[IC: post-dark!Zero]

[following his encounter with cornelia, one ill-fated prince who really has had better weeks is in route to the sewers to seek assistance from the only person he can really ask right now]


((OOC Notes: Because I screwed up my timing, the top and bottom threads are about a week apart. We are assuming after talk with C.C., Lelouch chilled in the sewers for a while and later ran into Suzaku while the knight was Zero-hunting. Just go with me here. o/))

Zero? I wouldn't have expected him to get caught like the rest of us. Are you certain it wasn't one of camp's typical tricks?

[oneknightstands.livejournal.com]

I'm not entirely sure. He was behaving strangely, but otherwise. . . he seemed like the real thing. But I haven't seen him since the night that he appeared.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

Behaving strangely?

[oneknightstands.livejournal.com]

He announced that he was going to destroy all of the bees in the camp.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

... He doesn't sound like the same person from the reports. An impostor?

[oneknightstands.livejournal.com]

I would've thought so, if we were still in our world. . . but no one else here should know about him, right?

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

I have heard about people occasionally assuming the form of others from their world who are not in camp. It may be another of this place's abilities.

[oneknightstands.livejournal.com]

But he recognized me as the pilot of the Lancelot as well.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

So he had his memories as well. I should hope this doesn't indicate the camp is learning new methods of deceit.

[oneknightstands.livejournal.com]

[considering. . . considering. . .]

. . . you think that the camp would go that far?

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

I try not to make any guesses as to this place's capabilities after what I've already seen.

[oneknightstands.livejournal.com]

But what happened to the impostor?

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

I suspect he assumed his ordinary form after the effect wore off.

[oneknightstands.livejournal.com]

. . . and he would have lost any memory of it too.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[considers that pause but never falters]

It's a possibility.

[oneknightstands.livejournal.com]

What other way is there?

[pizzapathy]

[A wild C-ro appears!]

[oneknightstands.livejournal.com]

[how DOES she fit into his uniform . . . I MEAN a;sjdhkfkglgf]

Zero! But where did you--

[pizzapathy]

[aaand she's gone!]

[oneknightstands.livejournal.com]

Where are you going now?

[casting one look at Lelouch and then DASHING AFTER her, but. . . inevitable knight failure, anyone?]

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[well this is both unexpected and terribly convenient. there will have to be scoldings later...]

[oneknightstands.livejournal.com]

[. . . and walking back from WILD C-RO CHASE of inevitable failure]

He was too quick. . . but he's definitely here.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

[is still a bit dazed by this whole thing and replies quieter than normal]

... Ah.

[pizzapathy]

[watching and listening, discreetly]

[pizzapathy]

[flees!]
