[video] 003; promise

[fabrecation]

[When Luke appears, he looks a little... haphazard, perhaps. Like he hasn't done his hair quite yet, like he hasn't totally dressed for the day. Right now, he doesn't feel like it. Not when the huge apartment suddenly feels so empty, not when he has to say what he doesn't want to say or accept.

Still, he reaches up to tuck a few strands of hair behind his ear in a nervous fashion, and he can't seem to look at the SFC.]

Hey... this is Luke.

I know a lot of people around here know Guy. Guy Cecil, I mean. Well, he... I think he went back to Auldrant. Or... [Or wherever someone goes when they disappear, and their names aren't on the network anymore.

He presses his lips together as he glances further, to a few items on the table.] He left a few things. Zelda, Zelos? If you want them, just stop by. I've got them here.

... I'm sorry.

[He's trying not to feel angry. He's trying not to take that wine glass and smash it against the wall in something like a temper tantrum. So instead, he just holds a pillow against his chest and glares down at the floor. How could he leave?! He knows he couldn't help it, but - dammit...]

video; 002. ♞ That butler, unscheduled holiday

[xthecorvus]

One can't help but be reminded of Sleeping Beauty.

[ This is said rather thoughtfully as the butler seems to be considering something. After all, for him to come to the network? It must be a pretty damn big deal to begin with. The SFC's on the table as he's ]

If I may inquire, Vatheon. How common are these... sleeping spells? I've fallen into one rather recently and much to my surprise, so has my young master. No attempt to wake him seems to come to fruition which has led me to wonder if this is something due to the city entirely.

[ And a sigh as he dusts his hands. ]

I suppose this means I have a bit of free time on my hands.

[ Another frown comes to his brow however. Because the concept of a day off is rather novel to him, truth be told. Now that he doesn't have to prepare any meals or balance any books. ]

What indeed could one do on a day off?
