voice testing and possibly looking

[towardsthesky]

Just because you're canon-reviewing doesn't mean you're allowed to stick me in some strange place--you don't even know where to send me. That should be a sign to just let me be.

Whatever you do, don't trap me in some place that doesn't have a sky.

[helltogether]

Traps only work if you let yourself get caught.

[towardsthesky]

You're saying we have some sort of choice in this?

[helltogether]

I don't recall saying anything like that. If people could chose their placement how many of them would be where they are now?

[towardsthesky]

[It's a good point. He pauses before going on.]

What about you? Are you 'trapped' anywhere?

[helltogether]

[ che. yes. ]

Not without an escape.

[towardsthesky]

You've got something planned?

[helltogether]

[ he raises a hand, as if to say obviously. ]

I wouldn't let myself be put somewhere unfamiliar if I didn't.

[towardsthesky]

[Something tells him this guy won't be so ready to share his secrets.]

What kind of place is yours putting you in, then?

[helltogether]

Ha, to answer that would mean she's suddenly become decisive. The option isn't one I'm too worried about.

[ he pauses, and then adds in a tone implying he isn't entirely interested; ]

And what does yours think?

[towardsthesky]

The same as yours, I think. So who knows, we might end up stuck in the same place.

[He looks fairly sullen over this, not necessarily at Nezumi being there, just being there in general.]

[helltogether]

Excuse me while I try to hold in my anticipation.


[ someone is not okay with any of this. ]

[towardsthesky]

Hey, you're the one who said you had an escape plan.

[helltogether]

I might have missed the part where any of that had to do with you.

[towardsthesky]

I wasn't asking for your help, anyway. [Defensive much?]

[helltogether]

Of course you weren't, because that would mean you're depending on other people to get you out of your own situations.

[towardsthesky]

[He raises an eyebrow, wondering if this guy means to sound so much like he's picking a fight.]

I don't do that to people. But some people aren't as lucky to be able to get out whenever they choose. You'd turn your back on that?

[helltogether]

Luck has nothing to do with it. You either push yourself through, or you don't. No use wasting my resources on those who wouldn't know what to do with them in the first place.

[towardsthesky]

[Well, he can agree with the first sentiment.]

Then I doubt I'll see you around for very long, wherever we end up, if that's true.

[helltogether]

The chances aren't very likely. I don't play well with others anyway.

[towardsthesky]

Yeah, that's not obvious.

[helltogether]

So you're catching on. That will be useful when we wind up somewhere.

[towardsthesky]

[That almost sounded like a compliment.]

Guess so. I don't have any intentions of sitting quietly through it.

[helltogether]

Speaking words is one thing, we'll have to wait and see how this plays out.

[shoot]

Need some help negotiating, Princess?

[towardsthesky]

Michael! [Irritation quickly replaces his surprise.] I told you not to call me that!

[But then again, help is help.]

...You know how to get out of stuff like this?

[shoot]

Whoa, excited to see me, were you? [he'll ignore the irritation and pretend alto's surprise was a good thing!!]

Hmm... well not completely, but I can help with the sky part.

[towardsthesky]

[Well, that's the important part, isn't it?]

You can? Where?

[movinghair]

They'd just have to send you somewhere you could fly!

[towardsthesky]

Ranka...

I guess it's not as good just having a sky if I can't fly in it, right?

[movinghair]

Right. I can't see you being happy with just another hologram.

[towardsthesky]

So what kind of place did you end up in?

GOSH sorry life ate me

[movinghair]

Instead of being taken from home, we have to join an internet community and talk to each other. There are viruses sometimes, and they can get annoying, but it's been so worth it. I guess I was kind of lucky. [smiles wide] I've even seen Earth. Or an Earth.

no problem at all!

[towardsthesky]

[He raises his eyebrows at the prospect, even though the rest of it sounds a little confusing.]

What about everyone from home? Do you see them around?

[movinghair]

Sheryl's there! She joined a lot earlier than I did.

[towardsthesky]

Sheryl is? I guess that figures.
