The Great Detective is Bored

[intellectualrapist]

[A worried and restless kitten has decided to try expending her energy. Well, she doesn't have that much laying around but Erika hates being idle. Since she can't do a lot, though, she settles for stretches and flopping around. Technically, she's still in bed, so Zelos can't really be mad at her or anything.]

NAKAMAAAAAAAAAAA

[After intense debate - a word which here means 'a lot of whining and pouting' - Erika got Zelos's permission to go talk to Willard. The only conditions were that Zelos be allowed to wait nearby and no fighting. Both very reasonable requests, really, considering the state Erika was left in after the last talk.

Right now, she has a theory. Will's been in a bad state and probably by this point doesn't even know what day it is or what events are going on. Probably he was at fault for the whole Dagon thing but that's not so surprising. More surprising is that it happened. And Mikado wants to talk to Will about it, meaning who knows what could happen, but Erika wants to check Will's mood first.

So Zelos gets to wait with some church ladies while Erika heads Will off. If she's right, he probably still was thinking he had to show up at Dagon at some point to check on her, too. Or he's just really out of it and who knows but either way, given everything that happened and Will's status, she figures her guess is spot on when she catches Will heading out.]

Willard, you're looking splendid as ever.

OHHH BABY I LOVE YOUR WAYYY EVERY DAAAAAY GONNA GIVE YOU MY NIGHT AND DAYYY etc.

[Last time he looked, it was Sunday at 9:37. He needed to be out by Monday to speak with Erika. Back home by Monday night to prevent Lion from freaking out. Apparently it is now Tuesday, as Erika so kindly informed him, and then one of those weird heartfelt discussions happened and it was a lot stupider than it sounds.

It means rather than leaving the discussion filled with feels, one leaves with a half-dead spirit and the newfound knowledge that human blood entering an angel's bloodstream means acute hemolytic reactions. A lesson has been learned for science and everything sucked.

And after that's over... then what? Your choices: Go back to the house and get scolded by Lion? Go back to the Church and get stuck in meetings until somewhen? Go back to the office and resume killing yourself under your own responsibilities?

The proper answer is walk into a coffee shop, despite looking like a walking heart attack covered in blood stains, get the largest size, then wander to the closest monument of your latest failure. Right now, that would be one of the burnt-down Dagon churches. Sitting on the stairs, back slumped against the wall, watching his hand shake with one hand and sipping his coffee with the other.

But hey, no people around. No people is a good thing. It means no people bugging him with more work and unneeded apologies and 'oh why is there a bleeding catholic at the burnt Dagon place OH SCANDAL'.

If taking a break from everything is irresponsible, he'll be irresponsible for ten God-forsaken minutes.



Maybe fifteen.]
