[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/))

Quite unfortunate.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

Unfortunate? The last thing I need is for him to use this incident to turn the camp against Zero before I even have a chance to meet with them. As I said, some of them may prove very useful once a means of escape is discovered. But I question whether they will follow a lunatic who was raving on about insects.

[pizzapathy]

He can be dealt with.

It seems most people here have been affected by curses before, so it may not be too difficult for them to understand that Zero was cursed. Especially if he can prove it to them with another, more sane act.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

We've discussed this before, C.C. I will handle Suzaku.

Perhaps you are right. I will have to be on the watch for a better opportunity.

[pizzapathy]

Fine, fine.

... I also used the Geass on several of them. Their actions while under it can easily be attributed to camp, but the one in particular... it would have been better to keep that option open.

[pizzapathy]

Oh? I must have missed all that.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

They were meaningless orders but as effective as always. I haven't had the time to check on what came of Jr. after his were issued.

[pizzapathy]

What was he ordered?

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

To find the Director.

[pizzapathy]

Oh, lovely.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

Luck was on his side apparently, as my altered self saw fit to give him a time frame. I doubt he found her by the end of that evening so the command must have run its course by now.

[pizzapathy]

Good. That could have been problematic.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

It's already problematic. I'm not sure if whatever came over me has any lasting effects.

[pizzapathy]

Problematic for him is what I meant.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

Actual concern, C.C.?

[pizzapathy]

I am capable of it. He likely would have been looking for her his entire life.

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

Ah. But as that concern has been avoided, there is another one of more pressing importance to resolve.

[pizzapathy]

Proving Zero isn't entirely insane?

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

I have to prove that to myself first. As I said, I do not know for certain the extent of whatever possessed me. I have to ensure I am in complete control once more.

[pizzapathy]

Any ideas?

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

I will have to avoid the cabin for the time being... Matters are even more complicated there.

[pizzapathy]

Oh?

[thekingsgambit.livejournal.com]

Cornelia knows.

[pizzapathy]

What? How?
