Dr. Muraki? I need to speak with you.

There have been some recent developments. Mai woke up, for one. I also think I've aggravated some of my wounds, accidentally. In any case, you wouldn't believe how much I loathe having to say this, but perhaps we should wait one more day. 

Also, I want to talk to you about some other things. Can you meet with me?

I will have to look into my schedule, naturally, but otherwise, I am capable of meeting with you.

Of what matter do you wish to talk about?

{ private ; text } - feel free to pull the wool over his eyes as much as necessary ;D

[forged_anew]

As soon as possible would be good, since I don't want to have to delay the procedure more than necessary. However, I need to explain to Mai what's going on.

Also... what do you know about a person named Hisoka?

It's certainly good to know that your friend has awoken. How is she faring?

Kurosaki Hisoka, isn't it?

He was a patient of mine some time ago. I was called to treat him before his death from a terminal disease.

Mai's doing alright, though she still has to recover quite a bit before she can move around.

A patient of yours who died... Perhaps that explains it. He's not very fond of you.

The powers of science can only amount to much, and his illness had been a terrible one indeed.

I must warn you about him and his kind as well, Mr. Zuko. There is a definite danger that comes to those who would choose to connect themselves with guardians of death.

"Guardians of death"?

{ private ; text }

[freundlichertod.livejournal.com]

The dead who refuse to pass over to the afterlife and instead continue to exist at the expense of the living.

{ private ; text }

[forged_anew]

I don't think I understand your meaning. Are you saying that Hisoka is actually dead, rather than merely having been brought to life by the scientists?

{ private ; text }

[freundlichertod.livejournal.com]

In my world, yes.

I understand such things matter little here with the existence of the chips.

{ private ; text }

[forged_anew]

So he's like Minato... brought back to life here despite having died in his own world.

Or am I missing something? What does he have to do with these "guardians of death" then?

{ private ; text }

[freundlichertod.livejournal.com]

He was alive in our world before arriving here. A guardian of death is as his title implies.

{ private ; text } - omg, he is so confused. D:

[forged_anew]

I'm afraid I still don't quite understand. You said they exist at the expense of the living? How is this so and is he one of them?

Hisoka sent out a public warning about you, by the way.

{ private ; text } :D :D :D

[freundlichertod.livejournal.com]

Kurosaki Hisoka is a guardian of death, yes. And I would not claim to be an expert in the bureaucracy of the afterlife, but from what I know they take the souls of the dead back with them.

End the lives who refuse to go out at their preordained time.

I wasn't aware.

{ private ; text }

[forged_anew]

You mean to say his death was in no way your fault, preordained as it were?

{ private ; text }

[freundlichertod.livejournal.com]

No, Kurosaki Hisoka died of an illness. An unknown degenerative cell disease.

However, if you ask me this question because you think I may just be a guardian of death myself; I am quite alive, thank you. My knowledge of them stems from a patient of mine being entangled with them.

{ private ; text }

[forged_anew]

I see.

I think he blames you anyway though... It seems kind of sad.

Maybe you can tell me more when we meet in person? I may have been...reckless. The doctors have instructed me to remain in bed, so you'll need to come over.

{ private ; text }

[freundlichertod.livejournal.com]

Yes. It would be easier for you as well. Rest easy and keep away from the communicator for now.

Take as much rest as you can at the moment. Stress will only serve to aggravate your condition.

I will visit on an afternoon, when you are awake and I am free, of course.

{ private ; text } - Keep away from the com? Oh, tricksy Muraki. <3

[forged_anew]

"An" afternoon? I don't want to wait any longer than I absolutely must, Muraki.


((OOC: Can you please reply to my comment on the chip removal permission thread that you and Muraki agree to remove Zuko's chip?))

{ private ; text }

[freundlichertod.livejournal.com]

I will try to make it tomorrow. Do not be offended in any way.

Now, you ought to rest. As a doctor, I might be inclined to see the extent of these injuries myself to see how you are doing, indeed.

[ ooc; So I'll just reply to it with a note saying as much? :) ]

{ private ; text }

[forged_anew]

Tomorrow would be good. And you may examine me, of course.

Thank you.


((OOC: Yep! Thankies~ ))
