☠ 1 VIDEO (ENGLISH) 1 ☠

[symmetryguns]

[A video. A glimpse of buildings, sky, a lonely tree, and a possibly familiar figure. Pale skin, ringed gold-orange eyes, longish black hair with... no stripes. A white dress shirt, slightly bloodstained, the sleeves torn off. An annoyed (but more than annoyed, unnerved, something very very worried hidden behind the surface emotion) expression

[8/8]

[spectrophobic]

Kid! Kid!!

It's really you isn't it?!

YAY 8

[symmetryguns]

[He fumbles with the communicator, almost dropping it.]

Li---

Liz?

[Sure, he's looking at the screen, and he's heard from other people that she's here but...

Is it--

He hasn't seen her in so long and he's not sure if he can trust what he's seeing, if it's really her.]

[Video; English]

[spectrophobic]

[Now in a mess of tears, Liz gets her words out the best she can without letting her voice crack with emotion too much.]

It is you!

Where are you?

Oh my god... What even happened to you? Y-you're all bloodied up...

[Video; English]

[symmetryguns]

[A pause, trying to keep his voice steady.

Liz is here. Oh gods Liz is here she's here she's here please let it really be her.]

It's just stains, Liz. You've seen me worse before. [At least, he thinks it's just stains. He's not coughing up blood at the moment.]

[Video; English]

[spectrophobic]

You big idiot! You think hearing that is supposed to make me feel better?!

[She quickly swipes a hand over her eyes. At least there's no makeup to ruin, but...

C'mon, Liz. Keep it together. Your Meister is back, and if what he said about the Book is true, then he's still hanging in there!]




When that guy made off with the Book and you inside of it, I just felt so--... Oh, Kid. I'm just so glad that you're okay!

Y-you have no idea how worried Patti and I were about you...

[Video; English]

[symmetryguns]

[It's Liz it's Liz it's really her.]

You and Patti, you made it out all right? Noah [he stumbles only slightly over the name] wouldn't tell me and--

[Of course they're fine.]

[Video; English] [1/2]

[spectrophobic]

Yes, somehow.

Maka and Soul, they... they were able to neutralize Arachne's insanity wavelength. It was really strange. Like a melody played from a piano, expect right into our own heads.

They did it, Kid... They were able to bring that witch down! Can you believe it? Though, it seems there was a lot of other stuff that happened, too. [She puts on a weak smile, pushing part of her hair back behind her shoulders] I'm... uh... sorry if it takes me awhile to remember all the details.

Everyone else made it back to Death City okay. ...Ah, Jacqueline and Kim were pardoned by Shinigami-sama, and even offered to help out Angela.

We also tried asking Maka about the Book of Eibon, to see if she'd know something about it.

[Video; English]

[spectrophobic]

You know, I...

I always wanted to tell you how sorry I was. For not being strong enough to get you back from that jerk right away, and...

[She looks down.]

Patti and I, we're not about to give up on getting you back, Kid. Not ever.

[Video; English]

[symmetryguns]

It's not your fault. Noah's too strong. [Words are failing him, he's out of practice with any sort of civil conversation.]

Jackie's coming to meet me.

[Video; English]

[spectrophobic]

...

[She takes a deep breath of air, and... Haaa... That's better.]

Alright. There's... actually a whole lot that I'd like to tell you about later, but for now, just try to stay safe, okay?

There a place here where you can stay, so you don't have to worry about that either.

[Video; English]

[symmetryguns]

All right. [This is entirely not how he wanted to meet up with Liz again. He had thought (really, more like had tried to salvage from what little he remembered of his vague dreams, before he woke up to a fist in his ribs or a looming figure radiating insanity) that their reunion would involve a lot less video recordings and a lot more asymmetrical clinging and crying and Patti yelling at him for not being able to escape.]

I'll see you soon.
