[It's early afternoon. The journal flies open and turns on abruptly in mid-air, a blast of resonating energy having blown it away from where it had been placed. As it flies, a few flashes of red, white, and black are visible, and when it lands, Asch and Luke are in the distance, swords clashing, the rec center just beyond where they're fighting.

[oh holy fuck

oh holy fuck

Mewtwo tries to leave a written response, but the beginning isn't very legible and the end trails off into a large scribbly knot.

TIME TO INVESTIGoh goodness that is a crater]

[As if that sound and those yells weren't bad enough, that pillar of light is enough to really freak Emil out, and he's out the door and running in its direction almost as soon as it happens.]

Luke! Asch! What's going on?

[Voice]

[mirrorbirth]

[The first response he gets is kind of muffled and very irritated.]

Replica will you shut the journal already until we get to the shore? At least keep them from yelling in my ear...!

[Voice]

[cakeblocked]

[The second is less muffled, though no louder, since he's trying to hold the journal away enough to not bother Asch so much.]

But there are people still worried about us...!

[Voice]

[ratatosk_knight]

Are you guys okay? Where are you?

[voice]

[Tear was also observing their fight, taking note of each of their fighting styles should something occur and she needs to rely on one or both. Simply sitting in silence amidst the clashing sounds of their swords.

... That is immediately shattered by the sudden appearance of that pillar of light, cuing an exasperated sigh of the soldier. This was certainly a familiar situation.]

Not again, don't you both know better?

[voice]

[cakeblocked]

[It takes some time for a response to come, and Tear might see Luke half on Asch's back and half in the ocean, the both of them looking very grumpy, soaked and tired.]

H-Hey, it's not like - [Deep breath - COUGH.] 's our fault!

[voice]

[seleniahymn]

[Now normally she would have a retort for that comment, but what she sees in the small window frame and that deep coughing of his push that a little further back in her mind for the time being.]

Where did you land?

[Voice]

[Dist flips through his journal lazily when he stumbles across the two fighting. He pauses only for moment before rolling his eyes and making to turn the page. Two buffoons swinging their swords around never occupied this researcher's interest for very long. He turns the page just as he hears Asch's voice cut in, and out of pure curiosity, turns it back. The explosion over the journal is deafening. Deafening and familiar.

...Oh, those idiots. Dist sits back in his chair, turning his head toward his window and--yes, there it was. The unmistakable pillar of light from an incomplete hyperresonance.

He'll give them a few minutes before cutting in with an amused sneer.]

I do wish you both would cease your disruption of the peace... Some of us would like to enjoy the afternoon. Oh, excuse me. Are you both still in one piece, or do you need mopping up?

[Voice]

[cakeblocked]

[Oh, that voice. Luke returns that with a quiet little snarl of his own. He's never been fond of Dist, and especially after what Ion told him regarding his death... Ugh. How can the rest of them live with that man?]

We're fine, so shut up already.

[Voice]

[its_rose_damnit]

[For your information, Dist moved out the second the experiment ended. And he hasn't returned yet, either. 8| Though sensing such a level of hostility from the Luke replica is...definitely odd. Dist expected that from Asch, really, thus he raises a questioning brow. It doesn't last long, though, before he scoffs right back.]

Oh, what a pity... And here I was so ready to volunteer to write an obituary for you both.

[Voice]

[cakeblocked]

[Why is he - rrgh. Luke's grip around Asch's shoulders tighten almost protectively as he replies.]

What, did you want us to die?!

[ It was perplexing to hear the clanging of swords coming from her journal. The quality of the sound was so good that it was almost as if she was listening to it in person. It was then she realized she was near the sparring match when a blast of light came from the forest not so far from her.

Without another thought she immediately ran into the forestry ready to heal anyone injured. She finally stopped at the decimated clearing and her heart nearly stopped when there was no sign of human life. ]

H-hello! Is anyone here?!

[voice]

[cakeblocked]

[A few minutes later, Martel might hear some sounds coming from the charred journal off to the side. It sounds like waves and two voices muttering to each other, and finally one rises a little louder than the other.]

Are you trying to drown me or something?!

[voice]

[seraphgoddess]

[ Her anxiety got even worse after hearing the word "drown." Is she witnessing a murder here? She raised her voice a little higher. ]

Hello?! Who's out there?! Is someone trying to drown you?! Please tell me where you are!
