Thank you, the view is really pretty. There's still a lot of snow but it's obvious that Spring is coming soon, some parts already start to lack snow though they aren't many. I can't tell how bright the sun shines but I hope it doesn't start raining, at least not until I'm back home. It's still pretty and breathtaking, to see the village like this,

[...Adell blinks at the voice, immediately recognizing it. It was her. Was she finally back? And normal?]

L-Luka? Yeah, yeah it is. [The answer was admittedly pretty automatic, but it's accurate at any rate. ...Wait, she said she was damaged.] I'm coming to find you. I'll climb every building in town if I have to!

[Voice]

[lukanightfever]

No need to stress yourself, Master Adell. I'm sure someone in this building will be kind enough to check and be able to at least tell me where I am so you can come directly.

[Voice]

[vulcanblazer]

[...She sounds okay. And oddly calm and relaxed. In a way, that was pretty relieving, but he can't help but think something else might be wrong. Given what's happened lately, it's probably hard to blame him. Because if they messed with her again, he'll make sure that one day that whatever scientists messed with her will have hell to pay.

He takes a deep breath, exhaling to get his nerves back in line.]

...Right. But a little exercise won't kill me, right? Some of the buildings don't have that many people in them, so... I'll check those first, at least.

[...Yes, he's worried about you. He has been for awhile. It's probably obvious, and it wouldn't be like him not to take action.]

[Voice]

[lukanightfever]

Hold your horse, Mister Exercise-Maniac. You can't seriously expect me to believe that you haven't done plenty exercise already today, right?

[One can almost hear Luki saying something like "drop the knight in shining armor act for once" in there.]

[Voice/Filtered from Knives/Legato ---> Action!]

[goldenglasses]

You can't move? Hold on! I'll go check my roof now!

[Lucky, lucky! Vash lives in community building four!]

[Voice/Filtered from Knives/Legato ---> Action!]

[lukanightfever]

It's nothing serious, it'll be easily fixed with a visit to Miss Winry and maybe a small resynchronization of my software. Thank you, Mister Vash. I hope this won't be just a waste of your time.

[She'll be there. Sitting in the roof quite calmly. Her clothes are a bit damaged and ripped but there are no visible wounds or traces of blood. In fact at first sight one wouldn't even notice that she can't move her legs.]

[Action]

[goldenglasses]

Don't worry about wasting my time! I have plenty to waste!

[Vash is relieved to see he had the right roof once he gets there and doesn't have to go running around two and up all those flights of stairs until he did.]

Oh good! I found you! Is anything else injured? [Because even if he can't see anything, you never know if there's some kind of software error in an andriod.]

[Action]

[lukanightfever]

[She's relieved too. She didn't mind waiting for people to find her but, the sooner she's found, the sooner she'll be all fine again. Vash earns a bright smile.]

Mister Vash! I'm so glad to see you! I would give you a hug but... [Can't move or stand up so your hug will have to wait.]

I've already ran several tests for my software and hardware. All the systems are running on perfectly well, only my legs refuse to properly work. I suppose I can say I've been really lucky this time.

[count_gardios]

[M-Master? Adell you cad.]

It looks like you've got the rescue covered, so I'll do what I can to bring you up to date.

We just finished an experiment and I haven't heard anything about a draft coming up again soon, so hopefully this place will be calm for a little while. Although the past few years the Malnosso have done something for a holiday called "Valentine's" so it's likely we'll get hit with something again soon.

[lukanightfever]

I'm glad to hear that, it's really annoying to return to find out my friends are fighting at the war again. I remember that the past year the Malnosso had an experiment that could be considered as a late Valentine's day, I'm not sure if I should bother to try to avoid Mr. Irvinne or not this year-...

[Wait a second.]

Are we in February?

[count_gardios]

We are. Theee... [the sound of flipping pages here] eleventh, to be precise.

[lukanightfever]

That's... A lot more time than what I expected.

[It would give Adell more excuse for his knight in shining armor this time.]

Out of curiosity, what was the last experiment like?

[1week_wizard]

... Welcome back, Luka. Your room should have remained in excellent order.

[lukanightfever]

Thank you, Miss Patchouli. It's good to be back, how have you been?

[1week_wizard]

I've been well enough. We were worried about you, of course.

[lukanightfever]

I'm sorry for having worried you all, but I'm back now and all fine, taking aside the small problem with my legs. Master Adell is coming to pick me up so I'll be home soon enough. I sincerely apologize for having been such a troublesome housemate, thank you for putting up with me and the others during this time.

[hana_king]

[ Oh, wow. Haven't heard that voice in...a long time. ]

... Luka?

[lukanightfever]

[Mun derpness aside, with all she has gone throw in the past months Luka also feels that it has been years since she saw or heard Usopp. The voice may sound slightly different but she recognizes it instantly.]

Captain Usopp!!I'm glad of hearing you again, it feels as if it has been ages since I last heard you.

[hana_king]

Yeah, you too! [ Starts out with a huge grin annnd then that kind of drops off of the face of the earth. ] Are you okay?

[lukanightfever]

Far better than I could be considered I was just returned. All the systems run properly, all my programs are there, same with by body parts sans a minor problem with my legs. But I'll get that fixed soon.
