Day 93
Evening


I do not bother to draw my form back together after I leave the Grindhouse, instead I remain as desert air drifting over the carnival, simply enjoying not being contained in human form for awhile. I did not look for Zann immediately after I left but I know perhaps only a day has past between then and now and the time has come. I search the lot and she is nowhere to be found, so I widen my search to include the town and then…Oohh, there you are.

...I easily spot her, walking quickly down the road with hands stuffed in her pockets and a determined look on her face that makes me spark with excitement, hoping she’s going where I think she is. I watch as she turns down the main street showing no signs of slowing as she passes by shop after shop then after the stables turns right. Oh you sneaky brave little thing, you are going to see him without me, aren’t you.

She reaches the tower and pauses at the entrance, looking it over carefully then taking a deep breath she steps up to the door pausing again. Ooohh this is going to be such wonderful fun. Without out even a slight ripple in the air, I draw my form together behind her as she raises a small fist and knocks on the door.

“Zann, why are you knocking on a water tower?” I ask, cautiously and then gasp taking a quick step back as she jumps in surprise, spinning around to face me.

[open to Zann and Iblis]

Weeknights have gotten really quiet lately, and this Tuesday's no different. So I feed Anti and Kythera, and leave them a handful of walnuts and a coupling that I found in Cain's junkyard, and grab my jacket and head out, north and west and north again, always north. Maybe something wants us here or maybe we're meant to be here and the whole thing about wanting and meaning is, it's done by something with a--a mind. Kind of. An awareness, a singing song, a thing that can see a pattern and want something different, want it to change or come to its end or something.

Feel like I'm waltzing with someone and I'm only hearing a third of the notes, and I can't see their face; feel like I'm trying to fix the gears on a new machine blindfolded, and what I can touch I can handle but I don't know if something's going to come down and crush me. Someone fucking tell me something, okay?

I keep thinking of the first time Hux showed me how an engine worked. I mean... I'm not planning on asking him for any favours or anything--I know what he is even if Lily doesn't, if she doesn't--I just want to... get an idea. Something.

(I brought a present. Kinda. It was so hard finding something that worked besides "Sympathy for the Devil". I was thinking a requiem or something but honestly, all of those are about thank you God have mercy God and it just didn't seem to fit.)

So I'm out at the Tower by moonlight, almost-full moonlight, and it's so damn quiet. I think I saw things or people moving around here when I was further away but they're not here now. Look at the door and I mean, I don't wonder if I really want to do this, I do, but I wonder for a second if it's worth it. Man, Syl is gonna kill me. But I think it could be worth it, really really do, and I knock on the door.

"Zann, why are you knocking on a water tower?" and I swear I fucking levitate right then and there and my heart's going triple-time in my chest, banging like a drum that somebody's trying to burst, and I turn around to see Lily and "what the fuck?! What the fuck are you doing here?" I hiss, one hand pressed to my heart.

"Yeah. Yeah, just got a hit of adrenaline, don't mind me." Jesus she threw me for a loop. Grin a little and manage a smile. "Here same's you, I guess. Came to see Kent. Just... yeah." I shrug and force myself to breathe deep and slow.

"So you've been... what, following me since town?"
