[Soft and subdued, those that know Souji will see it's clear that he's still not quite himself. He seems a little too pale, a little too drawn - though his manner is smooth and calm as it usually would be, his tone not unfriendly, there's still something amiss there.]We've had several new arrivals recently, haven't we? Welcome, everyone. My name is

Teddie? No, come to think of it, I haven't.

I thought it was weird he was quiet, but maybe he was just hiding out from the fighting. How long has he been missing?

[Audio]

[toplay_thefool]

Not long - just two days or so. It wouldn't be like him to wander off - not without mentioning it to me, at least. [unless, a little insidious part of him thinks, he's lost that much faith in you too.

He swallows.] It's likely that he's gone home, I know, but I'll look for him regardless.

[Audio]

[dragon_savior]

Then let me take to the sky and help you. Teddie isn't just your friend, y'know.

[Audio]

[toplay_thefool]

I'd appreciate that - all of his friends would.

[tykebombing]

Uwehh, is there any pasta?

[voice]

[toplay_thefool]

[Souji considers this, then gives another of those small smiles.]

Well, we have some flour - I guess we could try and make some.

[voice] ahaha i'm so sorry /o\

[tykebombing]

Eeeehehe, pasta is the best! Big Sis Val makes pasta sometimes and it's just as good as Buon Viaggio, motherfuckers!

[NICE JOB, BADOU. see what your influence hath wrought.]

[voice] I LOVE IT

[toplay_thefool]

[he's just

going to raise his eyebrows at that

thankfully this is audio.

Thank god for the unicorn channel.]

We'll do our best, then. What do you like to eat it with?

[notmycreampuffs]

Turn around. Go home. Your pale face is creeping me out.

[This is her way of being supportive.]

[toplay_thefool]

Sorry - [A lop-sided smirk.] - you're going to have to put up with it.

Besides, with that flour all over your cheek, you almost match me.

[notmycreampuffs]

[Saki idly scratches at her cheek.]

Are you going to talk about it now? Sulking is for little girls, Seta.

[toplay_thefool]

Sulking - [A frown, brief, but then he just gives a thin little laugh, shaking his head.] Then our food would come out bad.

[albinoidiot]

That's a nifty piece of information there... and who's Teddy? We missing someone?

[Video]

[toplay_thefool]

Thank you. If you need any clarification, please let me know.

And Teddie is... A friend of mine, from home. He was here for a long time, but... I think he might have went back.

[Video]

[albinoidiot]

It's well written. I got it.

Sorry to here that. You don't need a drink, do you?

[Video]

[toplay_thefool]

[He laughs at that, a little weakly.] I don't think so. I've got some work to get done for tonight. But thanks, Dante.

[asouroldelf]

Times've passed that I thought there was some kinda sense in jumping planes like this. Sure it ain't regular like, near random some of the time, but here I am back in this blasted little town, and here you lot still are, soldiering on with a stiff upper lip.

[She snorts, but it's halfway to a laugh, and the last is mumbled.]

Ain't no wonder Hewley's hoofed it.

[toplay_thefool]

[A pause. But he remembers her, even though it's been some time since she was here last. His expression breaks into a genuine smile.]

It's good to see you again, Avari - though for what it's worth, I'm sorry you've been brought back.

[asouroldelf]

And off you go again, apologizing for things what ain't your doing.

[A cluck of her tongue.]

So what've you been up to, kid? Aside from shouldering apologies, eh?

[toplay_thefool]

Ah - it's a habit I still need to work on, clearly. Aside from that, I'm not sure a lot is any different from what you'd remember.

[Things have changed plenty for him, but he's not about to bring that up.]

How have you been?
