[There's an old fart standing on the roof of house #12. How he got up there, or rather, when he got up there is a complete mystery he respawned there. In his hands he flips through the pages of the journal, looking for anything remotely interesting that he may have missed. After a while he speaks up.]

It's kinda windy today, don't ya think?

[He lied, though he keeps his hands up near Judith's shoulders as he hugs her back.]

I'm sorry I worried everyone. I won't keep it secret again, I hate seein' you guys sad.

[Good boy, Raven. Now she won't have to hit you. Though she's tempted anyway- you really put them through the wringer.]

...You make it sound like it'll happen again.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

[You'll have to join the long line of people wanting to hit Raven right now. It's on about 7.]

I can't promise that it won't. I need ta get it checked out and there's only one person who knows it like the back of his hand.

Though yer welcome ta take a look yourself Judy darlin', ya know more about Blastia than I do.

[Action]

[Well, you know Judy. She hates just waiting around. She does pull back a bit, crossing an arm over her chest and touching her chin with her free hand, thinking a moment.] I'd hardly say that. All I ever really did with blastia is destroy them, and that won't help you.

[He lets go of her. Not wanting her to feel awkward.]

I've hardly got much of a choice then. I never thought I'd miss our genius mage as much as I do right now.

[Action]

[sultrytempest.livejournal.com]

[Well, crap. When it's a life or death situation like this, she can't just let it go.]

...Do you have any idea how long you might have?

[Action]

[crisisrain]

No idea. It doesn't hurt right now, nothing more than it usually does. Last week I was in complete agony. It's weird but I don't think it's in a bad state, I just wanna be certain of that.

[She closes her eyes, turning away. She spent years with her father, spoke with him, learned from him... maybe there's some memory, somewhere, that could help him.

It was worth thinking about, at least.]

...Tell me if anything changes.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

I promise I will Judith. Ya'll have a hard time gettin' rid of me so quickly again.

[He feels terrible about hiding it from her, from everyone. But he was praying he could get it fixed without anyone knowing. That backfired badly.]

[You should know better, Raven. Brave Vesperia has the worst luck in the world. (It's Yuri's involvement.)]

Oh, don't worry. We plan to keep you around for a long time.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

[Being unlucky is part of our wonderful charm!]

I'm not gonna be goin' anywhere of my own will. Life belongin' to Vesperia and all that. Besides, I like you guys, that's why I moved in here ta be with ya!

[Action]

[sultrytempest.livejournal.com]

Oh, and I thought you were just here for the food.

[This is better. Less angst, more playing.]

[Action]

[crisisrain]

[It's as sure as hell the way he prefers things to be.]

Oh the food is a great bonus, but I'm more interested in the garden. Ya don't get one of those in a community building!

[Action]

[sultrytempest.livejournal.com]

I never pegged you for a gardener.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

I happen to like fire lilles. Though haven't had much luck findin' any of them to plant.

[Action]

[sultrytempest.livejournal.com]

[Fire lilies, huh. Interesting.] I'll keep an eye out for them, then. This would be a good time to plant them.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

Yeah the summer should be coming up soon! Finally I won't be freezin' to death and the women will start wearin' more revealing clothes~

[Action]

[sultrytempest.livejournal.com]

I'll be sure to remember that the next time I go swimming.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

I think I might die from excitement seein' ya in a bikini~

[Action]

[sultrytempest.livejournal.com]

Surely you've seen me in revealing clothes plenty of times before.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

Just thinkin' about that is gettin' me excited. Yer such a tease Judy.

[Action]

[sultrytempest.livejournal.com]

Hmm... maybe next time I visit the lake I'll wear a full bodysuit. I'm sure it would be quite comfortable. [And unrevealing in case there are perverts lurking.]

[Action]

[crisisrain]

Even in a full body suit yer voluptuous figure would shine through.

[Action]

[sultrytempest.livejournal.com]

What about a parka?

[Action]

[crisisrain]

I got a much better idea! Nothing at all!
