Ikuto! Find me the Embryo!

[His stepfather's voice echoed out of nowhere, and the strings attached to Ikuto jerked him upright, like a puppet. They puled him forward, through the dark mist that had settled everywhere throughout the dream. Occasionally, it seemed as though other people were standing in the darkness--his father, his mother, his ( Read more... )

[a long pause]

Yoru left the City. He left me behind...

[another pause]

Does it even matter anymore? After all this time, after everyone I've seen leave without knowing if they'll come back... Even--

[A sigh, and then more silence.]

I give up. You win, City.

((OOC: Affected by sloth, specifically apathy.))

[There is a picture of a broken fortune cookie and a small white slip of paper that is facing upwards so that the text is easy to read. It says:]

You will lose someone close to you. 13 1 12

If anyone finds a violin with a key attached to the case, I'd like it back.

[A loud SLAP comes through the audio feed as he hits one of the bugs with a flyswatter]

Ikuto, look! I caught one, nya!

Good for you, Yoru.

This curse is... different. [Am I affected? I don't know if I want people hearing my thoughts.]

[But... this is a pretty good opportunity if I can read her thoughts too...]

What do you think about this, Amu?

((OOC: Brackets are thoughts and viewable to everyone.))

[Audio]

[sloshing water]

As interesting as this is, it's boring not being able to see anything. Is this supposed to be scary?

[more soft splashing sounds, and then the soft thump of something hitting against the boat]
