[ when the feed comes into play, elliot's voice sounds faintly troubled. it's the voice of someone who hasn't had a proper night's sleep due to many thoughts plaguing his mind. the unusual tone of a teenage boy who has had enough. and the fact that something seems to be amiss in this world once again isn't helping. ]

There was a saying I heard here a while ago. I believe it went 'You can't trust anyone as far as you can throw them'. And now I see this phrase is taking more truth than I thought it ever would. Be it acquaintance, friend, or family. Sometimes you have to think twice about how you really feel about them. Before you can put your full trust in them.

Because if you do... If the situation comes up that you've made the wrong decision and the ugly truth is revealed about this person, you can regret it for the rest of your life.

[ he's a bit touchier than usual, try not to think too much on it. he can't help it right now. there is a pause in the feed before he cleared his throat and continued. ]

On another topic, it's sad to see how a power outage like this can cause such an uproar. That being said, stay safe and if you need help.. Well, people have said this before me. Call someone you know you can count on. 

[ trying not to contradict his precious statements, he'll give a sigh. ]

Sorry for using your time. If anyone else has thoughts about what's going on, I would like to know.

[ferventknight]

jack, please.

[psychopath]

what happened? normally you don't sound so sad.

[ferventknight]

i don't know where to begin. and i honestly don't know if i should.

[psychopath]

it's fine if you don't want to, but i can lend an ear, ok? maybe you should talk to gil.

voice.

[faking]

Elliot, if you worry about this stuff so much, you're going to get wrinkles.

voice.

[ferventknight]

Excuse me?

voice.

[faking]

Theeere, now you sound more like the Elliot I'm used to. I just wanted to make sure you still could.

Hey. Hey, Elliot.

voice.

[ferventknight]

You don't make any sense! [ he'll always be his way with you, alois. ]

...What? [ in a firm, almost annoyed tone. ]

voice.

[faking]

Really, though... Don't worry about things like that.

_{[There's a scratching at your door, Elliot. What will you do?]}

[Action]

[ferventknight]

[ ...this is the last thing he wants. but, he'll be opening it to see what it is. ]

[Action]

[cantshakethisfeeling]

Elliot!

_{[Kyubey's rubbing himself up against the boy's legs, clearly pleased to see him. Why didn't he just appear like he normally does?]}

I woke up and you were gone! I missed you, Elliot.

[Action]

[ferventknight]

What are you..?

[ yeah, this was.. strange. for lack of a better word. but he's staring straight down at kyubey before getting even. more confused. ]

...What do you want?

[voice]

[madeinoblivion]

I guess it comes down to... are you okay with knowing the truth, or would you rather stay lied-to?

You sound really grumpy. I just went out to see how everybody's taking it myself. It's pretty crazy. I guess people don't know what to do with themselves, without their powers.

The game at the stadium's been cancelled, obviously.

[voice]

[ferventknight]

[ he feels like he remembers this voice. but it isn't really coming to mind. anyway: ]

I don't know which I prefer. Right now, I think I just.. don't want to know anything about it. A time to process, I suppose. If that makes sense at all.

Well, being grumpy seems to be something I can't help today. And I can understand it being crazy. Some people probably feel that they lost a sense of security without their powers. I can't say I really blame them but going this far? [ a sigh. ]

I think the game is the least of our worries right now.

[voice]

[madeinoblivion]

No, it does make sense. I've needed time to think about things before. Harder to choose to make a promise, than have one made up for you.

If the Core can take away people's powers, and the lights and the water, I guess it really scares them. I'm pretty...angry too, actually! But I don't think it's the end of the world. Not unless keyblades are involved, and nobody's whipping those out, looks like.

The day Grant Stadium does Norm Sports is the day you really know it's over, hah!

voice;

[retraced]

Ah. Well...

The power is out...

[/INSERT THE SOUND OF CRICKETS CHIRPING]

voice;

[ferventknight]

[ in the most MATTER OF FACT TONE he could muster. ]

I haven't noticed.

voice;

[retraced]

[Does that mean he helped?!]

You should probably stay home if you can. There's people causing trouble out here already. [But he's on his way home, he only needed to stop by the bakery to make sure that it was secured first.]

Are you all right?

voice;

[ferventknight]

[ no gil shut up. ]

I don't really have a reason to go out at all today. And if I did, the news of everything going on sure canceled it.

[ he'll stop before answering that next question. truth be told, elliot didn't know how to respond to that. he wasn't all right but if he said 'no', then he'd have to explain himself. so he'll go with the most obvious response. ]

I'm fine.

text | [A DAY LATE!!!]

[forzare]

[ shut up he was busy getting the hell out of the apartments while riots were breaking out. it's not like he didn't want to respond!! ]

so are you not going to trust anyone ever again

text |

[ferventknight]

[ ...why is he getting a text a day late. uhm. ]

what?

text |

[forzare]

[ oh my god elliot don't you start judging ]

i cant figure out what you were trying to say
are you not going to trust anyone again or did you just want to be heard

[ferventknight]

[ oh this is about what he said yesterday. ]

both maybe. i'm not sure which yet.
