....Antrim.

Why did it have to be Antrim?

Comments

[flailingbento]

So much for celebrating Long Night.

[voice]

[flight_15]

No kidding. Even on the Amadeus, we never went there. I never wanted to go there.

[sigh.]

Guess it can't be helped. If there's even a chance that transmission's real, we can't turn a blind eye. But that doesn't mean I have to like it.

[voice]

[flailingbento]

If even half the stories are true...

Maybe a few wards would be a good idea, after all.

[voice]

[flight_15]

I don't have a clue what's true or not. All I know is, something bad happened there, and if that radio signal's anything to go by, that place is still trouble.

If we're lucky, it's just ordinary monsters. But this close to Long Night? I wouldn't count on it.

[son_of_the_lake]

You're headed for Antrim?

So are we.

[flight_15]

You are? Why? The ship suddenly turn humanitarian when I wasn't looking? I didn't think it was the type to check out distress calls from dangerous places.

[son_of_the_lake]

There was a distress call?

[Ichigo /unhackable]

No, the first mate said something about a place to lay low for a while. *ingenuously* I can't imagine why.

[flight_15]

Yeah. It was short and broken up, but it sounded like a little girl.

[Hisoka /unhackable]

Oh, great. What kind of trouble did that ship get into this time?

...it wouldn't have anything to do with explosions, would it?

[Voice | Ichigo and Kimi | Unhackable]

[tiny_tinker_toy]

...You guys are going to Antrim, too?

[Voice | Rikku and Watanoodle | Unhackable]

[flight_15]

Yeah. I heard from Hisoka that Serenity was headed there.

Why are you guys going?

[Voice | Ichibro and Watanoodle | Unhackable]

[tiny_tinker_toy]

Ship stuff, I think.

I don't wanna go. I hate ghosts, almost as much as needles, snakes, and thunderstorms.

[Voice | Scaredycat and Watanoodle | Unhackable]

[flight_15]

Not all of them are that bad.

...can't speak for Antrim, though. But don't worry. I've been fighting ghosts for years. If there's any spooks in that town, I can handle them.

[causink_trouble]

Ve gets to check out Antrim und hyu'z gun be around again? Today chust keeps gettink better!

Und it started vith explosions, so dot's sayink zumtink.

[flight_15]

.........hey, Jenka. You know, it didn't really hit me that you'd be there too until just now.

...actually, I'm feeling better about our chances in Antrim already. It might be handy to have a Jäger or two around.

[causink_trouble]

*laughs* If Hy knew hyu vos so bad at rememberink pipples, Hy would haff kept it a surprize und not said anytink!

Thenks, keed. Hyu should be plenty uzeful too.

[Voice / Locked to Ichigo]

[fanged_brat]

You're goin' there too?

[Her voice is, as ever, confrontational and harsh, but there is a note of concern present. She's fairly sure Ichigo can guess why.]

[Voice / Locked to Hiyori]

[flight_15]

Yeah. Looks like there's no helping it.

Shit.

...how much trouble's it giving you so far? Think you'll be able to keep it under control?

[Voice / Locked to Ichigo]

[fanged_brat]

If I'm bein' honest - no. I mean, I'm gonna try, but it ain't gonna be easy. It took me as long to get mine under control in the first place as it took you.

She's...

[She sighs harshly]

I'm gonna ask Jenka if she'll stay with me if she ain't doin' anything. If nothin' else, she should be able to put me down if I lose it.

[Voice / Locked to Hiyori]

[flight_15]

...I'm not saying having Jenka as a backup isn't a good idea, but there's someone I know who can draw wards and seals and stuff. He's the one who got me back under control this time last year.

It's not foolproof. But it might make it harder for yours to take over.
