Yuki signs off the computer and heads toward the door. He decided to leave the bag of blackberries behind. Alcohol was his vice while living, he figured it would be like water now.

He made his way down the dark corridor to the parlor. It amazed him how quiet the halls were.

Upon entering the parlor, he sees its empty. Apparently Gippal hadn't made it down yet. He strolled over to the pool table and picked up a stick, aiming at the Q-Ball ready to shoot.

After a bit of searching, Gippal had finally managed to find the parlor that Yuki had mentioned. It didn't come as a surprise to him that Yuki had arrived first.

"Wait long?" He asked from the doorway, leaning his back against the wall and grinning wolfishly. His one visible eye was glittering deviously.

He was working on clearing the last few balls when he heard someone. Looking up he seen a man oddly dressed. "No. Not at all." he said, returning to his game.

Gippal's grin didn't falter. "Glad to hear it." He pushed away from the wall and walked over to where Yuki stood, leaning foward slightly to inspect his face.

"Huh. Would'ja lookit that? No pyreflies." He lightly passed his hand over Yuki's shoulder. Solid. "There are only two people I know of that could keep their image so solid after death." His voice was breathy and filled with awe.

He looked at him like he was insane. "What? You don't think I'm dead?"

Before Gippal could answer, he put down the stick and pulled off his shirt, revealing his wound to the heart.

"So this Yuna girl. She can make me cross over?"

For a long time, Gippal just stared at the hole. He bit the inside of his cheek, a slender brow knit in deep thought.

"Naw. I believe it." He said finally, leaning back. At his query, he brightened with pride. "Yuna's only failed once, and unless you have an unquenched desire to take over the world, I don't think we'll have that problem."

He shook his head and pulled his shirt on.

"No, I just want to leave this place. I can't stand it here. I know it's no picnic for anyone here, but... It's becoming unbearable."

He picked up his stick and and tossed Gippal from the table next to them. "She's skilled huh? How soon can she do it?"

[dead-electric.livejournal.com]

Gippal took up the stick and shrugged carelessly. "It doesn't take much to be a summoner, but it takes a whole lot to be a damn good one." He winked, though it may as well have been a blink because he only had one eye. "Yuna's the best in Spira. And I'm sure just about as soon as we can find the little lady, she'll perform the sending for you."

He pulled his dented tin flask from the inside of his shirt and held it out for Yuki to take. "Unless you trust the booze here, Al Bhed whiskey 'aint too shabby."

He failed to mention that Al Bhed whiskey also happened to taste like hot, moist sand going down, with an aftertaste that could be related to motor oil.

Yuki took the whiskey and guzzled it. At the moment a bit of the liquid touched his tongue and went down his throat. He immediately started coughing, his eyes bulging from his face.

"Wh... Whaaat i.i.is that?!" he squeeked, holding his throat.

It wasn't nice to laugh, and he knew it wasn't, but Gippal just couldn't help himself. He hadn't seen someone choke on an Al Bhed brew since Baralai's little unfortunate happening upon the stuff.

He clapped Yuki hard on the back a few times, still unable to hide the amusement in his voice. "Damn good, that's what it is! After Home was destroyed, me and a few of the guys went back to the ruins and managed to salvage some parts. You're drinking the whiskey of a dead soldier, mate." He grinned proudly, taking the flask back and taking a steady gulp.

"I can never seem to get away from the dead." he mumbled. He was tired. So tired of this pseudo life, so tired of reliving his murder in his sleep. He seemed to have lost all luster for tormenting Eiri.

He dropped his stick and hopped up on the pool table. He only wanted one thing to come out of this meeting. To be able to be sent away.

"How do you find her? This... Summoner lady?"

[dead-electric.livejournal.com]

"You're that miserable?" Gippal capped his flask and tucked it back into his pocket, coming to sit in a similar fashion on the table. He closed his eye and thought for a moment.

"Honestly, I have no idea where she is. My girl, Rikku, she probably knows where, and I just need to get the information out of her first." He cocked his head and placed both of his palms flat down on his thighs, leaning forward slightly now. He glanced at Yuki briefly.

[yukikitazawa.livejournal.com]

"You relive your murder every night. You see your murderer living. You see a boy being abused by your murderer day in and day out. Tell me how you can live and not be miserable."

Of course, Yuki made it out that he was the victim. He didn't mention a word of what caused his murder, or how he manipulated Shuichi to cause Eiri more pain. No, he just left it as it was.

"What do you want as repayment for helping me?" he said plainly. Sure, they were trapped in the mansion, and repayment was almost as good as pissing in the wind. At least he could offer.

Gippal fell back against the table with his hands behind his head, staring at the ceiling. "Huh. Okay, you're right. I couldn't do it." He closed his eye and breathed deep. Of course he could. He managed to survive after feeling Vegnagun's despair. But it didn't mean he had to be inconsiderate.

"Payment?" Gippal's eye cracked open and he stuck out his tongue playfully. "Sex." He chuckled lightly and waved his hand dismissively. "Nah. I'm kidding." He grunted and sat up, grinning brightly. "I just want to help a suffering soul. That's all."

[yukikitazawa.livejournal.com]

Yuki? Suffering? Not as much as it would appear. He didn't correct him, but hey. If this was his ticket outta here, so be it.

"So, uh. Will you find her for me? I've gotta get going." Yuki lept down and stood in front of Gippal. He leaned in and grinned "Sex isn't a payment, it's pleasure" he grinned, backing away.

[dead-electric.livejournal.com]

Gippal rolled his eyes and smiled at Yuki's comment. "Yeah. I'll get a hold of her as fast as I can. Consider Yuna found and your burdens lifted, precious." He mock-saluted briefly and blew a kiss.

"And I'll keep that last bit in mind." He replied deeply, grinning deviously.

[yukikitazawa.livejournal.com]

He laughed. "You aren't half bad Gippal. Even if you drink motor oil for fun." he waved to him as he walked toward the door.

"Take care Gippal." and with that, he left and moved back to his room.
