soul_dissonance[The frequency comes alive with a loud crack and a pop of static as the communicator is thrown against a far wall, made evident by the clatter that follows as it falls down onto the floor.]
Dammit... [Another person he couldn't save, coupled with a tragedy that hit way too close to home for comfort.]
DAMMIT!!
[Soul can be heard breathing heavily in the wake of his own shout, followed by an unsettling silence up until the recording times out.]
[[ooc Angst. It's what's for dinner. I apologize in advance for waking anyone up with this post. Backdated to whenever the fight with Tir ended.]]

[comment log]
Date: 2009-03-16 04:43 pm (UTC)Slowly, he turned his head to look over to the side at Chrona.]
Ah.
[Did he wake her up?]
Hey...
Re: [comment log]
Date: 2009-03-16 04:52 pm (UTC)A-..are you okay? I heard you yell..
[comment log]
Date: 2009-03-16 05:00 pm (UTC)Che.
[Frowning, he rubbed a few of his fingers over it before standing up and simply pocketing both of his hands. Communicator and all. He nodded his head a little.]
Yeah, I'm okay... Did I wake you?
Re: [comment log]
Date: 2009-03-16 05:08 pm (UTC)N..no, I was awake a few minutes before but uh.. [ She didn't want him to feel guilty! Pausing again, she rubbed her arm quietly. ]
..Did something bad happen? [ Chrona gestured with a small tip of her head towards his pocket where he put the communicator. ]
[comment log]
Date: 2009-03-16 05:17 pm (UTC)Sorry...
[Soul paused at the question, keeping his eyes to the floor. It was hard knowing just how to answer.
With a quiet intake of breath, he reached out and lightly patted Chrona on the shoulder. He'd take the easy road again.]
Not really... I just had a bad dream, that's all. Don't worry about it, okay?
Re: [comment log]
Date: 2009-03-16 06:57 pm (UTC)..If you're sure that's all it was..um..sometimes it helps to talk about bad dreams..?
[comment log]
Date: 2009-03-17 12:49 am (UTC)Aah... You could say that.
But other than feeling kind of frustrated, I think... the problem you're talking about will just work itself out in the end. Somehow...
Re: [comment log]
Date: 2009-03-17 02:42 am (UTC)All problems have a way of working out, whether on their own or with help.

Date: 2009-03-18 04:25 pm (UTC)The edge of his lips curled up in a smile, and he turned around to head back to his own bedroom.]
Thanks... I almost forgot about that.

Date: 2009-03-16 05:10 pm (UTC)I know you're there and I know you can hear me. So you might as well--answer.
[Voice]
Date: 2009-03-16 05:18 pm (UTC)Ah-...
[Suddenly, his voice became more clear as he picked the communicator back up from the floor.]
Hey...

Date: 2009-03-16 05:29 pm (UTC)Here's an advice: Using a "dream" as an excuse to why you're upset is very poor. I suggest next time that you want to lie and hide things from people which you and I both know that you do quite often, come up with something more believable. Not everyone will fall for the "bad dream" excuse. Be more creative than that.
Now, how about we try this again--and this time, give me a correct answer.
What's wrong?
[Voice]
Date: 2009-03-16 05:37 pm (UTC)Besides, I figured that it would be a better answer than the truth. At least that's how it sounds in my head...
That I got an ugly reminder of how bad things could end up for me if I don't keep pushing myself up against this hell in my head, and how I couldn't be there to protect someone... two people...
...how's that for an answer?
[Voice to commentlog]
Date: 2009-03-16 05:47 pm (UTC)..It's a good enough answer.
[And then, there is a click sound of the communicator before the door opens slowly; her back presses against it--not quite looking towards his direction just yet--but raises her voice to let him know she was near by.]
This city seems to be nothing but chaos; lots of destruction. And it will continue to be as such. As much as you want to protect everyone and everything, you are only one person. You can't be everywhere. You can't..save everyone. I would know--I've tried to do that too. It hurts. But...it can't be helped,..not in this city.
[commentlog]
Date: 2009-03-16 06:02 pm (UTC)He tilts his head back, looking over his shoulder as he hears Maka talking to him from across the room.]
Aah... I should know that by now. Maybe more than anyone should have to tolerate. [Soul closes his eyes.] ...You can't help being stubborn about some things, even if it makes you seem like some stupid hypocrite.
[He chuckles weakly.]
What a joke.
[commentlog]
Date: 2009-03-16 06:12 pm (UTC)Mmm, it's true. That's something..that can't be helped. But,...there is a good side to this city when it comes..to this type of situation.
[commentlog]
Date: 2009-03-16 06:24 pm (UTC)[He speaks almost in a mumble, disbelieving.]
What's that?
[commentlog]
Date: 2009-03-16 06:32 pm (UTC)What we lost...
[She pauses her speech and slowly wraps her arms around him--able to feel his scar through the fabric, a quick guilt washes over her--but she ignores it while she gently rests her head on his back.]
...comes back...
[commentlog]
Date: 2009-03-17 12:40 am (UTC)Maka...
[He can feel a bit of warmth in his face, but his mind is elsewhere. He can't be embarrassed by this now. Letting out a sigh, he simply tilts his head back and focuses on the ceiling.
She's warm... It kind of eases away the heaviness of things.]
Yeah... you're right.
[commentlog]
Date: 2009-03-17 12:50 am (UTC)[Maka bites her bottom lip as she feels her cheeks turning into a light pink color--not breaking her gaze of the floor or pulling away from him. Instead, she tighten her hold just a tad and moves closer to him if it's possible.]
But..the person..wouldn't want you upset. So...try and smile. The person would want you to...
[commentlog]
Date: 2009-03-17 01:09 am (UTC)[Soul thought about that for a moment.
Tir and Viki... they both seemed like the type of people who would want for that. Compared to their recent and tragic deaths, the whole situation seemed downright laughable. Or could have made him cry. He wasn't really the type for the latter.
His stomach expanded as he took a deep breath, and then he let out a sigh. He gave a slow nod of his head.]
You're right about that... Though I might have to take things a bit more slow. I don't like people who try to be too fake with their smiles.
[commentlog]
Date: 2009-03-17 01:14 am (UTC)A-Ahh...your..hand. Does...it hurt..?
[commentlog]
Date: 2009-03-18 04:31 pm (UTC)In response to her question, he let out a questioning hum... Then he looked at the dent over by the wall.]
Oh... that.
[He pulled a hand up, flexing a few of the fingers.]
I'm fine. I don't think that hurt me as much as it did the wall... and my communicator.
[commentlog]
Date: 2009-03-18 05:48 pm (UTC)Don't worry about the dent.
[Her eyes shifted down to his communicator, kneeling down to pick it up--also examining it; tilting the device and upside down (forgetting that she's still holding his hand with the other).]
It still looks use able. Just try and not damage it anymore. I'm not sure if the scientists will give you a replacement.
[commentlog]
Date: 2009-03-18 06:30 pm (UTC)[Soul fell quiet, turning his head away from her so that Maka wouldn't have to see that he was all-out blushing now.
W-what the hell? He was -fine-.]
...
[He gave a nod of his head.]
Y-yeah... you might be right about that.

Date: 2009-03-19 12:20 pm (UTC)[Soul inhaled. Here goes nothing.]
But unless you're planning to going back there with me, you should probably... let go of my hand first.
[commentlog]
Date: 2009-03-19 04:14 pm (UTC)Oh!
[Quickly, she lets go--putting her hands behind her back and looks elsewhere.]
Right! ! ..A-Ah...sorry..

Date: 2009-03-17 12:51 am (UTC)[Soul was quiet for a moment, thinking about how to answer Kid back.]
Would you believe me if I said "yes"?

Date: 2009-03-18 04:13 pm (UTC)I didn't think so.
[He takes a moment to scratch to his head, considering that bit of advice.] ...I'm not sure how easy that's gonna be.
[Sleeping would mean that he would have to end up probably going back there again. To the black room.]
