50 (video) - cats

[ The picture just shows a bunch of smallish, hollowed-out, metal balls - things the size of marbles, really - and a pair of delicate little hands handling them and filling them with some sort of thing. Gunpowder, blasting jelly, whatever the hell equivalent Cephiro would have - it's probably obvious what it is. I mean, what else would you be

[Let's pretend this isn't coming to you straight from the hospital from a device she shouldn't be using in the first place.]

...Lantis is missing?

[notsomeloli]

[ Sorry, Umi. Clef doesn't have that good of an imagination. ]

Go back to sleep.

[soulofocean]

You think I can after hearing that? Clef, you know me better than that.

Are you sure he didn't get cursed and something nasty happened to him? Like... my case?

voice; 1/2 - pretending this is before Lantis's thread because that makes it more interesting?

[notsomeloli]

I think that if you think that you're doing anything other than staying put right now, you had better think twice.

[notsomeloli]

[ No, he's not sure that he didn't. And if he did, Clef doesn't know where he is, if he needs help, or whether he's even alive.

... And he doesn't know that anything did happen to him, either.

So, basically, there's no realistic way to know and nothing he can realistically do about it. Clef has decided not to claw at his face in useless panic. ]

... Umi, how do you avoid having an aneurysm just from staying conscious for too many consecutive hours?

voice; 1/2

[soulofocean]

Clef, I slept for a good eight hours. That's A LOT, if you consider how I'm feeling! Don't ask me to be all happy and calm after this weekend keeps getting ever FREAKIER.

I... can't... keep from worrying like you can.

[soulofocean]

...Isn't there a way for you to track him? His Network device? Maybe some spell? Anything?

Umi, I have known Lantis since he was half your age, so if either of us worries about him it should be I. He is one of the more capable swordsmen I have ever met, and, to be quite blunt, I have more confidence in his abilities with magic than in my own. Above all, I know that he is simply too stubborn to die.

If I'm not worrying yet, that should tell you something.

[Forgive her but she's going to zone out on that lecture-rant-thing halfway to its end. Head too dizzy, not to mention she just learned The City delivered once again from somewhere else.

But don't worry, the key point gets across...]

voice; 2/3

[soulofocean]

...You're right. Maybe it's just me, but... I can't help it, Clef. Not when this weekend's been a freaking nightmare for a lot of people I care about.

voice; 3/3

[soulofocean]

Lantis... he should be fine. If anyone can pull his weight that's the strongest swordsman in Cephiro, right?

[Or this is at least what we want to believe. 8|]

[notsomeloli]

I didn't say you aren't allowed to worry, but it isn't your job to decide when not having heard from someone in a while means that they are in mortal danger. It's difficult enough for me on a good day, and you are not me nor are you having a good day.

voice; let's say he lets her know when he hears something later, in case the thread ends

[notsomeloli]

I will let you know if I hear anything.

voice; sure o/ she's going to be sleepless anyway ;;;

[soulofocean]

Please do that. Clef... I'm really sorry, but... Please.

I don't think I can stomach any more awful news.

voice; sorry, he's being too tsundere to use that icon. Even if he had it.

[notsomeloli]

Don't you know that's what the network is for?

[ Kind of like how the internet is for porn, the network is for angst. ]

voice; that icon in genderswitch version would be... something

[soulofocean]

What, delivering bad news? Trust me, this weekend's been a horrible reminder...

[And accidental videos. Nope, no better comparison.]
