[Elicia's sitting curled up on the couch with a blanket pulled up close to her head, looking a little worried. Because lord, it's a scary world out there right now, what with this fog and all that.]

It's getting really scary outside... A-and there are voices! I hope they're okay....!

[She stops abruptly, listening and suddenly hearing-w-was it?! It

Elicia, no!

[A little bit later, Elicia will return to the journal, looking a touch depressed.]

...Big sis...?

Sorry... I just wanted to help her... but it's not her...

[Voice]

[crytearsofjoy]

I know, Elicia. I know.

[...] How about I tell you a story, to help you feel better?

Re: [Voice]

[asobouyo]

A story...? A story about what?

[ahappylie]

Wait for your father! Don't go out there alone!

Re: voice

[asobouyo]

[A little, sheepish voice'll return in a bit.]

I-I didn't... I didn't go outside...

[She's still a little crushed by the thought of not at least looking outside to see if her mother was out there, but if it's not really her-but it had to be! What other reasoning was there...]

.... [He breathes a sigh of relief.]

I know how much you might have wanted to go, but your papa would have been so worried about you.

Re: voice

[asobouyo]

I know... Sorry that I left...

I was just-I just wanted to make sure mama wasn't alone outside...

[voice]

[corrinesbell]

No! Don't go outside!

Re: [voice]

[asobouyo]

[And she's back after a while.]

But I heard her, Ms. Sheena... I really did...

[voice]

[corrinesbell]

It's-- ...It's not real, okay? The stuff you hear out there isn't real.

[too bad she doesn't listen to her own advice]

Are you okay?

Re: [voice]

[asobouyo]

I-I'm okay. Something tricked me, that's all...

[Of course, it's impossible to mask the disappointment or sadness.

She pauses.]

Did you hear stuff, too...?

[ action ] I am the slowest thing adlfjs

[idkmybffroy]

Elicia!

[ No. No, no, no, please do not do this to him. Don't mind Papa, he's just the man in the pink bunny costume who hauls ass to catch up and get hold of you. ]

Re: [ action ] At least you're not a Slowbro! :U

[asobouyo]

[CAN. NOT. STOP.]

Papa, can't you hear her?! She's outside! We gotta help mama!

[Of course, she's not quite as fast as her father, but she'll squirm and struggle nonetheless when he does manage to nab her.]

We gotta!

[ action ] Yaaay~

[idkmybffroy]

[ He does hear her. He's heard her and he's been seeing her on and off all day- which he's hoping is a big clue towards things not being what they seem. ]

We can't. Mama's not really out there.

[ He really, really hopes he's not wrong. ]

Re: [ action ]

[asobouyo]

[She's not entirely sure of that, so she still kicks her feet in the hopes that he'll decide to put her down.]

But it's her voice! I know it is-I promise I'm not lying! I'm not!

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

Elicia! Wait! Stop! Don't go out by yourself! [And heading for those stairs in case papa doesn't stop you.]

Re: [Voice]

[asobouyo]

[She doesn't quite make it to the stairs, but feel free to hear the conversation with her father in the above thread before she finally returns to her journal.]

I-I didn't go... I'm not gonna go, I promise...

[Voice/Filtered]

[goldenglasses]

[Vash will head back in when he's sure your papa has you. And... let's put a filter against Legato up now.]

Okay, that's good. It's dangerous to go outside at night alone.

Re: [Voice/Filtered]

[asobouyo]

I know...

But I really did hear her, I promise...
