[ all he's doing is meditating; & he's alone ]

[Cautiously entering makes me feel like a stalker but...

cautiously entering]

[pussyfortono]

[ he hears the door open & opens his eyes ] Joe.

[blueondeck]

Should I have called?

[pussyfortono]

[ shakes his head ] No, it is fine.

[blueondeck]

[nods] Chiaki usually makes me call so I wasn't sure.

[pussyfortono]

Chiaki and I are different.

[blueondeck]

That much I know.

[pussyfortono]

Is something wrong?

[blueondeck]

Have you heard about Basco?

[pussyfortono]

I have.

[blueondeck]

Then I'll leave most of that to Marvelous. Right now he's not as dangerous as he could be.

[pussyfortono]

Ah. Marvelous has told me that he is before the betrayal.

[blueondeck]

He is, he doesn't know anything about me or the others.

[pussyfortono]

. . . what will you do?

[blueondeck]

Be nice until he pisses me off.

[pussyfortono]

And Marvelous?

[blueondeck]

Hasn't decided yet. What ever he chooses we'll follow, even if there's not much choice in this situation.

[pussyfortono]

Did he talk to you about it at all?

[blueondeck]

Marvelous is too upset to talk about it. He only just stopped destroying himself over it.

[pussyfortono]

. . .

Are you alright?

[blueondeck]

He kissed me. I've wanted to throw up for days.

[pussyfortono]

. . . Marvelous or Basco?

[blueondeck]

Basco.
