[the screen flickers for a moment before it's held back by a cloaked figure. the identity cannot be determined due to the hood, but there's one thing that could be deciphered: the person was covered in blood.

after a few more seconds, a rather cheerful voice is heard, the hood pulled down to reveal Ace's smiling face]

There we are! I was afraid the Dreamberry had been broken. I tried contacting people for the past week but I couldn't get anything. I guess I had ventured too far out, haha. [it's more of a miracle he managed to find his way back within reception distance]

Julius! Do you know how to properly grill shark meat? [he now holds up the dismembered head of one of the sand sharks by his free hand. the rest of its slashed up corpse could be found behind him, as well as a tent and fire place nearby. it's now apparent that Ace has been and still is out somewhere in the desert] I tried roasting it over a fire last night, but it was still rather tough. Maybe it needed more salt...

[smilesmile] Though if anyone else wants some, there's plenty! I should be bringing it back soon. [read: in a few days if he's lucky.]

... That was in the desert?

[knightofchanges]

And some kind of giant worm, but I wouldn't recommend eating that.

[heroine-pimpin.livejournal.com]

Actually I wouldn't eat the shark either...! They're monster and -

[heroine-pimpin.livejournal.com]

*...Wait a minute.*

You - you fought it?

[knightofchanges]

Of course! If I hadn't, you wouldn't be talking to me right now, haha.

[heroine-pimpin.livejournal.com]

I knew you were skilled but this is something else. *She says this like it was an afterthought, but it wasn't.*

Well, at least you're okay.

[knightofchanges]

Hmm?

[disarming smile is disarming] Were you worried about me, Alice?

[heroine-pimpin.livejournal.com]

*Pouting, her cheeks flush a little.* Of course. Normally people would be worried in this situation Ace.

[knightofchanges]

Really? [laughs a little] I'm kind of used to this, actually. It's been a while since something was set out to kill me!

[heroine-pimpin.livejournal.com]

*... We were worried about this guy. Wow.* Which is a good thing. I said before, but I don't like it any one of you guys are hurt.

[knightofchanges]

[awww~ smiling] Well you have nothing to worry about, Alice. [actually she should worry about Boris more than anyone else. and maybe Elliot.] Though I hope you've been taking care of yourself?

[heroine-pimpin.livejournal.com]

*Boris will be okay - at least we think?* Of course I have. I've been just busy taking care of my housemates.

[knightofchanges]

Oooh? You mean they can't take care of themselves?

[heroine-pimpin.livejournal.com]

Not at the moment. They're asleep. *it's been kind of lonely lately too .. sighs*

[knightofchanges]

[...what] Asleep? What do you mean?

[heroine-pimpin.livejournal.com]

Remember when I was asleep for two weeks? *And the incident that happened afterward?* I think the same thing is happening to them.

[knightofchanges]

Aaaah, I see. So you're alone.

[musing before he smiles] Would you like some help?

[heroine-pimpin.livejournal.com]

[heroine-pimpin.livejournal.com]

*Whoa, sorry wasn't expecting that.*

I would ... but aren't you still in the desert?

[knightofchanges]

[it's not like he has ulterior motives that has been discussed in chat rotflmao]

I should be back in a day or two. The house is in the Industrial district right? I'll be in the neighborhood making some quick deliveries. Besides, it's been a while since we've last seen each other.

Julius would also be angry if he knew you were by yourself taking care of everyone.

[heroine-pimpin.livejournal.com]

*which gives us more bad feelings ;; okay if he doesn't we'll trust you for now.*

Yes it is. Hmm, well if you're sure, I could use some help anyway. But Julius getting mad because of that? I doubt it.

[knightofchanges]

[...oh Alice. will she ever learn?]

Then I'll be over as soon as I can! [thumbs up!] Haha, it's true, though. He's rather fond of you, I think.

[heroine-pimpin.livejournal.com]

*But it's in our nature to trust people ... canon-update Ace Lae*

Well, it's nice thought. I'll let you go since I don't really know how to cook shark.

[knightofchanges]

[your naivete won't work even in this world, Alice. why? he's already settled the whole "Killing Alice" bit, there's not much to canon update to rotflmao >_>]

Haha, all right. I'll bring some over, too!

[heroine-pimpin.livejournal.com]

*Always has to stump on your hopes and dreams, don't we? Because I'm canon-updating and it's so painful ;w;*

No no! It's fine - ...
