So, remember when I warned you that while you were gone, you were going to have to contact me twice a day?
And remember how I said that if you didn't, you'd have to face the consequences?
And remember how you haven't even left me a single message today?
[Flick on the camera, and have a nice shot of the couch. Reupholstered in pink. Complete with doilies. It's a grandma's couch now, the rough, hard fabric, the crinkly and sweaty plastic sheet over it. Yes. Your beloved couch.
[And is that a shot of the windows in the living room? And your boxers being used as curtains for all of Anatole to see? Why, I think it is.]
So, I guess I'd better come looking for you, like I promised...
I thought you would like a little "redecorating". [Is there emphasis on those words, etched in a dangerous slice of venom? Maybe. Just maybe.]
Oh, and those? I ripped the old curtains, and those were the first things I found. A lot of women in the neighborhood seem to like them, or at least, they keep laughing at them. What do you think?
[Pout. Dammit, stop leaving him behind!]
I told you what would happen if you didn't check in. I shouldn't have even let you go out for this long on your own. I only did it because--
[Because you let me do it. Once.]
This was a warning. Do it again, and I'm dragging you back.
[ Yep, he knew this was about that. At least he'd been expecting it, so it didn't come as a surprise. ]
Alright. [ Do I get a pat on the back or less attitude if I show up five minutes early? ] Do I need to bring anything, or just myself?
[ Because he knows this is about his punishment...but he doesn't know what the punishment entails yet. ]
[ OOC: Also, is this "tomorrow morning" as in today, the 30th? Since the comment was originally posted the 29th? Or tomorrow-tomorrow as in the 1st of May? ♥ ]

[ The volume of his voice instantly drops, and he takes a moment to look around, to make sure he isn't drawing unwanted attention to himself. ]
...Shiva, that thing is uglier than...
Hey! Why are my boxers in the window?!
...
......
Not cool, man. Not. Cool.
[ A huff. ]
Look, I'm...almost done. So just hold off, okay? Please?

What's to laugh about? They're perfectly fine boxers. They ought to be, anyway...aren't they the ones I borrowed from you when I first arrived?
[ A disapproving grunt can be heard. You don't even have to listen closely for it. It's audible for your convenience! ]
...Dammit, Zack. I don't need you to hold my hand. I'm not--
[ --in the same mental place you were when I let you go. ]
Man...you'd have a hard time finding me even if you tried. Just sayin'.

[Not surprising.]
...I wonder if it's a good one.
[The chance that it might not be? ...Also not surprising.]

So I was thinking about. Maybe. Re-hiring him.

[ Didn't expect that, did ya? ]
On one condition.
You agree step up your personal training. And never let your guard down around him.
And, one more thing. You program me in for speed dial. I want to be available to you at the press of a single button.

[ He'd do it in person, but he hates Dismas and there are other concerns right now. He doesn't dare let the Outpost out of his sight. ]

What can I do ya for, Byakuya?
[ Although, come to think of it, he thinks he knows what this is about already... ]

You are to report to Outpost One tomorrow morning, precisely at eight. This is not negotiable.

[Still looking?]
[For Zack, numbskull.]
[Ahh. Right.]
Wh-what are you doing out there? Are you by yourself?!
[He shakes his Forge a little to try and dispel the static.]

It's hard to tell ▒f I'm alone. [Self, just stop being vague. Cut to the chase and spit it out now.]
I followed what I thought was---
---it may have been the mist wearing his skin.
[That's hard to tell, too.]
▒ was told I'd never find him.

Please.
[Hear that? That's him imploring you, begging.]
I'm coming to find you.
[Before something really bad happens.]

Kunsel. It's important.
