[Totally shattered to bits, Naoki. Oh well. Quatre is smiling happily enough anyway at Naoki agreeing.]

Mm! It's important, right? Having that sort of connection with someone. [Quatre misses his friends. But that's all the more motivation for finding his way back where he belongs.]

Something like that is definitely precious. I'm glad you managed to find someone like that.

[masakados]

[He's usually more careful with first impressions... Oh well.]

Thanks. It was easier than I thought it'd be, so you probably won't have any problems, either. [Friends, or anything, he's pretty sure that a guy who seems friendly like Quatre will have people close to him in no time.

Naoki's slower in that regard, due to his hesitance in trusting anyone.]

[thatdamnknight]

[relaxation, much as he avoids it, IS necessary sometimes. rare as admitting to it is, it happens. gathering thoughts works best on a clear mind and, even though this chat cleared some stuff up, a lot of other things remain to be sorted through. movie night with an idiot of a best friend feels like a good way to get to that point.

make that RUDE idiot best friend. flynn snorts softly, the joking tone not missed on him. oh gee, sorry for being such a horrible option.]

Funny, the movie I was thinking about watching was 3 exciting hours worth of paint drying action.

[not really. it probably exists, that sort of movie, but flynn'll pass on ever watching it. although, it could be useful for severe insomnia. hmm, memo to self: find out if that really exists just in case.]

[braavado]

And you haven't gotten any more messages since then?

[Whoever sent it sounds pretty elusive, though Korra supposes an elusive ally is better than none at all.]

[fatalstriker]

Guess I'm not surprised you'd consider that an action movie.

[he retorts, because honestly, what else would yuri do in this situation? flynn left him an easy opening. even if that does make him a rude best friend, he's not about to pass up the opportunity to make a joke at flynn's expense.

it keeps the tone of things light—something they both honestly need right now. and knowing all too well how fleeting that can be with flynn, yuri knows he can't let the moment pass too quickly.]

[unwaverings]

I ... think so? At least, there was a weird piece of paper about me when I woke up.

[ He's guessing that's what that was, even if it DIDN'T REALLY MAKE SENSE ... So they must've done it while he was asleep. ]

But if they did it already, then why didn't they give me back my clothes? Maybe that isn't the reason then ...

[fittedgloves]

[ Kyouko nods, taking careful steps toward the center of the room. What was a chair doing, sitting in the middle like that?

The floor creaks again, this time almost dangerously and Kyouko pauses. ]

It doesn't feel stable in here.

[particularity]

No, not since then...

[Hinata shakes his head. It's always only bits and pieces. Like Haven, Cerealia never gives too much, never allows them to find too much.]

[braavado]

[She sighs. Exactly what she was afraid of.]

And we have no idea who they are. I guess all we can do is wait and see if they send you guys anything else.

[Shaking off the disappointment, Korra gives him a smile that's small and tired.]

Thanks for sharing all this with me. It helps.

[particularity]

[Hinata nods, expression softening.]

Yeah, no problem. I think the more informed we are, the better.

[Better than not knowing a thing!]

[cutestprogrammer]

"But I wouldn't have been able to stop without your help!" Chihiro's eyes widen in surprise and amazement. "Magic? You are a wizard, William? What other spells can you do?"

[notsolomon]

Well he wouldn't fight her on the compliment. "Wizard? Huh, I suppose I am after a fashion. A beginner though." Just the tiniest bit of humility. "I can also create fire and make myself float. I am working on learning illusions and summoning as well." Though the latter had proven fruitless so far, due to the way to hell being closed.

Empress

[espersions]

I — haha! Sorry. I'm...bwahahahha!

[ ...sorry. He'd thought it would soothe his life's pain, this revenge. But it hadn't made him feel any better, killing half of Babel back then. It doesn't make him feel any better now. His grief and regret have simply piled up, just like all these bodies. He bloodied his hands, and to what purpose? He hasn't saved anyone.

His commander was right. He's a monster, who deserved to be exterminated.

His hand falls. It's useless to ward her off, this spectre of his guilt and failure. Instead he wraps his arms around himself and shakes with silent, breathless giggles. ]

[thatdamnknight]

[rude, so so rude. at the same time, though, this rudeness causes the stress of this evening to ebb away more and more. sitting around and dealing with commentary like this just feels so homely. flynn's smile widens a teeny fraction.]

Oh, you know me, all work and no play means dull is my sort of action.

[poking fun at his own work ethic, one that flynn DOES realize can be a bit intense at times (but ONLY a bit), ought to further add onto the light tone. banter of this sort followed by an evening of moving watching ought to be just what the doctor ordered.]

Not that you can relate, Yuri 'all play and no work' Lowell.

[unwaverings]

[ Sorey will pause too then, wary of that creak. ]

Do you think there's more traps in the floor? [ A pause. ] Or maybe this whole room is a trap ...

[ He wouldn't put it past them!! Just having a chair in the middle of the room is weird on its own. ]

Should we leave?

[fittedgloves]

...It may be for the best.

[ But this is the only lead they've found so far. What if this was the only way to an exit? ]

This might be our only exit, though.

[fatalstriker]

[it's fine when it's this way, at least. it's not hard for yuri to deal with flynn's ribbing, after all. they've been doing this for so long that it's more second nature than anything else.]

Someone's gotta balance out Flynn "No Fun Allowed" Scifo. [which he says with a shrug. is there an air of truth to that? probably, but it's mostly just as playful as the rest of this conversation has turned.]

[cutestprogrammer]

"That's still amazing! You're just a beginner but can already do all that! Is it possible for me to learn how to use magic too?" He looks up at him very hopefully!!

[notsolomon]

"Hmm," he tapped his chin, "well you do need the aptitude for it, but it shouldn't be impossible. Isaac was able to learn and he is a poor student." Who is also better at magic than William, but details, details. "Would you like to learn?"

Ack, I'm so sorry this is so late!

[good_ideas]

[Her death grip on the hospital bed is pulling the sheets with it and not doing much to slow her down as she walks up to an elder who has clearly lost his mind. At least he didn't look like he was going to attack anymore.]

....You ate something weird, didn't you? Someone really needs to stop you from picking things up off the ground and putting them in your mouth, you lolicon. Gross.

[But even as she's saying that and making an almost comically disgusted face, she's reaching out to hold onto his sleeve.]

[thatdamnknight]

[flynn audibly snorts, visibly amused as opposed to annoyed by the comment. yeah yeah, he's a killjoy. sometimes he DOES go overboard with it, even if most of the time it's him being the voice of reason that falls on an idiotic deaf ear.]

I have plenty of fun watching paint dry, thanks.

[with that comment, he stands and stretches a little. they might as well get going before their movie night turns into a banter on a bench night. granted, that's not the worst way to spend a night, but a nice couch beats a hard bench.]

Did you want to grab any snacks on the way?

[there might not be too many snack options back home. lots of meat options, yes, but not so much stuff fit for munching on.]

[fatalstriker]

Yeah, sounds like a good idea.

[yuri follows suit within the minute, standing up. it takes that much to realize how tired his body is, but he knows getting to sleep isn't going to happen anyway. well, maybe is the movie is as exciting as watching paint dry, it could happen.

either way, he's not about to refuse the option to go buy snacks. just thinking about what may be awaiting him in flynn's kitchen is enough to convince him that snack shopping beforehand is a must.]

Guess that's one good thing about nothing ever closing around here.

[unwaverings]

[ Hmmm ... Scanning the room again. ]

Then maybe we could throw something further into the room and see if something happens.

[ He'd throw something of his, but he kind of doesn't have anything on him thanks to all of his belongings being taken away for now. Maybe there's a rock somewhere ... ]

like i have a leg to stand on in that regard........

[espersions]

Who... who are you c-calling a — pfff!

[ Even in death, she's mocking him. Well, no wonder. This is the Empress, she'd follow him to hell to mock him. Actually, she did follow him to hell, come to think of it. She joined PANDRA, along with the Queen and the Goddess, just like he wanted. There had been war, just like he wanted. And now she's dead, just like he — no. No, he didn't want that. He just wanted the war... no, he didn't want that, either. What he always wanted was to save her. Not only her, not only the Queen, but every esper child who has been failed by the adults who were meant to protect them.

Adults like him. Adults exactly like him. What a squalid waste his life has been, truly.

Suffice it to say, upon touching his sleeve, Shiho is likely to psychometrize a massive rush of FEELINGS!!! as powerful as they are pitiful. ]

[thatdamnknight]

[oh come on, flynn's dull but not THAT dull. his taste in movies is a little bit better than that.]

Mmm, it certainly is convenient.

[bad as ceres can be, little things like this make living here more tolerable. spending an evening with a good friend just goofing off: yeah, not the worst thing ever. it's rare for him to admit, but sometimes a night like this is necessary and, chances are, it wouldn't have happened as easily back home. cue a small, if teasing smile from flynn.]

Just try not to make me go bankrupt.

[which is flynn's backhanded way of saying it's on him. seriously though, don't go too crazy. the amount of credits he has still isn't at the level he wants them to be. save money just in case!!]
