[Inhale. Exhale.
Breathing... and a roar of shock and agony tears through the frigid air.
The convulsion activates the old communicator in what's left of a tattered uniform vest pocket.]

- AAAAGH!

[Heaven only knows how long this man has been wandering around the area like this... and it isn't the first time that he's had to stop for a moment to ( Read more... )

[If someone wasn't out there before, they are now.

Rather, a certain Arabian princess was breaking both curfew and "buddy system" rules, instead risking the horrifying emotions that bubbled forth from her heart and the icy chill of the air to hurry over to Joe West. Her sole friend resided in there... perhaps company with Meg would soothe the ache in her soul.

However, she stops in her tracks, a voice clearly penetrating the deathly still air that weighed down on the Academy. She was busted, found out. Would they send her back to her room? Would she be left alone -yet again- to suffer in loneliness?

But wait... that certainly wasn't the voice of any staff members she knew, let alone any of the students. Her brows furrow as she squints out into the darkness, trying to locate the sound of the voice...]

Who is out there?

[Who's out there?

He stops abruptly, only half-expecting to've gotten any response at all. But that isn't what has him frozen in his tracks. The question echoes slowly upon itself in his mind...

Hesitating, his gaze drops under the weight of profound confusion.
Who... am I?]

I don't...

[Somewhat more quietly -]

... I don't know.

[He doesn't know? Wait, did she hear him correctly?

It was eerily silent out here in the Mist, but for all she knows, maybe it was playing tricks on her mind.

Looking towards Joe West, she weighs her options in her mind; however, the more she finds herself thinking that heading straight for Meg would be the best option, the more she wanted to find the source of the voice. It's not until his words truly set in -all too familiar words- that she takes new steps...

Away from the path and further into the Mist.]

Where are you, then?

[An honest answer would be that he isn't completely sure of that, either... but the interaction is a welcome distraction from the cycle of torment that he's been confined to.

Then again, for all he knows, this may be some kind of new and elaborate trap. For several heavy seconds, his gaze fixates on the weapon in his hand... the only real, solid thing he's experienced in what feels like an eternity. Astoundingly, he isn't fearful, exactly... He's just tired. Very... very tired.]

How do I know this isn't a trick?

[That voice...Aqua knows it too well, but dare she leave the safety of the dorms to investigate? Maybe the Mist is trying to trick her, trying to drag her back to that fake paradise.

Her heart is heavy, but she forces herself to leave her room to check it out. She holds her wayfinder tightly in her hands as she races out of the building.]

Terra? Terra! [She doesn't know which is worse...hoping this is a trick, or that it's her best friend out there. Whatever the outcome, there would be pain and heartache for her.]

[Something... someone... shouting in the distance.
He can't quite make out what's being said, exactly, but there's a ringing clarity to the voice itself. Something about it strikes a profound chord within his heart - a chord so profound that he actually drops his weapon.

Ends of the Earth disappears in a flurry of light after colliding with the ground.]

[He shouldn't answer. Something that elicits that kind of paralyzing emotion from him can't be good. Surely... surely it's another ruse.

But he can't help himself. No amount of discipline or self control can possibly keep his mouth shut.]

Hello?

[Come on, Terra. There's no way anyone could have heard that.
A bit louder this time - ]

I'm over here!! Hello?!

[At first Aqua's hoping it's just an illusion. Her best friend wouldn't get caught up in the Mist like this. He was stronger than that. But if it was him...

Answer..just call back or vanish.. the thought goes through her mind as her feet continue to hit the ground with each step. She looks down at her wayfinder only to see it glow, he's here..there's no denying that..

And his voice only confirms it.]

Terra! [Aqua calls louder, running as fast as she can. Finally she spots him and her heart just drops..]

Terra....[That's all she can bring herself to say. ]
