Comments

[circusmisfit]

[He watches most of it in silence, if only in morbid curiousity. Even as the dream ends, he's unable to make a serious comment to it. It's clearly a fight, but he's seen more than a fair share of fights. But this one seems slightly more dramatic in comparison.]

.... right to the head, huh? Seems like it would be harder to kill you than just that, though.

[Times like this are when it would help if Gareki was slightly less emotionally awkward. :|]

[kyudousha]

[Maybe. :|b They can be emotionally awkward together.

She huffs.]

It's not like I got to choose which non-lethal part of the head the sword got to chop up, okay?

[circusmisfit]

[Sounds like a plan.

.... and at the mention of the sword, a certain blond, sparkly face comes to mind. And at that thought, there will be some incoherent mumbling on his end.]

Have you people never heard of a gun?

[kyudousha]

[Ffft- She huffs.]

Only if you're an idiot with an eyepatch and an attitude problem. Just about everything else is more efficient than a gun, really.

If you want to kill someone, you fry them.

[wantedtostudy]

[She's seen the man like that before.]

...you were fighting... Raven?

[kyudousha]

[... Jaina. She doesn't know what to feel about this, showing weakness to this woman.]

... He's kinda hard to recognize, I guess, but... yeah.

[wantedtostudy]

[Oh please, Rita. :| You've seen her at worse. AND SPEAKING OF WHICH :P]

I've seen him like that before, once.

[kyudousha]

[Something like that. :/ AND YES MA'AM. ON IT MA'AM.

A grit of her teeth. It's like a nightmare turned to life, really.]

... who was he killing?

[not_bouncing]

[She watches, silently. She recognizes everyone, even Raven. She frowns, so many pieces of layed out before her without even a few wanting to fit together]

Rita.....

[kyudousha]

[... Estelle? ... Damn. The one person-]

... It's just a nightmare, Estelle.

[not_bouncing]

[Nice try there. We're not that naive...]

....Is that why you hate Mr. Raven so much?

[kyudousha]

[Damn. :/ She hesitates.]

... That's not all there is to it.

[charientisms]

[You saw this coming. Break watches this with his typical smirk. Because, of course, the best time to draw information out from someone is after their defenses have been weakened, and Break think that this likely did a good job of that. And...He's curious. Very curious.]

My, Rita, I should say that was quite the dream.

...If it were a dream, of course. However, since I think it was not, I shall instead ask who it was that appears to have killed you.

[kyudousha]

[Yes, yes we did. /sob Dammit, Break. We didn't want you to see this. :/ The pile of blankets wobble.]

... Shut up. Like hell this is any of your business.

[charientisms]

[He ignores that in favor of continuing his questioning.]

I do wonder, however, if you truly died there. How fascinating that would be~

[kyudousha]

[B| A hand shoots out to grasp at the dreamberry. She looks wholly unamused.]

... Didn't I just say it was none of your business?

[Voice - or lack thereof]

[radiant_will]

[Well damn, for someone who cares so little about death, this girl sure is involved with it her fair share. Any subtle elements to the dream pass Kallen by, but the image is striking enough that she presses her Dreamberry to contact Rita on some kind of sympathetic or irrational impulse.

And Rita is treated with a dragging silence because Kallen still can't think of anything to say.]

[Voice]

[kyudousha]

[She sees the in-coming call. Checks the ID. Hears the silence.

And returns it.

For she also doesn't really know what to say, and... well, the awkward silence is so much easier... isn't it?

A soft sigh.]

[Voice]

[radiant_will]

[She probably should have seen this coming. But now what to do? She could hang up, keep avoiding this, but she's getting tired of that.

Still, she's nervous. She has no idea how this conversation could play out, but--]

…Hey.

[Just 'hey' is all she can muster.]

[Voice]

[kyudousha]

[On the other end, a certain tsundere echoes those sentiments. A stilted pause, and then...]

... Yeah.

[... okay, this isn't going to get anywhere. D: She takes a deep breath in.]

So... um. You [pause] okay?
