[She hesitates for just a split-second before throwing the question out there--because if anyone's noticed this, it's her. B|] If anyone's recently made contact with a man named Albert Wesker, it's important that I know when you last saw him. Any information is appreciated.

I don't have much of a plan yet, but I know I don't want to get into any more battles than I have to. Looks like us normal types are way outnumbered here. And even though I hate the thought of playing into the Chaos bastard's hand... we'd better win this time. I don't wanna know what he'll do this time if his team doesn't win.

You gonna be good for this? Rebecca patch you up all nice? (There's a small grin on his face as he says this.)

It's not the fighting he wants as much as the crystals--but if we go after it, the Cosmos side will be defending it tooth and nail. It's obviously a risk either way.

[Have a i c wut u do thar smile back] I'm fine, thanks. And she did.

[--and then, more seriously:] ...So you were caught up in the outbreak around Raccoon?

[RE crew filter]

[badluckconvict]

No kidding. (He sighs at that, one hand going up to rub at the back of his neck.) This whole thing is stupid.

Good to hear. Try not to get banged up again too quick. Then again, with you S.T.A.R.S. types, is that asking too much? (The grin broadens.)

No, I wasn't. I got caught up in something that happened before it, lot smaller scale than a city full of zombies. Just a train and training facility full of zombies and leeches.

Stupid, but unavoidable. [/equally displeased herself, of course.]

[...Jeez, he holds the record here for Quickest To Make Jill Smile/Lift Her Mood. Even surpassing Chris what IS this] I've found that it's an unwritten bonus in my line of work, but I'll try. I guess I'll just have to count on you to carry me back if it happens.

[And here she's trying to remember some eleven-year-old paperwork, but there were so many smaller incidents back then...] ...To each his own, I guess. Especially wherever Umbrella was involved. [She smiles thoughtfully, though, after a moment] I can't call it a coincidence, but it's ironic, don't you think?

[Jill Filter, 'cause he knows how SHE works, duh. :|]

[bsaa_ace]

Same goes for you, Jill.

Wesker missing or something?

[Chris Filter, 'cause... what does THAT mean? :|]

[zerosuitjill]

Can you call it missing if no one actually wants to find him? [/bitter humor]

...I don't know. I haven't heard from him since he arrived, and that's... unexpected. I checked, and the crystal leading to his room is gone.

[A beat before she moves on to confession time] ...When I met him, he took the bolt out of my gun. I haven't had it since. But this morning, I found it in my room on my table. Even if he could get in, you know he wouldn't go to the trouble of giving it back.

[Jill Filter, 'cause he LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVES her. |D]

[bsaa_ace]

You have a point... on both of 'em... I guess we can always hope?

[Chris Filter, 'cause YOU DIDN'T ANSWER THE QUESTION XD]

[zerosuitjill]

I guess so. [Said hesitantly--but it's Chris, so he'll get 100% honesty here.] ...Some think that those who've disappeared have been returned home; in Wesker's case, if he is gone...

[It's unspoken, but clear: would he be returned home alive?]

[prez_tentacle]

I'm going for the crystal again. I hope I can count on your help.

Jill, this time it will be different.

[Filtered back]

[zerosuitjill]

Affirmative. I'll be sticking with one of the newer arrivals, Billy Coen. We can trust him, and he's already said he's set on getting the crystal.

[Filtered back]

[prez_tentacle]

Another one of your team?

[Filtered back]

[zerosuitjill]

More like a friend of a friend. He helped me out a little bit ago.

[obsidian_chaos]

Hn, I haven't heard of the man you've mentioned, unfortunately.

I don't have any intention of fighting you. ... Unless, of course, it is called for. [He would prefer not to fight her, but if he had to, he would.] We may not see each other while on the battlefield as well.

[video | filtered]

[zerosuitjill]

Don't worry about it. It's actually better if you haven't.

[She nods] I'm doing my best to avoid anyone on Cosmos, although I know it's inevitable. Hopefully we won't run into each other out there, after all.

[volitionretaken]

A plan of action, indeed... I regret to say I have nothing of the sort as I am not sure what to expect, but I intend to lend a hand should I see you on the battlefield.

[He knows he doesn't need to tell her to be careful, but his expression says it well enough.]

[zerosuitjill]

[Oh, she knows that look very well.]

Likewise. Communication will be difficult, but if you need some back-up and you have the chance, let me know. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for you either way.
