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]

[Still stony faced]

I didn't say to give up either.

[Action]

[dreamsonwings]

You didn't need to say it.

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

[dreamsonwings]

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

[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.

[...] 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]

[Action]

[dreamsonwings]

[You make it sound like she's a troublemaker or something. Don't make her hug you.]

I will, don't worry.

[Action]

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

It will be dangerous. [Actually on second thought, he's going to ask Squall why he allowed Sora to come along. She isn't the most able of fighters... ]

[Action]

[dreamsonwings]

I know.

But I can defend myself and I've been learning medicine from Harper-san. He even let me take a couple books from the hospital so I can study more.

[If she ends up not going on this trip, she's blaming you.]

[Action]

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

[...]

What do you defend yourself with?

[Action]

[dreamsonwings]

Well, I have a sturdy rod that I've been using since helping fix the subway from Discedo to Spero. I should probably get a better one before leaving but I'm not sure where I can find one.

[In other words: not trusted to carry sharp pointy things. Maybe.]

...

Does Michelangelo know about your recruitment?

[Action]

[dreamsonwings]

Yes. I told him right after talking with Squall-san.

[She's not going to like where this is going, is she?]

[Action]

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

How did he react?

[Action]

[dreamsonwings]

Worried like when I told him about the last thing I signed up for. But he knows how I feel about this.

[Action]

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

Hm. [He doesn't say anything else about it.]

[Action]

[dreamsonwings]

...are you worried about it?

[Action]

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

You're not familiar with fighting, Sora.

[Action]

[dreamsonwings]

That may be true, but I'm not just going for that. There's the medical angle as well.

[Seriously, she's already packed enough things from work that would last more than a week.]

I'll be alright Misutanaito. I'll come back in one piece. Even pinky swear on it!

[Action]

You don't have to 'pinky swear' on it.
