((Have a Long and Overdue First Voice Entry.))

[a_silpelit]

[There's some static as it is turned on. Still very new to this communicator box, but she thinks it's on. Her friend Kakyuu showed her how to make a voice message. But, just to be sure--]

If the light is on, that means it's working, right...?

[The timidness in her tone soon shifts to worry.] Papa? Are you there? It's me, Nana

[ugotafriendinme]

You're looking for your Dad?

[Voice] 1/2

[a_silpelit]

Ah! How...?

[Voice]

[a_silpelit]

[Quickly, she gathers herself.] This box is more complicated than I thought.

Yes, I'm looking for my papa. I...could tell you what he looks like, Mister, so you'd know if you have or have not seen him.

[Voice]

[ugotafriendinme]

Well, I'd be happy to help ya find him for ya, Lil Lady. Go ahead and tell me what he looks like n' all. I'll be sure to keep an eye out and letcha know if he's around here.

What's your name?

[Voice]

[a_silpelit]

[There were people so much nicer than the ones she knew, especially Kakyuu. From the friendliness in this man's voice, Nana's timidness melts away. He seemed okay to her!]

My name's Nana. And yours?

He's tall with dark hair, wears a purple string around his neck... Papa wears glasses, and doesn't smile very much--but he should!

I think his name is Kurama. Have you seen or heard of anyone like that? [Hoping, hoping, hoping...]

[Voice]

[ugotafriendinme]

Name's Woody, Woody Pride and it's a pleasure meetcha Nana.

Hm, can't say that I have yet. But I'll make sure to check an' see if anyone 'round here looks like that. I'll ask my friend Sora if he knows a guy named Kurama. He usually explores this place a lot.

[Voice]

[a_silpelit]

[Off screen, she's nodding. That's better than nothing.] All right.

Thank you. [A silent pang of heartache in the middle of the pause there. There are no words to describe how much she wants to be with him again. She was really hoping to reach him on this day.] I hope he's around here. He has to be.

[He'd better be! Already, she has felt so guilty. Papa's in trouble because of her! She feels she needs him with her safe and sound.]

[Voice]

[ugotafriendinme]

Hey... Don't worry, there's a chance he might be here.

Besides, you're not alone. I'm sure there are more people 'round here besides me that can help ya.

You're not by yourself now are ya?

[Voice]

[a_silpelit]

I'm sure there is! [sounding a bit more determined] There's two more who just said they could try.

I'm with my friend, Kakyuu. She's helping me look for Papa too.

[Voice] 1/2

[ugotafriendinme]

Two more...?

[Sees that Scar's post there. He's a bit quiet on this end.]

Ok well... It's good you're with your friend then.

[Private Voice] 2/2

[ugotafriendinme]

Listen, Nana...

Be care about that Lion who responded there. I haven't heard too many good things about him.

[Private Voice] 2/2

[a_silpelit]

Oh? He's bad?

[not sure what to believe] What have you heard? [She'll try to take it to heart, if you're specific enough, Woody.]

[Private Voice]

[ugotafriendinme]

Well, I know my friend Sora doesn't trust him. From what I gathered he's under a suspicion of killing others in the past. Possibly a member of his own family.

[Private Voice]

[a_silpelit]

[And that very well shocks her. The very last thing he said.]

But why?! Why would he?

That's...as bad as... [About as terrible when Lucy had nearly killed Nana. No-probably worse.]

[Urgency, worry. Oh, no. Oh no, oh no, oh no.] Please don't let him hurt my Papa. [blurting out;] He's in enough trouble!

[Private Voice]

[ugotafriendinme]

Don't worry Nana, he ain't gonna go after your Father. He probably doesn't even know if he's here or not.

Just don't get near him alright?

[Private Voice]

[a_silpelit]

Okay. I'll stay away from him...

But--why did he offer to help me?

[And there's something else she does not get.] How can the lion not hear us right now?
