I must beg leave to correct you on a point. This is a temporary place; we will be returned to life in, I suspect, a matter of no more than hours.

[theskyisfailing]

Really?!

[myblackwand.livejournal.com]

It's as I've said. At the conclusion of the "game", which draws very near now, all those who have died will be revivified.

[theskyisfailing]

Thank God.

[myblackwand.livejournal.com]

Well, as that's the case, I suppose there's little to do but wait. I presume you remember nothing of your own death? You perceive, any information you have regarding the shepherds might be valuable.

[theskyisfailing]

I don't remember. Even if it's only temporary...that doesn't make it alright! I want a word with them too!

[myblackwand.livejournal.com]

Well, as to that, you're hardly alone; I intend to say two words to them at the least opportunity.

If Gokudera or Yamamoto find out.....I doubt these shepherds would explain it's temporary, huh?

[myblackwand.livejournal.com]

Certainly not. But I'm sorry to say that they're one of the teams which has managed to survive, so it's likely they know already.

[theskyisfailing]

I have to hurry up and get back then!

[myblackwand.livejournal.com]

I estimate that the game will end not far past midnight. Unfortunately, even for one such as myself, with experience in travel between worlds, this place is quite inescapable.

I'm sorry, to be the bearer of ill news.

[theskyisfailing]

Thank you for explaining....

[myblackwand.livejournal.com]

Really, it's the least I could do.

[theskyisfailing]

This is bad...

[myblackwand.livejournal.com]

I must agree. Still, though I hate to admit it, with some small amount of patience we will see it through. Though I do wish there was a way to spare Yamamoto and Gokudera from this latest of the shepherds' games.

[theskyisfailing]

...I...

[myblackwand.livejournal.com]

...?

[theskyisfailing]

I really didn't want them to have to go through this again.

[myblackwand.livejournal.com]

I can certainly understand that.

[theskyisfailing]

Even if it's only a few hours....the effect on them is going to be...

[myblackwand.livejournal.com]

I know. They're both tremendously loyal to you; I've not had much occasion to speak with Gokudera, but even so, it's quite obvious.

[theskyisfailing]

It is, isn't it.

[myblackwand.livejournal.com]

I perceive, however, that you've earned it well.
