Again.   [Prydain's voice is flat, curt] ....Umi's frequency's gone.

There's only so much of this I can take.

[sigh]

Sometimes I really...really...

This place- Hnh!

[There's a wet, fleshy sound, his blade making another slow tear.]

[not_riku_thx]

No, I'm just skinning. Not unless you want some- there's a lot of wolf here.

[nomnomguts]

Umi?

...

[Unhappy little-girl sigh.] Ah, I see.

[not_riku_thx]

Yeah, I'm sure you knew her half as well as we did.

[nomnomguts]

[Well excuse her she is trying to relate to these people right now. :|]

That attitude really isn't necessary, you know. I did like her after all.

[not_riku_thx]

Sure you did.

[prodigal_axe]

Umi...again?

Damn it!

[not_riku_thx]

Sorry...I hate bad news.

[prodigal_axe]

...

Well, it ain't your fault. [Deep breath. He wasn't in the best mood to start with.]

[Oh hello, you.

Don't mind us, we're just crouching in this shady alley here, stripping a wolf carcass already badly singed by Dark Firaga.]

[theforceoncrack]

[Sup, bb? We'll be over here looking suave and evil.]

[pursuestruth]

Umi-san...

[not_riku_thx]

Yeah. T noticed a few hours ago.
