twenty third dance | voice; (after sirens).

[quackery]

Um, hi!

[Her voice, though she's trying hard to make sound as upbeat as normal, does sound a bit more tired and strained than normal.]I'm sorry if I worried anybody, but I just went home for a few days. Again. I guess the Core really can't decide on one thing or another sometimes, huh? Well, not much happened there this time around, so I guess

There you are!

You didn't miss too much important things, I think...

Cohen from the theatre died. And uh...Akira's gone too. We're doing a Jungle themed party at Merl- At Zero this week.

People say there's a fairy ring of mushrooms, on the diamond. Did you see them?

[voice]

[quackery]

Akira is? Really?

Mushrooms? No, but I- wasn't at the diamond for very long. What's a fairy ring?

Re: [voice]

[madeinoblivion]

A circle of mushrooms. It's supposed to be where fairies gather, or...that's how it goes in the stories.

[voice]

[quackery]

Oh, that sounds really cool! I wonder if there were really fairies.

[Oh, Ahiru. Sora knows the feeling. The Core's been sending people home left and right..]

We were all wondering what happened to you. Good to have you back.

[But there's a curious tone in her voice. As cheery as she sounds, there's just something in it that makes him wonder.]

Listen, Ahiru... you okay?

[Voice]

[quackery]

Sorry for worrying you!

...I'm fine.

[Voice]

[lockandkeyblade]

Don't worry about it. Not like you could really help it. Core's got a mind of its own.

But you sure? You don't sound all that fine to me.

[pullsheavendown]

You were gone? I thought you were just quiet.

[LOOK HE WAS BUSY AND DISTRACTED, OKAY.]

voice;

[quackery]

[GDI ROXAS THIS IS THE SECOND TIME YOU'VE DONE THIS.]

Yeah, I was gone. But I'm back now!

voice;

[pullsheavendown]

[WELL DID ANYONE ANNOUNCE IT? ...IF YES THEN SHUT UP HE WORKS HARD FOR THE MONEY.]

I'm really glad you are! ...I'm sorry I didn't realize it.

voice;

[quackery]

[YEP. BOTH TIMES.]

It's okay! I'm sure it's not your fault. How've you been?

[whoisjohnsmith]

Oh, that was the guy you had a crush on, huh? Yeah, that's okay, you can start moving on now.

[She's startled enough that she doesn't think to switch the feed to voice on her end. For a few seconds, she looks as if she's just been slapped across the face.]

[voice]

[quackery]

[Then she switches over, but there's silence for at least a minute.]

Shut up.

[video]

[whoisjohnsmith]

[Whoo boy. She was waiting for a while, but Haruhi can't be expected to sit on the other end for a whole minute without getting distracted. She actually sounds like she's cooking something on the other end when she picks up again and hears that, unsure what to say for a second.]

...Well, sheesh, I didn't say anything for like a minute! I was already not talking.

[splish-splash in the background.]

[voice]

[azarathmetrion]

Welcome back.

So, you... what? Don't like finishing sentences anymore?

[voice]

[quackery]

Thanks, Raven.

I don't really know where I was going with that!

[voice]

[azarathmetrion]

It's okay. Sorry your friend left, but like you said. It's probably better away from here.

[voice]

[quackery]

[There's a short pause.]

Right. It's definitely better! So it's okay.
