09 || [Accidental Video/Action]

[occultnurse]

[Well into the evening, amidst all the heavy rain and lightning, a jerky video transmission will be appearing in the journals of those who happen to be looking through it at the time. Although, "jerky" may not be the right term for it, as in all actuality, the post came into being after Miyo Takano threw her journal a good yard away from herEnough

[this is probably not the kind of help she's looking for. But it's what she's going to get.]

They aren't here anymore.

[occultnurse]

[See, Takano not only didn't see you there, San--

--She also doesn't know you.

Therefore, she immediately forces herself to her feet, trying to stumble back. The look on her face is a mix of fear and aggression.]

You ... You don't know that!

[forestpride]

[San takes a more defensive stance in response, and holds her ground.]

I'm not going to hurt you, human. But if they've left you here, it means they're gone.

[occultnurse]

Gone ...? [She stares blankly for a moment, then chuckles a little to herself.] Gone? How could they really be gone? They're always watching us, riiiiight? Just because they aren't here in front of us doesn't mean they're really gone!

[Well now, it has been some time since Alexei heard that woman's voice. Whatever he felt during that week was left forgotten to Alexei...all that remain was the thought that Takano may have some use to him after he carelessly shared his view on certain topics...he also wasn't exactly confident the woman will keep her mouth shut. Naturally, he may as well try and check on her situation after hearing she was taken, like the concerned citizen that he is.]

For them to cause such a reaction from someone like you...I should inform you, Takano that yelling at them at this point is meaningless. You should be more concern about your own condition right now.

[He doesn't suspect anything odd just yet, simply assuming the Malnosso just didn't treat her "kindly".]

[That voice. That's--]

Alexei ... [The tone behind it is a little ... odd. Not calm, not completely fearful -- some sort of unsure middle ground, leaning closer to fearful. Not that that's any fault of his.] ... Why should I bother to concern myself with that? They'll just take me again some day, won't they? They'll just play around with me again some day, won't they?

[She makes an aggressive, annoyed gesture, not that the journal can really pick that up. The camera's pointing straight up at the sky, after all.]

Why should I care about some scratches when we have greater things to focus on?!

[She starts scratching her neck absent-mindedly after saying that, likely not even noticing that she's doing so.]

I can't deny that they might. [This was certainly a side of Takano he has never heard to say the least.]

But do you really believe thinking like that will help improve your situation? We are at a disadvantage regardless, so I suggest you focus on what you can do now. Leaving your injuries unattended to could cause more trouble for you and possibly hinder you from focusing on the more important things.

[And hopefully he'll never see it again. Things like this tend to ... not go very well, for all parties involved.

Too bad for Alexei, though -- his sound logic is warping itself in her mind.]

Maybe ... I'd only end up attracting "healers" and their "magic" if I left myself like this, wouldn't I? [There's sarcasm in those two words, but that sarcasm sounds more nasty than playful.] But doing so doesn't fix anything. It still won't save me from them, in the end. It still won't get me back where I need to be!

[Video] -> [Action] Or something

[breaks_destiny]

[This is it. Ever since she was taken, Keiichi has been watching the journals at every waking minute basically, waiting for the inevitable return. Hoping that the first thing he would hear from this woman wouldn't be something to worry about. But of course that couldn't be.

He recognizes the edge in the voice. The lack of sense. Though maybe he's just judging her wrongly because part of him did expect her to return on a critical stage. Part of him still hopes that no one will get to her before she kills herself out of madness. But it's only a small part and as much as he dislikes her, he can't turn around at her now, even if he will probably come to regret it.]

Yelling won't reach them. Just calm down.

[It's... Mostly a hopeless attempt to see if she's just very angry rather than paranoid. He doesn't really wait for an answer though. He will be gone, grabbing a good dose of the medicine and only making a brief stop to get Minato to come with him. After that he will start the search for her, if she's not in need of help he can

[Video] -> [Action] Or some magical thing

[occultnurse]

[Oh.

That's ...]

You ...

[The sound of Keiichi's voice just makes Takano glower at her thrown journal, backing away from it as if she were expecting Keiichi to pop out of it with a bat in his hand.]

Don't you tell me what to do!

[Video] -> [Action] Keiichi is a magical girl in another world anyway

[breaks_destiny]

Well, at least you yelling at me works better than yelling at someone who isn't there.

[Run, run.]

[Video] -> [Action] This doesn't surprise me

[occultnurse]

... "Isn't there"? [She giggles a little to herself, somehow making the sound come out almost venomous.] You really think they aren't there, just because they aren't standing over you? You really think they aren't watching you and me, watching this conversation, watching everything?

Hee hee hee ... Ah, how nice it must be to live so ignorantly!

Stop complaining, you're going to give people a headache.

[Oh and it's filtered because she rather not let Keiichi know she's speaking with Takano.]

voice; filtered 100%

[occultnurse]

[---Oh. Hello Bern.]

I could care less! If they have a problem with my complaints, then maybe they should do something about our situation!

If a bird in a cage asks to be free, will the owner say 'yes' and let it fly?

That bird means a lot to them. They won't let it out unless they are kind of heart. The Malnosso are not kind of heart.

voice; filtered 100%

[occultnurse]

Then that means the bird should struggle, right? It means it should fight and shake the cage until it knocks it open, right?!

[Voice]

[soulbait]

Ms. Takano, you are being unseemly. Please form your complains more rationally, if you must babble so.

[Voice]

[occultnurse]

[Oh hi Ciel. I bet you're just jumping up in down in glee inside at the thought of her crazy ass returning to the manor later. ... As in "probably a few days later", anyway..]

I didn't ask for your opinion!

[Voice]

[soulbait]

[Oh no. He's really not]

In that case, perhaps you would do well to consider it a bonus, given I have asked nothing in return for it.

[Voice]

[occultnurse]

A bonus I didn't need or care about!
