[Mikoto - Video]

[nomerevessel]

[Mikoto is sitting surrounded by little black mages. They're all upset and several are crying.]

Vivi Orunitia has been taken. We... couldn't make him wake up. One of the black mages saw him disappear.

I'm sorry to report this news.

[Truly shocked and dismayed by this piece of news, Edward couldn't help but feel sorry for the little black mages. Vivi was like a father to them, their very own champion, but beyond that he was their friend. At a loss for words, the bard merely hung his head.]

...Vivi.

[She bows her head.]

May he find peace, wherever that may be.

[lastsummoner]

WHAT?!

[nomerevessel]

He's gone, Eiko. We may never see him again.

[Cheerful, isn't she?]

[lastsummoner]

[You could paint the room yellow with the cheer.]

Don't you care?!

[nomerevessel]

Caring is no longer a foreign concept to me, Eiko. Of course I care. I feel... empty. As though there is a gap that Vivi ought to fill.

[Have another dismayed face, Mikoto. Her shoulders sag, remembering the little mage all too well and horribly guilty that she couldn't save him.]

Oh, Vivi....

[nomerevessel]

[Mikoto bows her head solemnly.]

He won't be forgotten.

[She sighs, nodding.]

No, never.

Vivi... Where could you be?

[voice]

[nomerevessel]

Even when he was here, his mind was beyond our reach.

[voice]

[captain_rusty]

No...

[ voice ]

[xredthespianx]

Oh, Vivi...

... Poor lil guy.

[ voice ]

[nomerevessel]

I'm sorry.

[ voice ]

[xredthespianx]

How are the rest of the little mages holding up? [ Other than the ones who are crying, because well, that bit is obvious. ]

[ voice ]

[nomerevessel]

They have no choice but to cope. I am teaching the younger ones the concept of stopping.
