My goodness... There certainly is a strange amount of activity going on lately, isn't there? And to add to it, that oddly dressed man leading that glowing girl about... It didn't really look as though they were the closest of friends, if you follow.

I do hope that he wasn't up to any... unsightly business. Though does anything good come from visiting those other floors? Goodness; I hope she's all right. Perhaps someone should go check on her...

....glowing....girl?

[finalrequiem]

That's right. Oh dear, do you know her?

[world_of_elegance]

[her voice is low, tension palpable in her words] Where was she.

[finalrequiem]

Unfortunately, I did not see where they came from, but there was mention of where they were headed, if you're interested in that.

[world_of_elegance]

Where?

[finalrequiem]

I overhead something about the "Calm Lands." Does that mean anything to you?

[world_of_elegance]

...[softly, to herself more than him] I knew it.

Thanks for the info. And who are you? Why the need for anonymity?

[finalrequiem]

Not at all. I hope that you find your friend. Best of luck to you.

Me? Well... Perhaps when you see the look of the fellow that's with her, you'll understand. I wouldn't want to turn up on his bad side, you see... Some of us aren't able to defend ourselves as well as others... I heard about what happened to that other fellow who got in someone's way...

[world_of_elegance]

... [she's always immediately suspicious of anonymous posts on this thing, but that does have some logic to it...and besides, more important things to think about now.] And what was so frightening about this guy?

[finalrequiem]

( yea. totally a valid point. and totally not suspicious at all. he's so helpful, didn't you know?? )

He was certainly the unsavoury sort. Long, white hair -- quite the ostentatious outfit, also. I wouldnt be surprised if he had some sort of connection with that awful Organization to be quite honest! I hope she'll be all right...

[world_of_elegance]

Long white -- ! Did he have tan skin?

[finalrequiem]

Goodness! You're exactly right! Don't tell me you know him?

[world_of_elegance]

[there are no words, just the whine of feedback and a burst of static as Urd lets out an explosion of power in her rage -- somewhere in the distance, a boom echoes over the city and her journal disconnects]

[finalrequiem]

Oh my... ( brb enjoying this far too much )

[permavoice]

[drillsanddrool]

Where in the Calm Lands?! Be more specific!

[finalrequiem]

( could you be anymore ungrateful, whelp? ugh... )

I'm afraid that I don't have many more details than that. My attention was more focused on the state of the girl. She almost looked... sickly.

[drillsanddrool]

[he could, actually.]

Fine. I don't need your help to find her, then. I'll look for myself! Rrrgh... What is that bastard doing?

[finalrequiem]

( not surprised... but still unimpressed all the same )

Oh, I'll hope for your safe journey, then. It's so unfortunate she didn't have good friends like you from the start -- then perhaps this whole... ordeal could have been avoided.

[shout_geronimo]

What do you mean, "unsightly business"?

[finalrequiem]

( get out of his life, eleven )

Why, I hope that no harm befalls her, of course.

[shout_geronimo]

[NEVAR. His voice is quiet and pleasant, but there's an undertone of... well, Doctor to it]

If she does, whoever she is, whoever harmed her is going to regret it.

[finalrequiem]

Yes, it's about high time someone put those... those ruffians in their place, isn't it?

[shout_geronimo]

[cheerfully] Do you know, I think it is.

[finalrequiem]

( gigantic eyeroll goes here )
