I see... I apologize. We seem to only talk when bad things happen.

[ooc: XDD]

[voice]

[corrinesbell]

Yeah, well...no news is good news?

[voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

...In our case, I think so.

[pause]

I'm here to talk to, if you ... feel the need whenever.

[voice]

[corrinesbell]

Not...sure I can talk, this time.

But you wanna...tell me what's b-been going on here?

[voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

Aha... Ha. I think... Someone who can talk better probably should explain.

I'm not in very good shape, myself. Because of this experiment.

[voice]

[corrinesbell]

What happened?

[voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

It's ... complicated. Suffice it to say, I went crazy. Caesar ... had to stab me.

It's all right now, though... Other than him being affected, now.

[voice]

[corrinesbell]

Should end soon...right?

[voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

Yes. ...But the damage is already done. The Malnosso are reducing us to shadows of emotion.

[voice]

[corrinesbell]

You...y-you can't give in to...their stupid experiment. ...N-Not you, Albert.

[voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

No, no... I don't intend to. In fact, I think ... my resolve is stronger than ever.

[voice]

[corrinesbell]

Good. Glad to hear it.

[voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

And you, Sheena? Will you be all right?

[ooc: Randomly, I thought Albert/Sheena way back when they first met. Fufufu for sexy ninja types.]

[voice]

[corrinesbell]

Probably, yeah. ...I kinda...have to be.

[[ooc: Oh, indeed, indeed. Surprised no one said it in itsuki-mun's crazy meme thing.]]

[voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

...Have to?

[ooc: Just about everything else showed up there, though. :o]

[voice]

[corrinesbell]

Yeah. ...Messed up too much already, you know? I can't...screw up here, too.

[[ooc: Man, if she weren't so canonly in love/hate with Zelos, she'd definitely consider it. Hoyes.]]

[voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

...I won't pry. But I understand. It's ... sometimes, Luceti offers chances best taken.

[ooc: Albert doesn't get much of anyone other than Caesar. I think I'm resigning myself to not having him with anyone. XD]

[voice]

[corrinesbell]

Yeah. ...I see that, yeah.

[[ooc: They can at least be friends? Doesn't seem like he has many of those either.]]

[voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

Feel better soon, Sheena.

[ooc: Too true. Lots of held-at-arm's-length acquaintances, for sure. Maybe if they find more in common beyond "lol we've both been abducted and intimately experimented on"?]
