[There's a very loud and persistent stream of toges at first, followed by a hushing sound, low and soothing.] I know, sweetheart. We will look for them.

Ah, to anyone else who can hear this-- you're probably wondering what is going on and how you ended up here, and while I might not have all the answers, I can try to help you to the best of my ( Read more... )

[ that's... a very familiar and very welcome voice. ]

Cynthia?

voice; battledancing November 19 2011, 22:52:32 UTC

[... that voice. She knew that voice, oh of course she knew that voice, too.]

... Lucian?

voice; justfinished November 19 2011, 22:54:57 UTC

It's me, yes. Where are you?

[ we do not like this situation, where are you so he can make sure you're alright? ]

voice; battledancing November 19 2011, 22:59:32 UTC

[Oh, you're making sure we're all right? WE HAVE BEEN HERE FOR OVER A YEAR, BUT YOU WERE THE ONE WHO PREVIOUSLY SHOWED UP HERE AS A SEVERED HEAD.]

I'm in Latimir-- oh, wait, of course you don't know where that is... [Omg feelings so many feelings how do we deal with feelings without panicking.] Can you switch to video and show me your surroundings? I'll come find you!

voice; i have no idea wtf he is :T justfinished November 19 2011, 23:04:03 UTC

[ well we don't know that 8(! ]

Of course, just a moment. [ he hurriedly searches for a video function and switches it on. Lucian leans in, looking straight into the camera before turning it slowly to his surroundings. ]

Does that help?

[video] just leave it to me B) battledancing November 19 2011, 23:11:51 UTC

I know where that is. [Said with a firm nod. Thankfully he hadn't ended up in any of the other cities or else it would take her hours to get there BUT DAMN ALL HELL IF SHE WOULDN'T DO IT.]

Don't go anywhere unless you have to-- [and by that, she means MONSTERS] --I'll get there as fast as I can. And if you have your Pokemon with you, keep them out of their pokeballs.

[... although Psychic Pokemon would be kind of useless without special abilities OH SHIT OH SHIT NEED TO GO RESCUE BFF RIGHT NOW.]

[video] justfinished November 19 2011, 23:19:54 UTC

Very well. [ he nods, expression serious as its ever been. ]

I'll be on the lookout.

[ and hey, Bronzong is practically a shield! a big metal shield! ]

[video → action] battledancing November 19 2011, 23:24:11 UTC

[Yes, but big metal shield won't be of much help if he's cornered by more than one monster, sob.]

I'm on my way. [And yes, her voice is clearly cracking and she's very much about to shed all the tears ever but THERE'S NO TIME FOR CRYING MUST RESCUE BFF AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT.

... or sound, rather, as she has a Mach Pokemon to get a ride from. And since he wasn't that far, it's only a matter of minutes until she finds him.

And then there are no words.]

[action] justfinished November 19 2011, 23:40:15 UTC

[ his Espeon is curled up in his lap while the rest of his Pokemon stand (or in Bronzong's case, hovers) in a loose circle around him. Lucian himself is scanning the sky with a slight frown, still concerned. Cynthia was strong, he knew that as well as anyone could, but her voice had cracked, and that troubled him.

when she comes in his line of sight he stands and steps forward and waits for her. ]

[action] battledancing November 19 2011, 23:47:02 UTC

[She parts her lips to speak, but no sound comes out-- except for maybe a ragged breath he hopefully couldn't hear. It really was him this time, wasn't it? Yes, it had to be.

And while there was no way to be absolutely sure it wasn't just another illusion, she launches forth in his direction, not even minding the remote possibility that she would end up hugging thin air.

But the impact of her body against his was very much real.]

[action] justfinished November 19 2011, 23:51:28 UTC

[ he stumbles back a couple steps from the force of impact, wrapping his arms around her shoulders and holding her close once he's stable on his feet.

he didn't know why she was crying, but it was clear enough she was hurting, and he couldn't stand seeing someone he cared for in pain. ]

It's alright, Cynthia.

[action] battledancing November 20 2011, 00:03:57 UTC

[Yes, it was all right. She was shaking and crying and still couldn't find her voice, but it was fine. Everything was all right, now that her closest friends --no, her family-- were by her side again, one by one.]

I'm sorry... [She managed to whisper after a long moment, and her apologies probably made no sense to him. At most, he would think she was sorry for having almost knocked him off his feet, which was only part of it.

She knew how much it would hurt him to see her like this, though.]

[action] justfinished November 20 2011, 00:09:11 UTC

[ he gently combs his fingers through her hair, murmuring soothingly that he was fine and so were the others. ]

You have nothing to apologize for.

[action] battledancing November 20 2011, 00:14:54 UTC

[Her immediate response is to tighten her grip on him, nodding in acknowledgment. Sorry, bff, she needs to squeeze the living hell out of you for a moment or several longer.]

I'm so glad to see you... [Making an effort to form coherent thought now.] This place-- I thought you were...

[... yup, major failure. SQUEEZING EVEN HARDER NOW.]

[action] justfinished November 20 2011, 00:36:09 UTC

I'm perfectly healthy now, no matter what you had... thought.

[ he can endure the squeezing as long as he needs to, as long as she needs to hug him. ]

[action] battledancing November 20 2011, 00:43:52 UTC

[Oh, well, we're going to be here for a while, then. NOT LETTING GO EVER.]

I know... [She half pulls away and takes a hand to his face, as though still paranoid he wasn't real.] It's just... a little hard to believe, that's all.
