004 ★ do you want to talk about murder? ( forward dated to midnight on 6/18 )

[promisedyou]

[as reference, this post is posted before this when the clock strikes midnight and the 17th turns to the 18th!]

I need help as soon as possible - if anyone here can help with healing a possible terminal disease, let me know and we can talk details. Money isn't an issue.

And for those who might have seen me yesterday, can you message me? There's some things I would like to speak to guys about. It's important.

Talk to Zee.

[promisedyou]

Why?

[usurpers]

I had something similar tied into my powers that cut my lifespan down with use. I didn’t have too much time left with them.
I spoke to Zee about it and he guaranteed he wants to keep us alive. He doesn’t work on it directly, but he does give the problem to people who do.

[promisedyou]

That doesn't matter to me.

By the time he gives that problem to people who can work on it, it will already be too late.

[usurpers]

I thought I’d die the next day and I’m still here. Why are you rejecting one of the only chances you probably have?

[promisedyou]

Because I don't trust Retrospec.

[usurpers]

It’s not like you have anything more important to lose.
I hope you find what you’re looking for either way.

[promisedyou]

[That's... honestly kind of ironic considering, yeah. She doesn't. She's already lost the most important thing.]

Maybe.

But thank you.

[usurpers]

[ he really wishes he can help more, but—

freedom of choice. at least he did what he could. ]

They don’t deliberately give these to us. They know as much about our memories and repercussions to abilities as we do, which isn’t a lot.
If you have no where else to go, give it thought.

[promisedyou]

The fact that it isn't deliberate doesn't make it any better.

[In fact, it makes it worse, in some ways. Does that mean she's just simply unlucky?]

I'll use it as a last resort if there's nothing else.

[usurpers]

It means there’re ways around it.
Just don’t give up.

[hauntedsavior]

[what the hell? she looked fine earlier in the month—oh, christ.]

Retrospec gave you a fucking terminal disease?

And yelling at them to fix it probably won't do any good. Fuck, I don't think Kara's that kind of doctor, but ask her anyway? Shit.

[promisedyou]

Unfortunately. I don't have much time, I'm pretty sure, so I need to find someone fast. If I can contact this Kara, then maybe I can get her help, but... that's only if she's willing and able to.

[hauntedsavior]

Holy shit. How much time do you have?

[promisedyou]

I don't know.

[hauntedsavior]

[fuck. shit. fuck.]

Nobody I know who could help is gonna be awake right now. Shit.

God I hope someone fucking pulls through.

[promisedyou]

It's fine.

I'll figure something out. I have to.

[hauntedsavior]

I mean, it's fucking not fine, but. Yeah. Jesus.

Keep us updated? I don't know what else I can do right now. I don't know enough people.

[promisedyou]

I'll try.

[spiritoso]

What?? Mio, where are you? Maybe we can find someone to help together.

[promisedyou]

You shouldn't be near me right now, Kaede. I'm not safe to be around.

[spiritoso]

What do you mean? You're not contagious or anything are you?

[promisedyou]

I don't know, actually. But even if I wasn't, I'm not safe to be around.

[spiritoso]

Why do say that?

[ This just has her more worried. What could it be, if she's not contagious? ]

[promisedyou]

I'd rather not speak about it.

Not on Retrospec.

[spiritoso]

That's okay. If you want to talk to me or anything off the app, you can.

Be careful. I hope you get the help you need.

[promisedyou]

... I don't know if you'd really want to.

Since I'm a horrible person now.

[spiritoso]

No way!! Horrible people don't say they're horrible and tell others they shouldn't be around them!

[promisedyou]

I don't know.

I did something bad already, though.

[spiritoso]

What did you do??

[promisedyou]

I don't want to say.

Not here. I'm sorry.

[spiritoso]

I understand.

[ Kaede frowns down at her phone. ]

I'm going to come look for you in the morning. I know you don't want me to but I can't leave things like this.

[promisedyou]

I... won't stop you, in that case.

[livingimpaired]

A terminal disease.

I certainly can attempt to heal it. It would be my first attempt, however, so I apologize about you having to be a guinea pig in it, but I suppose we have no options now, do we?

[promisedyou]

It's fine.

I said it before: you were honest with me, so I don't mind. We can at least make the attempt. It's better than nothing. Where do you want to meet?

[livingimpaired]

Very well.

And as for where we meet, wherever you wish to. Given the situation, it would be better to be where you are most comfortable rather than having to go anywhere unfamiliar.

[promisedyou]

Alright.

Can you meet me at this location, then? [And she gives a location after that.]

[livingimpaired]

I can.

I shall hope for the best when I get there, too. [ That is, he hopes that he will be able to cure her. But also that her illness is not so terrible that his arrival means little. Could it be so fast-acting? Probably not. ]

[promisedyou]

Alright.

I'll be waiting.

[sanephiroth]

Mio?

private;

[promisedyou]

Hey.

I actually didn't want to talk about this on Retrospec, in spite of it being private, but I've revealed quite a bit publicly about it. But to be concise: this is why I was acting strange.
