[voice] Is ♞ even on the network's character map III: ..is it safe to look?

[beknightedheroine]

<sub>[Forward dated to the 13th.]

[The recording begins with dead air for a few tense seconds, before a young girl's voice picks up.]</sub>

..so the network's stopped streaming all of that stuff now. If I'd gotten on and it was still happening, I don't know what I'd do. _{[Ignoring that she'd seen some people that were in the labyrinth out and walking about the tower again herself, but that had been a very.. fuzzy week for her.]}

--That's not the point of this, though. Um. Roxas, did I faint or something, the other day? And...



...Madoka. Are you really here? I'm.. if you are, I'm sorry for saying that you were just a dream...! _{Please, please really be here.}

['Kay, so Sayaka? Lina's face is all up in the camera.]

Hey. Hey. What do you know about mermaids?

[Locked]

[beknightedheroine]

--Mermaids?

I dunno, they wear clamshells for bras?

_{[Taking her a minute to pick up on the relation to why you might be asking, sorry Lina.]}

[Locked foreeeverrrrrrrrr]

[dragonspooker]

Lemme amend that. What do you know about musical mermaids that don't hang out in the water?

[Sayaka's getting fixed with a really suspicious look by now. Unfotunately, there is no Good Cop to counterbalance her here...]

[and ever and ever and ever]

[beknightedheroine]

...seriously, you just described the plot of a Disney movie.

...and handwaved because I am good at paying attention to network status. Oops.

[dragonspooker]

[Face, meet palm.]

I don't know what a disney or a movie is! All I know is there was some crazy monster mermaid here the other day that had a lot of similarities to someone writing crazy nonsense about mermaids in their journal!

[Yeah, she don't care about admitting that right now. Getting to the bottom of what happened is more important.]

BDb forward dating solves everything

[beknightedheroine]

..So you DID read it, you jerk! Like I'm gonna try and make sense of anything you say now!

Hey, you know what? I got somewhere to be, anyway. Byyyyyyye.

[dragonspooker]

THAT'S NOT IMPORTANT! GET BACK HERE! I WANT AN--

[Blooooop.

A loud shriek of annoyance is heard in one of the dorm floor terminal alcoves, and is followed by an explosion and the scattering of terminal pieces.]

[disbear]

[Oh, boy, does he remember that voice.]

Upupupupu...

[beknightedheroine]

Yeah, that's a creepy laugh. You want an award or something?

[disbear]

I know a secret.

[beknightedheroine]

...


Weeeeeellllll?

You can't just taunt me like that leave me hanging without a hint, creepy laugh guy!

[disbear]

Hint? Are you asking for a hint? Hm, how do I put this... well, okay. Let's talk about despair. What do people do when they're in despair?

[beknightedheroine]

...Despair?

_{[A few days ago, she might have rambled to him at length about her thoughts on despair and how it balances out with people's happiness. As she is now, though... that kind of thing seems silly.]}

They mope around a lot and need to be cheered up by other people, I guess.

[lamentless]

Sayaka

We have to talk

In person

[CAN YOU SENSE THE CONCERN FROM HERE?]

[text]

[beknightedheroine]

wait wait

_{[She hastily sets up a lock.]}

okay now tell me where to find you.

[locked]

[lamentless]

I'm in the 3rd floor library

I'll meet you by the start of the science section

[And he'd be there too, anxious and messing with the strings wrapped around his finger.]

[--> switching to action]

[beknightedheroine]

_{[He'll be waiting for a while, but Sayaka does eventually arrive, looking far more lively than when he last saw her - and far more curious.]}

--Hey, over here, Roxas! _{[She waves, then - conversely to what she said, runs up to him.]}

What's up?

[actionsads]

[lamentless]

[At first, he just stood there and stared at her.

Then, he went for her hands, grasping her palms to look at her fingers- seeking out the ring. This wasn't a time for talking, this was a time for confused action!!!!!!!!]

rox ;_;

[beknightedheroine]

Eh, Roxas--?

_{[Sayaka lets him with some reluctance don't you know you're touching a zonbi, but gets an alarmed look when she realizes he's looking for her soul gem. She specifically fans out her fingers so that he can see that yeah, it's there?]}

..why are you looking for that?

[text] because fuq da police

[morituramfides]

I got a pretty good idea.

Anyways, I got something for ya. Not pills this time.

Lemme know when you want it.

[text]

[beknightedheroine]

[text]

[morituramfides]

I'll give it to ya if you want. I'll be in the library for awhile when you get the chance.

[beknightedheroine]

oh, cool, that's the way i'm going already. i'll see if i catch you.

[caliginous]

I WAS HOPING TEREZI WAS PULLING MY FROND WHEN SHE SAID THAT SHIT WAS STREAMING.
UGH.
WERE YOU STUCK IN THERE TOO?

wow i'm late

[beknightedheroine]

..No, I was still on this end. I freaked out a couple days in and didn't really see anything past that, though.

_{[That's about as neutrally as it's possible to word anything to do with that week.]}
