[An hour before dawn, Horst's PCD clicks on. He's in the very small, windowless space he calls a room, but he's grinning. His voice is barely above a whisper, since this room--like the one in the church--is connected to Johannes's.]

Greetings, gentle viewers. I hope you haven't forgotten the previous lessons in the care and feeding of a necromancer. Tutorials resume soon.

[Someone is smiling at you, Horst. Can you even believe it?]

Gonna introduce us properly this time?

[He grins, more playful than he's been in months.]

Depends. Are you going to try to scare him away if he mouths off to you?

[Surprisingly, he likes your playfulness more now. Who would have thought?]

Will he get offended if I mouth off back?

Yes, but don't take it personally. God knows I don't. He finds the fact we share air with him offensive.

[He stretches, yawns, murmurs something vague and German. He is in a Good Mood, man.]

Any big surprises in your life?

I think I've been dealing with you long enough not to care.

[That's such a loaded question, Horst. Such. A Loaded. Question.]

One or two.

Don't keep me in the dark! Figuratively, of course.

[He just sighs, before turning the feed over to private.]

I got into with Sephiroth over Zack.

...What happened?

[Not a happy face, but Cloud's alive, so he's not going to flip a table either.]

Don't tell me: you cut off his hair.

[He's silent for a moment while he calls up the conversation (http://argentimperator.livejournal.com/2329.html?thread=118809&style=mine#t118809) and sends it to Horst.

There were certain things you did not do when it came to Cloud. Fucking with Zack was number one on the list. And guess who did it?]

He's still walking, if that's what you wanted to know.

It could have been worse.

[He gets the feeling it could've gone much much worse, actually.]

You never did tell me what he is capable of doing.

[You have no idea. He could have given into his homicidal wants and murdered him on the spot. But he resisted. Be proud, Horst.]

You'd have to ask Zack. He's different now than when I fought him.

How do you know?

[Because that sounds suspiciously like avoiding the question.]

Because he hasn't lost his mind and gone bat shit insane yet.

...And what does he do when he does topple over the side into madness?

Didn't I explain this to you before? Don't tell me your memory is that bad.

I'm asking for specifics. How does he, ah, destroy everything?

And yes. It is that bad.

He set my entire village on fire. That specific enough for you?

[Horst's expression softens, because he didn't mean it like that. Or he did, but he hates that he had to ask.]

I wish, just once, the Animus could bring us Freud instead of psychopaths.

Pretty sure they get off on it.

If I think too hard about what they're doing up there whilst watching us down here, I may never leave the house.

Big Brother's always watching you, Horst.
