[ --clicks on to the screech of something inhuman howling its lungs out, and the muffled sounds of someone whose communicator has turned on inside a pocket in the middle of a fight. More screeching, the ring of metal, and several crashing noises until the monster's yowling is cut abruptly short with a horrible wet sound. ]

[ Silence. ]

[ And then, much clearer and so completely calm, some actual speech. ]

Nuadoria. I had not thought to see thee again.

Thou art changed.

You've been here before, huh?

[sereins.livejournal.com]

Haha, this keeps happeni --



... Oh. Wow. It's you?

[temerate.livejournal.com]

I have.

[nethrstead.livejournal.com]

Aren't you a lucky son of a bitch.

Well, welcome back.

[temerate.livejournal.com]

[ ......................................waitaminute. ]

[ MAYBE POSSIBLY ever so slightly taken aback. ]

...you.

That boy.

[temerate.livejournal.com]

I do not imagine 'luck' played a part in it.

...I thank thee.

You were not present when I was last here. Who are you?

[netherstead.livejournal.com]

I probably wasn't.

My name's Mordecai.

[sereins.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha... yeah. Hey again.

[temerate.livejournal.com]

[ Still not quite over this yet. ]

...has it been so long, Yamamoto Takeshi?

[temerate.livejournal.com]

And have you any explanation for the presence of these monsters on the streets, Mordecai?

[netherstead.livejournal.com]

Nope. Can't say that I do. They're just part of the city's charm, I guess.

[sereins.livejournal.com]

Probably not as long for you as it's been for me.

[temerate.livejournal.com]

My time away from here passed without my knowledge. I have been ...asleep, perhaps.

...

...I am pleased to see you still alive.

[temerate.livejournal.com]

How unsurprising.

Yet, you do not sound overly concerned.

[netherstead.livejournal.com]

It's not that bad.

[temerate.livejournal.com]

[ FISHES. ]

I would think them a problem for the human population here. Their numbers are not insignificant.

[netherstead.livejournal.com]

Not if you know how to avoid them.

[sereins.livejournal.com]

Haha, yeah. No one's more happy about that than me, trust me.

[fruity]

Archaic speech, is that not? How nostalgic.

[jackisnomore.livejournal.com]

...You've been here before.

[voice]

[cachaemic.livejournal.com]

Huh-? You came back too...

[temerate.livejournal.com]

A polite phrasing for cowering in the shadows.

[temerate.livejournal.com]

[ Okay over it now. ]

Does thy master still live?

[omoidezukuri.livejournal.com]

You can fight?

[netherstead.livejournal.com]

Monsters aren't my specialty, sorry.
