MESSAGE: Did you ever take any ADAM or EVE?

[Just out of the blue and direct because honestly he's feeling miserable himself.]

[endowedninja]

Those red and blue gels? Yeah, I used the blue one, which really didn't last too long after a while.

Why?

[Yep. She's addicted to the effects of EVE, only she doesn't know it.]

[luxuriant]

[Damn it that is not what he wanted to hear. He's not sure he's in the right state of mind to even talk her through this either.]

Haven't you run out? Those things make you dependent on them. It's not gonna be pleasant but you have to stop before it gets any worse.

[endowedninja]

[It'll take several minutes for her to respond as she re-reads the text a few more times. She had just taken one not too long ago, even though she swears she hadn't used much of her mana.]

What do you mean? They were just weaker versions of it, right? Only they forgot to change the color and name...

[Yep. Honestly thinks the things are weird gels.]

[luxuriant]

[Oh my god Sheena how]

No they're not! Just trust me for once would you? Stop taking them!

[endowedninja]

[No one told her... And she has that bad habit of acting without thinking at times... And he's scaring her right now, but she's not going to tell him that.]

Okay! I'll stop! [A pause.] What do you mean by "dependent", though?

[If he had been there, he'd see her expression as one of those "I have an idea what you mean, but I really want to be wrong about this".]

[luxuriant]

[It takes a minute for him to respond. It's good he has the time to think between texts. He's really not doing too well.]

Stopping is going to make you feel horrible. You'll run out of mana and get headaches along with other things, but if you keep up with it long enough it'll get better.

[He thinks. He hopes.]

[endowedninja]

[Damn. She had already experienced some of that when she had run out--only to feel better when she took the EVE. Damn.]

Like being sick? [She's not looking forward to it, but she's gotta do it! Though...]

Zelos, how do you know all this?

[luxuriant]

Yeah but worse.

[And ah, it's easier to lie over text, so the next is included smoothly.] It's a better question how you don't know it yet. People from the ship are affected all over from the looks of it. The further you go into the city, the more you can see just how it isn't thriving anymore.

MESSAGE: Hey Sheena? You there?

[endowedninja]

Zelos? Yeah, I'm here.

[Now why hadn't she thought of doing this instead of searching for him on foot?]

You too, huh?

[luxuriant]

Looks like it's the three of us again! At least, I haven't seen anyone else.

Did you manage to get home okay? I was back for about a month, but it looks like Lloyd was only there a week or less.

[endowedninja]

Yes, it's the three of us again. I haven't seen anyone else, either, but this place is so big that I haven't had a chance to explore everywhere yet.

Lloyd was only home for a week? I was home for about as long as you were and thought Lloyd had been, too. That's kind of weird.

[luxuriant]

Well... time is always weird when it comes to these COMPASS guys. At least we're all here together!

But yeah, talk about a bummer for Lloyd, right? Maybe you should go give him a big kiss to make him feel better, hmm?

wow. I never got a notif for this.

[endowedninja]

I'm beginning to see that. Does that mean if we're from different times now, we were then, too?

[She's thinking it's a matter of weeks again.

And there's a veeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrry long silence before she responds as angrily as possible in text.]

A KISS? WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!

hahaha no worries

[luxuriant]

[...Yep. Not gonna answer that first one.]

Whoa there, Sheena. I think you left the caps on! Wanna take a moment and fix that?

Actually, they went into spam...

[endowedninja]

[So not fair...

and another silence as he gets almost the same message again. Only slower (like distinct one letter at a time slower) as she makes sure to type it correctly.]

There. It's fixed. Now do you want to tell me what exactly you meant by that?

[Aaaand she's relaxed into glaring because kiss Lloyd? How...absurd. (Good thing this conversation isn't in person, or he'd see a blush under that glare.)]

text; week 6, day 3

CONTACT: barnaby.brooks.jr@compass.net
MESSAGE: ... I apologise for my conduct last week.

That is all that I wanted to say. I understand if you cannot forgive me.

[endowedninja]

Huh? What are you apologizing for?

[ex_nearsighted397]

[ He's not sure if she's playing up the cluelessness, or... ]

Do you recall what transpired last week?

[endowedninja]

[Nope. Not being clueless.]

Yeah...Not all of it, but most of it.

Wait. You're apologizing for that? Why? You did nothing to apologize for.

[ex_nearsighted397]

... How can you be so forgiving?

[endowedninja]

Barnaby, what would have happened if you hadn't stopped me?

[It's not something she really wants to think about, but she knows what could have happened.]

[ex_nearsighted397]

You may have been a danger to yourself or others.

[ While he understands that, it doesn't mean that he likes it. ]

[endowedninja]

Exactly. Although, it's the others I'm referring to--including you. You were protecting them with what you did.

How could I be mad at you for that?

[She's actually asked herself how could she not be mad at him, and that's the reason she came up with. Although, she's mad at herself for putting him in that position to begin with.]

To be honest, you should be mad at me.
