intro post! :D
[ The feed cuts on accidentally, the audible sound of different icons being clicked even as the camera focuses on two faces staring directly into it. ]
--that can't be right. We haven't even gotten to fight Nyx yet.
...That was some time ago, Akihiko. At least, as I remember it. It might be hard to swallow, but we graduated a while ago as well. It's hard to believe you do not remember any of this. [A pause.] I believe it's working now.
But how is that possible...unless Nyx really did do something to my memories.[ His frown deepens into a scowl, more from frustration than anything else. ] But not yours? Argh, that makes even less sense.
[ Oh, hey it is working. He bites the finger of the glove on his left hand, pulling it off so he can scroll more effectively.]
What're we looking for?
Anything with information this place and how to find an exit. Here, let me.
[She reaches over and takes the device from him, obviously short on patience. Is he a little sad she took it away from him? Maybe. But he's used to it given by the fact he doesn't even bother to fight it. ]
We're just wasting time. They're not going to mark it on the map for us.
Obviously not, but there might be some leads-
[ At this point, a figure shows up in a far corner of the camera, approaching the duo. He appears to be carrying something big on his shoulders, and stops for a moment when he spots them. ]
Hey!
[The image jerks up, and there's a pause before she speaks, as if having seen a ghost.]
....Shinjiro?
...
[ There's absolutely no way that can be real. Akihiko swallows, turning around. He just stares for a long, awkwardly quiet moment.
And then all but lunges forward. ]
Shinji!
[ It's unsure, at first, if he's going to attack or embrace him, and ends up being a bit of both. ]
Finally, I was--oof!
[ Shinji wasn't paying notice to the other two's expressions at first, and definitely wasn't expecting it when Akihiko's weight is suddenly thrown on him. He staggers backwards, totally bewildered. ]
What the hell, Aki?
[Mitsuru fumbles with the device for a moment, hands shaking, before setting it down carefully and running to meet the other two original SEES. This had to be some kind of dream, and she cant resist placing her hand on his vest just to make sure he's solid.]
How is this possible...?
Oi.
[ He's a little flustered, and when even Mitsuru joins them he just doesn't. Know what to do. Especially when Aki's still latched onto his neck like this. ]
What's gotten into you two?
[ In an attempt to free himself, he pushes (not too hard) at Aki.]
Get off me.
[His voice is a little muffled since he refuses to back off, and he sounds like he's on the verge of choking, but he looks so damn happy right then. ]
I don't know what's goin' on...but it's good to see you haven't changed.
[It's a good thing her back is turned to the camera, because the beginnings of relieved tears are in her eyes as she smiles, fingers curling a little in his jacket.]
We can figure out how this is possible later. For now, its just good to see you again Shinjiro.
[ He pushes again at Aki, other hand hovering by Mitsuru's shoulder and not knowing what to do with her. They both act like he's been dead for ages or something which obviously didn't happen. (Or at least... hasn't happened yet, which doesn't make sense anyway.)
Eventually Shinji just snaps, though, and grabs onto their waists to lift them up with his arms, then placing them down on the ground. ]
Get a grip!
[ Don't embarrass him, damn it. ]
[ Is he laughing? Yes, Akihiko is laughing. ]
You got a pretty good one.
[Mitsuru takes a small step back, laughing as well, though it's much more muted then Akihiko.]
My apologies. We should continue this reunion elsewhere though. And find out more about what this place is.
[ You're laughing Aki? Guess who's not laughing. ]
Reunion what? We were just together five minutes ago. [ grumbling ]
[ Akihiko frowns at that, turning his back towards the camera once he's on his own feet again, as Mitsuru walked towards the device, reaching out for it.]
You...really don't remember? In October...you got shot. [ He exhales sharply. ] You didn't make it, Shinji-
[click.]
