[Aqua walks tired out of the catacombs, watch loosely held and recording the ground but her boots should be recognizable. She sighs softly and walks to the street, sitting beneath a lamp and watching the stars. She wraps her arms around herself against the chilly evening air and then glances at the watch.]

I'm... back, I guess. I don't remember ( Read more... )

[So, after the business with Break there's an Alice minding her own business in the room she lives in within Gil and Naoki's ~*~LOVE SHACK~*~. And quite possibly thinking about some of the people back home that she's left behind. All in all, it seems to be a relatively quiet day.]

Are you lonely, dear? You look like you want to play~

[Which is why, ( Read more... )

[The feed clicks on to reveal Switzerland's face, his expression pale and drawn despite the rapidly healing wounds.]

Cracks.

There are cracks under the city. I saw them, when I was in the catacombs. Cracks in the walls, huge ones that weren't there before, and there were tremors.

[ She's standing right in front of the mansion, clad in simple and practical clothes reminiscent to those she wore in Alternia. She waves at the recording device for a moment before turning it away from her and forward.]

Let's see what's inside, then...

[ When she steps in, there's a short pause. Aradia is quiet, broadcasting her surroundings but ( Read more... )

[When the feed clicks on, at first all that's visible is tangled bed sheets. There's a soft murmur that may or may not have been a curse as the watch is flipped over to reveal a battered and beaten but no longer broken Switzerland. He winces before he speaks, being careful to not draw too deep a breath for his still mending ribs and freshly whole ( Read more... )

[202 doesn't waste any time on pleasantries when her video feed clicks on, and with as liberally-coated as she is with what is obviously blood it's not hard to guess why. Her tone is measured, tight with control without which she'd clearly be on the verge of hysterics.]

I... I need a healer. Please. Anybody who can help. I've found Va... ( Read more... )

[Kaoru's come along to check out the carnival - although after his chat with Temper Vale, he's staying wary of anything that could potentially land him in trouble. He's had enough of that, thanks very much.

He's pretty much recovered from his time in the catacombs, though his hair's still long (there's absolutely no way he can cut it straight ( Read more... )

[ Aradia looks positively lively when the feed turns up. She seems to be enjoying the festival - there are flowers in her hair, there is music in the air and the sun is shining. ]Wow, this sure is a fun celebration isn't it ( Read more... )

[Break is sitting on the front porch of Gilbert's house with something in his hand. He shows it to the screen. It's a cupcake.]

Aren't these a nice thought?

[Break pulls the cake away from the screen.]

I found them outside just as I was leaving today. There was even a note on the box. What a wonderful gift!

[And he starts eating it. Video still ( Read more... )

[This is not the usual polished-and-put-together Kaoru that you know and love - nearly two months in the catacombs will do that to a person. His hair's grown longer than usual, his clothes are spattered and in some places saturated with red from slipping into the river a few too many times. And he's limping. He twisted his ankle somewhere along the ( Read more... )
