We're siblings, but not by blood, and we met over the community.

[croibhristeoir]

I see. That makes a little more sense. [Sigh. At least he wouldn't turn a corner and have some poor woman all over him.]

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I can assure you that everyone in this temple is male.

[croibhristeoir]

Sorry, that...probably seems like a very strange thing to be relieved about.

[Cough.]

Shouldn't we, er...do something about the fact that there's a dead body that looks remarkably like you here?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Right. It'll disappear whenever the virus ends, but that could take days. Burial or cremation?

[croibhristeoir]

Either would have been a viable option in my time, so I'm really not sure if things have changed. Cremation might make it less likely for someone to stumble upon anything suspicious.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Cremation is the better idea. Let's do that promptly.

[croibhristeoir]

Of course.

[Sheesh, creepy other!Issei. Can't make things easy, can you.]

[stripping.livejournal.com]

[And then they set creepy other!Issei on fire.]

[croibhristeoir]

[Awesome.]

Are you certain you're alright?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I'm fine. Like I said, this time I was faster.

[croibhristeoir]

I just mean....you don't seem the type to take killing someone so easily in stride.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

[Virus creations aren't people, duh.]

Past a certain level of things you can do to my loved ones, I no longer care about whether you exist or not.

[croibhristeoir]

...Very well. I can't argue with that logic.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Besides, it isn't the first time I've killed anything. I've destroyed monsters before when the community was overrun with them. If it were my first time, I would be much more shaken up.

[croibhristeoir]

I didn't realize. Perhaps I shouldn't have doubted you.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I'm no Servant, but I've been a community member for three years. I've been through some things.

[croibhristeoir]

I can hardly imagine, at this point.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Things I hope you never go through.

[croibhristeoir]

I'm sure I can handle it.

[LANCER HONEY DON'T TEMPT ME]

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I'm not doubting it, but...

[croibhristeoir]

But what?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

What you just said is tempting fate.

[croibhristeoir]

Perhaps. But I'm not frightened of this community or whatever horrors it can produce. I'll simply fight whatever comes as I always have.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you can handle it.
