I just want a bit part in your life

[Locked to Eris]
I'm finished. Please fulfill your end of the bargain now.

[Issei is shown curled up into a ball on his bed, rocking back and forth. He's talking to himself, seeming as though he's desperately trying to convince himself of his own words - his voice is frantic bordering on hysterical.]

( OOCly cut for length. )

((Issei doesn't do well with trauma. Replies to comments will be a little while later, after he's calmed down some and put up a brave front. The actual explanation post will be a couple hours after that.))

Allen was successfully defeated. Three labors left - Prince Larsa's two swords, Rufus ShinRa's panther, and the Corinthian's cat.

...I don't know if I'm skilled enough to take on any of those locations. But I can't wait. If I can just finish those last three, it'll all be over. Everyone could get their things back, I could rest...

I'll have to be able to do it at my current level of skill, then. It would take a long time to go looking around for a teacher, and there are still people out there who want my head. It's best to finish quickly.

((Translation: Issei's really, really worried about screwing up now.))

That's... six labors completed. Two more and it'll be more than half.

And Kuroba is alive.

...yes, it's a good day.

I suppose if I'm ever going to steal the Grave of Maria, it would be now, since everyone is still angry with Cross' son and that might distract him. Except I don't know how I'm going to steal anything taller than I am.

I meant to ask Kid, but - well, it's better to wait a while, if I ever do. I doubt he wants to go heisting any time soon.

((Arcueid, you said you wanted to interfere? Or, Ada could offer her training now? Or something?))

If anyone wanted to know something about bullet wounds?

They hurt. Tremendously.

Two labors down, thirteen to go. I think I may have to recuperate before attempting the next labor, which is... obtaining Vanessa's collar, I suppose? Probably wants it for science.

((I hope this is okay, Haibara-mun?))
