[Voice/Action at the beginning] ♫ - First Hymn - Nightmare - ♫ (Joint w/Luke fon Fabre)

I love you...

[It was two years after Eldrant fell. Two years since she'd whispered those words before he'd disappeared. Two years without the Score. It had been scary, but freeing as well. However, he said he would show. Luke always kept his word. It was his naming day, after all. The day where he would be considered an adult by the world at large.

The request to sing the Grand Fonic Hymn felt natural, right. She was happy to sing it again, in a happier situation than the last time. However, she made her way through all seven verses and let the sound of it drift away on the breeze.

The sound of her companions leaving resounded in her ears, feeling like the lid to a coffin being slammed shut. But she had to hope that he would come back to her. The longer she waited, the more her heart felt like the brittlest of glass. And finally she knew that waiting wasn't going to get her anywhere. The moment she turned around, however, she heard a sound that couldn't be anything but him.

And then she was in the middle of a brightly lit plaza, in a town that reminded her so much of Chesedonia that she had to pinch herself to make sure she wasn't dreaming. People in strange clothing passed her by, looking at her with unreadable expressions on their foreign faces.

Tear wasn't normally scared, but a slow sense of uneasiness was crawling down her spine. She reached, instinctively, for the rod that she normally kept with her and noticed a book in her pocket as well. She took it out, starring at the odd thing before reading it quickly and digesting the facts as the sprung up at her.

That was until she spotted a familiar shade of red hair. Tears sprung to her eyes and her hands shook as she ran towards where she knew he'd be. The book was forgotten in favor of something much more important, more precious to her than it would ever be. She didn't even notice when it fell from her hands and landed open, face up.]


Luke? What are you doing there?


[["You have done admirably."

The words…brought a smile to Luke's face, as he glances down at Asch. He thinks to himself, "No… we did admirably. All of us. We all fought for what we believed in…We all succeeded. Everything will be okay, now."

Lorelei swirled around the two; Luke could feel the power of the being all around him. It was almost overwhelming, but Luke could feel happiness in his heart. He understood what was happening--the world was being restored. He closed his eyes, a calm expression on his face as he did so.

Then, everything went black.

"--ave to come home!"

Her voice resounded in his mind, merging with the darkness all around him. It wasn’t scary, in spite of the feeling of the unknown creeping all around him. Once again, her voice could be heard…

Huh?]
Tear…?

[His eyes snapped opened. What was he doing on the ground…? Wait…

What…was going on? The last he remembered, he was… But, then…he was…?

Luke blinked, face pressed against the cold hard ground. Slowly, he lifted himself into a standing position, eyes immediately searching for the source of that familiar voice—a voice that was working kind of like a beacon of hope amongst all the confusion he was suddenly being swarmed with. Green eyes landed on her and he simply forced himself to just…focus on her, for the moment. They’ll figure it out, together…like they always did.]


Uh…Do you…know where we are?
[His voice wasn’t hiding his confusion. After all, he didn’t have a problem letting Tear in on his being completely and utterly lost.]

[OOC: Tear and Luke are currently together, so all replies will probably be from them both. Enjoy that!]

[Asch had been taking a shortcut through the square, his arms occupied with mundane supplies-- groceries, mainly, with some rope shoved into the top. Because you never had too much rope. He stops at the edge of the square, feeling Luke and their resonance before actually seeing him.

He... was here?

Asch glances over his shoulder and sees Luke then, apparently as confused as his companion-- Tear. Just peachy. He's tempted to keep walking, to turn his back on his replica and disappear into obscurity and never return.

But... that's not the way Asch does things. Just looking at Luke reminds him of everything that was at stake. He has to know. Before he can go on some stupid journey, before he can try to go home-- he has to know.]


You.

[His voice cuts the distance between him and the other redhead. Why bother using the link when they're so close, anyway? He ditches the bag of groceries, leaving it on a bench as he makes his way toward Luke. The crowd parts hastily, and it's a good thing, too-- Asch is armed and cranky and he pushes people who don't move fast enough.]

Did you finish it? Did you free Lorelei and kill Van? Answer me!

cuuuute

[He barely has a chance to even blink before...] Tear...?

[The sudden embrace was met with his own arms slowly lifting. His confusion was blended with a feeling of warmth. In spite of a million question threatening to erupt, he...definitely enjoyed feeling her arms around him.

He held a blink for a moment longer than necessary. Questions could wait.

[Painful, indeed. Luke can only...stare, at first. The last time he saw that face, it was pale. Lifeless. Peaceful, even (pretty much the exact opposite of how it looks now). He wonders how Natalia would react to seeing him...completely fine. His silence lingers on as he attempts to piece together a response.

Fortunately, Tear answers for him.

Luke's expression tenses for a moment and he nods in agreement with her response. His throat is suddenly...a little dry, but he force out something. Anything.
]

Yeah... [That works.]

[When Luke gives his confirmation, it's not quite the answer Asch is expecting. Maybe more excuses, or maybe yelling back, but... the fight is gone. Asch realizes belatedly that the fight's left him, too. The world's okay. Everything's... okay.

He lets out a little breath he didn't realize he was holding, and then he closes his eyes.]


Then it's done. [He's not even going to thank them, he just--] It's over.

That was so touching!

I don't really know what happened but I can just feel the love radiating off of this moment!

[She was...crying. His brow tensed in confusion at that. All he could think to do was maybe...tighten his arms around her a little? In his mind, it had only been a short time since they saw each other. So, when he heard her words--]

...But, we were all just on Eldrant, together, -- [Pause.] --right?

[voice]

[personal profile] headfons 2014-02-13 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
[He's hearing the voice as well, his eyes scanning the area right along with hers.]

...Huh?

[personal profile] headfons 2014-02-13 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
...Yeah.

[Defeating him had been hard, but...

--but, then came the time to put his mind to saying goodbye to all of his friends. Feeling their unwavering strength had helped. They'd remained strong with him. As well as for him.

Their days of battling together had come to an end, yet they all managed to give words of encouragement until the very end. He couldn't have asked for better friends.

He couldn't possibly know how things had been for them after that.
]

yay now he's gonna be even more confused. 8D

[personal profile] headfons 2014-02-13 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
..........

[Once the hug broke he was blinking at her. ...Wait.

...What?
]

What do you mean, two years...? I literally just freed Lorelei, though...! So, how...?
abundantlove: (I don't get it)

[personal profile] abundantlove 2014-02-13 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
Huh? You can't hear this? It's coming from your journal, silly!

[voice]

[personal profile] headfons 2014-02-13 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Luke returns her gaze, before his own lands on the fallen book.

Okay, seriously?
]

Uhh...

[He approaches the book and kneels down next to it.]

How are you...talking to us through a book?
abundantlove: (:D)

[personal profile] abundantlove 2014-02-13 06:48 am (UTC)(link)
I'm Aida Mana! All the journals can do this! It's sort of how everyone here communicates!
jadethenecromancer: (you silly children)

[Voice]

[personal profile] jadethenecromancer 2014-02-13 07:01 am (UTC)(link)
...My, my.

[Jade has been keeping an eye on his journal since Asch showed up, and sure enough, familiar voices continued to pop up.]

It seems I've missed a great deal. When is the wedding?
sacredashes: (✝ you keep looking for reasons)

[personal profile] sacredashes 2014-02-13 07:01 am (UTC)(link)
That's not surprising. You saw for yourselves what the world was like after the Outer Lands were lowered. People will cling to the Score for as long as they can.

[It's nothing he couldn't figure out on his own. He pauses, glancing at Tear and Luke once more, and then he turns to leave.]

As long as he gets to design the t-shirts.

[personal profile] headfons 2014-02-13 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
[There was a nice pause after her words. He looked like he was attempting very hard to piece together a complicated puzzle.]

How's that even possible? Does that mean I just...blacked out for two years?
