EVE would like to verify that Chung, Raven, and Rena are still present in the tower. Additionally, if any others from Elrios have arrived in her absence, and updated list is requested.

EVE was not able to bring back any samples, but... I can confirm that our world has died. I was unable to find any traces of life or El energy. Not even the demons remain. The red-haired boy... I was also unable to find.

If there are still those here who doubt the information we have been given about our worlds, EVE urges you to reconsider. Whatever force caused this, there is no way anything could have survived. Revival is not possible. This death is absolute.

I am sorry.
unkindnessof: never too many unreadable expressions either (deadly raid)

If it’s true. They claim that it’s only our souls that are pulled here. [His posture shifts slightly after this. It at once seems a little stronger, and yet wearier, and he takes a deep breath before stating quietly:]

No one else has arrived in your absence. My last encounter with either Rena or Chung was roughly a month ago, during an incident with closed space. It is possible... with the size of the tower, it may be that our paths simply hadn’t crossed since then. I know Rena is fond of the thirty-eighth floor, but I haven’t been able to find her there recently. I'm told some people can fall asleep for abnormal periods of time, but...

[He delivers this blandly, treating it like he would any other sitrep. Keep talking, focus on the present. This is a necessary thing. The present is what matters, and the forced objectivity distracts him from dwelling too long or hard on—]

The one responsible for aforementioned incident is a man that goes by Ganondorf. Red-orange hair, armored, largely-built, dark-skinned. Rather prone to... grand displays, at least from my brief experience. May have had co-conspirators, I’m not sure. There was one other... None were our so-called Administrators, who aren't that united of a front, apparently.

...I believe that's everything of note. I apologize if I'm telling you anything you already know. I can't be sure of what you do. [And with that, he basically is admitting he really wasn't keeping tabs on Eve before she disappeared.

But now that he's out of things to report, it's hard not to fall back into thoughts of Elrios. Elrios, which Eve had given up as a lost cause...

They are not- the most comfortable of companions, but whatever their relationship, he can at least be impressed by the Nasod Queen's drive to revive her race. Perhaps even admire, if he'd been more inclined to it.

But if she, who'd worked tirelessly since the moment of her reawakening by— to find a way to restore a civilization lost to the world, had no hope for their world... then, what, really?]

[There is no immediate response from Raven. He instead stares blankly out into space, at a panel of stained glass, before slowly heaving a long breath and slumping in his seat, left hand finding the edge of the pew and grasping it tightly.]

...Should it happen that I come across them before you or your Scouts do, I can promise the same. And I suppose... I am not too opposed to that course of action. It would be good if we all kept track of each other here...

[His voice is still that quiet, even monotone, but thin cracks spider from beneath his claw.] If you were able to contact Chung, then, at least... that's one less child to— worry about. [He'd been about to say 'mourn,' and only barely managed to catch himself at the last moment.]

...Is there anything else in particular you wanted to discuss?
unkindnessof: the class name is blade -master- (infinity cause)

[personal profile] unkindnessof 2013-04-07 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
...Mmm. More than just a cause, I think. [It's the closest he'll come to outright agreement. No replacement for those lost... but they comfortably fill in the empty spaces all the same.]

I did find it. I'd assumed you intended it to be that way... I wasn't sure of whether it was finished or not, as by the time I'd thought to ask about it you were nowhere to be found in the Tower, but it seemed to be fully functional, at least.

[He was actually quite pleased with its performance, not... that... one could tell right now, with him carefully controlling—and supressing—any flickers of emotion that might arise.]
unkindnessof: facepalming with the clawed prosthetic seems legit (breaking fist)

[personal profile] unkindnessof 2013-04-08 08:10 am (UTC)(link)
None that can't be adjusted to. It might be a bit heavier in the hilt than most I've used, though.

...Though you mean to say, this isn't yet entirely finalized? [Nasod tech. Nasod tech.]
unkindnessof: not really edan but he's onto something with the blood (shadow piercing)

[personal profile] unkindnessof 2013-04-09 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
[...should he be worried.]

I suppose... whatever you see fit to do will be fine. Should you wish to retool it, that is. I've a weapon from Chung that I can use in the meantime.
unkindnessof: so let's move on from that now (bursting blade)

[personal profile] unkindnessof 2013-04-13 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
[So you're saying he should be worried.]

He insisted. [Dryly.] In fact he would have been quite disappointed had I not allowed him the chance to try something of his own. [Actually he was intimidated by Eve, except when Raven tried to give him an out he was just sad instead . . .]

That isn't to say what he crafted was in any way inadequate, however... It's a perfectly serviceable blade, just... very unique.

[Or in other words he's just not used to his swords being grenade launchers. He's still not entirely sure how he's supposed to hold it when firing, for one thing- like a rifle? Like a sword, but just- point and pull the trigger? It has relatively little recoil, after all; is that how Chung meant it?

Why are gunblades such an inherently ridiculous concept? How does Veteran Commander even function?]
unkindnessof: linefaces forever (blade mastery)

[personal profile] unkindnessof 2013-04-15 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
... He constructed it somewhat similar to his own weapon, I think... or at least had it in mind during the process. [That, meaning:]

It fires grenades.

[Right back atcha.]
unkindnessof: if you use this skill i'm judging you (magnum blaster)

[he never did stop being a test subject did he

He carries it on him- both swords, yes, that's the wonder of wearing a number of ridiculous belts- so it's hardly a moment before he manages to shift and remove the sheath containing the gunblade to place it next to Eve.

Regardless of whatever it is that Eve does with it, he'll just lean back and stare up at the stained glass for the time being.]

Some warning would have been appreciated before you performed a practical test.

[personal profile] unkindnessof 2013-04-15 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
Well, now you know that it works, and rather readily at that.

[what ever happened to danger close

if nothing else it's a good temporary distraction from heavy thoughts.]
