46th Detonator [Audio]

[nameofexorcist]

[He's outside, sitting in front of the home that he shares with Yulie.] Japan, Heiji, and Gadget of the Watch have been sent home. [...] Their communicator frequencies are gone.

[Even though he sounds calm, he's actually a little upset. Japan was one of the few people that he actually trusted here... and Heiji was a good detective and has been in the Watch for a while. He was going to discuss a few things with them, but now that's not going to happen.]

This places us at seven members. Until more people join, all normal patrol hours will be extended.

[.....]

...Hm, it's been almost two years now. The overall atmosphere of Fortuna has changed since my initial arrival. [He's mostly just referring to the fact that there are now three habitable cities to live in now]

[...] And you as well, Sora.

[dreamsonwings]

Then, is it wrong to want to stay here too?

[Looking down at her feet.]

I do miss home but I don't want to leave either...

[Action]

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

...

Why don't you want to leave?

[Action]

[dreamsonwings]

Because of everyone here. If I leave, wouldn't it be like abandoning my friends?

[Or maybe with some of them, she doesn't want them to feel so lonely.]

[Action]

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

[...]

No.

[Action]

[dreamsonwings]

Then why am I getting that feeling?

[Action]

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

[He remains quiet for a moment.]

At this point in time, it wouldn't be your fault if you were sent home.

[Action]

[dreamsonwings]

Then I'll make sure I don't get sent home. At least not until everyone else does.

[Action]

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

... Sora, you don't have a choice regarding that. [...] Not until we locate the scientists.

[Action]

[dreamsonwings]

Then I'll make it my choice.

[Yeah, Sora Logic isn't the best.]

Maybe we'll find something on that exploration trip! Won't know until we try!

[Action]

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

...

It's possible.

[Action]

[dreamsonwings]

Not 'possible'. It will happen.

[Action]

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

[Unfortunately, he just isn't as optimistic as Sora.]

....

[dreamsonwings]

[Careful, it's contagious and there's no known cure.]

I know it seems like it isn't but I believe otherwise. If I didn't, I would've left Kaleido Stage the first week.

So we can't give up.

[Action]

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

[Still stony faced]

I didn't say to give up either.

[Action]

[dreamsonwings]

You didn't need to say it.

[Action]

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

[...] I'm not, Sora.

[Action]

[dreamsonwings]

[And for once, it's her that stays quiet. Fear of making him angry or something but she just keeps looking down.]

...

[Action]

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

[He notices, feeling a little bad]

...I apologize.

[Action]

[dreamsonwings]

...no, I should be the one apolgizing. I'm sorry for assuming otherwise.

[Action]

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

It's alright.

[Action]

[dreamsonwings]

...thank you.

[Action]

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

[...] You joined Squall's exploration group?

[Action]

[dreamsonwings]

Oh, yes.

Since now everyone can move more freely, it's a good idea to see what else is out there. We'll find something good.

[Action]

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

Be certain to follow his directions. [Squall seemed to be an able commander]
