[Accidental voice post]

[nonomoribird.livejournal.com]

[the recording begins with a loud clatter, and a desperate cry in Yorda's usually soothing voice can be heard] No!

[and then there's the sounds of struggling, as though Yorda is fighting with all her might to break free, and of heavy, sure footsteps and soft, dragging ones on strange earth. And there's a terrified gasp and a quiet sob - Yorda again - and the noises abruptly vanish.

Many more moments of relative silence pass, with only the sound of soft winds rustling through crystalline leaves, until the distinct sound of a curious chocobo picking at something - probably journal keys]

Kweh!

[and suddenly, the recording cuts out]

Yorda!

[streetratprince.livejournal.com]

Urd! What's going on?! Is Yorda in trouble?

[Voice]

[tenshinomakai.livejournal.com]

That's what it's starting to look like. The sounded like a chocobo and other people have confirmed it, so...she must be in Spira.

[Voice]

[mastertemplate.livejournal.com]

What was that? Who's there?

Yorda?!

[Voice]

[tenshinomakai.livejournal.com]

This better not be because of you.

[mastertemplate.livejournal.com]

Why would you think that? And what a nice thing to say to someone you haven't talked to in what seems like ages. And I should know how that feels.

[tenshinomakai.livejournal.com]

Oh, I don't know, maybe because you've apparently slept with her? I know you didn't take her, but... [she sighs] Look, just...tell me if you find her, okay? I'll do the same. We can talk later.

[mastertemplate.livejournal.com]

Ugh. I just knew she would say something like that-

It wasn't like that.

If I find her, after I tell you, I'm going to do something to the person that's responsible.

[tenshinomakai.livejournal.com]

...not if I beat you to it.

[mastertemplate.livejournal.com]

[somewhat encouraged tone] Is that a challenge?

[tenshinomakai.livejournal.com]

You can have what's left.

[mastertemplate.livejournal.com]

Just don't get too greedy. That's my thing.

[masterfulflames.livejournal.com]

Oh dear.

[in a voice as gentle as he can, with an undertone that means there will be hell to pay for whomever is responsible for this]

If you manage to hear this at any point, don't worry. Someone's coming.

[limitbreakpilot.livejournal.com]

When the hell did we get chocobos here?

[madsciencemaou.livejournal.com]

Y-Yorda?!

OI, BIRD! DON'T JUST STAND THERE PECKING AT THE DAMN SCREEN, TAKE THE JOURNAL AND GO AFTER HER! [he's heard that bird's call before, but only in one place. If he goes there and that bird has the journal... maybe if he keeps talking and follows it he'll be able to find her. If the stupid thing can even understand him.]

[tenshinomakai.livejournal.com]

Why isn't she with you!?

[permavoice]

[madsciencemaou.livejournal.com]

Sh.. Shut up...

Shut up, shut up, SHUT UP! Just... Just shut up! You think I don't know she's not here right now?! You think I haven't noticed! Shut up and let me work!

[permavoice]

[tenshinomakai.livejournal.com]

[she was going to go into a tirade, but hearing how shaken he actually sounds takes her aback and makes her calm down a bit]

...she has to be in Spira. If we split up, we can cover more ground.

[madsciencemaou.livejournal.com]

Do whatever the hell you want! I'll take care of this my own way!

[tenshinomakai.livejournal.com]

If you could take care of this on your own, she'd be safe now! I trusted her with you and now look what's happened, so no, you won't be on your own in this. Yorda has more than just you in her life and you won't stop the rest of us from looking, so you might as well just let us help you.

[there's a small, sharp intake of breath and Mao sounds for a moment as though he's going to say something back, but instead lapses into silence.] Y-You... [there's the distinct sound of something crackling] Are... Are you saying this is my fault?

[tenshinomakai.livejournal.com]

I'm saying if you don't put aside your stupid demon pride for once, it will be. Spira is Paixao's biggest floor right now, Mao! Even you would have trouble searching on your own.

[madsciencemaou.livejournal.com]

It's not about pride... [there's another crackling noise] And I said I don't need your help! I-- [yet another crackle and there's a sharp intake of breath and a gritted noise of pain, cut off by Mao quickly shutting off the recording]

[tenshinomakai.livejournal.com]

Mao... [she sighs after a moment before her own journal clicks off -- time to find a princess, maybe for Mao's sake as much as her own]

[whodoyou-see.livejournal.com]

Yorda!

[oooh whoever did this is going to be very sorry.]
