Accidental Video 002 // A Type of Good-bye

[redcloakedthief]

[It's a surprisingly melancholic look on his face when he can be seen, pacing on what seems to be a rooftop somewhere.

He finally sits beside the SFC with a sigh, shaking his head.]

Looks like the theory wasn't entirely right. He's still gone.

[A pause, and he notices the red light. With an annoyed look, he reaches over, and--

Click!]

BREAKING MY HIATUS FOR YOU, FFFFFFFFFFFFF

[sweeperesque]

[... no, she doesn't really know what he's talking about. But she can tell that it's probably something pretty important. Give her some time to research and figure it out. ... but while she does that-]

Penny for your thoughts?

ILU DEAREST

[redcloakedthief]

[A tight, annoyed frown. He hates technology.]

It isn't important. Except that apparently death can be more permanent here than we thought.

ILU2 BUT IT'S YOUR FAULT IF MY HIATUS ENDS UP FLAKY AGAIN

[sweeperesque]

[And she seems honestly surprised. What, did he think that it was a guaranteed thing? Then again, she's probably thought longer about the effects of death than him.]

Well... yeah. I guess. But we shouldn't have relied on that idea anyway.

[A pause. Information's all well and good, but she's more concerned for Matthew's well-being here.] So... someone didn't come back, huh? You knew him?

OKAY. /TAKES BLAME : D

[redcloakedthief]

[He shakes his head. It wasn't a reliance thing, it was--

What was it?]

Good guess.

[He doesn't particularly want to talk about it. This is why...connections are bad.]

It doesn't matter now, though.

[aimforthesun]

[His voice is completely devoid of any fake cheer.]

... You're talking about death?

[He doesn't know whom Matthew's talking about, but judging by his words and the bit about 'theory'--he remembers the use of that word, from weeks ago--he figures that's the answer.]

[redcloakedthief]

[That makes two of them. And he frowns, tilting his head.]

Yeah. Good guess.

[aimforthesun]

... Who?

[redcloakedthief]

...Did you know Eyes Rutherford?

[pristinestar]

[judging from the looks of this video, it was accidental. he didn't want to call back since he thought it would just make the guy feel worse, so he just goes with a small text]

i'm sorry... i hope you're okay. if you need anything, let me know.

[Text]

[redcloakedthief]

[A text comes back very quickly, as though without hesitation.]

Of course I'm okay. Just remarking on a change in a theory. It's a shame the theory isn't true. I thought we were getting somewhere.

[pristinestar]

... there's a chance people can't come back even after dying, huh? i guess i should be more careful, too.

but it makes you wonder where they really go after this. we can't be truly sure that they're gone.

[redcloakedthief]

Yes, it doesn't seem so foolproof anymore.

We can hope they go home, but that's a little too optimistic for my tastes.

[redcloakedthief]

It would be silly for you to be sorry, seeing as it isn't your fault. But yes, something like that.

[ Text ]

[redcloakedthief]

Maybe. What we really need is information, but it's not very easy to find.

[bindless]

Who is still gone?

[redcloakedthief]

...If you haven't gotten the message yet, death can still be permanent here.
