Voice [007] �

[protagonized]

[He's trembling. Trembling, trembling, shaking, and while he can't be seen, he is clearly having troubles breathing steadily.

A shuddering breath and a tight frown can be heard in his voice.

He has to frown, because it's much easier to be angry than to be shattered. He's both, really, but...

Furious, before the tears.]

Why do they--

[He

*Selphie doesn't know the guy. She's never even seen him before. But it hurts her to see anyone feeling upset. She blinks into her own SFC, a concerned expression on her face. She wants to tell him that everything will be okay, but she doesn't know that*

...Hey.

[voice]

[protagonized]

[He blinks at the face that pops up on the screen and is silent for a long moment. He doesn't get it; he doesn't understand why a stranger would even bother--]

...What?

[video]

[dystopiadreams]

*Selphie blinks at the screen, even though there's no one to look at. She pauses, aware that she's just butted in on someone's personal business*

Do you like tea? Or cake?

[voice]

[protagonized]

[At that, she gets a puzzled silence. Thankfully, he does like both--]

Er...yes?

[video]

[dystopiadreams]

Oh that's good! I have tea and cake in my room! Wanna come round for tea and cake! Tea and cake make everything better?

*Scooping up the SFC and holding it closer to her face*

[video]

[protagonized]

[...]

...What?

But...you don't even know me...do you?

[video]

[dystopiadreams]

*Smiling at the face and giving a wave*

Nope! But I know a sad face when I see one!

[video]

[protagonized]

[Blink. Blink.]

I don't--

[He's so confused. So badly confused.]

...Why?

[video]

[dystopiadreams]

*Pouts for a moment before her lips turn into a smile*

Why what? Don't you like tea and cake? We can do...soda and toast instead if you like!

[video]

[protagonized]

[...]

Why are you...doing this?

[video]

[dystopiadreams]

Well, I happen to have loads of cakes and I won't be able to eat them all myself. That...and I'm kinda lonely, and we should cheer each other up, right?

*Punctuated with a nod and a flash of a wink*

[video]

[protagonized]

[...He can't refute that logic, and after a moment--awful as he feels--he nods.]

...Well...alright. If you really want to, I guess.

[video]

[dystopiadreams]

*Beaming smiles and clapping in hands in excitement*

Great! Oh, my name's Selphie and I live second floor, Vita apartments.

[video --> action]

[protagonized]

[There's a long pause on his end, but--

She seems so excited. And...tea and cake. And he sighs.]

Fine. I'll...be there in a bit, then.

[Click!

Why is he even doing this? ...Maybe because he gets the feeling she won't give in.

And true to his word, in a bit, he's standing on the second floor of Vita apartments, hands jammed in his pockets and looking around, very lost.

...maybe he should have asked for a room number.]

[aaand action!]

[dystopiadreams]

*But Selphie's is the first room, and she's been waiting for him to arrive. She swings open the door and waves at the confused looking stranger*

Hi! I'm Selphie! Nice to meet you!

*All smiles, excited to have a visitor, she moves aside to let him in*

[action!]

[protagonized]

[He's still uncomfortable and a little confused, but, slouching slightly and hands still in his pockets, he slowly walks into the room, looking around curiously.]

...Kyouriki. It's, um, nice to meet you too.
