[filtered away from children kidnapped or otherwise, Slenderman, and anyone exploiting the situation]

[two pages are highlighted: #, and then #; the priest's voice is quiet and gentle]

...The entries currently unearthed skip from 23 to 28 with nothing yet in between. The last known plan the previous victims of 'Slenderman' had were to offer up a human... sacrifice. The end result was the safe return of at least one child -- Deema. There's also-- this.

[he shifts, where he's staring at the blood-soaked tree whose line creeps higher and higher every time he blinks -- or maybe it's his imagination. his mind playing tricks on him, at this point, is not at all beyond the scope of the realistic]

Time is... running out.

...I'd much rather them miss me two days than be gone another minute more trapped in that hell.

I understand, and if it comes to a sacrifice then I agree the price is worth it.

But not you, nor anyone else the children will need immediately.

[custodismundi.livejournal.com]

You know I couldn't condone someone else throwing their life away.

[that's why he's a good choice... his life has... well. no value, really, in his eyes. Jyuu already knows that. the only value it possesses has been given to him by other people, not himself. for those kids... he'd gladly give it up]

[thirteenth.livejournal.com]

It won't be your choice.

[custodismundi.livejournal.com]

It would.

I'm standing here, aren't I? [he's not about to let anyone else do this, unless they were better suited by his standards]

[thirteenth.livejournal.com]

I won't let you do this.

[The children didn't deserve to return and have Abel's blood on their hands.]

[custodismundi.livejournal.com]

I don't mean to be insulting, Jyuushiro... but if I made the definitive choice, it would be done long before you could stop me.

[but he hasn't. he's still here. right?]

[thirteenth.livejournal.com]

Perhaps.

But I am hoping you have more sense and respect for the people who care about you - the children included - to do more than speculate on this.

[custodismundi.livejournal.com]

...I have doubts.

As long as I do... I won't be doing anything rash or reckless.

[thirteenth.livejournal.com]

I trust you.

[hn hn hn Jyuu ;; for a sec, he just sort of frowns, a tiny bit]

[custodismundi.livejournal.com]

[...and then deflates a little bit more, and-- shut up you're getting a hug young man.]

Promise me it'll-- all be okay. [he just wants to hear it, even if he can't realistically promise something like that. >:]

[Ah. A little awkwardly, he wraps arms around the currently taller man, patting his back comfortingly.]

As long as we keep fighting, then it will be alright.
