[Schuldig's voice sounds far more irritable and lacking in amused arrogance than usual. Also, he's very brief.] Hey, Siberian. We need to talk.

[Sigh]

Whaddya want Mastermind.

[have-your-lives.livejournal.com]

Something's wrong with Nagi's mind. Haven't you noticed?

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

I haven't really seen him this morning...Though he was especially bitchy.

What the hell did you do to him.

[have-your-lives.livejournal.com]

It wasn't me. And if it had been, I certainly wouldn't bring it to your attention, would I?

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

You like to rub things in. Why am I supposed ta believe you.

[have-your-lives.livejournal.com]

He tried to kill me.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

He tried to kill you [This bit is said sarcastically and with a deadpan. And then he stops, and thinks about what Schuldig just said.]

He tried to kill you?! Why?! I mean I try and kill you but he's on your team...I didn't think you were that annoying.

[have-your-lives.livejournal.com]

I haven't been. Hell, I've irritated him a lot more in the past without him throwing anything larger than a toaster at me, and those were usually warning shots. But I've got a concussion and some stitches that say something's different, if you don't believe what my telepathy tells me.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Ah...no. No I believe you. Wow.

Fuck. This might be what Hughes was talkin' about.

[have-your-lives.livejournal.com]

...you're the only person I know other than me who'd bother trying to snap him out of it. [Schuldig sounds as though saying this - or, rather, the implications of saying this, specifically 'you're the only person inclined to help me with this' - is like pulling teeth.]

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Schuldig. You know I'm not as smart as you so please, tell me if I'm gettin' something wrong.

Are you...asking for help? From me?

[have-your-lives.livejournal.com]

[This is so distasteful that Schuldig refuses to even say it aloud at all. But Ken will hear an extremely grudging, slow-in-coming yes in his head.] Also, I despise you.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

I hate you too. I just wanted to be sure. Now what the fuck are we gonna do? This is your area of expertise, not mine.

[There maybe the thought of Aya's order to leave Schuldig the fuck alone, but Ken is so disregarding that. Nagi in a killing mood was bad for everyone]

After Nagi gets picked up and they get to Schu's house

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

[Ken was glad to see Schuldig's house come into view. He stopped the car and opened the door to grab Nagi.]

I hope he's right about this. If he's wrong I'm gonna gut him.

[have-your-lives.livejournal.com]

[Schuldig opens the door. He definitely looks the worse for wear after his encounter with Nagi; his arm is bandaged and he's favoring one leg. Add that to the bandage over his missing eye, and he's probably never looked worse in the time Ken's known him.] Telephone cord? Really?

[bittermayfly.livejournal.com]

[Nagi doesn't exactly look pleased to be bound like this and he shoots Schuldig a glare as well.]

Why are you working with Weiss?

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Shut up! It's all I had in the house! [Ken's glaring at Schuldig, thinking very annoyed thoughts.]

Where do you want him.

[have-your-lives.livejournal.com]

[Schuldig gestures idly at the living room. It's clear he doesn't care where Nagi is set down.] What a question to ask, Nagi. You tried to kill me; you're closer to doing their work for them than I am.

[bittermayfly.livejournal.com]

I was going to kill him too.

[He tries to kick or bite at Ken]

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

[Underneath all his grumbling, Ken's pretty worried about Nagi too. So at least this time he sets him down gently in a chair.]

The cords should hold for a while.

[have-your-lives.livejournal.com]

Good. [Schuldig sits down across from Nagi, studying him.] So what's your plan, Prodigy? Kill everyone who can stand you until you're stuck with those who can't?

[bittermayfly.livejournal.com]

[He sighs]

Kill everyone who's useless to me. Neither of you are any use.

[Whatever it was controlling Nagi's mind is only growing stronger now]

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

[Ken looks at Nagi for a minute and bites his lip, debating on if he should say something. This wasn't his area of expertise. Anyone else he could appeal to their good nature but Nagi? He couldn't do that.]

But when does it stop Nagi?

[have-your-lives.livejournal.com]

Never. That's always been the idea. [Schuldig smirks.] And then you'll be all alone...right, Nagi?

[bittermayfly.livejournal.com]

[He shakes his head. There's a point to stop killing, but it's not then.]

I'm not going to be alone even after all the killing ends.
