35th Detonator [Audio]

[nameofexorcist]

I completed my report on the alternative Discedo. It's located here.

...There's still one issue I need to address. When I woke up here from the other Discedo, a few other individuals and myself were on the floor of the hydroelectric plant, with bandages and cotton pads on us. ...Does anyone have any information regarding this situation, such as how we arrived there?

And did anyone else wake up with a bandage on that wasn't in the hydroelectric plant?

[There's a small pause as he thinks about the next matter to talk about]

Watch, Bang Shishigami has joined the organization. His frequency is almosttoomanly if you need to contact him.

[Locked to Kirika | 20%]

Kirika... I need to speak with you.

[After closing his communicator, he goes around to look for Miyu in their apartment]

...I'll start heading over there.

[locked; 20%]

Alright. [He hangs up and waits for her]

[action]

[Heading over there right now. Kirika knocks lightly at his door.]

[action]

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

[He answers the door and briefly looks over her, checking for any injuries. No, she seems to be okay... he's glad.]

...Hi, Kirika. [He's a bit quiet, but steps aside to let her in]

[action]

[Kirika nods to him, then steps inside. The girl remain quiet for now. She has an idea what he wants to talk about.]

[action]

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

[He might as well get to the point]

...Do you remember what happened to us at that alternative world?

[action]

[carrythesin.livejournal.com]

[[ooc: Answering from Gmail orz...]]

[To tell the truth, Kirika doesn't know. She has a theory... For now, the girl shakes her head calmly.]

...Do you?

[action]

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

[He's silent for a minute but eventually nods]

...Yes.

[action]

[carrythesin.livejournal.com]

[Guilt trip. She remains silent as if waiting for him to say something.]

[action]

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

[He looks elsewhere]

I... couldn't protect you.

[action]

[carrythesin.livejournal.com]

[Shock look here. She seriously thought the worst. Maybe she protected him from someone. Kirika has a bad habit of throwing herself like a human shield.]

...Was someone after you?

[action]

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

...They were after both of us.

[action]

[carrythesin.livejournal.com]

I see...

[Some reason, there's a smile.]

[action]

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

[he notices her smile and looks somewhat confused]

...Why are you smiling?

[action]

[carrythesin.livejournal.com]

[Still smiling.]

Thank you... For a moment there, I thought I did something terrible.

[action]

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

[...Oh that's why...]

...No, you didn't.

[action]

[carrythesin.livejournal.com]

[That's good enough for her.]

...What happened then?

[action]

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

[He isn't sure if he really wants to tell her, but... she deserves to know what happened]

...We were shot down by a group of soldiers.

[action]

[carrythesin.livejournal.com]

[Way to go down...]

...At least we made it back.

[action]

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

...

I still wasn't able to protect you.

[action]

[carrythesin.livejournal.com]

It's okay.

[Simple like that. She wasn't able to protect him either. Knowing he tried was enough too.]

[action]

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

[He still doesn't look convinced. They were lucky that death wasn't permanent... if it was any other world, that would have been the end.

He still looks off to the side, looking somewhat frustrated at himself. He couldn't protect Yulie... and he couldn't protect Kirika]

[She tilts her head a side reading Kresnik's expression. When Kresnik looks off to the side, Kirika tugs lightly on the fabric of his shirt.]

[action]

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

[He looks back down at her when she tugs on his shirt, still looking rather conflicted]

[action]

[carrythesin.livejournal.com]

[Kresnik... Don't make that face.]
