[No. No no no not again. This had to be a joke right?

As soon as Sora saw that first name he attempted, yet again, to contact Cloud and got nothing. The messages wouldn't go through no matter what he tried. Panic started to set it as he turned his audio on, attempting to keep his voice steady.]


Cloud's back though, right? Like last time--he's back isn't he? Has anyone heard from him??
bywolves: (fuck the what.)

[ Royce isn't going to make Tifa do this. So. ]

He hasn't come back, no. It's been almost a week.

[Duster isn't his favorite person but right now that doesn't matter.]

But he--there's..there's still a chance...isn't there?
bywolves: (you're going to regret that.)

[personal profile] bywolves 2016-07-28 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)
There is. It's not a high chance, but there is one.
seekthelight: (Default)

[personal profile] seekthelight 2016-07-28 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yeah. Yeah there was totally a chance..so he was going to cling to that. Cling very hard to that.]


Is...is Tifa okay?
bywolves: (distant stare.)

[personal profile] bywolves 2016-07-28 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
She's doing better. [ Royce is cautious here - he still doesn't want a lot of people to know that he and Tifa are... friends. ] She's tough.
seekthelight: (♔93)

[personal profile] seekthelight 2016-07-29 01:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Good. I...good. [Sora's quiet a moment before he sighs.] Thank you for letting me know.
bywolves: (you're going to regret that.)

[personal profile] bywolves 2016-07-29 02:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm. [ And that's about all he'll offer in return before hanging up. He can let Alfie take care of the comforting stuff if he feels the need. ]
devoutish: (like booze ever killed anyone)

[SCREW YOU ROYCE he's not going to comfort Sora you can't make him]
devoutish: (that's just murder math)

[personal profile] devoutish 2016-07-28 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
You know him?
seekthelight: (♔53)

[personal profile] seekthelight 2016-07-29 01:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. From here and from back home--just..a different version.
devoutish: (put your money where your mouth is)

[personal profile] devoutish 2016-07-29 02:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. He was traveling with us, for a short time. What's your name?
bywolves: (shadows.)

[not here... for now]

[This doesn't come until later in the day. Momentary triumph and then Ecks. He doesn't even know who Royce Melborn is. The other names don't mean that much to him apart from Shiro...]

oh, screw you, eve
if you think you can pull this bullshit automated system crap now that we know you're a human
get over yourself
you don't mourn anything

What the hell happened to Ecks?

[ It takes a while for him to respond because he hit Ecks' inbox up and he's not even sure what to even say. He can't say it's fine or don't worry about it. It's not fine. This isn't okay. ]

this frickin sucks

Yeah. Hopefully, she'll come back.

Levi came back after fifty one days.

[ So he'll wait longer than that for her \o/]
jumpthegun: (srs | glance)

[personal profile] jumpthegun 2016-07-31 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
I'll keep an eye out for her, then.

[Peggy. John can't help it, he slams his fist against a wall when he sees her name. He's failed Bucky, then. If he'd just turned around and gone for her first...

It's a dangerous way of thinking and he knows it, but God damn it, people he's supposed to be taking care of keep dying.
People he's promised to take care of keep dying.

And Duster's name isn't up there, which means he's actually named Royce Melborn by process of elimination. John wonders if Gwen's last name was the same.]

[No, but you know what? Fine. John is going to direct his message to try to ping @ADMIN.]

Eve, this has to stop. I know you're trying to keep us all informed, and I'm sure this is some sort of system design for when the plague hit, or maybe when the disaster hit, but this needs to stop. You list off names for people who have already come back, and seeing that name up there, thinking they might not come back hurts like hell.

I don't know if you can at least change the message? Something about them awaiting revival instead of dying? It's small, but it shows that there's something you're actively doing to try to fix what's happened. Or how do you actually bring people back? I know you must have limited resources. It seemed like you and Mr. Miller were working against each other when we were down below. Is he doing something to undermine your powers?


['Or were you working together to manipulate us all along?' That question isn't asked, but it's forefront in John's mind.]

[Agent Carter too.

He feels a swoop of guilt at Cloud's name, even though the death wasn't by his hands this time, but it's her name that stabs him clean through. Steve would have wanted him to protect her and he didn't, now she's gone too.

Watson's name isn't on the list. Does that mean he never made it to her, did he even try? Had Bucky been a fool to put his trust in him?

There's just the sound of something being thrown against a wall in frustration.]

[Part of him almost expected to see Peggy's name after Steve's came up. They were always together, after all, and if Steve ran across trouble, doubtless Peggy did, as well.

Realistically, England knows it's probably not related. Steve's obituary was nearly a week ago. But the world has a funny way of working sometimes.

He sets the tablet aside, screen side down, and takes a deep breath. His hands come up to press his palms against his eyelids as he leans his head back against the wall he sits near. Though there's a knot of weight in his chest, his mind is still numb with the shock of seeing her name.]

[personal profile] fifty 2016-07-30 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
[America knows it's obituary time. There are fewer and fewer things he cares about lately, but England remains firmly ensconced. He's already not too far from England, but he presses right up against England's side now.]
keepscalm: (036❦I may not evermore acknowledge thee)

[personal profile] keepscalm 2016-07-30 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
[England dimly registers the shift of America's weight against him. He knows America means to comfort him, but they both know by now that there's little to soothe the yawning gape that the death of a citizen leaves in their hearts.

He takes a few more breaths before his brain fires enough signals to get him to speak.]
It's Peggy.
fifty: (☆ ain't got the same soul)

[personal profile] fifty 2016-07-30 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
[That's enough to remind America of Steve, who still isn't back.] I'm sorry. [He means it, even though it's kind of dumb to say. He's bad at knowing what to say about things like this on a good day.]
keepscalm: (090❦my heart hath scaped this sorrow)

[personal profile] keepscalm 2016-07-30 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
[What else is there to say, really? England can't fault America for his lack of eloquence.] Yeah. [Another breath, shaky this time as England's mind finally begins to whirl with guilt. He leans against America in turn without completely realising he does it.] So am I.

[Clever, kind, beautiful Peggy is dead. And he doesn't even know how it happened.]
fifty: (☆ ain't got the same soul)

[personal profile] fifty 2016-07-30 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
[America touches England's elbow gently. He can't take England's hand right now, but he would if he could.] D'you wanna--take a break today, or whatever...?
keepscalm: (109❦beseige all kinds of blood)

[personal profile] keepscalm 2016-07-30 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
[There has to be something England missed. Something he could have done. He should have gone to her when he saw Steve on the last obituary. If he'd been there...]

Might as well. We haven't got anything else to do, anyway.

[It's never a great sign when England opts for laziness over finding more work for himself. Oh well.]
fifty: (☆ ain't got the same soul)

[personal profile] fifty 2016-07-30 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
[That's not a good sign at all when England is involved. America grabs for his hand, pulls it away from his face.]
keepscalm: (081❦the breathers of this world are dead)

[personal profile] keepscalm 2016-07-30 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
[England's face beneath the protective mask of his hands is pulled in distress, wrinkles at the corner of his mouth and between his eyebrows. It doesn't come through in his voice, which is flat and distant, but he's clearly feeling a bit tumultuous.

Three. He's down to three now, isn't he? As far as he knows, anyway. There could be more of them wandering around and England might never know.

He lets America take his hand without any fuss, and the other one falls away as its companion is tugged. At least his fingers curl around America's hand in response.]
fifty: (☆ the days of old)

[personal profile] fifty 2016-07-30 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
I still think we can figure out how to get home and get people somewhere safe. [It's not as aggressively optimistic as he wants to be, but England doesn't always react well to that.]
keepscalm: (059❦your image in some antique book)

[personal profile] keepscalm 2016-07-30 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
We have to. [He tries to let out his unruly tangle of emotions in a sigh. It abates some of the overwhelming urgency, but the guilt is still heavy in his stomach. Though there's resolve in his voice, it's grave, weary.] There's no other option.
fifty: (☆ cheer up comrades)

[personal profile] fifty 2016-07-30 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. [America doesn't sound as tired, but he rarely does. He squeezes England's hand.] We'll do it. We definitely can.
keepscalm: (036❦I may not evermore acknowledge thee)

[personal profile] keepscalm 2016-07-30 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
...yeah. [Certainly, they can. If there's a way to bring them here, there's a way to bring them back. Whether they'll actually find it is the real question, and England's doubts grow the longer he's exposed to the aimless chaos of the town.

Unwilling to let America guess at the direction his mind is spiralling in, he squeezes back. While he doesn't sound insincere, there's little energy in his words.]
Thank you.
fifty: (☆ we shall breathe the air again)

[personal profile] fifty 2016-07-30 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
[America can't guess at where England's thoughts are going, but he can hear the tone of his voice.] I'll stick with you. Promise.
keepscalm: (144❦I have of comfort and despair)

[personal profile] keepscalm 2016-07-30 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
[England's hand squeezes America's again, this time like a vice, desperate in its intensity. England's expression doesn't change much, but there's a telling waver in his voice that betrays the thought which immediately crossed his mind.] You'd better.
fifty: (☆ cheer up comrades)

[personal profile] fifty 2016-07-30 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
I will. [For just that moment, America sounds completely serious. He means this promise.]
lacecase: (Please listen!)

[personal profile] lacecase 2016-07-30 08:35 am (UTC)(link)
[The last few times that Ginger's comforted England, she's been somewhat reserved about approaching him. But now, they know each other so much better. They've been through some tense, scary times, and some gross times, and they've trusted one another with some secrets. So...instead of sitting awkwardly, or asking if it's okay to sit down, she instead invites herself to wrap her arms around his shoulders. She knows that America can comfort him (and has comforted him) more thoroughly than she ever could...but she wants to be there for him, anyway.]

I saw.

[She knows who it's about. She's really starting to understand. At least, as best as someone like her can.]

You don't have to say anything.
keepscalm: (109❦I was false of heart)

[personal profile] keepscalm 2016-07-30 06:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[To his credit, England has gotten used to Ginger's affections. He doesn't shy away from her gesture, though he does feel a knot of shame at the idea that, once again, he's burdened her with his nation-related baggage.

He heaves a world-weary sigh and lifts a hand to place it on one of the arms wrapped around him.]
Thank you.

[He's tired, but he really means it. He doesn't deserve someone like Ginger.]
