[recorded; pacing footsteps, a very frustrated Elk]

She's not here!

No — she has to be here!

I hate this! She's still in The World — I want to go back! I have to!

I've been here too long. I — Mia's been by herself too long. She's still—

[an uncomfortable pause, followed by more pacing]

I hate this. I hate it...

[/Private]


[after indistinct muttering and a long pause, something else is recorded: the sound of Elk's journal being thrown against the wall, then falling to the floor]

Elk-dear?

Recorded; journal is kicked open some time later.

[repthplease.livejournal.com]

[not in the best of moods]

...What?

recorded;

[isgod.livejournal.com]

Are you all right?

Recorded

[repthplease.livejournal.com]

[tersely]

I'm fine.

recorded;

[isgod.livejournal.com]

It's bad to lie.

Recorded

[repthplease.livejournal.com]

[an eye twitch and a frown]

I'm not.



Go away.

recorded;

[isgod.livejournal.com]

You are~

You're not in very cheerful moods.

Recorded

[repthplease.livejournal.com]

... [refraining from saying something like 'shut up']

How can I not be?

recorded;

[isgod.livejournal.com]

You should be smiling more. I am not sure if I've seen you be so happy except when you were high, but I do not think that counts.

Recorded

[repthplease.livejournal.com]

Ugh...

recorded;

[isgod.livejournal.com]

J00 k?

Recorded

[repthplease.livejournal.com]

I'm fine.

recorded;

[isgod.livejournal.com]

I thought it would cheer you up.

Unconvincing.

Recorded

[repthplease.livejournal.com]

I don't need cheering up.

[a very long pause]

recorded;

[isgod.livejournal.com]

Ah, that again?

Recorded

[repthplease.livejournal.com]

[ouch - another pause]

Yes, "that again". She has a name.

recorded;

[isgod.livejournal.com]

[teasing] Does she now?

Recorded

[repthplease.livejournal.com]

[you're so not helping, Kharl]

It's Mia.

recorded;

[isgod.livejournal.com]

Mia. Missing in action.

Sorry, sorry. I'm trying to put a lighter spin on this.

Recorded

[repthplease.livejournal.com]

...

[sound of Elk promptly tossing the journal over his shoulder and hitting the floor]

recorded;

[isgod.livejournal.com]

My bad~~

[filter;]

[xxice-bullet.livejournal.com]

Kao- Elk?

[Shito]

[repthplease.livejournal.com]

[recorded; a while after shoving away Kharl]

...What is it.

[Elk;]

[xxice-bullet.livejournal.com]

[pause]

It seems anyone can come here. She'll show up.

[Shito]

[repthplease.livejournal.com]

[a pause, then a few incoherent, false starts are recorded]

Even if she would never come here, I want to at least know that she's back to normal. I want Mia to be okay. That's all I want.

But now I'll never know.

[Elk;]

[xxice-bullet.livejournal.com]

...

Hm, I feel like I'm missing something.

[Shito]

[repthplease.livejournal.com]

[a half-hearted laugh]

[Elk;]

[xxice-bullet.livejournal.com]

...

Hm. Not my place to ask.

if it was like with that person then... [gone]

[Shito]

[repthplease.livejournal.com]

...

[a very long pause as he thinks, remembers]

Mia was...sick. Something was wrong with her, and it kept getting worse. ...Until I found her at the bottom level of a really big dungeon.

...

[Elk;]

[xxice-bullet.livejournal.com]

Huh. Anyone would be worried in your place.

The only thing I can say is... Wish her well. Perhaps the castle can pull her from that state, if the time differences are any indication.
