[chikaidestroyer]

[A weak groan, followed by ragged coughs. There's the scraping of shoes and clothing against gravel, followed by another ragged cough.]

I-- it can't... Still dark...

[ooc: He's baaaack.]

Albert!


...I'm coming for you.

Anything you can tell me about your surroundings?

[voiced]

[chikaidestroyer]

Nn... Sh... Sheena.

[voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

...Caesar... Wh--

[There's the sounds of hands raking aimlessly through the dirt and gravel.]

Where-- are you?

[voiced]

[goldenfirefly.livejournal.com]

A-Albert!

[voiced]

[corrinesbell]

Yeah.

Where are you? I'll come help you get back.

[voiced]

[chikaidestroyer]

I don't know.

I can't tell.

[voice]

[nowarstowin.livejournal.com]

At the -- at the house.

Can you see?

[There's sounds of movement. He might not have any idea where he's going, but he's on his way.]

[voiced]

[chikaidestroyer]

...So many...

Stella. It's Stella, right?

You are Caesar's brother. I am currently located in the forest; do you require assistance?

[voiced]

[corrinesbell]

Okay. Shut your eyes and listen for the river, then. I'll head out anyway, and you tell me what you hear.

[voiced]

[goldenfirefly.livejournal.com]

I... yes, that's right.

Are you... Can you see anything?

[voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

I can't. No-- I can't.

I can't see.

[Voice Post]

[chikaidestroyer]

I do. I need help.

I ... I think I'm in the forest. I'm not sure.

[voiced]

[chikaidestroyer]

...Everything's dark. It's not-- it can't be that dark, can it?

[voice]

[nowarstowin.livejournal.com]

Okay. Do you hear anything in particular? Anything that might be useful?

[voiced; 1/2]

[goldenfirefly.livejournal.com]

[She's silent and wide-eyed for a long moment...]

[voiced 2/2]

[goldenfirefly.livejournal.com]

...Then are there any noises that you can pick out?

[voiced]

[chikaidestroyer]

I--

I can't hear the water. I'm not near it. I feel ... rocks. Plants. Grass.

[Voice Post]

[bene-elohim.livejournal.com]

Don't move, even if you are able. Can you hear water, or anything that may identify your position?

[voiced]

[corrinesbell]

Okay. [there's a background of outside noises now]

Do you hear anything else?

[voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

...Owls. Crickets.

It's not helpful. Damn it.

[voiced 2/2]

[chikaidestroyer]

Just the animals... Crickets. Birds. I can't hear the water.

[Voice Post]

[chikaidestroyer]

I can't go anywhere.

...No, there's no water. I feel a tree. Grass and rock under me. Crickets. Owls.

[voiced]

[chikaidestroyer]

Crickets chirping. It's so quiet. There's nothing else. I'm sorry.
