[The audio starts broadcasting the gentle sounds of the outdoors long before she speaks. Her voice is a little raw. She's been crying, but she's trying not to let it sound.]

Hello.

[Another long pause.]

I'm sorry I'm not contacting everyone individually. I'm not sure who they know well. ...Knew.

[There's another pause, but this time when she returns her voice is a little shakier. All the practice and control in the world can't take the pain out of these words.]

My brother, Lelouch, and sister, Nunnally, have left the City.

[It sounds like she might say more, but after a moment the audio shuts off.]


(OOC: Forward dated to late morning. Euphie is in Xanadu curled up behind a tree if anyone wants to action at her.)

[deadly_legacy]

I don't think I would be very good company. [Yes.]

(OOC: Um...some!)

[deadly_legacy]

[Best trick ever!]

I don't think there's anything I need. [And she definitely can't think of anything that will help. Though Lelouch did most of the cooking, so food wouldn't be bad, not that she mentions it.] But...

I think... I need a few days off from volunteering at the center. [She doesn't think she'd be the most welcoming presence right now.]

[deadly_legacy]

Hanna... [She feels just a little better—less alone—at the voice.]

voice;

[blastiafreak]

Don't worry about that. Where are you right now? I can come right away.

(ooc: At least it's some!)

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

Or, perhaps, they'll come back to the City again.

voice;

[deadly_legacy]

I'm in Xanadu. [And here are some more descriptive descriptors that don't just end in "by a tree."]

voice;

[blastiafreak]

Okay, got it. I'm already on my way. [And she's off! There will be a short mage zooming over to her tree very soon.]

[deadly_legacy]

I hope so.

[Softly, more to herself.] We can be together here. [It's what she's always liked about this place, but now it doesn't even feel as selfish as it once did.]

Would it be all right if I took a few days off?

action;

[deadly_legacy]

[She lifts her head when she hears someone approaching.] Rita. Over here. [She wipes her cheek, but it's still obvious she's been crying.]

action;

[blastiafreak]

[She hurries up to Euphie, concern obvious.] Hey...

[Rita doesn't ask if she's all right. Instead, she comes right up and sits down next to her.]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Euphie. Come stay with me.

I...know it's really hard, having somebody you care about leave...and I don't want you to be alone.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

Yes, of course. I could hardly expect you to come in at a time like this.

[deadly_legacy]

Suzaku is here.

[But she doesn't want to be in their apartment right now. She and Lelouch found it together and made it a home.]

But...maybe for a little while if...if you're sure?

[deadly_legacy]

[Relieved.] Thank you, Cain. I'm sorry...

action;

[deadly_legacy]

[She looks over at her new companion and gives her a sad sort of smile.] Hi.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I'm sure.

[deadly_legacy]

[Softly.] Thank you, Hanna.

I... I don't think I'll be very good company.

action;

[blastiafreak]

[She thinks she'd rather see Euphie smiling when she's happy.] So...they left yesterday?

action;

[deadly_legacy]

[She nods.] They didn't come home and they didn't answer when I called.

[Softly] I checked the hall this morning.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

You needn't be. We're the ones who are supposed to be sorry for you.

action;

[blastiafreak]

...I'm sorry they had to leave you, Euphie. [She can't really offer reassurances that it'll be all right, so reaches up and tentatively puts a hand on Euphie's shoulder.]

voice;

[team_sociopath]

So you're all right, right? [He knows she isn't, really, but building some confidence would be a step in the right direction, and at least she's not alone.] You don't have to find somewhere to stay...

[deadly_legacy]

Ah... I don't want to make anyone worry. [But of course she is. Maybe she should have waited, but it didn't feel like it would ever be easier.]

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

I can't speak for everyone, but we'll try our best not to, but we do hope you'll be all right.

voice;

[deadly_legacy]

Yes... [Such a lie.]

We still have our apartment. Lelouch was looking for a house since it was getting a little tight with everyone. I was going to miss the apartment though... [Misses them so much more.]
