... Where is he?

This is a lot of people at once.

Even for Discedo, it's extreme.

I've been avoiding them too long...

... I'll be back in a few hours.

[ooc; Raiden will be arriving at the theatre shortly. Commentlog y/y.../n?]

Hn.

Strange that both of them would vanish so close together.

Hnnh.

[The general sounds of battle continue throughout the transmission. Laughing, explosions... blood splatters, etc.]

... There's still so many.

Chii, stay indoors for now.

... An Eyepatch.

You certainly have a sense of humour, Discedo.

Is this supposed to be a pirate costume...?

Whiskey?

And a scarf.

... A gift?

I won't don't can't drink anymore, but I appreciate the gesture. Thank you.

If Johnny the gift-giver wouldn't mind... Fai? Would you like this? I think you could use it more than me.

That was...

I am no one's puppet. I don't appreciate being manipulated like that. Accident or not.

Hn. I think this is just a sign that I've left it too long. I should've had my chip removed after the last time. It's just a matter of finding someone who's capable of doing so.

... Chii, I need to apologise. I didn't mean to make you worry.

[The entry opens with the familiar -bzzzt- of someone being shocked by the comms, followed by a a short gasp/grunt of pain and surprise. There's a long silence after this before Raiden speaks]

... It's easy to forget about the threat of physical pain with a body like this.

I'm not very social, I guess this is a punishment.

Hnnh. Strange. I haven't seen this since...

...!

[There's a long silence followed by the sound of glass hitting the floor and breaking.]

Ro- why would they...?

[More silence until the recording times out]
