Hello, this is Carlisle. I mean, it's not Carlisle as in I'm actually answering you right now, so if you're trying to reply to me at the second, you should probably save your breath because I'm not really here. This is some kind of a recording of my voice, but this is my communicator. I'm going to assume these devices are as common here as they are in other places — not my world, but others, ones more technologically advanced than where I come from— so if you'd like to leave me a message, then you may do so here, or er... Right. Here is fine. So just leave yo— [beep]

yeah something like that

「Modern times are confusing, man.」

[tongueamok]

[Thankfully, his grunt of frustration doesn't translate into text.]

It is the nature of many demons to cause chaos; however, I doubt she is the only one who would risk such ventures.

[puzzlingly]

i know
it would be mostly out of desperation
i know i would if it would fix everything

[tongueamok]

Desperation does not excuse risking your life or the lives of others.

[puzzlingly]

「Oh that's funny, it is.


Actually, no, it's not.」

i know
but im glad youre here to tell that

[tongueamok]

I only hope you take such words to heart.

[puzzlingly]

i dont wanna die again

[tongueamok]

I don't expect most people do.

Did it hurt?

[puzzlingly]

no

[tongueamok]

I see. I hope there was some comfort in that.

[puzzlingly]

i try not to think about it

sorry i didnt mean to bring it up like that

[tongueamok]

There is no need to apologize.

[He's just been thinking a lot lately about his own end.]

[puzzlingly]

「He can see why Carlile would ask that, but he cannot assure him it'd be the same for him... if, it happens.」

when the storm is over can i go see you?

[tongueamok]

[Just... going to take a second to answer this one.]

I have not been in the best of health as of late, and would be very poor company.

[puzzlingly]

i know
thats why

[tongueamok]

[Ah. Another pause between messages as he searches for the words and determines just how much he should tell his student. Atem will find out eventually, has helped him before... and well, he is a little fond of the lad.

Truer, then.]

I am afraid you will not like what you'll find.

[puzzlingly]

im not afraid of some gooey blank thing

「That's probably a way to gauge it.」

[tongueamok]

It is called the black bile.

i'm so sorry

[puzzlingly]

okay fine
im not scared of the ~~~~black bile~~~~

Bless him.

[tongueamok]

What you are and aren't afraid of doesn't particularly matter in this case, now does it?

[puzzlingly]

is it so hard to understand that i wanna see you one last time?

[tongueamok]

One last time? You make it sound as though I am dying right now.

[Which... is not all that far off, honestly.]

[puzzlingly]

arent you?

「Carlisle...」

[tongueamok]

[HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM]

What would you do if I said I was?

[puzzlingly]

「That's cheating!」

go see you
