[It's early afternoon. The journal flies open and turns on abruptly in mid-air, a blast of resonating energy having blown it away from where it had been placed. As it flies, a few flashes of red, white, and black are visible, and when it lands, Asch and Luke are in the distance, swords clashing, the rec center just beyond where they're fighting. Occasionally they'll exchange commentary, but none of it seems to filter in.

The resonating noise continues, though, and as their swords clash one more time, it seems to grow even louder than before, until finally one shout rings clear-]

Pull back you dre-

[And before he can even finish, an explosion of light flares between them, and two identical cries of alarm are the only sound that filters through that eerie resonance. The light spreads, flaring outwards and sending the journal flying backwards, cutting off the feed.

The light is probably visible to most of the village as a single beam of light flying up towards the barrier and disappearing from sight. And there is a nice big crater in the forest just south of the rec center, where pretty much anything in that location - trees, bushes, grass, whatever - has... pretty much been decimated. A journal bearing Asch's name on the cover is sitting in the grass just outside of the crater, looking pretty ripped up and charred. The scene overall probably looks pretty dooming, especially since neither of the redheads are anywhere to be found.

[ooc: most responses will come from Luke, though Asch will chime in as well when he can!]

How should I know?

[God, Asch, it's not like he knows everything! Now he wants to make it work, too, just to look like he knows what he's doing for once.]

Yeah, it looks like this crater is the only damage that was done. [ ... ] ... It'll probably all fix itself in a few days. I wouldn't worry about it.

Don't act like I'm the jerk for not lying to her. Idiot.

[Swim, swim, swim-]

Stop moving around so much!

If you don't know then you can't make it work! [Geez, so dumb.

He reaches the building in no time - thankfully they weren't too far out - and pokes around inside, checking out the panel. And... nothing seems to even react to his presence.

...Weird. Is there a switch he's missing?]

[And Luke stands right on where the teleporter should be, a little confused as to why there's not light or anything to indicate that there's someone standing there. He gives it an experimental tap with his foot, then looks back at Asch.]

Why isn't it working? [Because clearly Asch knows all about this stupid thing.]

[It takes a while for Miyabi to respond - she nodded off from the sound of the waves' swell, but when she does roll over and see the little message, the face she makes is just plain comical. Honestly, this one... Can't he just take a good luck charm and not comment about it? Gods. 8|

She rolls over, paws at the ground for a brush she just knows is somewhere, then draws something in her journal as a response to Asch's words, giggling quietly to herself. Now that her anger's been diffused, she can actually relax and joke a little bit.]

[....this is a little bit silly!

Mewtwo will just sit down now that they have confirmation of the stupid redheads' safety. He might ask for the journal after Xion's done, but for now he'll just listen.]

How should I know? I've never used it before! [He taps at the console a few more times, then curses and gives it a kick. That is sure to work.

Totally.]

...Dammit, what's wrong with this!? What's the point in announcing a teleporter that can't teleport!?

[Cue the return of Captain Scowly-Face.]

How mature.

[...But okay, it's short-lived; her cheekiness is vaguely amusing and has earned her at least half of his forgiveness.]

[Giggling again, Miyabi's tempted to ask if they're both all right, but her brush merely hovers over the journal before she closes her eyes and makes a quiet humming sound. No, they were fine. If even Asch can make witty conversation with her, then they're fine. She doesn't have to worry, or be mad at them anymore. The damage was done, and they were okay.]

It comes with my age.

Damn... Maybe it's broken. Why'd it have to be broken now?!

[Luke himself gives the teleporter a good stomp of his own. ... Nope. Nothing. He sighs and gives it a few light stomps as he glances back at Asch.]

Xion can take us back with her portals. Could you leave a note for her? [While he tries to force this thing to work.]

The ocean? But how did you get that far away? Did it teleport you?

[He's pretty sure that pillar of light was in his backyard...]

You make it sound like you're some ancient sage.

[Actually, besides her appearance, he... doesn't actually know how old Miyabi even is. People in Luceti often don't look their actual age... is this one of those cases?]

[Asch lifts a brow at Luke, a mixture of irritation and confusion on his expression. He wants Asch to send Xion a message? Why the hell is it his job to call the dreck's girlfriend? Geez...

He doesn't feel like waiting around and arguing about it, so although he doesn't know what the hell the "portals" even are, Xion can probably explain it much more coherently than Luke. Thus he heads out of the fort and leans against the side wall, jotting out a quick note.]

[Written]

Shion, we need a portal. Luke says you can bring us back.

[That actually gets her to laugh, regardless of if the audio is turned on or off. Ah, that's right...not a lot of people know how old she really is, not even her closest friends. It never came up in conversation. What would ask say if she told him how old she was, how old she'd get one day? Would he make a funny face? Man, she hopes so.]

You don't think I'm sagely already, Asch? How mean, to treat someone my age like that! But no, I'd have to be at least two hundred to be considered that old. I was that old once, during an experiment, though. [When she was an envoy. That was...weird. Not bad, just unexpected, and surreal.]

Oh, before you ask, I'm eighty-five right now. [...] I think.

[Eighty-five? Eighty-five? Good grief, that was unexpected. She does not act like an elderly woman ought to act. He doesn't respond for a bit, pen tapping lightly against the page. Hmm.]

So instead of calling you short, I should call you old.

[afhkjfkg--ASCH, YOU JERK. Miyabi tightens her grip on her journal, half shouting into it that she's neither short nor old, before remembering that the audio's not on. Hnnngh...

She grabs her brush, and hastily draws a quick scribble of Asch tied to what looks like a large, round bomb. It's blotchy and the lines are messy and uneven, but the message under it is written with care--]

Come home soon. ♥

[Oh, Miyabi. You make it so easy.]

Just so I can be blown up by a grandmother? I'd rather not.

[Karma is a terrible thing, and Miyabi hates it very much. Also, she deems writing insufficient to showcasing the level of her outrage, thus clicks on the audio.]

Asch, you're the worst! I hope you get eaten by a bear! If not, then I'll send one out to come find you!

Edited 2011-05-19 01:14 (UTC)

Yes, that's fine.

[ .........................................................

Both of them.... ]

[ WHY CAN'T ANYONE SPELL HER NAME RIGHT IT IS NOT THAT HARD!!!! ]

[ Of course, there are more important things to worry about, so she shoves the thought away for now. The message she writes back comes pretty promptly. ]

Yeah, of course. But I need to know exactly where you are. By the way, I have your journal. [ While he replies, she's going to also flip to the Guide so she can pull up a map. ]

[ Xion will remain quiet for a moment, only half-listening to them bicker as she moves to sit beside Mewtwo. Though she keeps the journal angled in such a way -- and hopes that the boys will be sufficiently distracted by not drowning -- that her face is not clearly visible, Mewtwo will be able to see that she is actually very upset.

Frankly ... she agrees completely with Asch. She's very much not happy Luke tried to lie to her, and for right now Asch's blunt honesty is what she needed to hear. But ... that will have to be dealt with later. Despite her roiling emotions right now, her voice remains subdued. ]

Please ... don't worry about it. Just focus on getting back, okay?

[Dist flips through his journal lazily when he stumbles across the two fighting. He pauses only for moment before rolling his eyes and making to turn the page. Two buffoons swinging their swords around never occupied this researcher's interest for very long. He turns the page just as he hears Asch's voice cut in, and out of pure curiosity, turns it back. The explosion over the journal is deafening. Deafening and familiar.

...Oh, those idiots. Dist sits back in his chair, turning his head toward his window and--yes, there it was. The unmistakable pillar of light from an incomplete hyperresonance.

He'll give them a few minutes before cutting in with an amused sneer.]

I do wish you both would cease your disruption of the peace... Some of us would like to enjoy the afternoon. Oh, excuse me. Are you both still in one piece, or do you need mopping up?
