[There's a very low, well-stifled whimper. North clears his throat, there's a moment of silence while he rubs his eyes, and then comes on sounds absolutely heartbroken.]

Sh-Shi--Shi-i-lo--

[Clears his throat again.]

Sh-Shilo's g-g-gone.

J-Just--just go-one. Gone.

She's n-not--a-and I tried--b-but she s-s-still--

[North chokes and at this ( Read more... )

[The comm clicks on in the middle of a very interesting song that North is singing along with. It's almost impressive, actually, apparently kittyboy has a decent singing voice.]--please take me away from here ( Read more... )

[Locked from Shilo // 80% Unhackable]

H-Hey, uhm, question.

S-Stupid, teenager-y que--question.

Say someone l-likes you. A lot. And--And you care about th-them, but not the--the same way. And y-you've told them this over and o-ov--over, but--but they just won't let it go.

What--uhm--what do--what would you do? In that sit-situation ( Read more... )

[North takes a deep breath. He sounds tired and relieved and very, very happy.]

[Crash, scramble scramble, creak.]

--o-ohgod--

--GET OFF ME YOU FILTHY LITTLE--

[CRASH. The sound of things being thrown about a room, a door being yanked open far too hard.]

AGH--oh NO you don't--

[There's something being scraped across the floor--and is that a shower curtain being thrown open? That's definitely the sound of a shower ( Read more... )

[All that this transmission consists of it a loud, inhuman scream, some frantic breathing, and the words--]

--H-Holy FUCK--

[--over and over. This fine weekend finds kittyboy North switched out with Ripa, the Arbiter. Holy fuck is right.]

[The voice that comes over the comm will still register as being very much NOT North to anyone familiar with him, but the deep, rich tone has the same slight edge of anxiety he usually speaks with.]

Just a question, for anyone who's changed. Or...anyone who feels like answering who remembers who they are.

[He clears his throat.]If you could ( Read more... )

...Well crap.

[Deep voice, totally stutter-free.]

Guess they weren't kidding back at the facility when they said I was getting too big to sell.

Dammit, "unaesthetic" doesn't come close.

[Pause. Heavy sigh]

My collar doesn't even fit. This sucks.
