It's a shame winter doesn't last longer. I would like to see more snow, don't you think, mom?

[Merem and Ciel are taking a walk in the park, enjoying the warm weather like a normal family. Keywords there on normal. Unfortunately, there's an interloper here in the form of Arcueid, the Princess of the True Ancestors.]

IDIOT NUN!!

[The White Princess takes a hefty swing and nails Ciel right in the stomach. Even though she should be in horrid pain, she's still smiling. And she keeps smiling after a few more punches go to her face, which causes Arcueid to pause.]

What are you doing, Princess? This kind of thing is useless, you know? Watch and see.

[Merem grabs Ciel's arm and without pause, pulls her down and bites her neck. All the way through. Her head rolls off in a small spray of arterial blood and Merem grabs it before it hits the ground. The Crown starts to spin the head around on his finger struggling to balance it like a basket ball.]

See? It has to be like that.

I didn't want to kill her, I just wanted to beat her up for being stupid. I guess she managed to run away by getting droned because she knew what was coming. Or I guess maybe she didn't. Either way that shell is useless so you can do what you want with her.

[WELL. At least one of them is impressed with Merem's mad skillz.

Arcueid and Merem will be replying separately.]

A promise to play catch with her head in the park?

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

I said I would not let her live as a drone. Simple enough, yes?

[gandere]

That may be, but killing her out in public like this. Is it a display of your strength you're hoping to show or is it to provoke those who are close to her?

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

Option number two.

[gandere]

Is there a purpose behind it other than personal enjoyment?

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

How about you answer a question for me, Rin.

[gandere]

I will if you stop tossing her head for a moment. I find it difficult to concentrate when there's blood splattering near my feet.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

[He stops.]

Have you ever been a drone?

[gandere]

No, but I am familiar with them. Furthermore, I saw something peculiar in the dairy that just tugs at my mind with uncertainty.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

You can be familiar with them but you haven't experienced it. I have. Killing is a reprieve.

[gandere]

Could you.. tell me what it is like?

[ Her curiosity is fueled by the fact someone she loved cared for was a drone for a while. ]

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

No control, fuzzy thought process, knowing what you're doing is out of your hands and potentially disgusting.

Some may not remember it well but others do. Death is a release.

[gandere]

Less of an embarrassment as well.

... Merem. [ Quietly. ] Would you do the same for me if I became .. one of those things?

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

Would you want me to?

[gandere]

If it is that miserable..

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

[He leans close to Rin.]

Yes or no.

[gandere]

[ You know that nagging voice of Archer and Ciel that should be in her mind? Nope, it is completely overwhelmed by the concern of being a drone.. of being like Emiya-kun or Kirei.. well how they were. ]

Yes. [ Spoken under her breath. ]

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

...would you like to be a Dead Apostle like your teacher some day?

[gandere]

Hm? No, I think I can master the Second Magic in my lifetime without the need of things like that.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

If you could dabble in one sorcery, who says you can't take more time to learn the rest?

[gandere]

There is plenty of time here to learn the rest.. if possible. Right?

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

Who is going to teach you the other sorceries?

[gandere]

.. Hm, a good question. What do you know?

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

I only know about demonization.

[gandere]

[ b o r i n g ]

And decapitation.
