What the hell...

[Rustling. A soft ha.

A gunshot and then a yelp of a dog.]

Nothing's changed. Did I miss much?

Commander, what's your location?

Comments

[schemingwords]

Commander?

Commander who?

[mostly_spice]

Torn. Long ears, tattoos on the face, voice like a speeder without a decent muffler.

[schemingwords]

Ha.

Long gone.

[mostly_spice]

...

Good.

Who're you?

1/2

[xlord_van_fanx]

A...

Ash--

2/2

[xlord_van_fanx]

ASHELIN!

[voice]

[mostly_spice]

Merle!

You're still here? How are you, girl?

[voice]

[xlord_van_fanx]

Nyaa~!

I'm... so glad! I was so sad when you left...

[edgy_edgey]

..."Commander"?

[mostly_spice]

Torn? Sounds like he's gone.

[edgy_edgey]

You were a friend of his, then?

It's been at least six weeks since he left, if my memory serves me correctly.

[mostly_spice]

...Six weeks?

Can you give me a run down of the current situation? It sounds like I've been gone for a while.

[the_blueblur]

Boss!!

[mostly_spice]

Sonic-- good to hear your voice.

Can you give me a run down of the situation, blue?

[the_blueblur]

I'm glad to hear from you again, too!

Okay, but it's a lot. First off, you disappeared. Then so did Sir and Chief. After that, there were a ton of explosions. Marshall collapsed in on itself- At least the top levels did. About eight of us got stuck in the hospital, I heard others got trapped in the subways. Chimeras were everywhere, too.

The hospital had some freaky stuff in it- I'll tell you more of that later. Once things calmed down again, this dude named Walter decided to cause trouble. He started making a list of 21 Sacraments and killing people to get their hearts- That's what I heard anyway. People started to come back as ghosts. And Kirie, a weirdo ghost that's been trying to curse people.. She's big trouble too.

Anyway, we managed to lock up Walter, but then his allies, Azula's one of them, went and broke him out! He's free and we're trying to deal with that now.

...

Oh yeah, and Sai's still a crazy, crazy kid.

[mostly_spice]

...

[half a laugh.]

Oh, is that all?

Looks like Torn's back too, but not the one who was here before.

[mrbaseballfan]

Ashelin? I didn't expect to see you back again!

Kinda came at a bad time, though.

[mostly_spice]

Hey, Ness. When're there ever good times?

...How've you been?

[mrbaseballfan]

Uhh.. Not too well. I was a menace to the city for awhile after trying to stop a murderer. Then Raziel beat me silly with the Soul Reaver and I came back.

I don't even know where to begin. So much crap went on, it's ridiculous. I kinda look like a mummy from all the bandages, but the injuries aren't super serious.

[mostly_spice]

...

[sigh]

Right. This is the same murderer who's running around on the lose?

...Glad to hear you're okay.
