Natalia's gone.

[It's early morning; between Natalia's sudden disappearance and Guy's little event-related affair this past week, Asch is officially in a shit mood right now, and has entered that oh-so pleasant "leave me the hell alone" mentality that he's so fond of. Thus, he's left the house and wandered off to walk along the river along the western side of the village, heading for nowhere in particular - his only goal is to get out.

If you're willing to handle his bitchery, feel free to strike up a conversation or meet him en route. He's armed but for once not dangerous, just moody. |D]

[...

SQUISHYYYY

She realized that Asch and Luke managed to separate from Squishfuzzle, but she never got to see him. Even though Asch looks angry and upset, Ammy's still happy to see him. She tones down the happy look on her face, though, just for him.]

[Asch glances sidelong at her, pausing in his step just long enough to look. After a moment he shakes his head and averts his eyes, continuing onward. He definitely doesn't want to play.]

[Well hey, she doesn't wanna play either. She falls in step behind him, watching to see if he's going anywhere in particular.]

[He's not, really, just walking down the trail along the river. He doesn't miss the fact that she's following, and he doesn't look back, but he doesn't tell her to leave, either.]

Natalia?

[Long pause.]

Oh yes, I did speak with her once.

[Voice]

[dissonates]

Is that supposed to impress me?

[Voice]

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Not particularly. Just reminiscing old, pleasant memories.

Natalia's gone...?

[Voice]

[dissonates]

[You get a vaguely agreeable grunt. |Db]

[That was pathetic, Asch. Expected, but pathetic. 8|]

[Anise is unusually quiet, at that. On one hand, it was great to know Natalia's gone and not stuck here, anymore. But after Tear left, she was her only girl-bff here in Luceti and now she's gone...]

[... Though really, she's in no position to complain, because compared to Asch...]

... Sorry, Asch. I know you guys were... [something. what were you two, anyway?] close.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Asch... I'm sorry.

[Voice]

[dissonates]

...Emil. [Crap, he doesn't know what to say to you.]

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Natalia... she was someone close to you, right?

[Asch might notice, as he walks, a spot underneath of the tress seems to be raining little bits and pieces of leaves and twigs. The branches above are also shaking a little. If he actually takes the time to look, he'll notice a small little object, a reddish light hopping around furious, cutting up leaves left and right.

Miyabi's not is a very pleasant mood either - one guess as to why - but at least she's distracting herself with some innocent swordplay.]

If...I ever...see that...two-bit...demon again--!! [Feel free to get her attention, they could both use the distraction, I'd assume.]

[He does hear/feel the ruckus above him, so he pauses to watch her as he dusts the snow out of his hair. She's attacking the tree with the same vehemence he's feeling right about now. It might take him a minute to speak up, though, as he's the quiet-observer type.]

[Action]

[chiisaichou.livejournal.com]

[She'll apologize for getting stuff in your hair later, Asch. Right now, that little Poncle's taking out her anger on a particularly large branch. She leaps right at it, sword raised above her head, but misses her footing on a bit of wet snow and squeaks as she tumbles down from the tree she was in.]

Ah--!

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

[Okay this is going to be bad.]

...hey. Um.



Can we talk...?

[dissonates]

[...Yeah probably. He feels no need to share current issues with an ex and the whole "it was an experiment" logic might take some time to sink in.]

I don't have anything to say to you. Go back to that new woman of yours.

[count-gardios.livejournal.com]

[...that could've gone better.]

Asch, come on. Please?

[Although Stella has been occupied with Senel (you know, making up and all. Yeah.), there's been enough of a break for her to open her journal and flip it around, wondering how everyone else is taking the end of the experiment. And that voice... Stella's never met Natalia, but with the way Asch said it, she sounds like an important friend.]

Asch...

[Voice]

[dissonates]

[More important than he'll ever tell anyone, which is really the worst part of it.]

Stella- [She has enough to deal with.] ...Forget it, it's fine.

[Voice]

[goldenfirefly.livejournal.com]

[And she knows Asch won't open up to deep conversation so easily. She's tempted to go out and find him, but... Sometimes it's best to just walk and be alone for a while.]

... I'm sorry.

[miamijustice.livejournal.com]

[You know, let's go for a chance encounter on the river. That sounds like a right plan; after all, this guy patrols all the time anyway.]

[dissonates]

[Sounds perfectly acceptable :|b Asch is stalking by with all the vehemence of a scorned woman he can muster. What do you do, Horatio :|]

[miamijustice.livejournal.com]

[Easy, he makes his way over with his hands on his hips a little (just... absently, not accusatory like) and then-] Nice to see you again, Asch.
