[Open in the infirmary] Suzaku's eyes flickered open and he frowned as he slowly made sense of the new surroundings. He knew where he was quickly as he had spent a lot of time in the infirmary when Nunnally had been unconscious. He sat up slightly feeling dizzy and letting what he remembered wash over him.

In the dungeon, with Zero. Yes... Lelouch was Zero... Suzaku stared at his memory charm bracelet. Lelouch was Zero but he was also the emperor Suzaku had promised to serve. To bring about Zero Requiem.

He remembered Lelouch shouting at him, shooting his Weapon. He hated him... because Suzaku and Lelouch had spoken about what Lelouch knew and Suzaku knew that he somehow came from a later point in time than Lelouch... Lelouch knew nothing about Suzaku being his knight.

His hands went to the necklace round his neck trying to pull it off. No matter how hard he pulled it was stuck fast. He couldn't take it off... Linked to Lelouch... to Zero. To Lelouch who still believed Zero's ways to be the way to change the world.

He clenched his fists, not knowing what to think or what to do. Angry and guilty, he thought he finally had it worked out but now he was confused again, not knowing what to do.

[Private PDA text to Dolorosa] Dolorosa, it is Suzaku Kururugi from Conquest. Can I talk to you please.

[Later at the lake side] When Suzaku was finally released from the infirmary after he had eaten and changed he went to the lake. The ship was gone now, the waters remarkably calm. He sat staring out at the water, trying to piece together his thoughts. To work out what to do.

Even if she's not the best at showing it, she's saddened by this news. She was happy to find out that Gino and Suzaku are here but she doesn't know what to do outside of taking orders and, well, hanging out with Gino.

"Oh, Fortitude. I can go to Conquest?"

Suzaku returned the look, it was much better for Anya to be in Fortitude away from Day or Santana, both for her sake and theirs.

Mainly theirs if he was being honest. "If you are a Weapon and your Player is from Conquest you can." He sat up a little bit more and reached out for the box that held his possessions he had had with him when he entered the dungeon with Lelouch.

"So if you end up teaming up with someone and they fight Conquest, make sure they lose!"

What was ethics, really. He knew Anya wouldn't care that much, anyway, but if her weapon was as powerful as Mordred they'd have a hell of a time making a loss convincing. He thought about it. "Try and find someone weak."

Speaking of, Suzaku's movements caught his attention like a string pulled in front of a cat, and he perked up. "Su-za-ku~. How's your jewellery collection coming along?"

Maybe more confusing than suddenly being here and having Suzaku and Gino act like they've been here so much longer is being told to lose, but it's something she is capable of doing. ~~Then again they'd just look at her and go aww look at the cute loli who doesn't know how to fight, and then she can beat them all later. This could work to her advantage.~~

She nods, try and find someone weak and lose on purpose. But her attention gets pulled away from the prospect of losing a battle and towards Gino's sing-song voice. Jewelery collection?

Suzaku nodded at Gino's advice, "If either of us are Players we can win you and then you can come here whenever you want."

He shrugged and pulled out the three upgrade rings, his memory bracelet was obviously still on his wrist and his link necklace couldn't be removed. "That one is Don's, not mine," he gestured one of the rings. Two upgrades of his own. He put them on so he wouldn't loose them.

"Huh, you need to get serious about this," He blinked down at Suzaku's two personal upgrades, then rummaged in his pocket for a second to retrieve his set. He held them out so Anya could see, having picked up on her interest.

Or what passed for interest with Anya, anyway. Wevs. "Right, right. These are upgrades. We only get five at first, okay? But they're cool... Gino's got more than Suzaku 'cause he's won more battles and he has a great partner. You'll probably get them fast, too. Just challenge a lot of people."

So she needed to collect this jewelry in order to get stronger, it would be like getting Mordred upgraded. Okay, she can do that. Anya leans over to get a better look at the upgrades. She had to get stronger in order to defeat, uh, someone. For someone else? Who knows.

She rummages around in her pocket and pulls out the Raks she received earlier, "Money for upgrades?"

Actually Suzaku had won more battles than Gino but he had bought Lelouch and Feferi's upgrades with his money. He didn't say anything though because he didn't want to confuse Anya. He nodded at her question.

"When you fight you get more money, and you can buy upgrades with it."

Details, details. He'd lost more, too. And buying memories and rings for other people was kind of silly when you hadn't got all of your upgrades, right? Gino didn't really understand Suzaku's martyr thinking at all.

"Right! Let's see, you can get one with the money you've got there. Huh, I'll show you the shop later."

Suzaku nodded, "Though you might want to get a PDA first." He pulled his own out of the box and showed it to her.

She looks at his PDA and pulls out her own cellphone, "I have one," she says, not realizing that it's Rakuen specific. Maybe she can get Recette to just upgrade her own phone with the proper software.

"Nah, you don't need those. They've got computers all over the place," Gino waved away the suggestion with extreme flippancy. "I guess if you want one, now's the time. They'll be cheaper... But if you wanna talk to someone, you can just find them in person."

"Gino's right... You probably don't need one." He put his own in his rucksack with his raks and school books. He wondered if he was allowed to leave, he still felt week but didn't want to stay in here any longer than he needed to.
