Array 150 // Voice

[For anyone listening who knows, that's the familiar roar of the Zoomer -- Al's bike-like hovering contraption. The one he's had for the past few years. But something sounds a bit off about the engine, even to the untrained ear. It keeps fading in and out, sputtering.]

Oh no, nonono-, come on-

[The engine roars back to life, but then sputters ( Read more... )

unintentional mindfuck, a special kind of fail, maybe the armor wasn't so bad after all, took a tumble, adeat motherfucker, halp, bracing for the yelling, he's used to this really, well that's just great

[Oh no, no no no. He doesn't even catch the post - the moment he feels that rush of magic that signals Al using his Artifact, he's off, tracking down that energy signal on his staff.]

[And Negi will be the lucky one to find where he's landed. Somewhere in the school.

And then... guess.]

[... oh Rachel is going to be so pissed.]

... Al? Are you okay?

[Good lord the Zoomer looks awful.]

[The Zoomer is currently in the orchestra pit. And Al in on the stage, in the center of what's best called a crater of broken glass and cracked wood.

If he hadn't been wearing the armor, he'd certainly be dead.]

I don't think anything's broken.

[That's a relief. Buildings and things can be rebuilt. And even though people come back from the dead here... the memories or abilities they lose cannot be replaced.

He moves over to Al, picking his way over debris, and proceeds to check Al's neck.]

Does anything hurt? Anywhere where I'm pressing?

[Al half-shuts his eyes but gives Negi a sheepish smile.]

It aches a bit, but not that bad. I don't want to know what I'll feel like in the morning though.

[Negi hesitates a moment... and then wraps his arms around Al, chin resting on his shoulder.]

I'm so glad we made that Pactio...

[Al holds him back, strong and with a very fine trembling in his arms. That really did spook him.]

Me too. Me too.

I thought there'd been a stray zombie or something when I felt that.

[He backs up, looking Al over for a moment, scanning for anything obvious. Upon finding nothing, he leans forward, pressing his lips to Al's temple.]

If you're hurting in the morning, let me know and I'll try to heal what hurts the best I can.

I'm sorry I scared you. Thanks-

[Al beams up at him. The floor is just lovely, really.]

Careful, lots of broken glass-

Will you help me up, please?

Ah, sure--

[Here, Al, take his hand.]

... this is an impressive amount of damage. I... don't suppose there's a way to rebuild the Zoomer, huh.

[Al stares at the catwalk, where part of it is-

... and then down into the orchestra pit, where the other part is.]

Not without Dax, no way. I don't think even Winry could save this.

... well, it certainly had a good run of it.

At least I still have my staff, if we need to fly somewhere?

There is that. [He laughs, a little helplessly.]

... a lot of good memories.

... yeah.

I still remember riding back home with you after our first spar.

You were so black and blue-

[Laughing a little. Oh, that hurts his ribs.]
