  • written before we got more information on blackrock so there's a lottttt of stuff that just will not be accurate. we ball

  Summary

  Following his conversation with Umbrella, Zuka hops on a train to leave Blackrock, as he planned to in the first place. He does probably too much thinking and also briefly runs into the least bothersome of the Swords (somehow) along the way.

  or;

  a short interlude, because I realized I needed to clarify a few things and got way too ahead of myself doing it

  Summary

  When there's an unexpected leadership change in the Blackrock inter-faction ambassador initiative, Umbrella is sent to find the previous chairman, B. Zuka, and get some answers out of him. They do find their answers, but they're not particularly happy about them. They're not happy about any of this, really.

  or;

  I took the one question from Hyperlaser's last spawnday QnA and ran with it, and also dragged in my favorite rarepair for fun.
