[It starts out with a groan. It's a soft groan, as though Anemone's a bit farther from her communicator, and by the soft squeaking right near the speaker, it's safe to assume that Gulliver, once again, got hold of the device.]

Damn it... this had better not...

[She coughs, then sighs.]

Well... it's not that bad. And you won't tell Shinji, right, Gulliver?

[The little animal squeaks out his affirmation. There's a soft shuffling, followed by a thud and hands slapping the ground. Anemone takes a breath, then the shuffling begins again. She's walking softly towards the communicator.]

This stupid rain... there's no reason for it to rain if we can't use it.

Ne... Gulliver, grab my communicator for me?

[He squeaks loudly.]

Oh... you've got it right there. Thanks--

[And then it switches to text, almost immediately:]

So, how's everyone doing out there? Still alive, right?

Some of you people keep going and people keep staying... I barely know who's even on this world anymore.

...also, when did rain become this common in Discedo?

When it rains, it pours.

How are you holding up, Princess?

[bitterage.livejournal.com]

Reminds me of home.

[voice]

[pilot_princess]

It's not raining that bad... Just... wet. And stupid. [Her voice is a lot less peppy than it has been these few days.]

...don't worry about me.

[pilot_princess]

Does it rain a lot where you're from?

[bitterage.livejournal.com]

I guess. Mostly it's just cloudy. It's a rainforest.

[prodigal-axe.livejournal.com]

Won't tell me what?

[Shit why is he in Spero right now? ...Because he has the worst luck ever of course.]

[pilot_princess]

Uh... Gulliver pooped on one of the chairs. I'll clean it up!

[IT REEKS OF LIESSS.]

[pilot_princess]

A rainforest? That sounds fun!

[voice]

[fierybluebird]

Either way is bad for me. I'm supposed to head out in this, eh? So much for flying.

That sounds worrisome though. Anything I can do before I leave?

[voice]

[pilot_princess]

I'd stay back. This stuff might sting your feathers.

Eh? What sounds worrisome? I'm fine.

[voice]

[fierybluebird]

I came back last night, just stayed at Japan's place. [That doesn't sound suspicious at all, nope.] We're heading out again, but it smells like lightning... eh, I guess we could walk.

You sure?

[voice]

[pilot_princess]

Stayed at Japan's place, huh... I'd wait if I were you. Don't go out in this stuff if you don't have to.

[She sighs.] Not really... but if I die sometime before Shinji gets back, tell him he can punch me.

[voice]

[fierybluebird]

The sooner we leave the better, otherwise idiots might try to come along.

No dying.

[voice]

[pilot_princess]

Well... just be careful, okay? Where are you guys trying to go, anyway?

...'kay. I'll... try to make this go away faster.

[voice]

[fierybluebird]

Aye, I'll be careful. It's a secret, but I'm trying to fly around the whole lake and explore it, eh?

Make what go away?

[voice]

[pilot_princess]

Oh wow... think you can do it?

Nothing. Don't worry about it.

[bitterage.livejournal.com]

Not really.

[voice]

[fierybluebird]

I'm sure of it. It might be a little painful, but I'm a phoenix, I'll manage. Bushido too.

Aw Princess, tell me already, eh? Otherwise I'll worry the whole trip.

[pilot_princess]

It's not?

[voice]

[pilot_princess]

Alright... I believe you. But don't come back with any horror stories.

And don't worry at all!

[voice]

[fierybluebird]

Eh?? But the horror stories are half of the fun!

[voice→text]

[pilot_princess]

Well... I guess, but don't have too many, and d--

[She switches back to Text pretty suddenly.]

don't get hurt.

[text]

[fierybluebird]

I will be very careful, I promise.

Why the switch?

[text]

[pilot_princess]

[And she takes a long time before she replies.]

No worrying.

[text]

[fierybluebird]

Not until you tell me what's wrong.
