Twentieth Cross - [Voice]

[ys_cant_die]

[There's the sound of rain alone for a few seconds, along with the sound of a creaking, rusty swing in motion. Very faintly, there is shaky breathing in the background. He hesitates for a moment before beginning to speak.]

It really does burn.

It's... been a while.

Gaara, did you get your friend settled?

[piskiestix]

Cecil, if you're out in this rain I swear I'm going to beat you with my umbrella.

[ys_cant_die]

I'll be sure to hide, Kaye. And you have to find me before you can beat me.

[piskiestix]

Hide inside.

[ys_cant_die]

The rain kind of burns. It's making holes in my shirt...

[piskiestix]

Duh. It's acid rain.

[ys_cant_die]

I know it is.

I wonder how long I can be out here... before it kills me.

[piskiestix]

Cecil, I'll kick your ass when you come back if you don't get your ass inside.

[ys_cant_die]

Are you going to kill me if I stay outside, Kaye?

Or will the rain beat you to it?

[piskiestix]

I'm coming to get you and bring you inside. Where are you?

[ys_cant_die]

You won't find me.

[Purposely squeaks the swings.]

I'm going to run, Kaye! And you won't catch me!

[piskiestix]

Cecil, this stuff can kill you!

[Is already out the door and covered in MASSIVE layers.]

[ys_cant_die]

I've been waiting for Rain...

[Still squeaking the swing...]

[piskiestix]

This isn't the right kind of rain.

[ys_cant_die]

I know, I know.

Which is why it won't kill me.

[piskiestix]

What?

[ys_cant_die]

Nothing... nothing...

Go back inside. You'll get hurt out here.
