[Private]

It's been three nights now. Something's off. But what?

[A pause as he thinks about it. ]

...Whatever. I got time to figure it out. I should probably say something.

[/Private]

[dictated; he sounds pretty blasé]

Yo. I'm back. Miss me?

Also, whose the wise guy that shoved us in with the food? If that was some tradition of burying us with things we like, I'd say you missed the mark. [Though let's be real, it was probably the castle that put that stuff there. ]

Anyway...[What the hell does one even say to this] hi again I guess?

Zelos

[i_got_this]

You woke up where?

[More disturbingly, he died too?]

[whistles_the_blues]

I'm sure someone did.

...Welcome back.

[He's bad at this.]

South

[wilder]

In a big freezer. There were a few other people there too.

[wilder]

You didn't? That hurts.

Re: South

[i_got_this]

I don't know if that's better or worse than where I woke up.

Who else was there? [Because this is less awkward than asking how they all got there. She knows enough to guess and that's good enough for her.]

South FOREVER

[wilder]

Huh? [You died?] Where'd you wake up?

Uh...some blond guy was the only other awake. I didn't check the others.

[therealrisette]

[Wait... she knows that voice. It's been a while, but she's pretty sure it's...]

... Zelos-kun?!

[But... Colette said he was...

... She's really not sure how to feel about this. Or what to say. Or what to think, even. She just stares at the journal blankly while her brain desperately tries to make sense out of this.]

derp ZELOS FOREVER

[i_got_this]

[She did.] Basement. In a cryotube.

Huh. Yeah, there were other people with me in the basement but I didn't check them either.

[wilder]

[And here it comes. Newer residents marveling that he's not a corpse anymore. Zelos isn't sure how to really handle it. ]

Ahaha, the one and only.

[whistles_the_blues]

I never said I didn't. You're just making assumptions now.

[wilder]

A cryo-what?

[wilder]

Oh am I? Well my mistak. ♥

Don't worry dude, I'm back with you.

[ino]

[ there's a voice she's eternally grateful to hear. she'll try to be just as passe back, but she's relieved as hell ]

Casual, aren't we?

[wilder]

[a shrug; or there would be one if you could see it]

I had a few days to get freaking out of my system. [or learn to play it cool, whatever]

[i_got_this]

A cryo-tube. They're from my world, they help with space travel --

[But the last thing she wanted to do was talk about her own world, and she tops to take and release a deep breath.] How long you been up?

[whistles_the_blues]

...I never said I did either.

[Because he has to be difficult.]

[wilder]

[AHAHAHA YEAH, he rather not think about space either so awkwardly] ..Ah. Right.

[Going with the subject change!]

Three days now, I was just laying low. You?

[wilder]

Too late, Robot Dude. ♥

[in a staged whisper]

You missed me.

[ino]

You've been back for a few days and you didn't say anything until now?!

[wilder]

What? I'm already back early as it is, so what's the difference!

[i_got_this]

[Yeah, see? Subject change is a good thing.]

Same. Staying at my room in the castle for now. [For a moment she considers telling him she went back home, but decides that's something she still wants to come to terms with on her own.] So ...

[ino]

Other people came back too! You didn't say anything, so --

[ so she was worried, that he was the only one not coming back ]

[whistles_the_blues]

[There's a sigh.]

If you say so, you can think what ever you want.

Adjusting alright to being back?

action because eff you that's why

[wolfchild]

Zelos!

[ Arya calls up from the bottom of the stairs. She cranes her head to listen towards the kitchen in case he happened to be there. ]

[wilder]

[He'll get to the point he wants to know]

...Did you experience nothingness too?
