[Ryuhou is back in the town square, though in considerably better shape than last time. He sits next to the fountain and looks at his hands, watching Alter light flicker over his fingers.]

Whatever they did, they seem to have fixed it. I don't know what the point of that was, other than to prove that they can control my Alter. Anyone else with... abilities, have the Malnosso ever affected them?

Wouldn't surprise me. [And some incoherent grumbling goes here] I guess this is the kinda shit we've got to look forward to here, huh?

It's the kind of thing I've been dealing with for two years, now.

....

I can't be stuck here for two fuckin' years, man--there's gotta be some way out. [Mutters more to himself than to Ryuhou] Maybe I can find out more on the other side of the barrier...

[Voice]

[rubyeyes-ryuhou.livejournal.com]

I can't believe I've been here that long myself, sometimes. It seems...

...wait, other side of the barrier? How are you getting through?

Whenever the Malawhosies send me out to help fight that damn war of theirs. If I can, I plan to spend more time scouting the place out than bailing their sorry asses out.

[He manages to sound impressed despite himself.] That's... not a bad plan at all. If we're sent out together, I'll do the same.

[Hey, he does have good ideas, on occasion. When the stars are aligned properly.] Yeah, well, we'll see if it's a good idea once we get out there. Might not find a damn thing, but I guess we won't be any worse off than we are right now, anyways.

[Voice]

[rubyeyes-ryuhou.livejournal.com]

Never say that. They can find a way to make us worse off.

[Voice]

[screw-the-rules.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well, maybe we can find a way to make it worse for them, too.

[Voice]

[rubyeyes-ryuhou.livejournal.com]

That definitely sounds like a good plan.

[Voice]

[screw-the-rules.livejournal.com]

Don't suppose you remember anything more than you did the last time they snatched you, do you?

[Voice]

[rubyeyes-ryuhou.livejournal.com]

Of course not. The rare times I've remembered what they've done, I wish I hadn't.

[Voice]

[screw-the-rules.livejournal.com]

Hey, never hurts to ask, y'know? It might give us some sorta edge against 'em...which is probably why nobody can ever remember nothing...
