[Yuri is broadcasting this after just picking himself off the floor. His voice sounds strained and very unhappy. Which he is considering he'd just lost his lunch.]

Those bastards did something to my soul gem.

Comments

[wolfstrike]

Sorry, kid. We caught one of my muggers, but I didn't get much out of her.

[He heard about Raine getting mugged too, but he couldn't give Genis any answers on that one.]

[strokeofgenis]

Well, if you caught her, then what'd you end up doing to her?

[Because this is so relevant to Genis' interests. Genis' voice doesn't sound happy-go-lucky or just curious. For once, the little tyke is being dead serious.]

[wolfstrike]

[Well... He's just going to tell it straight. No point in holding things back from a smart kid like Genis.]

She's gone. Injected herself with some kind of poison before we could finish questioning her.

[strokeofgenis]

WHAT?!

Whatever it was was so important that she'd—

How could—

—she kill herself like that?

[He calms himself after a few moments, but it's not exactly a true calmness. There's anger broiling underneath.]

Damn, they must really hate us.

[wolfstrike]

Yeah. She said everyone would pay for killing Malicant.

[So yeah it's pretty clear they hate them. And they're not fooling around either.]

[strokeofgenis]

Yeah, that's what someone else was saying too, I've heard.

[For a moment, Genis is actually kind of quiet, almost hesitant to say anything more.]

If Malicant were so horrible, why would anyone have followed him in the first place? What is it that they actually want?

[wolfstrike]

Beats me. Why does anyone follow a crazy bastard bent on destroying the world?

[If Yuri sounds like he's speaking from experience, it's because he is.]

[strokeofgenis]

Probably because they're crazy themselves. Or because they're probably just trying to save their own lives.

[Genis sounds rather huffy and puffy to that too, equally from experience.]

[wolfstrike]

Exactly. And when you have desperate people, they're bound to do anything. Even if it means hurting others.
