[he'd been 'good' long enough, and it's left a bad taste in his mouth. The acid tang of failure and disappointment and restlessness. So... he is hardly surprised when he finds himself snatching mentally at a stray presence on the edge of town and drawing them to him. It was nearly an accident, really. An instinctual reaction. One that he won't be ( Read more... )

[She was just walking around the village, like she usually did almost every day since she arrived. Today she'd lost track of time and had wandered over near CH6. Nothing special, really.

... Until she feels something unusual, suddenly finding herself falling over. Her senses are naturally heightened, but it's not doing anything for her legs being taken over by pain.]

[it's as though her legs are simply deciding on their own to disobey her, the nerves and tendons pulling against her will. First locking up, fighting any commands she gives them... and then the sensation begins to spread to her arms. Just enough to begin to push her unsteadily to her feet again]

[It doesn't take long for the panic to start flooding into her once it comes to her attention that she's not making herself move. Something else... She'd never learned anything that could combat this type of attack, so starts to rise up unsteadily, trying to push past her emotions feebly in an attempt to stop.

Too bad it's not working.]

[whatever it is, it lets go of her arms once she's balanced on her feet, focused only on her legs and briefly sneaking into any other muscles needed to help keep her balance. And then, without her orders, those legs start walking on their own-- turning her path deeper into the forest]

[Vash wanted to just ignore you, but he became concerned even before the post was suddenly locked just to him. "I'm tired of waiting" and what was that noise he had heard after that?]

Legato... what are you doing?

[Voice - FILTERED because he wants to practice his new filtering skills in public :3] endthem January 11 2011, 05:41:44 UTC

I thought it was obvious. I wanted to welcome you back. How was your trip home? Were you able to alter fate?

[fidgeting, almost, with his new toy. Pushing one little arm, testing where resistance begins to turn into pain]

[Voice - FILTERED because HI!] goldenglasses January 11 2011, 05:44:51 UTC

Welcome me back HOW, Legato!? [Do you hear that? It's the sound of someone pratically FLYING down stairs.] What are you doing!? Whatever it is, stop it!

[Still filtered?! :o] seiriald January 11 2011, 05:55:47 UTC

[That voice should be familiar, but Kaori can only focus on the fact that Legato's trying to manipulate her limbs again, so that sudden squeak she lets out is more out of shock than anything.]

[Jilly's instincts are good. Whether experience or nature fueled it, she had a knack for knowing when things were "off." After all, it's how she'd made it this far.

So finally thawing in the Welcome Center, a cup of coffee in hand, she found herself stopping on this entry.

It wasn't exactly something she could put her finger on. It didn't even feel like whoever it was was looking for a response. Not really.

...but something wasn't right.

She skipped it. Moved on to other pages, but eventually she found herself drawn back, troubled]

Waiting for what?

[voice] endthem January 11 2011, 06:58:42 UTC

[maybe a little bit of impatient matter-of-factness slipping into the empty tone]

Something of meaning.

[voice] tehoniongirl January 11 2011, 07:00:23 UTC

....is it that hard to find?

[voice] endthem January 11 2011, 07:07:39 UTC

Terribly.

[Never a dull fucking moment from you, is there?]

What are you doing, Legato.

[Voice] endthem January 11 2011, 07:08:22 UTC

[oh hey, partner]

Oh. I see you've made it back as well.

Re: [Voice] not_a_bluesbro January 11 2011, 07:12:25 UTC

That's right.

[And I remember what an asshole you were, too.]

Now answer my question.

[Voice] endthem January 11 2011, 07:16:59 UTC

I have to say that I'm a little surprised at how little you have changed over the years.

You don't learn lessons easily, do you?

Tired of waiting? For what? [He's ignoring the scuffling for now, although it is odd. In fact, his voice sounds somewhat bored--quite the opposite of what it would be if he any idea just what was going on.]

endthem January 11 2011, 08:39:50 UTC

[oh, it's nothing to worry about. Just your imagination]

For something meaningful to happen. Something of worth.

returninghope January 11 2011, 08:46:24 UTC

[Sure, sure. Just that... he's not very creative. :|a]

And what would that be?

endthem January 11 2011, 08:52:31 UTC

[then it was the wind. obviously.]

Does it really need to be more specific? Something that surpasses the worthlessness of the facade here.
