Sixteenth Duel [Accidental Voice Post, Japanese]

[to_blossom]

[The communicator is bumped on with an audible clatter as the pocket of her jacket is slammed roughly into a wall, and the sound of something metal can be heard falling to the ground with a clatter.]

Ouch... It's so cool and ░░░░░░░m the fog. My fingers are starting to get sore from c░░░░░░░░ ░░░ sword all this time.

[She takes a breath, letting out a deep sigh.] How can it be this hard...? ░░░░░░░ is only a block away, and I swore that I would ░░░░░░ for them.

...

Better hurry.


[After a moment, she leans down to pick up the fallen weapon with a grunt, and then proceeds to simply keep on walking forward through the dense fog.]

[[ooc Not as planned.]]

...are you alright?

[powerfail.livejournal.com]

You went outside...?

[1/?]

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

What...?

[2/3]

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

But I didn't even--

...oh.

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

I'm fine, Alpha.

Just a little tired. ...and kind of hungry.

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh.

[...]

I thought it would be a short walk, but... I guess I messed up, huh?

[seasaltissacred.livejournal.com]

M-Miss Utena? Are you okay?

You're not out in the fog, are you? It's really thick and people have been getting lost in it...

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm okay. Just a little tired of walking.

[. . .]

I'm sorry.

2/2

[seasaltissacred.livejournal.com]

Well...at least be careful, okay? I don't really like the looks of this fog. Not that I've actually been out in it. Hayner would tan my hide if I even set one foot out the front door, I bet.

[Magoichi sighs.]

What is with you ladies and going out in this fog?

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

I will. I promise.

To be honest... I never expected that I would end up outside like this either. But after a friend of mine got hurt, I guess my feelings came ahead of... well... everything else.

I really am sorry.

[seasaltissacred.livejournal.com]

It's okay, I was just worried, that's all. I haven't been outside myself but I've been looking at the network...

Aren't you scared?

[powerfail.livejournal.com]

It's really dangerous out there.

Did you go to find someone... there's a lot of lost people. Maybe that's how they all got lost.

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

...and here I was starting to think that mine was a special case.

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

You... don't want to be stuck outside, Pence. It's really creepy.

Not really. ...Well, maybe a little. But even though I brought my sword with me, I've barely been running into anything out here this whole time.

[heyprettygurl.livejournal.com]

Granted Gracia didn't mean to go out, but it happened anyway.

So do I get to play tag in the fog with you too?

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

Not to mention disorienting. I'll be lucky enough to find a building that I can recognize in this fog.

Mm. You could say that.

[seasaltissacred.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've heard about a lot of the stuff that's going on.

...really? Wait a minute, that can't be right. Normally there's monsters all over the place. Why would they start hiding now? Hang on, if they're hiding, then that means...

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

I didn't think that I would be going out either, but-... Here I am.

Latimir or Gohl... I just want to be able to find somewhere where I can rest for a bit. I'm tired of walking around in circles.

If you manage to find me in this fog, then I can't say that I won't appreciate the company for once.

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

I don't think I could even begin to explain it.

Mm. I'm positive.

...? What is it?

[seasaltissacred.livejournal.com]

[ Do you hear that sound, Utena? This is the sound of the gears in Pence's head turning. This is also his voice sounding more serious than normal. ]

...I don't like this. Something's wrong.

[ There's some serious edge-to-voice going on here. ]

[latteheart.livejournal.com]

Ah, that's no good. You're not...outside in this weather, are you?

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

Pence, I'm not following.

Does it have something to do with how I haven't been running into a lot of monsters out here?

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

...I'm sorry.
