❖ 009 // [Voice | Action]

[crisisrain]

[Somewhere not too far from the lake south of the town, Raven is struggling to keep his balance. He collapses against the trunk of a tree gasping for air in the freezing weather. In front of him, just out of reach of his foot, is his journal.] Swear I left this thing on the table... [His voice is barely heard as he slides down the trunk a little further, eventually his foot is it's just in range for him to kick book over.]

Hey guys... anyone... This old man could do with a little help, it kinda hurts. I don't know where I am, it's got some trees... snow... I think... [He moves slightly to get a better look at where he is.] Yeah lots of trees. I think that might be a lake over there somewhere, I don't know it's really, really cold and I'm... gettin' awful sleepy.

[There's a long moment of silence as Raven just sits in the snow back against the tree trunk once again, flicking through the journals pages as he tries to stop himself drifting into unconsciousness. He eventually mutters something just barely audible before throwing the open journal down next to him.]

I thought people weren't supposed ta remember these things.

...near a lake you think? [You have about two seconds now to convince him that you were joking or something before he runs out looking for you.]

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

[You'll be out wandering for a while there Vash, Lex!Mun wants to have some one on one with Raven so I can't have thread hoppers for now.]

How many lakes are there?

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

[Ah! Should have said at first - plan on sending him to the wrong lake or something. No plans to threadhop!] Two I think.

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

[Baww poor Vash!]

Really? I guess I'm at one of them then. Can't say which one though I don't even know if that is a lake... or a river. I can just see some water.

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

Alright; I'm coming to find you old man.

...you will let me know if you get home before I find you won't you?

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

Maybe.

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

If I freeze to death out there I'm coming back and I'll haunt you forever.

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

Ya won't need to haunt me, yer livin' proof of the death penalty!

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

[Winces] Yeah; I'd like to avoid that from now on if I can.

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

So, keep me awake here before I faint and tell me what it was like.

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

[You'll hear a door open and shut in the background and then the sounds of him hurrying down a few flights of stairs.] Not much to tell really.

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

Don't trip down those stairs and die.

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

I won't...

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

What was that noise?! Oh. No, no, it's just this old man hearin' things. Here I thought you went an' hurt yerself.

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

I can handle some sta-GAH! [Trips.]

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

Uh... Vash? You alright there?

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

Fine! Just fine! [Slightly crazed and embarrased laughter. Dodododo... going outside now.]

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

I... I didn't seriously mean ta jinx ya buddy.

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

You didn't! [Fall? Who fell? HE DID NOT FALL!]

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

Yer a terrible liar. I've been a bad influence on you.

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

Naw, I've always sucked at lying.

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

Ya really do, you could've easily covered yer tripping up by simply sayin' you dropped yer journal.

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

...that's exactly what I did!

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

No you're right, ya really do suck at lying.

[goldenglasses]

[Whatever keeps you awake!] No really! I didn't think you'd believe that! [Heading off to the wrong lake. Walk. Walk.]
