[FILTERED TO FFXIII CREW]
[there's a small moment of silence before she finally says just two words]

She's gone.

[and then the line disconnects. however, her neighbors would probably hear the cry of frustration and possibly the sound of the table skidding across the room and toppling over after she kicked it. high pitch barking from a certain

...

[With a sigh, she makes her way down the hall to the apartment. She heard the bang, and faintly heard the whining, but she hasn't assumed the worst of course. She knocks once. Twice. Three times? A pause. No good, so she places a hand on the knob and the door creaks open.

Unlocked, how convenient.

She steps inside, and merely leans against the wall, arms crossed and eyes fixed intently on the enraged woman. She'll let Fang's anger run it's course, who is she to step in and stop it after all? She knows the feeling, it isn't pleasant, and she's surprised that she hadn't resorted to violence when she was in that situation.]

[it seemed that the table was the only thing that suffered the most of her frustration. Fang's back was to her, her fists clenched at her sides, but she could tell the other woman was there.]

Come to check on me?

[her voice had a cold, sarcastic tone, and she ignored the soft, low whine coming from the furball that had only glanced at Lightning's entrance as it sat nearby Fang's feet.]

[She makes a small "hmph" sound. She tightens her folded arms and simply gives the woman a stoic stare.]

You're pissed, I get that.

[She nods towards the frightened dog, then table and the semi-destroyed apartment.]

But destroying your apartment won't bring her back.

[She's not here to stop the damage, only to advise against it and keep an eye on it. She'll let Fang do whatever the hell she wants.]

[rendtheskies]

I know. I know that. But I can't just sit around and not do something!

Ugh, this stupid world! It's no better than our own.

[funny, somehow this conversation seems familiar]

[illuminatedfate]

[She knows that sound. Goodness knows she's heard it from her sister enough times to know what the scraping followed by the loud bang means. The silence that follows, however, is the most disturbing, and she finds herself not really knowing what to say. She didn't really know Fang. But Vanille had once been very kind of her. It was the least she could do to repay it to someone who had been close to her.]

You'll see her again, one day. I know... that doesn't help much right now, but as long as you keep her in your heart then... she's never really away from you.

[rendtheskies]

[she had known Serah had been around, but she had never actually talked to her. she still owed her an apology. but that was far from her mind right now, and at the girl's words she can only scoff]

Oh really? After I leave this stupid world, you mean? Whenever it decides to send me back?

So what am I supposed to do until then, just sit around, twiddle my thumbs, and wait for my turn?

[illuminatedfate]

I don't think Vanille would want that for you. I know it seems hard, but you have to try and make the best of the chance you've been given. With or with out her here with you.

[rendtheskies]

[and another harsh laugh] And what chance would that be? We're all just here not knowing what the bloody hell is goin' on.

[yet those words do manage to keep her from punching something again. it's true, she knows Vanille would be more upset with her now. but it still didn't change the fact that she's gone, no taken away from her]
