004 Θ Video/Offline for Port Royal

[false-oracle.livejournal.com]

[It's been three days. No sign of his sister, no answer from her communicator, no ability to even get a message to her communicator.

For someone so ready to point out the more painful truths to others, taking Schala's loss again has not been a simple matter. He would pronounce anyone else vanishing back into the darkness weak or a fool; she was neither, obviously. So this is Different.

And it's also why he's in the shadows of Port Royal, watching the Heartless and the inhabitants of this world. The communicator has come on at some point and that's about all that the camera is showing. And it's a fairly still screen because the person who keeps that particular communicator isn't really moving much.

Stepping back from the darkness hadn't kept Schala safe. So obviously, it's time to start studying these creatures more. Because if he can understand their darkness, obviously he'll be able to find her again and keep her safe this time.]

{{ooc: if you're on Port Royal, feel free to run into him... if not, feel free to harass him anyway.}}

[Isn't it nice that Hades always manages to appear when people are at their lowest point? And such an entrance... a swirl of black smoke and the Lord of the Dead was stepping out from one of the darkened alleyways. ]

Not that you have ever looked happy but today, today you look especially down, am I right?
Come on... why not tell me all about it...

[He's not the type to be impressed, really. And a trick of creating smoke before teleporting to that point? Complicated, yes, but it doesn't impress him.]

I see no reason to.

[we-schmooze.livejournal.com]

No? Well, its not like I'm going to force you to... I just thought...

[Walking away absently. ]

When some one important is missing it might be appropriate to go looking for them...

[Action]

[false-oracle.livejournal.com]

What do you know of this?

[Action]

[we-schmooze.livejournal.com]

Only that a certain person has been pulled back into the darkness. Too bad, the only way to get some one out of the darkness again is to...

Nah, I doubt you would be interested.

[With someone who seems to be studying the Heartless' habits, she comes transformed as Mercury.]

Have you been able to learn something new about them so far?

[It is a few moments before he answers her. Honestly, he was going to ignore her.

Finally the camera moves as he lifts it away from where it is, although he doesn't exactly look at it right away.

That darkness that's been not so prominent since Schala arrived? Yeah, it's back.]

Nothing particularly fascinating.

[Something doesn't feel quite right here... He's never exactly been talkative, but the way he won't meet the camera's eye, and the cold rather than cool response, make her just vaguely uneasy. Have the heartless attacked somewhere...?]

Is something wrong? If something happened, please tell me.

[Video]

[false-oracle.livejournal.com]

[He looks at the camera finally, looking away from the Heartless for the moment.]

The darkness has taken Schala.

[Video]

[innerflow.livejournal.com]

I see. [And she does, she knows the blow that is, and more: She knows Schala was everything to him.]

I'm sorry. I know that's inadequate to your feelings, but if there's something I can do, please tell me so.

( oh hey! there's a face that's been keeping to himself lately... we can't have that... ) Blue-hair!

[false-oracle.livejournal.com]

[The very sound of her voice is going to make him twitch. :| ]

Cave woman.

[ video ]

[iokachief.livejournal.com]

Blue-hair alone? ( eyebrow raise... because that seems odd... )

[ video ]

[false-oracle.livejournal.com]

You're observant today.

[iokachief.livejournal.com]

( she takes that as praise ) Ayla smart.

[rebornaninsect.livejournal.com]

You have interest in the Heartless?

[Video]

[false-oracle.livejournal.com]

Yes. [His sister has gone back into the darkness. Anything else from his world could be lost there and he would not care. This, however, is something else entirely.]

[rebornaninsect.livejournal.com]

[Well, that sounds familiar. In fact, that's the reason Golbez is doing what he is doing.]

For what purpose?

[Video]

[tippedthescales]

What are you doing? [After learning about Golbez, she's worried about losing others to the pull of the darkness.] What's happened?

[Video]

[false-oracle.livejournal.com]

I am watching the Heartless.

[He doesn't answer her for a moment.] They have taken my sister.

[Video]

[tippedthescales]

Schala? That's-- I'm sorry for your loss. Is there anything that can be done?

[Video]

[false-oracle.livejournal.com]

I doubt there is anything you can do. The darkness has taken her, so it must be destroyed or mastered.

[Video]

[tippedthescales]

Would you really seek to master something that's taken someone you care for so much? Your energy would be better spent on finding a way to destroy it and win her back.

[Frog is looking down today, too. He knows the signs of when people are missing now after Lucca and Marle's disappearances, and has been forced to accept that Cyrus has gone as well.

Not that he'll tell Magus. He would sooner be left to grieve in silence than listen to Magus' absurd gloating. The sorcerer's behaviour is suspicious, though, so he feels compelled to respond to the broadcast.]

A mere passing interest in the Heartless, was it? [ croak ]

[Coldly] Until they took Schala.
