First Blade - Video

[actuallyniceguy]

[This is a very unhappy Guy on the network today. Anyone who knows him or the fon Fabre boys will know that he's been gone since their disappearance, trying to find them. They're his best friends (yes Asch even you). He can't just leave them out there. He's back in Union for now, needing to get more supplies.

There is a Lillipup barking somewhere off-screen.]

Still haven't found Asch or Luke. I checked the entire forest, or as deep into it as we could get right now, and I didn't see any sign of them. I'm really starting to get worried.

[Guy sighs]

Has anyone else heard anything from them?

[healthepot]

... Yes, about that. [There's just a touch of exasperation on her face and in her voice as she responds.]

They've returned.

[video]

[actuallyniceguy]

[This face]

Seriously?!

[video]

[healthepot]

Yes. Just yesterday.

[She is going to murder them both.]

[video]

[actuallyniceguy]

[He calls dibs]

Seriously? Oh, man. Please tell me they're back at the manor now.

[video]

[healthepot]

[As long as Cordelia doesn't beat them both to it...]

They are, thankfully. They'll probably be recovering from their... adventure for a while.

[video]

[actuallyniceguy]

Good, because after I wash up we need to have a talk.

[Poli?]

...and I think my Poliwag wants to spray them, but, uh. That can wait.

[video]

[healthepot]

Who, me and you or you and them?

[She chuckles at the mention of the Poliwag. Draco pushes his head into view, waving to Guy with his tail. Natalia reaches up to pat the Dragonair's head.] I certainly can't blame your Poliwag, I know Draco wants to clock the two of them himself.

Have you really been looking this whole time? [ The video was from Asch's room back at the manor. He and Luke been forced into bedrest (a.k.a. GROUNDED) until further notice. ]

Luke's such and idiot, wondering so far and dragging me along. [ Whatever feelings Asch might have had yesterday were back to his normal huffy bullshit today. ] We're back, don't worry about it.

video;

[actuallyniceguy]

Most of it, yeah. I was the only one who could, y'know.

[He makes a noise]

You could've said "no". You do it all the time.

video;

[albertstyle]

Yes, well, my usual retaliation was meet with my mother bawling in my ear about Luke venturing out on his own. Cordelia was busy, Natalia was busy -- and you! Hump, could have gone with him.

[ Ugh, someone's grumpy... ] Why wouldn't you answer your damn warp-band? [ -And don't give him some bullshit response. ]

video;

[actuallyniceguy]

I have a job, Asch. I can't just up and go because Luke wants an adventure.

[And Guy is just patient as ever]

I need to upgrade or replace my Warp Band. I don't get good signal out in the forest.

video;

[albertstyle]

Hump-! [ Like Asch doesn't have a job too, asshole. ] Typical excuse for someone who could care less.

[ Bitter could describe our 'older' Fabre rather well. ]

video;

[actuallyniceguy]

Hey, I just spent two months looking for both of you! It's not my fault my band is...not in the best shape. It's pretty cheap since I got it when we realized you two had run off. Couldn't be picky.

video.

[aerial_ace]

They just returned yesterday, and are currently resting at the estate.

[Her face is hard to read. Her voice, however, says that the moment they are up and able, she is kicking their asses. Multiple times.]

I am glad to see you've made it back in one piece, Guy. The last thing that we need is to lose another person to the wilds.

video.

[actuallyniceguy]

That's what Natalia said. Are they okay?

[He smiles a bit]

C'mon, I wasn't going very far. We're not strong enough for that!

video.

[aerial_ace]

[She nods.]

It seems that they evolved in the wild, and had a hard time shifting back. Their mother cried for hours. Things are finally getting back to normal.

[A smile.]

I know that, but you cannot blame me for being at least a bit concerned, considering what has happened lately.

video.

[actuallyniceguy]

Oh, I bet she did. And Crimson is probably still pissed.

[Then again, he's always pissed.]

What's happened lately? I was kind of out of the loop for a while there---wait, they evolved?

video.

[aerial_ace]

[IT'S TRUE.

Cordelia nods.]

Although I'm not sure when, they haven't spoken much about what happened since they left Union.

video.

[actuallyniceguy]

Oh, great.

[Dammit boys]

Other than that, what's been going on recently?

video;

[tracedarte]

I'm back, dumbass. Dad's super mad.

video;

[actuallyniceguy]

Well, yeah, of course he is. You're his son and you just wandered off with your brother and no warning! Your mother's been worried, too.

[Don't dumbass him, dumbass]

[tracedarte]

I know mom was worried! I didn't mean to be gone any longer than like a day! Geez... I know mom's upset...

[It affects him a lot, his mother being so sick. He knows he could end up like that, when he gets older, and it's scary to think about. She hadn't even been able to get out of bed to meet them when they got home. They'd spent a lot of their time stuck in Braixen form just cuddled up with her while they recovered.]

Don't yell at me.

[actuallyniceguy]

Sorry, Luke. I didn't mean to yell. I've just been looking for you guys for weeks now and when I get back? You're already home! I'm tired, that's all.

[Guy you are a saint]

...Asch being grumpy about me looking for you guys didn't help, either, but that's just Asch.

[tracedarte]

Asch's default setting is grumpy, why aren't you used to it by now? I am.

[That's a bit strange, a bit more defensive than usual, but Luke is just shrugging on the video screen.]

You should come over, I'm trapped in my room for 'a long time,' whatever that's supposed to mean.

[actuallyniceguy]

I am used to it. Doesn't meant it doesn't get to me sometimes. And I'm coming, I'm coming. I'm barely into Union, Luke.
