The rain has stopped. And now there are butterflies.

... Mn. I'd like to go for a walk.

[She's supposed to be asleep right now, but this question. It is relevant. With a rather weak, yet still determined-sounding answer, Gracia replies.]

You can't. That's the most impossible thing that can ever happen, I think.

[voice/girl filter]

[mercifulsmile]

No! Don't be silly. It's my fault for talking like I knew what I was actually saying. I want to help you, but I'm going to think about it before I speak again, alright? I really just...don't want any of my pals to regret what they did.

I don't mind! I can rest and talk at the same time.

[voice/girl filter]

[euphoricheir]

Regret what they did?

If you're certain. So many people have suddenly got ill lately as a result of the ash. I had no idea you were one.

[voice/girl filter]

[mercifulsmile]

Yes. Because I believe that things happen for a reason, and that people do things--good or bad--because in the end, something wonderful will come out of it! Regret destroys that.

Oh no, I'm not sick because of the ash. I had my chip removed a few days ago!

[voice/girl filter]

[euphoricheir]

Ah. Yes... I believe that, too. But tell me, have you decided you do love someone? I think I remember you telling me that you weren't sure.

...

Isn't that dangerous?

[voice/girl filter]

[mercifulsmile]

Oh, of course I love someone! I love all my pals! Is that what you meant?

No, I don't think so. Lots of people have theirs removed, and they get a little sick afterwards, but that's it. This way, I can start helping out whenever people need someone.

[euphoricheir]

No, no I don't mean love as in love of friendship. I mean being in love.

I was told that it was unnecessary if you don't have powers of some sort. I take it you do?

[voice/girl filter]

[mercifulsmile]

Oh, I see. No, I'm not in love yet. Or at least, I don't think I am! I still don't know how it feels, and how you know. I've always thought that to love someone as a friend is enough! But then again, Lady Oichi and Lady No are...

I do! How about you, Euphy?

[voice/girl filter]

[euphoricheir]

I won't pry. Love is so tricky that sometimes I often wonder myself why I got caught up in it. I'm either really bad at it or confused about it myself.

No, not that I know of. I'm just a normal young woman. [ that kills Japanese. ]

No one can be bad at love, silly!

[She moves to reply, but something...happens. The feed is filled with ruffling noises--sheets, probably--and instead of Gracia's voice, there is a deafening silence with the communicator still on.]

[voice/girl filter] brb vomiting 8( t-time for stage two orz ;A;

[mercifulsmile]

[Gagging noises. Then, it's obvious Gracia is vomiting. She returns after a while, apologetic in tone, but weaker than she first started.]

I'm sorry about that! What were you saying?

[euphoricheir]

Lady Gracia! P-Please don't... you should really be resting!!

[voice/girl filter] SADLY, IT HAS BEEN DECIDED D| NICE TALKING TO YOU EUPHY BB.

[mercifulsmile]

D-Don't call me Lady, I told you. [She playfully chides her, despite the rush of nausea coming back up once more.]

I'm fine. It's alright. Keep going.

[voice/girl filter] GOD NOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooo ffffffffffffff :<

[euphoricheir]

I don't think I can. Not after ... not after that. Is anyone with you?

[voice/girl filter] sdkfgnsdgkgsk /dramatic scream here

[mercifulsmile]

I'm so sorry. I ruined [She holds it back in--it's coming back up.] I ruined our conversation. Two of my pals are here. Mago is in his room, and Riku went to get something, I'm not sure. I'll be fine! I'll just let it all out!
