[When the camera starts you just see a flailing arm and hear a few highly undignified high-pitched squeaks. Then an upright torso topped with shaggy hair scrabbling at his face. When the focus corrects on the camera, you can see him pulling a handful of slugs off of his face, as well as some lettuce leaves.

But then he seems to be having a different trouble. He curls forward in pain, and then stiffens again, reaching a hand around to his back. With how he's not masking the pain, he's not aware that he's being recorded at all.

Slowly, he moves his legs out from under the blankets, not really caring at all about the fate of the critters that had been on his face. When he finally grabbed the PDA and saw it'd been recording, the pain is covered by anger.] Suzaku. I need you. [And off.]

((Jade put some slugs on Lulu's face as thanks for him being such a stellar person. And he also just got canon updated to right when he got shanked by Suzaku. So. Pain much?

The muse might be a bit selective in who he replies to. So if you don't get a response, don't take it personally!))

Death would be a mercy. He will answer to Zero for the rest of his days.

[Which might as well be death in her eyes. Yet, somehow? It's... worse.]

... I see. Thank you, I suppose.

It wasn't for you. I had to place him in the most useful position in the new Britannia. After I was gone.

What do you mean "after you're gone?"

Re: [Private]

I suppose there's no purpose in keeping secrets now.

I planned it all. My entire rise to power, the battles thereafter, until my assassination by Zero. I had to turn all the hatred in the world onto a single target. And then destroy that target with a symbol of justice.

[There's a pause as she considers this. As Gino's words echo hauntingly in the back of her mind. Then, after a moment, she responds as simply as she can without giving any of her thoughts away.]

I... see. Then I suppose I should greet my new boss.

[And for some reason, saying that hurts. She's never had trouble letting go of a boss before but this one... well, no one can deny he was special. It's strange.]
