[The video starts dark - it's a rugged environment, dim and somewhat angled, perhaps a mountain. Soon, Flynn runs by, looking determined, looking behind him, running right into a black dome that spreads across the frame. There's a scream of agony, so uncharacteristic that it's impossible to pinpoint the source. Image One.]

Flynn!

[Yuri runs

[...What a wonderful addition to Estelle's day.

She just stares at her device in something very close to horror for a long moment. At first, she doesn't want to believe that Flynn is really dead. Hurt, maybe. Just unconscious. But Yuri's response is more than enough to convince her otherwise.

And judging from what she's seen on the network today, this isn't a trick. It really happened. Flynn really died.

So, after a few moments, Estelle responds, voice sounding more than a little panicked.]

...Y-Yuri?

[notflynn]

[OH GOD DAMN IT.

SHE JUST GOT HERE YESTERDAY AND THIS SHIT ALREADY?! THE LAST THING HE WANTED HER TO SEE. FLYNN....Flynn...]

[notflynn]

[Flynn.

It was the last thing he wanted to see, too.]

[notflynn]

Hey.

[Gremio believes he might recognize the dome, though he wonders about it only briefly-

The image of Tyr being strangled puts him into complete shock. He doesn't even hear the words spoken. For a moment, he's frozen from the sight, his brain too panicked to think clearly--before seething rage quickly overtakes him. The fury is barely contained in his voice.]

Whoever you are, you will unhand the young master immediately!

[notflynn]

[Staring. Does he look like he's strangling anyone right now, dude?]

You're a few months too late.

[axeofoath]

[It doesn't do anything to calm him--adds slight confusion to his anger, maybe, though he barely registers the sentence.]

What have you done?! He had better be unharmed, or else-!

[A slight scrape of metal as he shifts a weapon off-screen.]

[notflynn]

Or else what?

[Sighs. This is frustrating.]

Go see him for yourself if you're so desperate.

[Despite some slight initial surprise, Rita doesn't have any trouble putting two and two together. The mountain environment, Flynn's death, that spell--it all solidifies what she began to suspect when the four of them fought the harpies together.

It's the second video that throws her. If it really is another memory, then Yuri actually tried to kill Tyr?]

...Hey. There's--your memories are on the network.

video;

[notflynn]

I know.

[Sighs and runs a hand through his hair]

Right after she arrives, too. It's just my luck.

video; 1/2

[blastiafreak]

[Oh hell. She's immediately distracted.]

E-Estelle! If she's seen this-

video;

[blastiafreak]

[Almost runs off, but...Tyr's her friend, too. She can't ignore that without clarifying.]

So everything in those videos...That's how it actually happened?

[umathematic]

[ ... hmmmmmm. ]

No one wants to see your old footage, asshole.

[notflynn]

Believe me, neither do I.

[umathematic]

You forget how to delete?

[notflynn]

Think it's ever that easy?

[stargathering]

[ Oh, this is just what Tyr wanted to see again. He thought it was somewhat fitting that this broadcasted after fighting the harpies together.

Part of him wondered if it broadcast because Tyr's use of the rune recently brought up the memories... He cursed himself in his head, and the voice that comes through Yuri's device is rough. ]

Get rid of these before too many more people see.

audio;

[notflynn]

If only it were that easy.

[If he could see you, Tyr, he'd give you a ~meaningful~ glance]

...Hey.

audio;

[stargathering]

[ mumbled: ] I know...

[ Tyr purposely went for audio so he wouldn't need to see Yuri and Yuri wouldn't be able to see him. Tyr keeps his voice as even as possible, but he doesn't sound calm. ]

Yeah?

audio;

[notflynn]

I'm sorry.

[BAWWWW. I don't think he's ever apologized. And with proper Subject-verb-adjective phrasing! He doesn't usually regret - and in a way, he doesn't. He got the slug out, and what's done was done.

But.]
