<swordpacts> not long after all the city divided stuff
[A very long pause - Stocke's reluctant to write the rest. It makes too final for his liking.]
i might need to skip out of town for some time
it's getting worse
['It' being... well, he doubts Greed hasn't noticed the way he'd started reacting to some of the Nest's residents: demons, gargoyles, Kimbley. The Sin himself. Flinching first, then tenseness, then a constantly-chained, inadvertent hatred which'd led to avoiding them... there's a reason Stocke's not doing this in person, and it's that he gets closer to snapping every moment he takes.]
[Unlike when he was a demon, a fight to take out his energy on probably isn't going to wind this down. Not until he figures out how to get rid of the parasite latched in him.]
<avaricious> 1/? I'M SO SORRY
[This just happens to be his.]
[Greed takes his time on the other side. With the fog creeping in and that settling itch clawing at his core, Stocke's absence is like a toothache. He doesn't like it, but there's little choice here. The parasite epidemic had taken a back seat and now, oh now, it's all coming to a head.]
[The Sin's teeth nip at the edge of a cigarette.] figure d sss much. dont thnkyu rllywnt to hrea frme so iwnnt bothr wit h the usull. nd bfre you ge t anhy wild ides
it tkkes a lot mor to offnd me, rmember?
<avaricious> 2/3 | PRIVATE
youll sty with hm just don t mkke thing difficult hmn ?
[Stocke won't - he never does. The Sin taps his claws along his keyboard, further delaying the message. It isn't until the cigarette completely ashes out that he finds himself again; the haze of fog lifting for one moment of clarity:]
<avaricious> 3/4 | PRIVATE I FUCKING LIED
ad all i ever wnte
[The message abruptly cuts. As if he sent it without realizing, as if there's a back-track between the strokes. Two minutes go by, five. Then:]
<avaricious> 4/4 | PRIVATE DONE
mak e sur youre bck once we gt thi s figur d out
<swordpacts> [1/3?] DON'T BE SORRY
<swordpacts> [2/3]
take care of yourself, boss
<swordpacts> [3/3]
[He can't be around the Nest for long, maybe. But if they need help in Vandare - especially with the city breaking up, now - Stocke'd like to think he has willpower enough for it.]
doesn't matter how far i am or how long it takes
still one of yours
[Echoed. It's easy to avoid that flinch of hatred, over the network; without sight setting his parasite off Stocke thinks 'Greed,' not 'demon.']
