.XI.: undecim regnum || voice ;

[undeify]

[His voice sounds tired, his initial words muttered with flustered irritation.]

...Typical. Like babysitting children in possession of knives.

[Even when he speaks directly, he sounds somewhere caught between emotions, as if he can't decide how he feels and thus is simply going to be in a bad mood over that, too, in addition to the heat.]Before

Worried about me? That's so sweet~ Don't worry, I haven't forgotten the snowboarding.

My boss has me doing some running around, but I'm thinking the next order of business is probably having a chat with Dai, if no one has already.

...

...I would advise against speaking with the Fire Magister on this subject unless you are clear thinking enough not to enter any deals with him.

[private]

[spysincera]

Right right.

Saying "any deals" is a little restrictive, don't you think? I don't know him, but it seems like he's the kind of guy who'd want something in exchange for a favor.

[private]

[undeify]

Do you think he's the type of person to do favours?

[cinerous]

You sound as though you have a solution. Now it would help if you damn well stopped withholding information and half answers and then telling us oh no we're not going to give you access to the thing you need to stop it!

[undeify]

[he sounds clearly frustrated, like a child confused about what they should be doing because perhaps they do want to help but can't.]

This isn't my domain, I can't help you with access to anything! I'm just...

[there's an audible sigh as he trails off and he's silent for a minute before finally speaking again. When he does, he sounds more composed and distance, but that hint of not really knowing what to offer is still present in his voice.]

...What information is being withheld from you?

[cinerous]

[This gives Asch pause, and he's slow to reply. When he speaks again, it sounds like he's keeping his temper in check, but there's a note of suspicion there too.]

You asked us what we're trying to do other than take down... Azmeth, was it? Is that the monster? What else can we do? The Fire Magister won't give us access to the Sephiroth or whatever it is we need to stop this.

[undeify]

Yes. Azmeth is the large child roaming the city.

As for what you can do... ...he should be reconsidering his decision.

[subdeify]

Only one?

[undeify]

Or as many as you'll spare me.

[subdeify]

I suppose I could be generous. What is it that you wish to speak about?

private ;

[undeify]

...I need your assistance with something.

[strawberrydie]

Do you have any plans?

[undeify]

Somewhat.

[strawberrydie]

Care to share?

[undeify]

I am sure it will be laid out for you soon enough.

[7livesleft]

-- Would it make a difference?

[undeify]

Yes.

[7livesleft]

Then I guess I'll start looking for a fire hose.

[undeify]

A fire hose...?...
