[Hey, they'd probably know each other in handwavey AU land where all divine forces are meshed, or something. He spots you in a bar and you don't really get a greeting.]

Not done searching yet?

[machina_sub_deus]

[I'm pretty sure that AU exists, and is called "Umineko canon".]

Do you even have to ask?

[buttsinattheend]

[Oh right]

It's just that every time we part ways, I hope not to see you again.

[He means that in a good way, of course. His way of saying "tough luck, bro."]

[machina_sub_deus]

I've been searching for a fair while, and I suspect I'll be searching for a fair while yet. God doesn't take a personal hand in that which is easily done.

[buttsinattheend]

...I don't envy you. I've seen what a thousand years can do to a person. To you, that must be nothing.

[machina_sub_deus]

And what about you? Still searching for your own truths?

[buttsinattheend]

Depends on what you define as a search. I resigned a while back.

...If I told you of all people I've become disillusioned with Heaven, I couldn't complain if you laughed in my face. So let's just say I had an epiphany about the way the SSVD works.

[machina_sub_deus]

Those things which people call sacred are usually just misunderstood. Admiration is a far cry from understanding.

[buttsinattheend]

Understanding is a good way to put it. The Inquisition doesn't care who or what it understands. All they want is to ruthlessly sort out the guilty from the innocent as quickly as possible, with no regard for motive or the falsely occused.

It's a broken system. Solving a crime without understanding the heart of it isn't justice or mystery. It's blind, reactionary revenge.

...But that's not your racket, is it. What's new with you? Assuming you consider anything "new."

[machina_sub_deus]

There's always something new, but it's always the same. There's a new Fulfiller I should be investigating.

[buttsinattheend]

Any harm in my coming along? It's not like I'm busy these days.

[machina_sub_deus]

If you're looking for an exciting resolution to my tale, you won't find it. I doubt this one's going to amount to much.

[buttsinattheend]

I'm looking more for some company, for both of us.

[He'd also argue with T.O.E. treating an extremely low chance like it's the same as zero, but, well, there's a time and a place and an audience for lectures about hope. Even Will doesn't have that much raw audacity to throw around.]
