HEY SORA ARE YOU AWAKE?!!!

[Who likes panicked 3am voice messages? WHO LIKES THOSE? ]

Sweet Celestia, please don't tell the little pink pony I accidentally killed that bear! She'd be so mad.

So mad.

Voice;

[notzubats]

[Well I know teenagers who basically live on 12 hours of sleep LOVE panicked 3am voice messages. IN fact he'll pick up the communicator and sound totally out of it- like he just woke up]

Huh? Wha?

[A yawn]

Issat you Cheese?

Voice;

[preformthisneigh]

[He'll just...shake the communicator a bit in case that helps matters. ]

YES! Are you awake? We need to talk about the bear!!!

Voice;

[notzubats]

Wha?

[He shakes his own head, hoping it stirs him]

What about a bear?

Voice;

[preformthisneigh]

[GET IT TOGETHER SORA, COME ON!! ]

The bear I saved you from. You remember it, right?

[ special delivery! ]

[maschinenpistole]

[ A little while after this particular stuff goes down (yay vague time handwaving!)... Outside of Sora's door on the SS Golden, there's a small box with a note attached, addressed to him:

Sora, I couldn't convince myself to cook a goldfish, so they just have other things in them. (2 fruit, 1 egg, 1 plain) Maybe next time! ♥ - Kotoha ^-^

Inside are... four rice balls! One is a teensy bit smaller than the others, and it has no stuffing inside. The other three are the same size. One has scrambled eggs inside, one has dried plums, and the last has a sweet berry jam/sauce of some sort.

Enjoy~! Or don't, if fruit isn't quite up your alley... may the next few stops have better ingredient opportunities! ]

Voice

[notzubats]

[Oh wow, free food! Sure it's not fish, but Sora is happy to eat it all the same. It's really good!]

[After he's finished wolfing them down, he'll call Kotoha]

Hey Kotoha, thanks for the rice balls! They were really good!

Voice

[maschinenpistole]

No problem, no problem! I'm glad you liked them! Wherever we end up next, I'm going to make sure to get some better stuffing ingredients - so there will be more where those came from~

[ She's always loved doing things like this for her friends. And here? Well, it makes space feel a little less lonely, that's for sure! ]

Voice

[notzubats]

Really? That's awesome!

There has to be something I can give you in return! It's no fair that I get all the good stuff!

Voice

[maschinenpistole]

Heh, you don't have to! But if you wanted, then, hmm... Surprise me? I like most things, so don't worry about it too much~

[ Plus, it's more fun seeing what other people come up with. ]

[File attachment: mtn-bot-vrmn-ceasekill-redirect-v3-golden.dat]

Enclosed please find a file override for your maintenance droids that will prevent any more unfortunate incidents such as witnessed earlier. Please inquire if you have any questions regarding how to install the program.

I am sorry for your loss.

-THE VISION
WINDROSE ENGINEERING

P.S. Mr. Stark should respond to a firm "no" if you inform him you still require the parts of the destroyed droid.

voice;

[notzubats]

[Whoa that's some message. It's a nice gesture, even if it's way more formal than Sora likes doing. He attempts a few times to write a message back, but his writing skills frankly suck, so finally he gives up and opts for calling back on the frequency this had]

Hey, is this Vision?

voice;

[unbearablynaive]

This is he. Sora, I presume?

voice;

[notzubats]

Yup, sure am!

I got your message! Thanks for the file! Though uh, gotta say, I'm not really sure how I'm supposed to install it.

[What is computer literacy really]

voice;

[unbearablynaive]

It's fairly simple. Are you nearby one of your bots currently?

[If so, he'll do the patient IT walkthrough of how to load and run the file.]

voice;

[sylphystia]

[This is seven in the morning but Dezel doesn't care. here's just this... monotone. A very firm monotone.]

Sora. Sora. Wake up.

voice;

[notzubats]

[Holy shit Dezel 7am is an ungodly hour for a 15 year old. So he sounds very groggy when he answers (after taking a moment to fumble with his communicator)]

Huh? [He yawns] What is it?

voice;

[sylphystia]

I'm leaving.

[Dezel, what.]

There's a form. I'm almost done with it. You should leave, too.

voice;

[notzubats]

-- Huh?! What?!

[Well THAT wakes him up]

Leaving where?

voice;

[sylphystia]

I'm going to the Huntress. You can come with me or go somewhere else, but you shouldn't stay here.

[There's an edge in his voice but it's not directed at Sora, obviously. Something has him nervous.]

action;

[sylphystia]

[There's no fanfare to this. Just Dezel stumbling down the hallway, staggering into Sora's room and knocking something over. He slams the door behind him and barely has the presence of mind to lock it, but he does, and then it's a simple thing to just slide down to the floor. His hat is missing, misplaced-- he doesn't care. Sora is here, thank god, and Dezel can at least protect him.]

action;

[notzubats]

[Sora was simple, but that didn't mean he didn't notice things. He noticed the uneasy feelings he got from Sorey the last couple times he saw him, how it made him feel unsafe despite Sorey always being nice to him. He noticed Sorey one day leaving with no word, and Mikleo and Dezel following after- again, with no word. Sure, people come and go from the Huntress all the time, but this different. There was an air of fear, or malice, in it]

[But Sora had no way to track them, and no shuttle to use, so he had to stay behind and wait. He waited in his room, occasionally pacing back and forth. When Dezel stumbles into his room, he immediately jumps over and runs over to his friend]

Dezel! What happened?!

action;

[sylphystia]

[Dezel doesn't respond for a moment. He's absolutely, completely exhausted from fighting the malevolence. He had to fight his way out, too, and he's covered in scratches as a result. He'll be okay in a little while, or so he tells himself, but he thinks he might be running out of time as much as Zaveid is.

Dezel needs a vessel to keep himself pure, too.]

Sorey and Mikleo... won't be back for a while. [His tone is strained; he's still trying to find his breath. His eyes are closed, thankfully, so he isn't desperately staring into nothingness.] The... the malevolence... it got to them. You need to stay away from them until something's done.

[That doesn't sound ominous at all.]

action;

[notzubats]

What...?

[He remembers them telling bits and pieces about what malevolence is. Something that makes things impure, dirty. He didn't really understand it himself.

H-How? How could the malevolence get to them? What does that even mean?

action;

[sylphystia]

[He thumps his head against the door, partly out of frustration, partly... well, no, it's all out of frustration.]

Sorey was having problems. He-- he kept it from us. Hid himself away. We tried to talk him out of it, and... he was too corrupted. Mikleo covered our escape.

[He couldn't see anything, couldn't do anything. He remembers Sorey's tears, Mikleo's sad smile, and Zaveid's name dancing darkly on the hellion's lips. That wasn't Sorey anymore, not as Dezel knew him. He's lost two friends in one fell swoop, and nearly a third.

He sucks in a breath through his teeth like a wince.]

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
