[Voice] Vatheon Community Radio #3

[goodnightsweetlisteners]

Good evening, Vatheon.

I do apologize for my extended absence from the airwaves. I'm sure that you missed me nearly as must as I missed you.

Many of you know that I have a deep and abiding interest in science. I heard that sometimes people go into these comas, and when they wake up, they went back home for a while! So... I thought I'd try it.

I have to admit, lying in bed, motionless, for a couple of weeks was pretty restful. But I don't think I went home. Or actually went into a coma. I remember every agonizing minute.

But it certainly did give me a chance to reflect on many choices I've made in my life. That's something we should all make time to do, from time to time. Reflect on the past, and you learn lessons that you can apply in the future.

I have little mini comas all the time, but I think the more common word for them is cat nap.

That's some pretty good advice, though.

[goodnightsweetlisteners]

Ohhh, gosh yes! A nice nap in the afternoon, just a good solid fifteen minutes, is the best thing ever, wouldn't you agree? I'm not really much of a cat person, but those are great.

This wasn't like that, though.

[darkasnight]

You can learn a lot from cats. [night pls]

Comas aren't something you can will to happen. Only when it's most inconvenient for you and everyone else around you do you fall into one.

[goodnightsweetlisteners]

Like what?

[He pauses] Well, I guess I got told, yeah. Maybe it was a little silly to try, but you never know if you can do something until you give it a shot!

[keepsthefire]

Hey, radio dude! Welcome back!

Aaaand voice~

[goodnightsweetlisteners]

Thanks, Rin the half demon! It's good to see you.

My name's Cecil, by the way.

o/

[keepsthefire]

Yo.

Cecil? Nice to finally know a name behind the voice!

[goodnightsweetlisteners]

I'm surprised I didn't tell you earlier, actually! But yes, I do have a name, and it's Cecil.

[keepsthefire]

We got to talkin' and it didn't come up. But hey that happens sometimes, y'know. So nice to sorta meet you I guess!

[goodnightsweetlisteners]

Makes sense! It's good to meet you, Rin. Here we are, totally acquainted, now. Isn't that great?

[keepsthefire]

Totally.

So how was your nap?

[goodnightsweetlisteners]

It was very restful! Sort of boring, though. I don't think I'll do it again any time soon.

[keepsthefire]

Can't say I blame you! I hate the comas, man. It's a nice break but I feel like I missed a ton of shit after I wake up.

[goodnightsweetlisteners]

You're right, I sure did miss a few things when I was laying around, though it would have been worth it if I'd gone home and seen my sweet Carlos.

[keepsthefire]

... you really care about that guy, huh? You've mentioned him a few times.

[goodnightsweetlisteners]

[Cecil makes a little noise that can only be described as the male equivalent of a happy squeal]

Oooh, yeah. He's quite special to me.

[keepsthefire]

[goddamn that's cute]

Heheh... sounds like it! You're lucky then, havin' some one like that in your life.

[VOICE]

[bethehugejerk]

That's not how it works, dumbass.

[Hi Cecil. Can you hear the eyeroll in his voice?]

Comas are just sleeping for longer than anyone has reason to. When you go back home, you disappear from Vatheon entirely.

[goodnightsweetlisteners]

....Oh. Well. [He laughs self-deprecatingly] I guess I got that wrong, huh?

Voice;

[dontsaymyname]

[ The first sound Cecil would hear is Barry's laughter. It's light and full of a casual amusement. ]

Did you really think that would work?

Re: Voice;

[goodnightsweetlisteners]

[He laughs, too, but with a bit of embarrassment] I figured it was worth a shot.

Voice;

[dontsaymyname]

I commend you for your inquisitiveness and dedication~

[ Barry's teasing just a little. He can't imagine Cecil had any fun, lying there for days. ]

Re: Voice;

[goodnightsweetlisteners]

Thanks! [He seems to think Barry is totally serious] Being inquisitive is all just part of my job, as a community radio journalist. And no one's ever said I wasn't dedicated to my job.

Voice;

[dontsaymyname]

[ Barry chuckles. Really Cecil you're too cute. ]

I can see that. I hope your dedication doesn't get you into trouble.

Re: Voice;

[goodnightsweetlisteners]

What kind of trouble?

Voice;

[dontsaymyname]

I don't know, someone as adorably inquisitive as you could get into a lot of trouble.

Re: Voice;

[goodnightsweetlisteners]

I'll just have to be careful, then.

Voice;

[dontsaymyname]

Please do, I'd hate to hear that something has happened to you.

[ Though in reality, Barry was probably the one Cecil should watch out for. ]

[circumsutus]

What made you think you would be able to trigger one of Vatheon's comas just by lying still?

voice

[goodnightsweetlisteners]

Well... I didn't have any reason to think otherwise, did I?

voice

[circumsutus]

For one thing, it hasn't happened that way to anyone else.

voice

[goodnightsweetlisteners]

Has anyone ever tried it?

voice

[circumsutus]

Just you.

voice

[goodnightsweetlisteners]

Then how did you know it wouldn't have worked, huh?

voice

[circumsutus]

I didn't. I asked you why you thought it would work.

voice

[goodnightsweetlisteners]

I didn't!

voice

[circumsutus]

Obviously you thought there was enough of a chance that you attempted it.

voice

[goodnightsweetlisteners]

Uh huh! [He's starting to get a little impatient. He's answered your question, hasn't he?] I mean, obviously, I did. Right? Or I wouldn't have done it.

voice

[circumsutus]

But you said you didn't think it would work.
