[Miranda is pretty nervous about making this call, but she knows it's something she has to do. Because the rules said so...and she only wanted to help... So she decides it's better to do it later in the afternoon, when others probably won't be where she is.]

[Private to Kanda]

U-Ummm...[pause]

K-K-Kanda?

[Another pause, then the voice is louder, but only so it's audible.]

U-Umm...a-a-are you b-busy, right now?

[OOC: Miranda is currently in Sector 6, looking nervous as she waits for Kanda to respond. If you want to run into her there, go right ahead!}

[Al sounds frustrated and a little out of breath.]

Brotheeeeer, can you come help me pleaaaaase? I'm in the library... [Yeah Al is totally in full on little brother weebling mode.]

[OOC: Warning! Thread will probably contain loads of Elric brother fluff that may or may not make your teeth rot. Read at your own risk! =P]

It's probably best to keep everyone aware, and I don't find this to be a bad thing at all. Rido Kuran has vanished from the dome. I'm sure there are certain individuals who already know... [She pauses, knowing that likely Zero, and perhaps the other hunters would already be up to date with this] But I thought that people might be happy to know. At the very least Marina is a little bit more safe. I can't foresee him coming back either. [She might sound a bit confident at that.]

Probably a bit more sadly, though...Hanabusa Aidou has disappeared as well. It's a good thing, if he returned home like I did. I'm sure he's a lot happier this way. [She sounds a bit sad but accepting because she's happy for her friend. He's free.] If anyone had any plans with him I'll apologize on his behalf. He won't be able to keep those engagements.

Ace..

[For anyone that's heard Luffy talk over the network before, they might notice that his voice seems uncharacteristically quiet and troubled. It's for good reason, though, as he's never experienced the feeling of two separate sets of memories trying to make themselves at home in his mind. It's disorienting, knowing that he's familiar with this prison and that he's never been here before.

But that doesn't matter.

He hasn't seen Ace around the prison lately, and normally that wouldn't be a cause for concern; Ace could take care of himself. But now... Luffy's adrenaline is pumping as these new memories flood into his consciousness. What if his brother was still in danger..?]

Oi! Oi, has anyone seen Ace?! I need to find him!!

[Not bothering to filter this.] Hey, Reira, was it? Thanks for the clothes. I stopped by and picked up a few of my own so I can drop these off for you later. Sound cool?

Kinda funny that you can just take things without paying in a prison.

[In the background there's the sound of clanking while she looks through the convenience store for tools--preferably a big drill--she can use to potentially take things apart with. And anyone walking by will see her dressed in this while she searches the shelves. So the skirt is a bit much, but she's comfortable in it.]

...So, just a random question. [Because she needs something to remind her of home.]

If you could transform into any bit of technology, like, I don't know, a cell phone or a toaster, even, what would it be and why?

[Because Xellos hasn't had enough to eat lately. Zelda is sitting on the grass near the memorial gardens, her cloak spread out on her lap. It's been a while since she has gone outside the shelter by herself. She tries not to do it often - there are dangerous people here, and she would rather not get involved with them. However, after hearing the good news that Rido is no longer in Marina, she feels a little more comfortable being outside.

And just in case, she's renewing the barrier spells that she had put into her cloak as she relaxes.]

[The video clicks on--oh he is going to overuse this feature, but he's sure no one will mind, right?--and Johnny is smirking into the screen, lightly playing with the leash-necklace he's wearing, but if you saw him earlier, you may notice he's now wearing a red coat with thick white fur on the fringe and a black, faux-fur open shirt beneath. Yes, he does love to change his clothes~]

Such an interesting place, this Marina. And I was told Sentience was nice, but why didn't anyone tell me just how nice?

[Holds up the ball and chain he used to be wearing in his other hand.]

I almost think I should keep it for a souvenir. [chuckles and then lowers it and a thud can be heard as it hits the ground.]

Now I've seen that there is a club on the map of the prison [wasn't hard to find at all]

Is it fun? Good music and drinks? [video zooms in on Johnny's chest before moving up to his face and the little smirk he's wearing.]

Nice company?

{OOC: Sorry for the bit of spam, but couldn't figure out how to fit this in with the last post. Do be warned that this guy loves attention, but I will try to keep posts and the like down so as to not bug everyone.}

[As his feet drag him across the halls, his head hurts and spins in confusion, anger and... hopelessness.

Wolfram truly hates to admit it, but he needs words of advise, a shoulder to cry on, someone to rant to, anything to feel better; he just can't keep his emotions and thought to himself anymore.

After having broken his communicator, he finds himself in front of the door to the only person who he trusts will give him an objective point of view and possibly, words of comfort. He really wishes things hadn't gotten so out of his control, wishes that he could fix things by himself, but by now he is sure his relationship with the person he'd have died for has come to an end. There is no solution. All he can do is wait for the bitter end to come.

Hesitates for a couple of minutes, but after a while there's gentle knocking on the door.]

Conrad, are you there?
