Don't make me turn this car around
Who: Xerxes Break, Oz Vessalius, Reim Lunettes, and eventually Gilbert Nightray
When: October 17th, 5 AM
Where: Phancyhive, and then enroute to Funtom
Summary: After Gilbert Nightray is attacked by Xigbar's creature, the seals on Oz's and Break's Chains come undone. And every rescue mission needs a getaway car.
Warnings: Back seat driving
The most important thing, Break tells himself, as he hurriedly pulls on his boots, is to check on Oz, particularly after what had happened two days ago. Has the seal on his incuse advanced, is he all right? The second thing is (now drawing on his coat, and snatching up his cane) --
Break's plan is to speak to Oz and then head out by himself, into the Darkness. This is his plan, it's his usual plan, it's the sort of plan he's been making for years…
Which… is… actually enough to make Break hesitate, even as he is sweeping down the hallway towards Oz's room. Gilbert is in danger, that much is clear; he's crippled, from bearing the burden of two seals. If Break does things his own way, he might find Gilbert too late - and bring too little, besides. Anything strong enough to hurt Gilbert might be too much for him, even with Hatter.
He stops. It goes against every instinct; but there's no better alternative, none he can fathom. He makes a fist and… is he really going to do this? Is he really going to knock on Reim's bedroom door?
No.
He's not going to knock. He's going to throw his shoulder against the door and force it open, damn everything. He can't do this alone.
"Reim! Reim! Get up! Wake up right now!"
