radio; shortly after the RM returns after eating Iggy

[prazerbutterfly]

You still awake, buddy?

[Because he needs a fill in, quickly.]

oh thank goodness, it's bro

[moonfang]

I wish I were sleepin'. But I'm on corpse duty. 'Sup?

[he doesn't explain 'corpse duty' unless prompted]

don't worry he's here to keep you company

[prazerbutterfly]

Corpse duty? Who died?

[Which is something he wants to know now just as much as:] What the hell happened to your group?

thanks bro

[moonfang]

Strange. I had ta kill him.

[he laughs a bit] Oh we had FUN! ... Too much fun, I think. We really made the Anathaeum's magic work! It was kind of awesome. Except... I think after I left, Lambert and the others pushed it a little too far.

anytime

[prazerbutterfly]

Oh, that's a shame. Well, if you have his corpse, she at least has his soul?

[Said far too casually for someone that should be concerned for their friend's death.] It's something isn't it? To bend reality in such a way~

Too far as in how? I saw the Ringmaster. She plopped right into the lake like she was in pain. I saw how badly Mister Ram, uh, Lambert, seems broken and scorched.

[moonfang]

Yeah. I didn't think I was gonna have time to extract him from his body, not with Ignatius still pulling on him. So I swallowed everything and bailed. His soul is safe and sound.

[he laughs again] It is! It's a power trip! I was able to call on Ichigo from a book I found about our life! A comic, actually... it was thrilling.

Oh, is that where she went... I wonder if she... nah. She couldn't have... I guess I'll just wait for her ta get back.. But I think Lambert and the others decided to uh... give Ignatius a taste of his own medicine, if ya catch my drift.

[prazerbutterfly]

Swallowed everything. You mean you use that... mouth of yours.

[Tyki hates that he can remember that mouth with distinct detail but he tries not to think about it. It was necessary.] I had planed on lazing about in the lake anyways but she's taking up most of the room. The water is steaming enough that fish are dying. I haven't exactly approached yet.

Idiots. Time is not a precious resource right now. Any other number of fae could've joined into that fight given time. But I won't scold. You did your job at least.

[moonfang]

Hehehe. Yep. Your best friend, my extra mouth. It comes in handy, you know?

[Yeah, Zangetsu. He knows.

Though the fact that the Ringmaster, in dragon form, is sitting in the lake steaming... that pretty much pushes everything else out of his mind, including ragging on his team mates]

Steaming?! Oh fuckin... she DID do it then! I bet she ate Ignatius!!

[prazerbutterfly]

Don't make me affectionately chop off your arm.

[He's kidding, of course. If Zangetsu and Tyki ever fought more than just a spar it would be the first thing to go.

Zan can't see it but Tyki looks a little shocked for once.] Wait, what, why? But she was in the carnival! Did she go out there?! [He knows she's known for eating fae but that usually came with a good reason.]

[moonfang]

Yeah! When I told her about what went down with Ignatius she left, real quick. And she was... well, she was pretty upset. [which is shocking to Zangetsu!] And then she came back. Christ. Nope. I refuse to believe she did somethin' like that. [he doesn't want to believe it!! IT'S TOO BAD]

[prazerbutterfly]

Like... actually upset? [Maybe he should step forward and go see her. He's not sure yet. There seems to be a lot of people approaching her already. He's just too far away to hear them properly.] After all this mess, we really don't need more on our hands.

[moonfang]

Yeah. Legitimately upset! Real tears and everything. I'm... not sure why, but I know it musta been serious. [he groans] Yeah. I agree there.

[prazerbutterfly]

[Actual tears, from the Ringmaster, and everything. He knew she was different from other fae and that is kind of why he likes her for her repeated actions. Yet all the stories of a fae not having such traits makes him go quiet.

Perhaps quiet for too long because the conversation hangs there for almost a minute. It's almost habit to want to comfort like a gentleman.] Sorry, got lost in thought there.

How long you've been waiting there?

[moonfang]

[Yeah. YEAH. It's a pretty serious thing! Zangetsu gives Tyki time to digest it; it'd taken him quite a while himself!]

Eh, it's alright. I know it's a shockin' revelation. And... ehhhh... 'bout half an hour?

[prazerbutterfly]

Well, given how in distress she seems I don't know if she's going to be back any time soon... [She looks like she's in pain and dear lord is she letting out some really toxic farts.]

If you get too bored call me again. I'll be around.

[moonfang]

Distress? Whaddya mean by that?

[prazerbutterfly]

Pained, holding her belly, submerged in the lake, extreme flatulence.
