We have to?

From:

Who else?

From:

How are we supposed to do something about it when most of us don't even know what's going on?

From:

You would do well to ask the one who caused the issue, then. It was one of your numbers. It's only fair that one of your numbers also provides the solution, no?

From:

...And if we can't get an answer out of the guy who did it and stop it, we're just screwed, huh?

From:

If I answered 'yes,' would that motivate you to search for the answer?

From:

[he sounds so very unamused. annoyed, even]

No, that just confirms my theory. Shit, most of these people are useless, too.

Do you at least know how long we have to figure it out?

From:

I do believe the phrase 'as soon as possible' would be applicable here.

From:

Do you know what that is?

From:

Would you rather we didn't?

From:

Then you know there's nothing we can do to stop it. Not even the man who summoned it.

From:

So you plan on merely waiting for death to come for you?

How productive.

From:

Unless you had a better idea. I don't know what you expect to happen.

From:

What's the phrase that some use? Ah -- "help those that help themselves."

I wonder why it comes to mind.

From:

... So what? You're not going to do anything unless we figure it out on our own? There's not enough time for that.

From:

You certainly seem to have the leisure of sitting around and having this conversation with me.

From:

Because I thought you might want to save your city. Do you know how to help, or are you just trying to put us on?

From:

Which would you prefer?

From:

Is that a joke?

From:

Then show us how badly you want it.

From:

...

[makes a frustrated sound and mutters something that sounds a lot like, "you're fucking kidding me" before cutting the transmission]

From:

[ooc; backdated to before convo with Zack, I think.]

The magisters are not responsible for this.

[ He sounds contemplative. ]

From:

What a genius statement to make.

From:

Is it.

The situation cannot be rectified if we doesn't know anything of it, Magister.

From:

But have you truly made an effort to dig up the answers?

From:

[ It's a statement of fact that he makes next. ]

Yes.

Have you, Magister? [ It's not an accusation. Merely a question. ]

From:

Accusing us would do you little good.

From:

You have misunderstood. It is not an accusation.

Only a matter of necessity.

From:

Speaking wisely, watching what you say, wording things to your advantage -- these are also necessities, no?

From:

[ Now she reminds him of Mukuro, and even Byakuran of Millefiore. But none of it shows in his tone, which remains as impassive as ever. ]

I have only ever said what I meant. Nothing else.

From:

A piece of advice: you would do well to learn to craft your intentions more delicately. A single word can make or break an answer in dire situations.

From:

[ And he can tell that she's toying with him. Too much time with Rokudo Mukuro does that to you. When he speaks again, his voice is audibly restrained. ]

Can it?

I'm not one to depend so much on words.

From:

I can tell.

From:

Do you have any useful information, Magister?

Or are we just going to continue with your word games?

From:

You haven't taken my advice to heart, I see.

How can I be sure that anything else I say will not also fall on deaf ears?

From:

[ A small noise, like a 'che'. ]

Word games still, I see.

I will listen, but only to what will help me 'rectify the situation', as you have put it yourself.

From:

Still not very convincing, I'm afraid.

Prove how badly you want this help, and perhaps you will be rewarded.

From:

[ A growl, then. A small chuff of laughter, and there might just be mirth in it. ]

Very well then, if you insist on such.

But I'm afraid that you will have to wait.

From:

You don't sound too worried.

From:

Would you rather I sounded panicked?

From:

Belin.

From:

Yes?

From:

It seems we've underestimated out little summoner friend and overestimated the ability of the others to combat his course of actions.

Where is Dai?

From:

I haven't seen him since we were dumped onto this plane.

But I'd assume he'd be in a place where he could easily watch Caim.

From:

...Typical, if so.

I advise you leave when it best suits you, Magister, although as soon as possible. Perhaps you could pull a few stragglers with you, if you so desire.

From:

Hmm, I see -- it must be worse than I expected.

I thank you dearly for the warning. Is there anyone you'd like me to shelter?
