[Open post!

Asch is wandering around the village a bit, looking for a good spot to practice some artes without killing anyone, maybe get some thinking done somewhere other than at home. He's not in any particular mood, good or bad, so if you're lucky you'll catch his good side. His journal is open since he's checking a folded map he's got attached to it, so if you're lucky, you might hear him muttering a bit.]

...so the lake's... further west from here. Damned trees turned me around...

Cheerful as always.

[Voice]

[dissonates]

And you're just as annoying.

[Voice]

[trueknight]

I think you just get agitated too easily.

[Voice]

[dissonates]

With people like you around, it's no wonder.

[Voice]

[trueknight]

Huh. And here I was, trying to have a nice little conversation. Now I'm just insulted.

[Voice]

[dissonates]

... [And here Asch isn't sure whether he's supposed to actually be sorry or if he's being mocked again.]

[Voice]

[trueknight]

[Half and half, I'd say. Oh well, his trolling isn't going much of anywhere, so lets actually say stuff.]

What are you doing out there, anyway?

[Voice]

[dissonates]

[None of your bus- oh fine, he'll be nice for once.]

Practicing my artes. There's no sense in doing it in a place where someone could get hurt.

[Voice]

[trueknight]

Yeah, the lakeside is pretty good for that. Still, keep an eye out. I found someone in bad shape the last time I went there.

[Voice]

[dissonates]

You did? I'll keep an eye out, then.

[Voice]

[trueknight]

She was unconscious, so I almost missed her. They're really doing a number on the poor bastards they grab lately, seriously.

[Voice]

[dissonates]

They are. It's keeping the clinic busy, that much is for sure.

...Who was it?

[Voice]

[trueknight]

Yeah, at least.

... Stella Coolidge.

[Voice]

[dissonates]

[FFFFF WAT.]

Wh-what? Stella...!?

[Voice]

[trueknight]

She's in the clinic now. I'm ... not too sure if she's woken up yet.

[Voice]

[dissonates]

...Goddammit...!

[Voice]

[trueknight]

... She'll be fine. We should be more concerned about other people returning the same way. [Insensitive as it sounds, he's kinda worried about someone else showing up the same way and dying because no one's paying attention. Of course, the whole deal with Stella is bothering him a lot, but hell if he'll actually show that easily.]

[Voice]

[dissonates]

You think this is going to become a trend?

[Voice]

[trueknight]

It could. You can never tell with these guys.

[Voice]

[dissonates]

Bastards... you can never tell what they're doing to people. Some come back wounded and others are just fine.

[Voice]

[trueknight]

You'd think scientists would take better care of their 'mice'. Guess they figure the rest of us here will just clean up after them.

[Voice]

[dissonates]

...Scientists don't care what happens to experiments that are so easily replaced.

[Voice]

[trueknight]

... I wonder about that. You're probably right, though.

[Voice]

[dissonates]

Call it the voice of experience.

[Voice]

[trueknight]

[Maybe if he spent less time trolling and more time actually talking to Asch, he'd be able to bluntly ask what he means by that. Oh well, maybe next time.]

... I see.
