Merlin's gone.

[At least he's not breaking things this time. But if possible, he looks even worse than when Johannes left.]

I'm...I need a few days away.

[To sneak around with Yuca, yes, but also to heal broken heart do manly stuff like smash beer cans on his head instead of crying.]


Raven, can you look after Alice? Please?

[A hoarse laugh]

And then he'll leave again. Or I will.

[saucey]

Or neither of you will.

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

...And if he doesn't remember me?

[Because Horst is sure he'd love Merlin no matter what the dope was like when he returned, but....]

How is this worth it, Sasuke?

[That gets you a sad smile as he switches the filters.]

Allen doesn't remember me. When he came back, anyway. Same with Riku, and Sora when he was here. Rhode, too.

It hurts, but if they're back that's all that matters, right?

[He nods, but weakly.] I shouldn't want him back.

But I do, Sasuke, I do, I don't know if I can--

[...Yeah he can't quite admit that one out loud, actually.]

[private/unhackable]

[saucey]

I know. I still want Roxas to come back. I miss him, even if he won't remember me.

[private/unhackable]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

I want to go with him.

[private/unhackable]

[saucey]

What about us? Tyki, Allen, Negi, Al - ?

[private/unhackable]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Want to go live in Camelot?

[Weak attempt at a joke.]

I just don't know if I'd want to drag him back here...but then again, he seemed happy enough here.

How long have you been here, Sasuke?

[private/unhackable]

[saucey]

We'd have to bring whiskey for Tyki. Lots of it.

[A pause.]

Sometimes people are better off away from their worlds, too. [Like him.]

Two years at the end of the month.

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

[He snickers] If there's any left by the end of the month I'll be impressed.

[He pauses. It stretches into a long, long silence.]

I'm better off not going home, I think. At home, I'm in a crypt. I'll probably be there until the foundation dissolves...a few thousand years, if I'm lucky.

I want to stay here but I--I wanted him here. Just a while longer.

[private/unhackable]

[saucey]

He'd probably run out of his cigarettes first.

...I think we all want just a while longer.

[private/unhackable]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Yes but he'd just find something else to smoke.

[private/unhackable]

[saucey]

After bitching first, probably.

[private/unhackable]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

And during! It's a bloody Olympic sport with him.

I don't suppose your wife will let you sneak out with us anytime soon.

[private/unhackable]

[saucey]

[Snort.] Probably better at poker, though.

[A pause, and just the softest of laughs.] I don't think so.

[private/unhackable]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

I need to make Allen teach me how to beat him sometime.

[Wry smile] That's too bad. I could use another night out.

[private/unhackable]

[saucey]

You're not the only one.

I'm still trying to get back into the groove of things, too.

[private/unhackable]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Looks like you're getting in. ...We've been worried about you.

[private/unhackable]

[saucey]

Sorry.

[private/unhackable]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Tch, it's not your fault. Just glad you're up and about.

...How angry would your boy be if you just happened to find us in a pub?

[Being friends with Sasuke sometimes feels like when he was a kid and had to sneak his friends out in the middle of the night.]

[private/unhackable]

[saucey]

Well, he was pretty angry when I first got drunk with Tyki at the pub.

[private/unhackable]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Hm. So come get drunk with me.

[private/unhackable]

[saucey]

I'll see what I can do, Horst.
