Video; First Snow

[Today on the network was a blonde looking a little distracted away from the feed. She was holding the SFC, so it was clear either she had accidentally turned on the device, or it was on purpose. A beat before she turned her attention to look directly at it.]

I arrived here a few days ago and have already caught up with what is happening from those staying in the Laboratory up North. My name is Celes Chere. I’m a formal general of the Empire and a member of the Returners. I have combat skills and I can heal. If anyone would like for assistance, while the city is broken, please let me know.

You may find me in the Lab or by the wreckage of this lighthouse.

[Pausing to place a thumb over the feed. Turning the device around before removing her thumb to show the bits of the lighthouse. She didn't want to make people sick!]

I have read everything in the pamphlet and I am wearing the blue tunic as the note requested. If there is anything else, then please fill me in.

[End of transmission.]

I take on the ones that don't ask for it, too. How the hell d'ya think I got this scar?

_{[And it's the only one he kept!]}

Dunno. I don't think we've had once since it went tits up--hell, I think the last one we had skipped over me entirely.

[...why would he even-

Well there were a lot of things about him that didn't make a whole lot of sense. Not even going to try to reason with it.]

It suits you.

[Really, in a strange way, it does.]

Lucky you. [And that was concerning as well.]

What's being done about the barrier?

Yeah?

_{[Genuinely curious about that--he hasn't really had anyone say that to him before.

And then he has to think a bit.]}

...Apparently they're gonna try fixing the coral or some shit. Lighthouse went up 'round the time the meeting started, but I didn't stick around for very long t'ask around.

[It pretty much sent a clear message, in case his skeleton fragment and hole was missed, that he was dangerous.]

It adds to your charm.

[The best she can sum it up.

Looks like she will have to check for information herself.]

I'll find out later if anything important was missed.

[Maybe they should have brought yarn to the meeting to give him something to do as he listened.]

Anything else?

_{[Aww yis.]}

Charm, huh? Shit, you really must've missed me if you're calling it that.

_{[Then his hand goes to the SFC in his pocket. He doesn't take it out, but he's acknowledging that it's there.]}

...Yeah. Pay attention to the things you talk about when you got the SFC on you. I have mine off right now, but... Y'never know when the crackpots in charge are listening.

_{[That's one thing he remembers the Station Master telling him at least.]}

You got a place to stay yet, or you just bumming around?

Like a sore thumb.

[Teasing.

Pausing to fish out her SFC to turn it off. Better?]

I had thought they used the fairies for monitoring.

[It was weird not hearing on hovering by.]

I have been staying with the locals at the lab. [Which isn't conversationally stimulating, but it was pretty much what she was used to in the past.]

_[Masochist.]

That's just what I was told. Apparently the fairies went up too, but I dunno when.

_{[At least they wouldn't be a pest with that bright light when he'd try sleeping.]}

Y'sure that's a good idea?

[Not like she missed them, but still... they were kind of comforting in their own way. That was another thing she would have to find out about.]

Worried about me? I don't think they would harm anyone who is here to help out their Lamufao.

I just got you back--

_{[Nope, he's not going to finish that. He's just going to snarl to himself and kick a bit of sand up.]}

Tch. I still don't trust 'em.

[She is fine taking care of herself against the locals! Seriously. ~~And wait until it's known they are all prisoners of some sort~~.]

I appreciate it, but I'll be fine. If it bothers you that much, you can stay too.

[There were lots of rooms.]

Why would I stay with locals? I didn't have to before and I'm sure as hell not gonna start now.

_{[But he might just kind of.

Sneak around it to check up on her. He's not too fond of the thought of losing the one person he actually respected again.]}

You're the one that doesn't trust them.

[She's a light sleeper. Good job slinking around without her noticing.]

I'll be fine. I wasn't made a General for nothing.

After the shit they pull, who would?

_{[Maybe he'll have to do it in his release form. Those kitty paws do help for something!]}

Better be.

The only ones who have pulled anything was Alpha and whomever replaced him. The ones in the Labs are just the relatively happy and clueless variety.

[If she sees him, she is going to tease about those little feet.

She isn't going to call him to let him know she's okay each day. she's a soldier, not a child! Gosh.]

And if they can screw around and control us, I'd be willing to bet my left arm that they can do it to locals.

_{[He'll just stalk the contact list ´・ω・`]}

[If they kill her, her name will still be on the contact list~]

I guess I will be the first to find out then.

[She isn't worried at all. They should probably change topics because this was just going to go in circles!]

Is there anyone else still around from our time? I saw names I recognized, but there is no telling if they actually remember.

[Since she went through all of that before and really didn't want a repeat.]

You really can be a bitch, y'know that?

_{[He glances up at the sky for a moment while he thinks about it. Who else... Oh!]}

D'ya remember that broad two years ago who was flirting with me or some shit? She's still here.

_{[And it really did surprise him--he didn't expect Selphie of all people to still be in Vatheon.]}

[This time, and only this time will she take that as a sort of compliment.]

And you're rather stubborn.

[Giving a curious look.]

Really? [She's running the names through her head that might have been familiar from then.]

Maybe it's fate. [Teasing. She still remembers telling him that it might be his own shot at those kinds of affections.]

You never told me who she was.

[She might have to shake her hand for being brave and tolerant, especially if she still is trying to hit on him.]

_{[Best compliment.]}

You like it.

_{[He thinks about it a bit more, then he's just deciding to take a seat in the sand and scratch the back of his head.]}

Selphie or some shit like that--S'a weird name.

_{[Grimmjow you're not really one to talk.]}

Why, you jealous?

Edited 2013-05-12 04:42 (UTC)

I'd like it better without the name calling.

[Did he have to think that hard for what it was?

She balked at hearing the name.

Oh gosh now she feels terrible about the things said long ago. She knew Selphie crushed on a number of people if the thought bubble curse was anything to go by. It also meant Selphie was a lot braver than she looked.]

Surprised actually. Selphie, huh? I'm glad to hear she's fine.

[How many people did she lose while here?]

I'll have to visit her when I get the chance.

I get that a lot. _{[A beat.]} Celes.

_{[See? See? He's getting there!

Maybe she's just into the dangerous type :3 Meow.]}

Last I saw, she was in a hospital bed or some shit without her eyesight. Dunno how she is now, honestly.

_{[But blind or not she still seemed fine to him!]}

[That wasn't so hard, right?

Giving a smile.]

Much better, Grimmjow.

[She doesn't have any kitty treats to give him. And maybe.

OH dear though. Frowning as she heard that bit of news. Maybe a blind spell? Maybe she was injured gravely? Celes will have to find out.]

I see.

_{[Shhh, he's not admitting anything.]}

...Y'know, hearing my name outta you isn't that bad.

_{[He might have to find excuses to get her to say it more often.]}

'sides, a little blindness never killed anybody. Believe me, I've had my arm lopped off by a blind man.

I'll consider using it more often if you return the favor.

[And that will get a raised brow.]

You must lead an interesting life.

[She's still worried! She liked Selphie when they spoke in the past.]

...It's been two years since we've seen each other. I think I can do that.

_{[Just for a little while, anyway.]}

If you knew the half of it might actually worry you for once.

_{[Humans and their friendships, man. It's so...

weird.]}
