[ The post started out with an exhasperated sound and a grunt, followed by a loud clang. Sorry Angeal, looks like your sword is getting abused. Actually cursing under his breath and (much more gently) there was a second clang before a relieved sigh. ]

That...got way heavier than I remember it being.

[ After a few moments, there was a soft scratch

It's only August? Whoa, when did it snow?!

It's a toy wrapped in string that, if ones talented at it, can swing the toy down and use the centripetal force to make it return to the persons hand. It's pretty neat, but some people have a knack for it. Reno calling me a yo-yo is really a joke since, well, I've been here lots of times. I'm not sure how many times before, but I remember the last time I was here.

[inheritedsword]

Huh, I see..Hey, so the ash rain wasn't that long ago, now was it?

Not that I've seen of, but they are pretty fun! I'm no good at them myself, but I've seen some of the kids playing with them in the slums.

[Genesis is so angry at your fail.]

And once again, it seems as though you've missed the majority of a dire situation completely. Quite the useful little thing, aren't you?

[inheritedsword]

[ It's not his fault, seriously! At least not this time! ]

It's not like I asked to be sent home and brought back like this! What did I miss this time?

[ You're not the only one miffed, Gen. Zack's not to happy to hear he missed something else. ]

[needsmorefiagra]

[Still angry but now there's a certain smugness to his words. Shall we make Zack feel bad? Oh, yes. Lets.]

Let's just say your mentor could have used your help. Such a shame you weren't here when he was in need of aid.

[inheritedsword]

[ It's not enough that not long ago, he just killed him with his own two hands, is it, Genesis? This is twisting the knife already in his gut.

He actually sucked in air as if physically struck, before his voice went a bit cold. ]

What happened.

[honoreverything]

I am. I always have been here.

But I'm tired, Zack. I'll catch up with you later if I can't keep a conversation up.

[ Gdmnit, Angeal. Using text?! If he wasn't in such a sharp state of nothing-but-nerves, he'd comment about it. He needs two hands to text and one to speak and carry that precious sword. ]

I need to see you now.

[ Even if he says 'no', Zack will kick that door in if he has to. He didn't like what he heard so far from Genesis, and there was no reason for him to lie about Angeal's wellbeing. ]

[honoreverything]

[Well, it's not like he can talk well with that acid rain induced asthma.]

I can't handle seeing anyone right now, I'm sorry. I'm not sure where you've been Zack, but welcome back. It's been lonely without you.

[And Zack can knock down all the doors he wants, Angeal isn't home. Not that Zack would know that till it's too late, but.]

[ Everything happens while he's gone >:| ]

Then at least tell me where you are so I know you're safe. Genesis said something but didn't elaborate. [ In otherwords, he's having a fun filled moment of telling me what a failure I am. He'll probably look in every. single. room. in Horton. before outright begging Angeal to tell him where he is. ]

I can tell you about home when I see you again. [ I need to apologize. Five hundred times over. Even that wouldn't be enough. ]

[nomakothx]

I think it does.

[inheritedsword]

Kind of ironic that I'm terrible at using a yo-yo.

Can you tell me what's been going on since I left? Last I remember, it just started raining ash; now there's snow everywhere!

[text/private]

[mercifulsmile]

He's here! Are you his pal?

[text/private]

[inheritedsword]

Oh good..

Yeah, he's my mentor. Do you happen to know where he is?

[text/private]

[mercifulsmile]

Oh! I understand. I'm sorry, but I don't know where he is. Gen might know. Wherever he is, Angeal's sure to be there too.

[text/private]

[inheritedsword]

It's alright, I--Gen? You mean Genesis? ....You're right, he might know, but I don't know if he'll tell me.

[ Pretending the convo with Gen didn't happen yet for this conversation >w> ]
