[... Well. At least it wasn't an entire month this time, though Dominic's far from pleased at the situation. He sighs.]

I can't tell if my timing was perfect or the opposite, but it seems I've a lot to catch up on. Would anyone mind filling me in on what happened here during the past few weeks while I was out? This place is a mess...

[Uru can't help but feel sad, mostly for his situation and just the look he was giving..]

Don't worry Dominic-kun! Chances are they might come back, right?

[Sheepishly now, scratching at the back of her head.] It was probably good you missed the flood though, for a moment I thought something might have happened to you!

It's good to see you're alright though! [though, can't really say what with your friends that are gone.. :( ]

[unfearful]

Yeah, I suppose they might. Though for them, I'm not sure if they'd all appreciate that...

[A smile]

In any case, it's good to see you're safe too. What's this about a flood?

[vigorare]

Yeah, I guess not..

[hmm.. oh!]

There was this really bad flood, it wiped out a lot of the cottages and damaged a lot of places! But the locals are getting to fixing everything..

[unfearful]

The locals, huh? That's right-I guess we can't count on the Overlord for this one...

So just the locals, then? None of the foreigners?

[meanttobemama]

That's sweet of you. I'm sure he'd have appreciated it, even if he wouldn't have shown it.

[ She's still new to this whole disappearing thing. So Ray's kind of thinking that they disappeared in the flood... ]

There was a flood. It sounds to me you were lucky to have missed it. ... I'm sorry that you had to lose your friends, though.

[unfearful]

[A wry smile]

I take it you never met him, then.

[He shakes his head at that.]

It's a common thing. I'm sure they're happier back home, either way.

[meanttobemama]

No, can't say I've had the pleasure. He sounds like a pleasant person, though. [ Is that a hint of sarcasm? It might be ]

Ah... so then, they've managed to find a way home?

[unfearful]

Once you learn how to handle him-on second thought, not even then, actually.

[A pause]

I guess, though that's not really the best way of putting it. I doubt it was voluntary.

[knightofchanges]

Loyal to the end, hm? I wonder what his expression would have been like.

[unfearful]

[... Screw you, Ace.]

Well, I suppose there's one good thing that's come from this.

[knightofchanges]

[love you, too, Dominic.]

That I can't kill him?

[unfearful]

[No. Go away. :|]

Good to know that I don't have to explain things.

[soulsymmetrical]

A lot of things have happened. The only thing to note would be the flood, which is what caused the current damage to Somarium.

[unfearful]

... The flood?

[soulsymmetrical]

Yes. It occurred about two weeks ago.

[unfearful]

Must've been right after I fell asleep, then... Would you mind telling me about it?

[insorrow]

Well, I'd say you didn't miss much, but...

[Shrug. I'm in a tent.]

Least you didn't miss anything fun. If you gotta pick something to sleep through, that was a good one.

[unfearful]

[A light smile]

That seems to be the verdict from most people, but... well, I'm happy to be safe and sound, but I can't say I like not knowing for myself.

Good to see you're still alive, though.

[insorrow]

Well, I'm hanging in there. [And, apparently, returning that smile.]

And what's to miss? It raised like Hell, there was water everywhere, and we didn't even have a guy with a big wooden boat and two of every animal.

[unfearful]

[Wryly]

Makes you wonder what we're punished here for, then.

I've been told something about a singing ghost.
