[vintage_magic]

...Um, demons? [And she blinks, confused. To Lily, such things were usually troublemakers.] And what the heck is an ox bezoar?

Does he do that kind of thing a lot? [And there's a sigh. Maybe, she'd have to keep a closer eye on her tailor when he returned from missions.] I can drop it off at your apartment tonight or bring it tomorrow morning if you're going to be here.

Sorry for the delay!

[vintage_magic]

Oh, I hadn't thought of that. Are they really that simple to make? [While Lily did dabble in crafts of a witchy nature, she'd never tried mask making.]

With the decorations and all, I assumed they just bought them somewhere. I mean, if they just wanted to hide their identities, why bother to paint them? [A plain mask would do just as well as a decorated one.] Unless these kidnappers like arts and crafts that much.

[obimycommands]

More the latter, I think. Thou just hath to simply... do it!

[nofarplaneyet]

*That's what he likes about you, not!son.*

Then take your practice knife and start practicing high, middle and low slices 100 times each.

NBD!

[topgun_textiles]

Heh... I'd hate to leave any mask I make plain. Hell, why don't I show ya how to make one sometime? I bet the kids'd get a kick outta some Shinigami masks.

Anyways, I gotta wash up and get ready ta juggle bread at the DBP for a few. I whipped up some reproductions in the back room that you should get a look at- I tried to roll with a few summer dresses, went 1950's on 'em, but sized 'em up.

Tear me a new one if they suck!

Yup. We can wait

[pishirogane]

I would say that would be the exact reason why they didn't use plain masks. They're too similar to Shinigami-sama's mask. They're mad at us. They don't mean any ill-will to Death.

[As strange as that may sound. When Kanji mentioned work, she had to look at her watch] Ah... I should get to the Agency.

[vintage_magic]

[Lily gestures to one of the drill shapes.] So, if I concentrate on this shape in my mind, the obi will start to form it? That sounds simple enough. Is it the same with that Shield Weave you mentioned before?

[amorini]

Well, if he's so great, then he must have a partner already, right...?

[Give her a shot Shinji, she's going somewhere with this.]

[tauborn]

[This can't be any worse than the 500 vertical strikes he had to practice with each hand every day for Kaoru. And getting into a training regimen like this would be good for him, so he grins, and starts slicing high.]

One... two... three...

[sentiments]

Then that's what I'll do. Start off small, and progress from there.

[But once Cloud starts talking about the bond, Barnaby tenses up, feeling unbelievably uncomfortable by this new knowledge.]

But... why would I have this bond with him, if I don't know him? Is that something this world is capable of doing?

[sayatakagi]

The world has many twisted people in it, Takuto. [ she, unfortunately, knows ]

[kill_some_time]

What does it change, in the end?

[de_faulty_hero]

Before you left before, he gave you part of himself. [He hesitates, not really wanting to explain Sephiroth bled all over Barnaby. That seems a little grim.] His cells are in you and so a bond was created.

I suspect that you are the same person as you were before you left just... somewhere different on your own timeline. It doesn't make a lot of sense, but... I'm aware of you as if you are bonded with him.

[bloodinbloom]

Well... you don't have to be a shadow, or forgotten.

it's fine, don't sweat it! <:

[entreats]

Yeah, it was in Tel Aviv. [ she blinks. ]

Did you read about it on the mission board? Or did you have to do it before too? Not like it was a super difficult mission or anything, I didn't even get hurt by them. They're way too slow.

[obimycommands]

More or less. Though thou must understand how the weave is formed and where the obi must go to form it. The Spiral Weave is fairly simple, but thou must have a sense of the woven pattern for the shield.

[Which she demonstrates]

[hedgehogsdilemma]

... No.

[He looks a little sheepish to admit as much, but it does strike him as a little odd that Kaworu hadn't partnered up with anyone.]

[hedgehogsdilemma]

[That sounds about right.]

Yeah, I've only been here for about a month.

[i_am_not_eleven]

And you haven't been on the Network very much, have you?

[hedgehogsdilemma]

I've looked at it a bit. [More than just 'a bit', actually. It was something to do to pass the time when he didn't feel like leaving his apartment.] I haven't really posted to it, though.

[i_am_not_eleven]

Well, you should. It's a good way of making friends. [Or to figure out who was friends with your friends. Although in Sai's case he's definitely not using the term 'friends' the way it ought to be used.]

[companyvita]

[He struck a cord in there somewhere. As much as he would love to dig a bit more into that, he finds it better to remain civil for the time being.]

No. I suppose it doesn't matter as long as the job gets done. People can get hung up on wanting to know how somebody really feels. I just care about results.

[hedgehogsdilemma]

[Also useful for figuring out who you might want to avoid.]

I've... been told as much. It just really isn't the kind of thing I'm very good with.

[sentiments]

A... part of himself?

[He looks rather horrified by the thought. There's no way to hide how disturbing it is to hear that some stranger's cells are inside him and that stranger was watching him.

Barnaby takes a step back, shaking his head.]

You... must be mistaken. I'm quite certain there's no such bond between me and anyone, especially no one in this world.

[blue_wayfinder]

[She's heard of him of course. She remembered Death the Kid mentioning on the network that they had achieved Deathscythe status.]

That's right. I think they were already in the city long before I was.
