[gentilitea]

Posted: January 4, 2017
From: Jakob

---

It has come to my attention that the god Henir, otherwise known as Add, has sown chaos during my absence. As his shinki I deeply apologize for any damage he has caused, and would personally like to make reparations to the affected parties. You may reach me at [ IC Contact ] at any time.

Of course, I will personally investigate these claims before taking action, but rest assured that I will do my utmost to prevent any further trouble.

[ Or at least he’ll try to keep the damages to a minimum. ]

[ Should Jakob turn around, he would see Ain sprawled out over the floor, the lower half of his body disintegrated into mist. Clearly, this is the reason why he isn't in the video; he's just too low to.

He eyes Jakob for a few seconds of silence, before: ]

Why are you doing this?

[text] did you miss me yet

[deniles]

I'm so glad you're apologizing now because that really makes things better.

[gentilitea]

[ Jakob starts, spluttering— ]

How many times have I told you not to sneak up on me like that?!

sighhhhs

[gentilitea]

Indeed? Then I suppose you have no further need of my help.

i missed you too

[deniles]

No. And no one else does.

Because you left and everyone had to deal with it without you.

You're so thoughtful.

[abgrund]

[ Ain peers up at him, still lying on the ground ]

I've been here all along....

[gentilitea]

You noticed?

[ Not rising to the bait more than he has to, my guy ]

[gentilitea]

Then have the goodness to announce yourself next time. [ Geez, does he have to do everything around here?! ]

Now what did you say you needed? Out with it!

[deniles]

There's plenty of people who say dumb things here, but no one is as insufferable as you are.

[abgrund]

[ Didn't he just ask a question? ]

Why are you taking responsibility for Add?

[gentilitea]

And I’m sure you’re the shining beacon of charm and propriety.

[gentilitea]

[ He didn’t catch it after you’ve gone and given him a heart attack, okay!!! ]

Why not? I am his shinki, after all.

[abgrund]

[ THATS FAIR ]

But he did it when you weren't here. So it's not your fault.

[deniles]

It's not hard compared to you.

[gentilitea]

[ He looks away at that. ]

I was his shinki before all of that occurred. [ So, you know, gotta take responsibility retroactively and all that. ]

[abgrund]

Does it matter?

[ is the question that slips out - perhaps a little slowly, but it is immediate considering Ain's way of speaking. ]

Do you feel bad?

[gentilitea]

And what of it? I have no time to waste on you. If you have no business with Henir then I have nothing further to say to you.

[deniles]

I have business with everyone. Even you.

[gentilitea]

[ …FUCK. Enjoy that sting, Add. ]

I should have taught him better.

I presume you mean the failed core experiment, unless he has done something else recently that I have not been made aware of.

[oh god please tell her he hasn't done anything else stupid lately, her life is too dramatic already]

[gentilitea]

That’s laughable. I have nothing to do with scum like you.

[abgrund]

[ So he does. Ain is... not surprised, some how. It's a human sentiment. ]

It's not your fault.

[ Maybe he has to keep repeating it until Jakob understands. ]

All that is in the past now. [ It means nothing. ] He made those decisions of his own free will.

[ It means nothing. ]

How will he learn this lesson if you protect him from it? He must understand this by himself... he must.

[deniles]

Now now. We both know you're a terrible person who should have stayed dead, but there's no reason to talk about other people like that.

[gentilitea]

From what I understand, there have been multiple issues, and Add has not been entirely forthcoming with all of them.
Would you care to explain further on this experiment of his?

[gentilitea]

He evidently hasn’t understood enough. [ And his reunion with Add is already enough to convince him of this. ]

And we have a duty to make sure he does.
