VOICE/VIDEO ❐Judge, O you gods, how dearly Caesar lov'd him! This was the most unkindest cut of all.

(Forward dated to onset of Darkness-)

[Just after the sirens had gone off, no more than a hour had passed when the feed clicks on, catching the angry growl not of monsters, nor of angels, but Remnants.]

{"Find him." Kadaj snarls, edge to his tone, always on edge always pushed. His voice is faint, away from the NV. "It's been too long-" }
[Yazoo does

...

[Liquid watched in silence, pondering whether to even respond before picking up the mobile phone that was displaying such an image to him. Before even trying to send a reply, he waited for a few moments that felt like an age, his fingers hovering over the button.

2/2 - VOICE

[ysobritish]

Kadaj. Yazoo.

[It must have been Loz this time. Those words could not have meant anything else. Liquid's voice is cool and level.

...what is he even going to say?]

Fighting amongst yourselves is pointless.

[Voice]

[argentallure]

[Ten minutes, then twenty. It is only twenty five minutes after this is posted that Yazoo finally picks up, voice full of his usual distant apatheticness but...Tired.]

...

[He almost just disconnects, because oh, it's Liquid, but he does not need the other stomping over here and causing a fuss.]

How observant of you.

[Voice]

[ysobritish]

How badly are you hurt?

[Yeah, he doesn't care about your snark.]

What's his condition?

[Did you return fire?]

[Voice]

[argentallure]

Kadaj is fine. [He would never fire on his brother past a spar. That's all you get, in his mind, his condition is irrelevant, because past being just a bit wiped out and of frayed nerves he still has to find Loz.]

I would not let something happen to him.

[Voice]

[ysobritish]

[All he needed to know.]

If Loz was here, you'd know. Right?

[There's the sound of movement and a coat being tugged on.]

I'm going to go look for him too.

[Voice]

[argentallure]

We've always known...But he may of shut himself out. [Pause. You're doing what?]

...Liquid.

[Voice]

[ysobritish]

Three parts of the same whole. You should be together. And you'll cover more ground with more people.

...what?

[Voice]

[argentallure]

Why would you search for Brother? [Because obviously he and Loz hadn't had the best first encounter with Liquid.]

[Voice]

[ysobritish]

You're happier when you're "complete", right? Not that I can really ever picture you being happy.

[Seriously, Yazoo seemed to be the grouchiest person he knew, and that was including Psycho Mantis.]

I don't care what you think of me. I know it's not much. It doesn't matter. Liking Kadaj means accepting you two.

[Voice]

[argentallure]

[He's only grouchy because he doesn't like you! ... Ok no he's just grouchy.]

...Hn. You remember what he looks like?

[Voice]

[ysobritish]

[You're just grouchy because you got laid and you didn't want to. Liquid will totally hold that over you if you ever meet in less awkward situations and you annoy him.]

Short silver hair, tall, fast, wears the same outfit as you guys.

[The sound of a door shutting.]

If I find him, I'll call.

[Voice]

[argentallure]

[Yes well, better hope Kadaj is around so he doesn't attempt to kill you for it. Humor and him don't go together very well.]

See that you do. [He'll look for a but and...and then check on Kadaj again. Maybe go collapse exhausted for a bit.]

[Voice]

[ysobritish]

[Liquid isn't afraid of you. And he has a bad sense of when not to tease people.]

I won't forget.
