[Horst has been up late playing around with the PCD, trying to figure out more of it. But he looks exhausted, and not just because he's tried to stay up.

He puts his hand on the door of his makeshift bedroom, but decides at the last minute not to open it; the sun's still up. Why is it still up?

Hah, well, I've never thought of it that way but yes. I can eat other things but they don't really help.

[Johannes would prefer that to Horst feeding on him, and he reluctantly nods] Do you know any of the volunteers...?

I remember that Alphonse did, but I think that was under special circumstances. Riza, maybe?

[He shrugs.]

I wouldn't mind, but it's really up to you.

[It takes him a long, long time to finally answer] I'd prefer someone I know. Especially since this isn't...my 'home'.

Just let me know. I was planning to visit you anyway, to at least give you something to do while you waited.

...In that case, I wouldn't mind some company sooner than later.

Alright.

Is there anything you'd like me to bring? I don't really have cards, but I made a rather primitive chess set awhile back.

Ohh, chess sounds nice.

And I think we've got some juice here, for...after the transfusion.

[It's a lot less creepy on his end to think of it that way]

I'll bring it then.

Alright. I'll see what I can do. [He laughs, lightheartedly.] You know, all of my experiences, and I've never been bitten by a vampire. Bled to death, had my carotid artery cut, been bitten by a rather crazy person- I'm actually looking forward to a new experience. So don't feel bad.

[Only Yuca can sound happy while talking about bleeding out] Oh it's very nice, I hear. Much better than being burned to death, but not quite as nice as being stabbed.

Well, I've had both happen, so I think I can be the judge of that.

[His expression softens, but he's not one for pity and he doesn't backpedal] I'm sure this will be much better. Perhaps I'm biased, though.

Well, as long as I don't die from it, there's nothing to worry about!

[He laughs.]

Even if I do, then what does it matter?"

From: [identity profile] ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com
Well, strictly speaking it matters here because this would be a very bad week for you to be unavailable. [He's teasing. Mostly.]

And I'd rather not be the one to send you off to the Animus' hands. They put the sun up permanently, they're clearly a bunch of sociopathic bastards.

I've died here before.

[Nonchalant handwave.] They take something from you and plop you right back down like nothing ever happened. I don't even remember the week I was gone.

How do you know what they take...?

You just find out, I suppose. Sometimes- like if they take a memory- you never know. They don't exactly leave a friendly note.

...I guess that's better than some alternatives. You know what they took from you?

Yes.

But it's hard to explain, and I'm not sure I want you to have that leverage over me yet.

[Horst nods slightly] Fair enough.

I can come over tomorrow- Break has offered to watch Rain for a bit. Would that be alright?

From: [identity profile] ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com
Yes, I'd like that. Time doesn't matter, come when you can.

And--who's Break? I don't think I've met him...her?

Xerxes Break is my- acquaintance, I suppose? We were friends, but we had a bit of a falling out.

[Namely, when Yuca turned him over to be vivisected out of boredom.]

With Rain's arrival though, he's been pleasant, and I know he'd never hurt him.

[Someday Horst will ask himself why he gets so very attached to people like Yuca and Johannes. Seriously, man.]

'Falling out'? How do you define that?

We had a disagreement or two during an event- we each said some nasty things.

[Lies, lies.]

But I suppose we're alright now.

[Hopefully not every disagreement results in a 'falling out' because if so, they're in for a rocky friendship.]

I'm glad to hear it. Er, you don't like debating? How bad does a disagreement get before you call it off?
