[Emil is not in a good mood. Raven, Repede and Rena have gone home, Yuri is still kidnapped, and Ted is off who-knows-where; the note on his door didn't say. All of this has left Emil just not wanting to deal with people in general, so he's spent the past week wandering around in the forest, his journal left back in his house. This current heat

[Well well, look who it is. Normally, Yuan would know better than to approach someone who's clearly in a bad mood. Emil's a special case, though, which is why he wanders towards the kid for a closer look.]

Emil.

[ratatosk_knight]

[Emil doesn't even look up at Yuan as he approaches, keeping his chin resting on his knees. When he speaks, his voice is sullen.]

Go away.

[fortunefail]

[Yuan's starting to notice a pattern, here. It seems like Emil's brooding more and more often, which cannot be good in relation to Ratatosk.]

Did something happen?

[ratatosk_knight]

[Emil just kind of shrugs his shoulders noncommittally, eyes still fixed on the ground.]

Things are always happening here.

[blue_velocity]

[Not in Ratatosk mode, but upset? Despite whatever mood Emil may have been in, Sonic still approached him.]

Hey, are you all right, Emil? What's up?

[ratatosk_knight]

[Emil just kept his chin resting on his knees as he spoke.]

Sonic... nothing's up. I'm just hot, that's all.

[blue_velocity]

[This conversation brought a sense of deja vu for a second. Sonic looked out toward the general direction Emil was facing, then back at him again.]

Well, this has gotta be one of the best places to cool off. Heh, from the heat and from other stuff goin' on too.

[ratatosk_knight]

Yeah, it always feels so nice and comfortable here. I wonder if that's because of Snowball, since she's the one who planted this tree.

[stilldontgotit]

[Emil sure has been upset a lot lately. Well, cue Riku showing up. Because he's just that awesome...or something.]

Something bothering you?

[ratatosk_knight]

[Life has been sucking a lot for a lot of people lately, it seems.]

I'm fine.

[He says it automatically, his voice flat.]

[stilldontgotit]

You sure don't sound fine.

[He's onto you, Emil.]

[ratatosk_knight]

I'm not sick or hurt, so I'm fine.

[startwithabang]

RRRAAAAAGNNHHH

[Would it make you feel better if a large muscular and very loud man was blazing through the forest on one of his daily exercise routine jogs?]

[ratatosk_knight]

[... what is that horrible racket?]

Be quiet, you're being way too loud.

[startwithabang]

HAH! "Too loud"!?

How can you possibly call yourself a man if you're too afraid of letting your spirit roar like a mighty LION!!

[ratatosk_knight]

I can be a man just fine without letting my spirit roar like anything.

[roseof_wutai]

[Emil might see Yuffie walk right past him, staring him down while doing so, then walk very quickly.

A few minutes later though, there will be a ninja crouching behind him, and a lollipop in his face.

Sweets solve everything...most of the time.]

[ratatosk_knight]

[And Emil just kind of... stares at the lollipop.]

What's that for?

[roseof_wutai]

[She just kind of waves the lollipop. C'mon, take it~]

You look pissed off. Sweets help!

[ratatosk_knight]

[He'll take it with a bit of a puzzled look, mainly because he's not sure what else he should do.]

How many times do I have to tell everyone that I'm fine?
