"mr Todo what do you?--"
Xavier asks confused
"Our Saviour here is actually quite the popular guy you know."
Todo shouts excited to the room laughing
"Ahem.. Ahem… Ladies and gentlemen can I have your attention please."
Todo clears his throat shouting!!!
"Drum roll please."
He says smugly
"Ladies and gentlemen of the cells I give you!!!--"
He shouts!!!!
"The Legendary Genius of The Six himself….."
He shouts
"Jeeeeeeeeeremy…."
"BLANCHE!!!!"
Todo shouts gesturing to Jeremy!!!!
"T-THE SIX?!?!"
Keith thinks quickly turning his head to Jeremy!!!!!
"…"
"Hmph."
Jeremy smirks
"…"
"Argh!!! Arghhh!!!!"
"I surrender! I surrender!!"
Keith shouts immediately after Todo's announcement!!!!
"Oh…"
(smokes)
"Is that right?"
Jeremy says mockingly to Keith
"…."
"T-the six??"
Xavier mumbles
"Pfft- HAHA..."
"HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA"
Todo breaks into laughter
"Mr. Todo?"
Xavier calls still puzzled and facing Todo's cell
However, Todo does not respond instead continuing to laugh
"AHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHA!!!!!!"
He laughs
"Hey kid what's with your family ehy?"
He says in between laughs
"What--"
"I knew there was something special about you but geez."
Todo says
"The Genius of the Six Blades huh?"
Todo says triumphantly
"The fabled marksman himself."
"Right here in front of me."
He says proudly
"'Jeremy Blanche'."
He's says with a big grin on his face staring at Jeremy
(smokes)
"…"
"Oh?"
"Looks like I have a fan."
Jeremy says calmly
"Fan?"
Todo responds comically teeming with excitement
"You wish you psycho!"
"Hahahahaha!!!"
He laughs
"But there's no denying how famous you guys are."
Todo says
"Granted it's for all the wrong reasons…"
He says smirking
"Mr Genius."
He says
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"Is that so?"
Jeremy responds softly.
"Ofcourse."
Todo responds sharply
"There isn't a single person alive in the three continents who doesn't know of The Six Blades."
Todo says smirking
"Well… minus the tadpoles that is…"
He says smirking looking over to Xavier
"But am guessing that's with reason."
Todo says scratching his head awkwardly
Recalling all the events Xavier told him led him to his current predicament.
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"Hm…"
Jeremy thinks
"I see our reputations precede us even to this day."
He says softly
"However…"
He pauses
"As far as I'm concerned there shouldn't be any proper descriptions of what we actually look like to the public."
He says stiffly and seriously!!
(smokes)
"So do tell jail fan..."
He says smoking and facing to the ceiling
"Just how exactly do you know who I am."
Jeremy asks menacingly staring daggers into Todo!!!
sssshhhhhhhhIIIIINNNNGGG!!!!!!
The tattoos marking his body beginning to burn bright as he tightens his grip on Keith.
"ACK!!!"
Keith yelps from the pain
"Eh???"
Todo exclaims caught off-guard.
"I'll ask again."
Jeremy says coldly
"M-Mr Todo…"
Xavier thinks worried noticing the change in Jeremy's demeanour
"How do you know who I am."
He says sternly tightening the grip again on Keith!
"ACK! ACK!! HEY!!!!"
"…"
Keith squirms in pain
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"A-are you kidding me?"
Todo says anxiously
"Is that aside from the obvious blonde hair and the dumb naming scheme of the Blanche household?"
He asks sarcastically
"There aren't many people in the world than can project over 40% you know."
He says smirking anxiously at Jeremy
"Di-Did he just say 40?!?!!"
Keith quivers at the thought.
"So he could tell how high my projection was without a 'Nokat' huh?"
Jeremy thinks to himself
("TAT!")
("TAT!!")
("TAT!!!!")
Jeremy's boots echo the room as he starts for Xavier's cell!!!!
"Arghh… Ack!!! HEY! Hey not so rough!!!"
Keith exclaims as he is pulled along.
Pretty much just floating in the air. (._.)
"over 40??"
Xavier thinks to himself watching Jeremy draw near
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"Open it."
Jeremy commands, squishing Keith's face against the cell door.
"ACK!!"
"Ye-yes sir!!!"
Keith responds in awkward fashion
"Arghh…"
"Let's just get this over with."
He thinks scrambling away with one arm for keys in his pockets.
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"So…"
(smokes)
Jeremy begins
"You a (souls) user?"
Jeremy asks his demeanour much humbler.
"Aaah!!!"
Todo exclaims awkwardly at the sudden shift
"Jeez, this guy just doesn't let up."
He thinks in a panic as a cold shiver runs down his spine…
"Can't say it's not enjoyable though."
He thinks smirking anxiously
"Can't say I am sadly."
Todo responds
"Never had the time for it."
He says.
(smokes)
"Well that's interesting…"
Jeremy says softly staring at the ceiling
"aaah.. am sorry what is?"
Todo asks
"My (souls)."
Jeremy responds immediately
"As far as I'm aware there shouldn't be any way to tell how high someone's projection is without a 'Nokat'."
He says blankly to Todo who is immediately spooked
"Unless…"
He says, his eyes meeting Todo's in an intense glare
"AH--"
Todo exclaims uneasy
"…"
"W-well it's not every day you see someone break the sound barrier..."
"Aha-ahahaha…"
He says unconvincingly laughing to Jeremy whose gaze only sharpens
"So I just…"
"Guessed?"
Todo says awkwardly
"…"
(smokes)
"… I see."
Jeremy says low and blunt
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"Not a bad guess."
Jeremy says with a mild smile
"…aaaah…thanks?"
Todo responds awkwardly
"…"
-silence-
"…"
(smokes)
"All things considered you should try gambling."
Jeremy says.
"Might do better than someone I used to know."
He says
"EH…"
Todo exclaims
"N-no thanks."
He says blankly
"That's what got me in here in the first place."
He says bowing.
"EH… hahahaa."
Jeremy laughs softly as Xavier watches satisfied with easing of the tension
"…"
"Hey you! What's taking so long."
Jeremy shouts shaking Keith.
"Ah well you see si-sir I just realized I don't have the keys for the cells haha…haaaa."
Keith responds cowardly smiling and scratching his
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"Well why didn't you say so?"
Jeremy says tightening his grip on Keith's arm
"eh."
"Move."
("!!!")
He says flinging Keith to the wall!!!!
!!!!!BAM!!!!!!
"Arggh!!!!"
Keith exclaims in pain!!!!
"Whoa…"
Xavier exclaims subconsciously in awe of Jeremy's strength
"huh…"
He exclaims when he realizes he made a sound
"Xavi…"
Jeremy says drawing Xavier's attention once more
"Won't be long now okay."
He says
"Uncle Jerry…"
Xavier responds sombrely
"Step back."
Jeremy says.
… ("Bzzt!") …
The tattoos on Jeremy's body begin to burn brighter as he grips the door with one arm!!!
"Tch. i can't believe one of The Six actually is here right now."
Keith thinks to himself frustrated from the ground staring daggers at Jeremy
"…"
"I'm out of my league here."
He thinks
"I could've used Sir Ellsworth's 'Silverbacks' to get away by now but I can already imagine how mad he'd be if they end up dead."
He thinks.
"Still though."
"…"
"Just who exactly is the little rant."
Keith thinks
"First the weird 'bloodline traits''..."
"Then the absurd price tag and way bro found him..."
"And now one of The Six is here to rescue him??"
He thinks
"It doesn't make sense at all!!!"
Keith thinks
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"No."
"That's not what's important right now."
He thinks
"First things first I need to make sure I come out of this alive."
He thinks
"I doubt any one of those six monsters keep prisoners..."
He thinks
"Probably even less so for those who might've held their family members captive."
He thinks
"But how the hell do you get away from a literal God anyway…"
He thinks frustrated
"…"
"…"
"oh…."
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The cell door flies off its hinges!!!!
"wow…"
Xavier says under his breath
("CLANK!!!!")
It hits the floor!
"Come on its time to go Xavi."
Jeremy says reaching out a hand
"Ah…"
Xavier exclaims reflexively reaching out his hand.
"Am free??"
He thinks.
"I'm free!!"
He thinks
"…"
"J-Just like that?"
He thinks
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"Should I be free…."
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"All these months in here."
("…")
"All…"
("…")
"All the pain.
("…")
"Everything I've had to go through…"
("…")
"I haven't changed at all have i?"
Xavier thinks…
"At the end of the day I still need someone to save me."
He thinks
"Again…"
He thinks
"Why…"
("…")
"Why do I keep putting everyone I care about in danger?"
("…")
"How can one person be so selfish?"
("…")
"Why…"
("…")
"Why can't I be stronger…"
Xavier thinks as his will drops.
With it, his reached out hand in reaction…
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"maybe I don't deserve to be free."
He thinks
"I mean I'll just end up putting everyone in trouble again anyway…"
He thinks
"yeah…"
"maybe it's better if I just stay here."
He thinks
"maybe then everyone…"
He thinks
"everyone can be safe…"
He thinks his hand dropping slow….
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"yeah"
("…")
"this is for the best."
He thinks pulling away…
"…"
-silence-
"…"
But just as it is about to fall completely…
Xavier is yanked by the hand by Jeremy and hugged tight!!!
("!!!")
"Ah.."
"Un--"
"Everything's fine now Xavi."
Jeremy says sombrely holding him close
"…"
"Everything's fine…"
He says
"So you don't…"
"You don't have to blame yourself anymore."
He says gripping him tighter
"Uncl--"
"…."
Xavier pauses as tears rush his eyes once more
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"right."
He mumbles holding onto him too
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"yeah…"
Xavier thinks
"Its fine…"
Xavier thinks
"Everything's going to be fine now…"
He thinks warmly holding Jeremy tighter…
"…"
-silence-
"…"
"Well then."
"It's about time we--"
("SHWICK!!!!!!!")
"Argh…."
Jeremy groans as a sharp pain hits his lower back!!!!
"huh?…"
Xavier exclaims confused looking up at him
"Uncle--"
"You!"
Jeremy says angrily cutting Xavier off!!!
"Just what do you think you're doing."
He says intensely.
Glaring behind him to Keith who holds a knife wedged into Jeremy's side!!!!!
"Ah…."
"…"
"…"
