Cass(per) the Unfriendly Ghost - By the Giant Red stiletto, 6:20AM, Nexus Time.

[clockwork_phoenix]

There was something to be said about being prompt, and early.

That it was incredibly frigging annoying. That's what.

Annabella Fennix paces back and forth in front of the bench near the giant stiletto-shoe.

She stops, and faces the bench, "Oh, Hallo Luc. I saw the ghost of your country's worst enemy ever."

A beat and a half, several ticks of clockwork.

Then a frustrated sound, running her left hand through her hair, "Oh. No. Sweet Lightning and Daughter of Thunder no, not like that."

She turns to the bench again. "Hallo General Marc! Bella here--"

"No." Geh, "Mein Gott no."

About Six-twenty-five, and three attempts later she simply resigns herself to pacing back and fourth.

This was not going to be easy to tell.

Not at all.

"It has to be a partially a Nexus thing. Executed criminals' families have buried apples for them without dramatic results before. Of course, for Cass..." Luc just looks pained. "Dioscuri, I hope it wasn't the General." Luc really, really doesn't want to have to tell him about this as it is.

"Believe me, I was hesitant about telling you in the first place." Bella runs her left hand through her hair again. "And I am guessing it was a Nexus effect of some kind, at this point."

"Either way, he's gone now, even after screaming that it wasn't fair when he was forcibly sent away by the Doctor's device."

"I felt it was something that you should know, despite how upsetting it probably is."

Ngh. Downright unnerving, he was.

Luc kinda-smiles grimly. "Yes. Because the universe has unfairly conspired against Cass since we were 14 years old. Certainly it was never the necessary consequences of his own actions. I'll...have to offer the Doctor our thanks. And...thank you, Bella."

She nods, "I'll be sure to do so."

"And, if there's anything else I can do, you can feel free to let me know." She kinda half-grins.

"Did he cause any trouble besides...Cassness as a whole?"

"Aside from being incredibly unnerving and cheerfully announcing what he attempted to do in the Sanctuary--including wondering how you were doing," Bella quickly puts two and two together regarding Luc's arm, but doesn't say anything about this realization. "He got under our skin and was generally extraordinarily chatty and smiley, but otherwise, he didn't actually cause any physical trouble."

"Good to know, thank you."

[gears-of-gold.livejournal.com]

She nods, and stands, "It's not a problem, and I hope I didn't upset things too much on your end.

[aureliaofarista.livejournal.com]

"No, it's...It's a little hard to be dealing with Cass and not having to go into emergency mode. But some moment of sentimental weakness combined with Nexus nonsense isn't worth a quarantine or anything, don't worry." Another really week smile.

He stands too. "I need to go report." Look of pain there. "Thank you again."

"Good Luck, Luc, I have a feeling you'll need it." She nods, and if he doesn't stop her, she's going to head off now.

Probably off to do something similar to target practice, while imagining she's shooting Cass. Smarmy creepy sonnofa..
