Voice/Action for House 48 - 003

Dec 26, 2011 21:25

[Kazuma was just reading a book in his room, when he heard a loud wailing from the other side of his door. It certainly gave him quite a fright and it sounded like...Tao? His journal picked up their conversation as he went to investigate]

Tao? What's wrong?

Boo-meow...Litchi is...is g-go...Tao can't say it!!

What?

[Tao's words were incoherent, covered ( Read more... )

[A pained sob breaks the silence of the journal feed for a moment.

Litchi. Litchi. One of his closest friends... someone he's known for almost the entire year he was at Luceti.

So gentle. So intelligent. So kind...

... And he never got the chance to learn more about her. He never got the chance to... understand who she was.

Gods, he regrets not doing more when he had the chance. He regrets...]

I... I... I u-understand...

[The words are a harsh, pained effort, and Robert has to pause to breathe again, before he continues. He doesn't even have Don right now, to dull the pain by sobbing into his plastron.

He just wrings his fingers against his chest and stares into the suddenly-foreboding dark shadows of his room.]

... Th-thank you for... i-informing us.

[... Who else is next?]

[...Kazuma can hear Robert having a difficult time taking in the news on his end. For a while he's quiet himself, thinking. He's only been with her for a short time, he can only imagine how others who knew her longer must be feeling.]

I'm sorry. There was...nothing we could have done.

[Voice] semper_cogitans December 28 2011, 09:35:24 UTC

[Robert doesn't blame Kazuma, not in the least. It's nobody's fault. It might not even be the Malnosso's fault, if what they say has any truth at all.

Litchi wouldn't have blamed them.

... But he hates this. He hates how quickly such a close, important friend was wrested from him. Gone, possibly forever. He... he doesn't even know what to do. And what if she returns, but... doesn't remember anymore...?]

I... I kn-know. Please do not... b-blame yourselves.

I just... [Small, sad:] She... she w-was a... a close friend, and I... [... He can't finish that, because his voice breaks.]

[...]

She was...a good friend to all of us. [And maybe she meant a little more than that to Kazuma...a mother-like figure]

I know we've only just met but...if there's anything--or...well, I guess nothing can make this any better...but you're welcome to come by if you want someone to have a conversation with.

[In a way, she was a sister-like figure to Robert - one he would honestly have liked to have, if Terran families often had multiple children to begin with.

Robert exhales shakily at this, and nods slowly despite Kazuma being unable to see it.]

... Th-thank you...

...

M-May I... ask your n-name...?

calm_emerald December 29 2011, 08:15:14 UTC

It's...Kazuma Kval. And yourself...?

semper_cogitans December 29 2011, 08:54:11 UTC

... My name is... P-Professor Robert Alexander Hastings.

[How many times has he said that the exact same way...?]

... I... I am sorry we had to... m-meet in such unpleasant... circumstances...

calm_emerald December 29 2011, 17:42:47 UTC

[A professor...?] It's...all right, Professor. [He's a little curious now, but this was probably not the best time to be asking questions.]

I'm sure Miss Litchi would say something like this, but even if she's no longer here, any friend of hers is always welcomed here at House 48.
