IC Contact Post - Scorched

[justice_is_blond]

[It clicks on and there's a pause.]

And now... Hello? I'm assuming you're trying to reach me. By the Forge. So you talk now, or not now, you talk when I'm done talking, and then I'll get the message and I'll respond as quickly as possible.

[There's another pause.]

Oh! Anders. I'm Anders. You have reached Anders, please leave a message for me.

[There's another click as the message ends.]

Hey, Anders? About those fireworks. I made a couple. They're pretty small, but if you want to come out and see them... [He trails off, then says,] Well, whenever you're free.

[voice]

[justice_is_blond]

I... [There's a short pause.] I'd like that. Please. And I'm... I'm free. Where should I come?

[ voice ] after talking to Griffith

[barebacking]

Anders, Justice.

I'm sorry. I expected the feelings to come back naturally... that you would love me as I love you. But that is wrong, isn't it? I am being impatient and cruel to your heart. Anders, your heart still is Hawke's and I would not take it from you. But I wish to ask for your permission to court Justice... he does reside in your body and seems only right to ask... to allow myself the opportunity to have us get to know one another and return to the closeness that we had once before.

Thank you... my dearest friends.

[There's a bit of time between him receiving the message and answering, mostly because Anders sat and stared at the Forge for a time, then went for a walk, then stared at the Forge again.]

I...

[He still doesn't have an answer.]

I don't think Justice can love, Yaha. He's a spirit. He doesn't... I mean, he's Justice, not Love or Compassion or something like that.

But...

[He'd feel horrible if he didn't have a chance to speak to Hawke for some reason, if Hawke was with someone else. Anders doesn't like this at all, but he doesn't want to be unfair. Despite the creepy vibes he gets form Yaha.]

You can try. I mean, I don't see... All right.

Um, Justice. I thought long and hard what it is that I should do to make you happy. I thought about it... and I came to the conclusion... would you like an army? Disciples? Those that would be willing to do what you wish when you awaken? To ensure your dream comes true? I thought that would be something that you like... those that would ensure that all that you want to happen will. What do you think? Do you like my idea? Do you approve?

voicemail. (forgive me. I'm not good with Justice's voice)

[justice_is_blond]

An army needs a cause, and I have yet to find one here. There is injustice, but there is no set order to work against. Though the idea of many dedicated to the cause of justice has appeal, if it is of their own free will.

[...what was that voice mail message even.]

[No, never mind. It's not important.]

Anders, I'm afraid I must request your presence at the Order headquarters tonight. It's a bit of an urgent matter.

[justice_is_blond]

[Medieval man meets machine, basically.]

All right. I'm on my way. What's going on?

TO MY LORD, THE MOST REVEREND AND DIVINELY LOVED SPIRIT, THE GODS GRANT PEACE AND VIRTUE UPON YOU MOST OF ALL.

TO HIS BODY, NAY FRIEND, TO HIS CHERISHED COMPANION, NAY BROTHER, HIS VESSEL, NAY GUARDIAN, HIS CONSCIENCE AND SOUL: to ANDERS.

I wish you well, Justice and Anders. I write this now in hopes that there can be amends to what has happened between us. Words and actions spilled upon the ground and air that cannot easily be taken back. Stating but madness to blame is granting too easily a kindness and forgiveness. It is but an excuse to curse these lips and writings, so I shall mention it but in passing. I wish for you now to see before us the chance to start anew with the coming of winter that will freeze the actions of the past and have them remain forgotten. The actions will rot beneath the snow and turn to nothing come to spring. I hope that my meaning is understood and that you will grant me this one wish, even though I have wished much upon you and found them granted more often than naught. This is all that I have the ability to spare but know more rests in my heart, but it is being strangled with guilt and regret. So allow these words to be the start.

Farewell, my all.

[justice_is_blond]

First of all, don't think I didn't notice you put body there first. And vessel. That says a lot that I should have noticed before.

[He sounds displeased.]

I'm not forgetting what you did. You trapped me, kept me there, even though I was saying no. That's wrong. Utterly, completely wrong. And then you were pleased when you were able to start... start... no. No, Yaha.

Your meaning is that you don't want consequences for your actions, but you didn't care that I said no, and that's a line that no one should cross.

[barebacking]

It has been a week.

Voice.

[justice_is_blond]

Maker's... And so what? You have something to talk about?

Voicemail.

[barebacking]

Anders...

I... I... want to carve Justice out of you... I think you both would be happy like that... right?

Voice.

[justice_is_blond]

...WHAT? No. No, how could you even start to think... No! You'd kill both of us, and where, exactly would either of us have any gain from it?

That's one of the most stupid ideas I've ever heard. Right up there with "oh if we make all mages Tranquil, we'd have no more problems." So no.

[audio]

[iattractmushi]

[Ginko's voice is filled with exasperated annoyance.]

Does Yaha ever give up?

[audio]

[justice_is_blond]

I keep hoping to find a moment where the answer to that is yes. I have yet to do so. Are you all right?

[Voice] - The day after the kid event ends

[iattractmushi]

...thanks, Anders. For helping me out and... everything.

[Voice] - Three days after (aka, 8th)

[justice_is_blond]

[His voice is on the tired side, but warm nonetheless.]

You're welcome. Thanks for being one of the ones who didn't shoot me or punch me or kick me in the shins.

[oldironsides]

[ahem]

Metal pyjamas are red
Arc reactors are blue
You're not as hot as I am
But I guess you'll have to do.


.... so, you tired of human world holidays yet?

voice

[justice_is_blond]

[Hear that, Tony? It's the sound of a raised eyebrow. And also amusement, but mostly raised eyebrow.]

...Your world has a holiday for bad poetry that calls the recipient not as attractive as the giver and no one thought to tell me?

[Voice]

[dublinbrogue]

[ Its a few days late since he's only just got his forge back.]

Anders bud, are you okay man? I'm back now, if you need or want someone to talk too. You didn't exactly sound like you were okay. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you.

[ Added low before cutting the call off.]

And thanks for carin' man. You're a good friend.

[Voice]

[justice_is_blond]

Hm?

[It dawns on him what this is likely about a few minutes later.]

Right. Sorry. No, it's fine, Doyle. You were... occupied. Obviously. I'm doing better now. It was... It was a bit of a rough evening. But thank you. I'm fine. And you're welcome.

[The fine might be entirely a lie, but Anders is used to giving it.]

Are you at the clinic?

[There is an odd impassive quality to his words: they're not quite monotone, but certainly very controlled.]

Audio

[justice_is_blond]

Hm? Yes, I am.

[He sounds a little curious, but not too much. It's a regular question.]

Audio;

[silverking]

I will continue training with you as per our agreement, but effective immediately, the Order of Erebos will be disbanding.

It has suffered too many losses, and if I am honest, I was never really one for groups.

That said, I won't be leaving you empty handed. With my lieutenant gone, you are the next in line of command, and you've done the most for the Order. I've made copies of the maps of Erebos that I created, and I want you to have them.

[One copy of each map, actually. The originals are being sent to Byakuya, and Anders receives the copies themselves. But Isley isn't telling the mage that he's leaving none for himself. No one needs to know that.]

Audio;

[justice_is_blond]

Ah. All right. ...Thank you, though I'm sorry to hear it's being ended. It's been good, actually, to work with you. Interesting, as well.
