LOCKED to Calum/Josiah

Hey Calum.

Got a question for you.

And I may have an answer, Miss Aya.

[ryuuzoku-aya.livejournal.com]

Do you want a body of your own, out of curiosity?

[menocrede.livejournal.com]

Well I suppose that would depend on the consequences. At the moment, my chances of staying alive - so to speak - are slightly greater if I stay this way.

[ryuuzoku-aya.livejournal.com]

Only slightly, I've already seen some of the Refugees consider just killing you outright lately.

Let me put it this way: my stance on your activities is on a fast road to Apathyville. I would be willing to arrange for you to have a body-a stronger, better one-if you would give up Josiah.

[menocrede.livejournal.com]

I would honestly like to see them try - the way you Refugees have argued about morals in the past, I doubt that any of you actually could.

Your change of opinion means one less thing to be bothered about, Miss Aya.

Besides, it may already be too late for that.

[ryuuzoku-aya.livejournal.com]

You never know. One day someone may just turn around and surprise you, but looking at these people lately...

My change in opinion also means that I would be willing to help you out in this one thing provided you can promise me Josiah in return. Let's not write off the possibility, especially since the both of us can benefit from it?

[menocrede.livejournal.com]

I believe I've had enough surprises in my lifetime, Miss Aya.

Why does the boy matter so much to you? Or is it more of an inconvenience, this soul-swapping of sorts?

[ryuuzoku-aya.livejournal.com]

Well, two things really. First of all, he's one of the few people I consider a friend out of this bunch.

Secondly, when considering it from both of your perspectives, sharing a body must be a total pain in the ass, especially when one of you guys needs some "me time."

[menocrede.livejournal.com]

Interesting.

And how do you attempt to go about doing this?

[ryuuzoku-aya.livejournal.com]

I'd get a vessel made, soul transfer, and boom.

I know some people and things that could accomplish this. With the Star Market approaching, I'd probably be able to easily get the components I need in one fell swoop.

[menocrede.livejournal.com]

Hardly anything is that simple.

I admire your willingness, but I must refuse your offer. Continue along towards your apathy, but this is something that cannot be undone.

[ryuuzoku-aya.livejournal.com]

Why do you think it can't? Forgive me if I don't believe you, but I'd like to hear that admission from Josiah's mouth. Or fingers as it were.

[menocrede.livejournal.com]

There are... consequences, as it were, as there are with anything.

[ryuuzoku-aya.livejournal.com]

Well of course there are consequences. Care to enlighten me a little about this?

[menocrede.livejournal.com]

In this case, all you need to know is that the boy made a deal with me that cannot be changed.

[ryuuzoku-aya.livejournal.com]

Need to know, maybe. Like to know? Well, since he's a friend, I'd kind of like to know what that deal was.

[menocrede.livejournal.com]

And perhaps one day you will find out.

[ryuuzoku-aya.livejournal.com]

Can that day be the day of the Star Market?

[menocrede.livejournal.com]

What makes you think I have any interest in going to that?

[ryuuzoku-aya.livejournal.com]

Because it's neutral ground you can get away with taunting people in person on.

[menocrede.livejournal.com]

We'll see, Miss Aya. We'll see.
