Propane-fueled nightmares [Backdated to the morning after the party]

[Mercifully, Schuldig remembers almost nothing of his death; the sensation of his body being twisted more or less blended in with the agony he'd already been experiencing, and his neck snapping happened so suddenly that there's really nothing to remember.

But he remembers the pain, in crystal clarity. And when he jerks awake and upright in bed, breathing hard, it's almost still there, the memory so vivid he has to bring his hands up to cover his eyes and confirm that yes, the sensation of his fingers is what's real, anything else is just an unwelcome ghost...

He can see those fingers, too, which means the blindness is also gone. But still...he feels shakier and more unsettled than he ever thought he could be, than he's been since Rosenkrüs. The comparisons between this place and that one just keep racking up, which is doing nothing for his frame of mind.

He hated Rosenkrüs, more than he's ever hated anything else.

He re-establishes the telepathic link between the Schwarz members, slowly, almost easing his way into their minds. And, eventually, he gets up and goes to the phone, his voice a low rasp rather than his usual sleazy confidence.]


Schwarz, we need to talk. In person.

Joshua...did you ever go see that girl? Your mind's as coy as the rest of you. [It almost sounds like a joke, except that he doesn't quite manage to pull off the humor.] If anyone talked to that Lucy girl, then I want to talk to you.

[Schuldig grins sidelong at Farfarello.] You do know this isn't a hit list, Farfarello. I'm supposed to feel them out. Or were you going to help me?

Let me know if there's anything specific that needs my focus.

[With that, Nagi will quietly leave.]

Since when do I let you work alone when the fun can be shared? Besides, didn't you once say that people's thoughts are more interesting when they're frightened? Or did I dream that? [Yes, Farfarello dreams of you frequently, Schuldig. Mostly just rehashing things that actually happened, though, nothing untoward.]

[Schuldig laughs low in his throat at the nudge, but turns and gestures for Farfarello to follow.] Come on, then; we can pick out which ones sound like the most fun to go after.

Let's go down the list in order...it might seem that much more random to them... [He gets up and follows easily.]
