002 || Audio || Action for Freya or Thor

[lackstact]

[It's been a while since Raimei has willingly used the network. She still remembers the first time she made a post over being kidnapped and demanding to be taken back home. Now, it felt like all that happened a very long time ago.

Unlike her first network post, which was full of energy and anger; today's post will sound somber even for her. She's always been the energetic type by nature.]

I don't know how many of you knew my older brother, Raikou Shimizu. He was owner of Artfully Zen and....well, I'm not really sure what else he did around here other than building up his business. [A small pause as she begins to realize the little she knew about him.] He was part of Heimdall. I'm sure he had a roommate or something. I just wanted to let everyone know he...might not be here. I'm still not sure if he's completely gone or not...

[No, it had nothing to do with not trusting Gau's word. More like she did not accept it fully yet.]

Oh, umm...how does one know when a person is totally gone? Are there some sort of signs? Like...I haven't found any information regarding this matter over the network, so yeah...I can't help want to know.

[She grows quiet again. It isn't long until she begins to feel irritated by herself. Her voice begins to change from somber to annoyance.]

Anyway, I just wanted to know that! That and if anyone is interested in sparring with me today! I only fight with katanas, so anyone with a similiar weapon will be welcomed. I'm in Freya just to let you know, but I'll be heading over to Thor's gym if anyone wants to meet me there!

[And that ends the transmission altogether.]

Well, whoever that is, I wish them well. We should all be so lucky.

[Oh, he definitely perks up at that last bit.]

Oh ho? A fellow practitioner of the sword? I wouldn't mind a bit of a workout.

Yeah, I guess so. Home is a complicated place right now, but he'll be okay. I'm sure it needed him more than the Gods in this place ever did...

[If this was Raimei a month earlier, then she would fully agree with him, but now she wasn't so sure. She and her older brother aren't like other siblings, so their relationship is a complicated one. Asgard was the only place where she got to not only becomes allies, but actually got the chance to look up to him as her true older brother figure, her only family. Now the chance was gone, it felt...lonely again. It was hard to believe that in a way she was actually being spoiled by him.

At the mention of the other man wanting to fight, her eyes will observe the other as if to make sure he was a tough enough fighter, but it was hard to really tell from the small holo-image. Her exterior will change to one full of confidence and a bit of smug.]

If you're looking for a workout, then you've come to the right place! It's been a while since I last fought an actual opponent because not many people get lucky enough to have their weapons with them after arriving here. What kind of sword do you use?

[He holds up a simple shikomizue.]

Only the one in my hand, and the fire in my heart.

Re: Video

[lackstact]

Heh. Good answer, and that's a pretty good sword you have there. What house are you currently in? I don't think I've seen you around the networks before. My name is Raimei, Raimei Shimizu by the way.

Recent arrival, it seems. I've been put in Thor's care, though I dislike serving males in any respect.

Johnny, Captain of the Jellyfish Air Pirate fleet.

[takebow]

[Oh, um, girl that thought she wanted to kiss her.

She should probably just stay away because awkward, but it's also a matter she's potentially concerned about.]

...Is his name still on the list on the bracelet?

voice;

[lackstact]

[Oh, it's that weird girl who almost offered to kiss train with! But unlike the other, Raimei does not feel any awkwardness towards due to believeing their previous conversation was pleasant even with the misunderstanding in the way.]

Ummm, I'm not sure. I haven't checked yet. [She'll sorta stare at her bracelet for a moment before adding:] Why? Is that the only way to know if the person is completely gone from this world?

voice;

[takebow]

Well... I thought so, or I think so, anyway.

voice;

[lackstact]

I'll take your word for it. After all, you've never steered me wrong before...unlike the gods of this world.

[Bitter much? Yeah, she's feeling bitter right now.]

Anyway, it's been a while since we last talked. How have you been since the fairy attack? You and your friend are doing okay?

voice;

[takebow]

Oh, um... Yeah, I've been okay. Just keepin' a low profile, basically. What about you?

video;

[deadcenter]

Hah-.... can't say I know anything about when someone disappears, guess the gods just got fed up with 'em and sent them back to wherever they came from.

...And I'm already at the gym- buahaha! I got some weapons from those two blonde kids that started up a business, so a katana will be interesting to fight against.

video;

[lackstact]

[Ouch. Just ouch! That comment sorta hurt! Especially when Raimei believes her brother was taken away as a punishment towards her. It was easy to tell she was guilt ridden.]

If that's the case, then the gods here are stupid to have done so! Raikou was actually following their stupid orders! He even dressed up to their stupid ball! What's the deal! Why sent home an obedient warrior while keep a disobedient one here instead? Idiots!

[At the mention of the gym.]

Heh. So you finally bought yourself a good set of weapons, huh? [Smirk.] I'll be there in half an hour! You better be pumped up once I get there because I am in the mood for an all out brawl! I will not accept anything less.

video;

[deadcenter]

[Hah- he doesn't really care about this Raikou or whatever, he's just concerned about fighting. So when she says she'll be over soon his smile grows.]

Keh-! Kiyomasa Senji is always pumped up for a fight! You had better be promising kid or else I'll be ticked! Let's see what you got!

I'm waitin' for ya!

video;

[lackstact]

[She can tell and totally respects his thirst for fighting!]

Oh, you're on! I'll make it my sole mission to turn you black and blue! Don't say I didn't warn you.

[And with that she will turn off the feed to run off to Thor. Should take her a couple of moments for her to arrive. Be on a look out for a pig-tail samurai.]

[ooc: Also. Do you prefer action or a log for their spare?]

video;

[deadcenter]

[he chuckles at that, and now he's just waiting at the arena.]

[ooc: action is fine!]

[video]

[dragonspeak]

[Hey, he remembers her. Looks like she's settled into Asgard pretty nicely, at least.]

Have you checked the list in the bracelet?

[video]

[lackstact]

[You can say she has, but she has a long ways to go for her to get remotely comfortable without her mind drifting off to her home every once in a while.]

No. Not yet. I've been busy searching for him and other things. [She tries to sound more friendly than guarded, but comes off as worried and stressed out. Then again, that is her true feelings right now.] ...is checking on the list the only way to be completely certain over things like these?

[Video]

[dragonspeak]

'fraid so. If you can't find them with the bracelet or anywhere in the city, then the list's the last thing to check.

[He gives her a sympathetic look.] It's how I was looking for my friends when I got here, too.

[Video]

[lackstact]

...a list, huh? I should've guessed, but... [She's scared to check, truth be told. A very forced laugh will escape her lips at the thought.] ...I never thought of it. Then again, maybe I was expecting extraordinary signs or something. Like being abducted by aliens? With a light show and everything. After all, the gods did give us one heck of a welcome and all.

[A weak smile will find a way to her lips.] Thanks again. It's still good to know. [Umm...] None of your friends have...you know, dissapear, right?

[video]

[dragonspeak]

[Merlin just listens to her, kind of understanding what she means by expecting...more. His own friend had slipped away so quietly, Merlin hadn't noticed he was gone until nearly half a day had gone by.]

One did...about a week ago.

video; late forever I'm so sorry

[darkbreak]

[Sheesh, yet another one that's missing someone now. This is getting to be a big problem.]

Usually their name will be taken off the contact list, and if you just can't find them.

[It's not super helpful, but it's better than what he's been through, spending day and night looking for Sora and Kairi.]

Sorry to hear that he's gone, Raimei.

video; it's okay. <33

[lackstact]

[Oh, it's that guy with the powerful friend from the Valentine's Day ball. Funny how distant the memory feels to her right now. But even so, she'll try to seem less hollow.]

...yeah, I'll definitely check it out. Thanks, Riku.

[Welp. She totally failed on being less hollow, huh? Time to fix that! Forced smiles are a go!]

Ummm, it's been a while since I last saw you! You look...the same as ever. Are you and your friends okay? Those ice fairies didn't do much damage, right?

video;

[darkbreak]

[Forced smiles are usually something Riku picks up and something he can see right through. But for now, he'll just keep quiet. Best not to exploit it now though.]

Nah, they were just annoying if anything. It's good to know that no one was seriously hurt by them though.

You look good too. What have you been up to?

[Small talk. Small talk. He can do this.]

video; 1/2

[lackstact]

[Ohohoho! Riku is actually pretty strong if he was able to say they were more annoying than difficult to fight. That comment will add another respect point in her book.]

Tell me about it! Those things were way too easy to counter. I had to admit I was excited over getting the chance to actually fight, but was sorely disappointed by their three measely, little attacks. It was totaly pathetic! [Pause. Well, she is sorta glad they weren't too difficult.] But, it's good to see you and everyone else are still in one piece. I think we all had a harder time with the dragon than those ice fairy things. If you can even call them that. They looked more like crystal midgets with wings and lame ice powers.

video; 2/2

[lackstact]

[At the mention of looking good will sorta fluster her a bit. Only a tiny bit, though. But his question does interrupt her thinking process, she'll be looking back on it. What has she been doing lately?]

Ummm, well...the usual, I guess. Training, eating, checking the networks from time to time. Surviving, really. Plus, visiting friends from home. Gotta keep tabs on them too. Especially now, with Raikou being gone and all. [In other words, boring life is boring!] How about you? Done anything interesting lately?
