10 Souls [Voice Post]

[soul_dissonance]

Welcome back, Linda... Chrona. Heh. In the end, it looks like I was the useless guy after all, huh?

That's great... To wake up and find someone who is important to you standing right in front of your face. Maybe I'll luck out too, someday.

Hm. So I guess I missed the party, huh? Sorry, Nill. I'll try to find you something nice, if you want. Though I doubt that there is much to be found in a dump like this.

To be honest, I haven't had a lot of time to think about things like that lately. After that little bit of quiet, in came the noise. I'd thank you for giving me the chance to vent some pent-up energy and stress, but first you have to work on remembering my name, you demon-faced bastard. At this rate, even the Princess is starting to look smarter than you. And speaking of brats... I think that I almost forgot about someone. I wonder what he's up to now?

The air has been feeling different around here lately, and I've been suffering from a bad headache that has been coming and going over the last few days. ...Something is up, but I just can't put my finger on it. Thankfully, I don't need to do my homework. It seems that a few of you guys have gone down into the subway and done that much for me.

[Sighs audibly, and scratches his head] So... has anyone seen my shoes anywhere? I set them down beside the couch before I went to sleep a few days ago, and by the time I woke up the next morning they were gone. After hearing what's been going on, I'm not about to spaz out over it like some of you have been doing lately. I've seen weirder things than shoes running around by themselves back home. But... my socks aren't going to last very long at this rate.

Nn...? Oi, and am I the only one who is starting to hear things scratching around the apartment at night?


From the sound of it, I'm guessing that they weren't just words after all.

So, does that mean that you've finally decided to pick a side in this? I only hope that you know what you're doing...
I'm not afraid of cutting you down if it ever comes to that.


A few days ago, a acquaintance of mine mentioned that he was interested in getting the chip removed from his body, with or without anyone's help. He heard about the location from a friend of his who blurted it out, and a scientist by the name of Washu seems to have played a hand in that operation. Have you heard of her? If not, I'd suggest getting in touch with her real soon.

As for the one who shared this little story with me, Kadaj... He's not planning on playing by the rules. It wasn't hard for me to figure this out, since he is able to sympathize with someone like Walter.

I don't know what his abilities are like without the chip. But if someone is able to keep those powers in check, then I think we'd be better off. He's easily influenced, and marches to the beat of his own drum. Except that he doesn't care about loose morals. Be careful.

...

I'm still waiting, Ness. Hurry it up, before I have to go over there and knock some sense into you myself.

Thanks, Soul!

Everyone's been complaining about their heads hurting and stuff. Do you think it's like, a cold or something?

[Locked to Soul]

[mrbaseballfan.livejournal.com]

I was recovering from the fight with Raziel... Looks like I'm me again.

Still hiding, though. This left me plenty to think about.

[Voice]

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

No problem.

Really? Maybe something is going around... A cold? Kinda hot for that kind of illness, don't you think?

[Voice] [Locked to Ness]

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

Heh. It looks like it's time for me to finally welcome you back too, Ness. It took you long enough, you dummy.

... [Sighs] Hiding, huh...? Is brooding over the mess you left behind going to remind people of how you were a hero?

I wouldn't think too hard, if I were you. There are still some people who are worried about you.

[omniconcert.livejournal.com]

You can get colds when it's hot! Like, this one time, it was summer, and I couldn't stop sneezing and stuff, and then my nose was all gross, and I couldn't breathe, and then I started coughing, and my throat hurt and my eyes were watery, and I was totally sick. But like, it was hot outside, you know?

[Voice]

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

... Are you sure that it was a cold and not just hay fever, Linda?

[omniconcert.livejournal.com]

Totally. 'Cause there was this one guy who was like, "Hey Linda, you've got a cold. Maybe you should stop singing for a few months?"

[Voice]

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

Well, whatever. Whether this is a cold or not, I just know that I'd feel better having it out of the way.

It's making it hard to deal with everything else that is happening around here as it is.

[omniconcert.livejournal.com]

Maybe you can like, put something cool on your head or whatever? I don't think we've got any ice here, but like, maybe you can like, find something, you know?

[prodigal-axe.livejournal.com]

Useless guy? What the hell are you talking about?

[onceahuman.livejournal.com]

I think you should be calling yourself useless, Soul.

Private to Soul

[adventlead.livejournal.com]

I would if I could.

But it looks like you won't have to, this time...

[Voice]

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

That's probably a good idea.

I guess the coldest thing that can be found around here is water... I'll have to see how much we have in stock in this apartment, or else I'll be taking a trip up to the lake soon.

So you think that I should try to take it easy for awhile?

[Voice]

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

You heard that part, huh?

It's Chrona.

This time, I wasn't the one to wake him up. He did it on his own, and ended up surprising all of us. Not only that, but Nill seems to be looking after him better than I ever could.

[Voice]

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

Worried? Man, you guys have good ears.

It's no big deal, Mona. I guess in my head I don't think it's very cool to be the one left standing around and keeping an eye on things. Especially when you can't count on your powers to help you through.

But, it all worked out in the end, right? Chrona woke up on his own, and ended up surprising all of us.

[Voice] [Private to Kadaj]

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

If you could...?

Did something happen?

[Voice] [Private to Soul]

[adventlead.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I really wanted to help him, too...

[onceahuman.livejournal.com]

Why wouldn't I be?

I think you're the coolest guy I've ever met, Soul. And I haven't even seen you as a weapon yet!

Is he feeling better?

[Voice] [Private to Kadaj]

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

Sorry that I can't share in your disappointment, Kadaj.

Did someone beat you to it? Is Walter free?

[Voice]

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

Hm. Thanks.

Heh. Is that right? Then I guess that I have a reputation to keep up. With or without my chip.

Probably. I haven't had the chance to check on him over at the clinic since I lost my shoes. Then some other things happened, and so I've been keeping busy in my own way.

[Voice] [Private to Soul]

[adventlead.livejournal.com]

I didn't expect you to.

I don't know...?

[omniconcert.livejournal.com]

It's like, the best idea ever!

Totally! 'Cause if you're sick, and you run around and stuff, you'll die. I've totally seen it happen.

[Voice]

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

You'll only die if you are stupid enough to run yourself ragged while you're sick, Linda.

But don't worry. I'll be careful, all right?

[Voice] [Private to Kadaj]

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

Then I guess we're both in the dark.

[omniconcert.livejournal.com]

Good! And like, if you need anything, ask me, and like, I'll totally try and find it for you, 'kay?
