003 [voice]

[erasedroyalty]

[ Nina's voice is freezing cold, frigid; one can hear the ice crusted onto her words. ]

Well. What a very interesting dream.

Are we often privy to everyone's most innermost thoughts, fears, and memories?

Either way, I think I shall not be returning to sleep tonight.

...I don't think either of us will be sleeping tonight, Nina.

[erasedroyalty]

[ Bitterly. ] So it seems.

[dragon_savior]

...Could I come see you? Being alone doesn't feel all that great right now.

[erasedroyalty]

...I'm sorry, but I don't think I'm in the mood to see anyone tonight.

[strategistmedic]

Once a month, just about.

[erasedroyalty]

I see. Then I shall try my hardest to not dream of anything personal next time. [ A dry laugh, and then a pause. ]

...Sakura. Are you alright?

[strategistmedic]

I don't think it's really an option. [Also dry.]

... I'm fine. I've been through these before. How about you, Miss Nina?

[erasedroyalty]

[ There's another pause, and when she speaks up, her voice is bitter from old scars torn open once again. ]

Did you see?

[myownmemory]

That's...what happens, with the tower. I still want to know what magic's doing it...or if they're using someone

[erasedroyalty]

I see that it has withdrawn from the shore.

And if it's magic... Then it's magic that I do not think I could ever comprehend.

[myownmemory]

Gone away again...I've been watching since the dawn.

[erasedroyalty]

But it'll be back.

[ The way she states it is most definitely not a question. ]

[masked_intents]

About once a month. Cool, huh?

[erasedroyalty]

I beg to differ.
