Illusion XXXII {Video}

[The screen cuts to the empty living room of the Varia Mansion at first, before the sound of a door opening and closing can be heard off-screen.]

I'm home.

[It was called out to someone in the house, but at the same time it's obviously said as a statement of relief.]

[Fran walks onto the screen. He is covered in dirt, blood, sweat and what looks like

[Offline] Just going to go along with it being offline.

[Bel's in the kitchen when he hears Fran, having himself a small drink of water.]

What took you-

[...God Fran. Why are you so filthy. Actually. Forget this. He isn't even going to ask.]

Get off the couch, you're getting it filthy.

[Offline] Of course! <3

[supermistfrog]

Ah, hi, senpai.

[He doesn't move at first, but he at least slides to an upright position after a few moments, getting his feet off the armrest. A few animal parts fall onto the floor.]

But I'm tired.

[Offline] Great! ♥

[princeofstorm]

[...Gross. That needs to be cleaned up soon.]

You can lay in your filth on your bed.

...Go get cleaned up.

[supermistfrog]

But I don't want to get my bed dirty.

[He's getting up anyway.]

Che. You should really be thankful I'm alive.

You're alright, aren't you, Fran?

[Video]

[supermistfrog]

Mm. Just a little dirty.

[...a little?]

Re: [Video]

[buntails]

You look like you crawled around a dirt pile.

[Oh, wait.]

[Video]

[supermistfrog]

I did.

[Yup.]

[Video] ... rofl at that tag. (also, placeholder. or something.)

[It's some time later after this post goes up that Faye appears on the video feed. Her tired eyes are just watching him, and it's apparent that she's still pretty weak. As much as she hates being in this state. She doesn't really know what to say. Even if it's on some level that's less than deep down, she appreciates everything he's done, but of course, she's not exactly the type to go around handing out thank-you notes.]

[Video] It's true, don't deny it

[supermistfrog]

[Fran stares back, the dour expression hiding that tiny, tiny shred of concern he has for her state. He wouldn't have wanted an emotional or embarrassing thank-you anyway.]

Are you better yet?

[Video] It's not--- argh, fine. >:|

[p0ker_alice]

[Faye would shoot herself before she'd give that kind of emotional/embarrassing thank-you. But at this point, she's still tired, still weak, and she sighs somewhat. This is about as close to an honest answer as he's going to get. Maybe there's a part of her that feels she owes him that much.]

I've been worse.

[supermistfrog]

[He just stares at her with slight disdain.]

It must've been a pretty bad life you had back home if this isn't as bad.

[feel_nevermore]

Thank you.

[You helped a lot more than most people will ever guess. And Raven suspects you don't want people to know about it. But she knows. And she will remember.]

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[supermistfrog]

Che. Just don't let him do it again.

[You're welcome. And that's very true.]

[Video//Private//Unhackable]

[feel_nevermore]

[A smirk and a nod.] I shall try. But I'm afraid you might be giving me too much credit here, Fran... [It's Satan they're talking about after all.]

Would you still be up to that spar we talked about some time ago? [The smirk widens.] After you've showered of course because if not, I'd be able to smell you from a mile around... It just wouldn't be fair.

[supermistfrog]

Yeah, sure, I'm up for it. Maybe not today because this will take forever to wash off.
