✜034 [voice]

[deadly_legacy]

[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.)

[blastiafreak]

Yeah, it would... [Slight confusion in her voice. If they didn't know each other, then they wouldn't know to be sad, right? But she thinks she gets what Euphie means.]

action;

[deadly_legacy]

[They wouldn't, but they should be.] Maybe that's why I like meeting everyone when they arrive. Or as many as I can...

action;

[blastiafreak]

[Everyone not friends with Euphie should be!] Because you don't want to miss anyone?

action;

[deadly_legacy]

I'd rather not. And I'd like to help if I can of course.

action;

[blastiafreak]

Yeah, I know. And for the people who arrive, it's pretty nice to be welcomed by someone like you.

action;

[deadly_legacy]

Someone like me?

action;

[blastiafreak]

Well, yeah--y-you know, someone friendly and...and kind. Like you are.

action;

[deadly_legacy]

Ah, thank you. [Blushes just a little]

action;

[blastiafreak]

O-of course. [Squeezes Euphie's shoulder again. That felt just a little awkward, but--it was nice to get it out, too. And she meant it.]

action;

[deadly_legacy]

You're a good friend.

action;

[blastiafreak]

Uh--th-thanks...Not as good as you.

...How are you feeling?

action;

[deadly_legacy]

[Like a piece of herself is missing.] I'm... I'm not sure. I think I'll be all right though. [She's been through worse, right?]

action;

[blastiafreak]

Is there anyone else at your home? [She manages to avoid asking if Euphie's alone there.]

action;

[deadly_legacy]

Suzaku is still here.

And Tumbles of course.

action;

[blastiafreak]

Oh, all right...[No idea who Suzaku is and thus she's automatically skeptical.]

If you...you know, ever feel like you need more company or--something, you can stay at our place, too.

action;

[deadly_legacy]

[Smiles. She's had so many offers of places to stay today.] I won't forget. Actually, Hanna wanted me to stay with him tonight. I told him I would.

[If Suzaku weren't there she probably would move in with all of you though.]

action;

[blastiafreak]

[And Rita's fine with that. All that matters is that Euphie can find some peace, somewhere, and Hanna seems reliable enough. So she smiles back.] Okay, that's good.
