I'm alive awake alert enthusiastic ♫

[chosen_gigolo]

[Guess who's awake! Seems like he's not the only one, either.]

So, uh, guess it was my turn for one of those coma nap things. Seems like I missed some crazy shit this past week, what with the coral freaking out. Anything else going on I should know about?

And for all my hunnies, I hope you weren't too worried♥ The Great Zelos Wilder is just fine~

[Filtered to Guy]
You okay man? I was kind of out of it already the last time we talked.

[Filtered to Kratos]
Stay the fuck out of my house!

[Filtered to Ky]
You are the neediest little SOB I've ever met. It's like you want in my pants or something, geeze.

My apologies. Something was the matter with Lloyd, I wanted to be sure that he was alright. It appears that you were adequately protected, regardless.

[That barrier really gave him a jolt the second time, damn thing.]

Like you even have a right to check on him! Pretty sure you already forfeited any rights to parental concern, asshole.

I will not interact with him. You are correct in that my presence will likely only do him harm. However...

[This is where Kratos deviates from how he usually behaves around Zelos. Usually, he backs down easily, cowed by his own guilt. Not this time. He narrows his eyes and looks directly at the screen.]

If you think that I will not watch over him with Mithos present in this city, you are mistaken. He believes Mithos to be a friend. You and I both know how easily he can be hurt that way.

... I--

[Ky hit respond but he doesn't know what to say to that for a moment, beyond turning a little pink. He clings to his anger at Zelos as protection, when he thinks to.]

I wanted information out of you! You promised to answer my questions later and I thought you were just ignoring me!

[chosen_gigolo]

I probably would have since you're so annoying. Being so noisy makes me want to ignore you even more.

[Why yes he's pushing Ky's buttons on purpose~ And... huh. He's blushing. A slow grin crosses Zelos's face.]

What, was I right? Turning a little pink there, justice boy.

[Ky swallowed, glaring at Zelos. Why would he think...! Clearly he was just projecting his own sinfulness.]

Of course not! I wouldn't!

Are you ready to tell me about what happened yet?

[Text]

[grandhealer]

You sound better than you were before.

[Text]

[chosen_gigolo]

Yeah, a week long nap is just what I needed apparently. What about you? There a reason you keep just using text?

[Text]

[grandhealer]

Good. I've been better. Following the advice of others, regardless of what others might say, can be rather exhausting.

[It's--]

Zelos! You're alright again! [Don't mind her, she didn't talk to you for the day she was awake and you were alive again :|]

Voice

[chosen_gigolo]

[Oh Colette's awake too! That's great~]

Yeah! No worries, Angel-hunny♥ How are you doing? I heard you took quite a nap too.

Voice

[clumsyblonde]

I'm fine! I think I was only out for a week. How long were you asleep?

texting text text

[seablaze]

not sure about anything related to you
been busy
think i saw your pretty blonde friend worried about the coral

text~

[chosen_gigolo]

What, Zelda? Yeah she's pretty high strung about that thing but apparently there's a reason if its power keeps fluctuation or whatever.

You alright?

[Something seems... a little off.]

text

[seablaze]

yeah. her. wasn't there for it but heard dinosaurs invaded when it was low previously.

...my best mate is a mess. not sure what to do in this situation.

[relinquishing]

Well, look who decided to show their pretty face!

Can't say your timing with that little nap was the best. But hey, it's good to see you awake. [He won't really prod on that more - knowing Zelda, she's probably already given him the rundown. Multiple times.

His smile softens, giving a short, dismissive wave with the back of his hand.]

And hey, don't worry about any of that. You'd had a long couple of weeks - can't blame you for feeling a little out of sorts or anything.

[chosen_gigolo]

[He smiles broadly at Guy. Looks like his mood's a lot better than before Zelos's impromptu cat nap.]

It's amazing what a little beauty sleep can do for the complexion~ I guess I did need some time to recover though.

You too I guess, you look a lot better.

[He wouldn't normally be so candid but this is a filtered conversation so why not?]

[Video; Filtered]

[relinquishing]

[Snrk. Oh Zelos.

He does pick up on that more abrupt statement, eyebrows raising slightly. Huh.]

Mm? I guess so. Can't say I've noticed that much, but thanks.

[instabilities]

[you... hunnies?? kind of cracking her up lmfao.]

It seems you've woken up to more and more people showing up. [which should come to a halt soon if the info she's gathered on her own holds enough veracity.] Coma nap?

[do tell her more, mister!]

[video]

[chosen_gigolo]

Huh? Oh, it just happens sometimes if you don't touch the coral for too long.

[His face breaks into a wide, charming grin.]

You must be new~ Hello there my raven-haired beauty♥ I'm Zelos. Whom do I have the pleasure of addressing~?

[oh that makes se-]

[instabilities]

[-nse?!

what. red eyes blink and her lips slowly... quirk... quite a reaction, that one! certainly isn't one she's used to.] Yes, I've arrived just recently. [a beat.] My name is Lacie. It's a pleasure to meet you, Zelos.

[smile, smile c:]

[video] and hi I'm so late

[innocentgear]

Were you sleeping for long? Are you okay?

[video] no worries

[chosen_gigolo]

I'm fine, hunny! Only asleep for a little over a week. Were you worried about me~?

[Ah, wait.. She knows Ky, right? He vaguely remembers her saying Ky should take her to the amusement park at Valentines.

Well well...]

[video]

[innocentgear]

_{[yes, she knows Ky and was on a kind of date with him some time ago.]}

A week is still quite a while. _[smile.] But I'm glad you're okay.
