ǂ 003 -- blood (phone/action)

[teh_sword]

[There's a bit of quiet breathing over the phone early this morning, like someone picked it up and then lost track of themselves for a bit. When he speaks, anyone who knows his voice will guess that he's exhausted and unhappy, which is weird for Mr Chipper. Spoiler alert: he is rather exhausted and unhappy.It's... really hard to keep track of these

W...well. I was ...acting horribly yesterday.

I-I still don't know why...

[teh_sword]

...d'you remember what it felt like?

[motheringnation]

I....hated everyone. Was a small voice in back of my head saying...saying what I was doing was wrong. But....just couldn't stop myself.

....was horrible.

It-- I mean, I'm pretty sure--

It wasn't your fault, okay? How old are you? Did you just have a birthday?

[Electronic things? Odd. Elizabeth is walking by the Church on the way to school when she spots him.]

Ren?

[Time to think and being in such a contemplative place--as well as the quasi-comforting quasi-distressing phone conversations--might have made Ren less completely demoralized, but he's certainly not the same smiley guy who met the future queen in the library. He tries for a smile but it's rather shaky.]

...hey, Princess. D'you get my message...?

[someday_a_queen]

Yes I did.

Is there something you know about the technology here?

[teh_sword]

...maybe. It's... not as straightforward as I thought. Things here are just starting to remind me a lot more of home than I'd like.

It seems to have been happening to a great assortment of individuals...

[teh_sword]

...y' happen to know if most of them are around 17?
