forged_anew[The camera flickers on with a violent crash and the dreamberry falls to the ground to the sounds of static and yelling and other violent thuds, perhaps of something being thrown--]
It's not fair!
[Fire, just a flicker of it on the edge of the screen that is now showing mostly the (rebuilt) apartment ceiling. Nothing burning, at least, just a demonstration of extreme frustration-- and that's putting it lightly.]
You can't do this! You hear me?! Whoever the hell's in charge of this stupid place- [Zuko curses, then suddenly gives up and slides down to sit against the wall beside the device he's clearly forgotten about, knees up, face in his palms, talking to himself.]
I waited... I waited for months, and all I got was a few damn weeks and half the time she didn't even believe most of the things I said. It was all so...
Pointless.
Would've been better not to bring her here at all...
It's not fair!

Date: 2011-07-10 06:37 am (UTC)Dammit. Zuko snatches up the dreamberry, glaring at it and quickly switching the video function to voice.]
I'm not shouting at you.
[Just at the world in general.]

Date: 2011-07-10 06:58 am (UTC)Figures. Damn thing tends to do that. [and smoke.] Still don't need to get into some damn hissyfit just 'cause your friend left.
no subject
Date: 2011-07-10 07:15 am (UTC)And what do you know about it?
no subject
Date: 2011-07-10 10:38 pm (UTC)[just grunts.] Ever had a friend of yours appear and disappear five times in half a year? At this point I should start takin' bets how long some of these people last before they leave and come back again.

Date: 2011-07-12 04:59 am (UTC)If I thought you were a liar, I'd tell you it. Just sayin' these Dreamberries have a nasty habit of catchin' people when they least expect it, so watch it.

Date: 2011-07-12 05:11 am (UTC)Zuko scoffs, resentfully.]
no subject
Date: 2011-07-12 06:01 am (UTC)Well I got some machines to check on.
Just be glad your friend's back home and not stuck in this *&$#hole anymore.

Date: 2011-07-12 10:51 pm (UTC)Good idea.
[and with that, Cid beats Zuko to the punch and disconnects the line.]
[Voice]
Date: 2011-07-11 06:24 am (UTC)Someone you know went home, didn't they?
[Voice]
Date: 2011-07-12 02:23 am (UTC)[Voice]
Date: 2011-07-12 09:23 pm (UTC)I'm sorry about your girlfriend. It sounds like things were tough for you guys even when she was here.
[Voice]
Date: 2011-07-12 10:05 pm (UTC)Yeah...
Thing is, it would have worked out, I know that... if we'd had more time. [and that is the most frustrating, upsetting part of all because she'd just been brought here from the wrong time.]

Date: 2011-07-12 11:18 pm (UTC)[...]
Hey, do you know if it's true that, when you go home again from here, nothing's changed? I mean... no time passes. That's what people keep telling me but...
[Voice]
Date: 2011-07-13 09:51 pm (UTC)I heard that when we leave we're still "there" somehow. I don't know if the "uses" in our place are clones or some magic trick, but I still don't like it.

Date: 2011-07-15 09:16 pm (UTC)[He can't afford to have disappeared for several months. His world can't afford for him to have disappeared. Not that he doesn't trust his friends but... He can't stand the thought of having abandoned everything they'd worked so hard for]
[Voice]
Date: 2011-07-17 05:04 am (UTC)And we will. Somehow.
[Voice]
Date: 2011-07-18 03:25 am (UTC)I need to get back. Now.
[Voice]
Date: 2011-07-19 11:28 pm (UTC)[Voice]
Date: 2011-07-19 11:31 pm (UTC)But I can't afford to have some copy screwing things up. Enough people have died.
[Voice]
Date: 2011-07-20 12:42 am (UTC)Died over what?
[Voice]
Date: 2011-07-20 01:26 am (UTC)[Voice]
Date: 2011-07-28 10:54 pm (UTC)...Sorry.
All the more reason we need to figure out how to get out of here on our own. We can't rely on this place to kick us out whenever it gets bored of us.
[Voice]
Date: 2011-07-31 03:05 am (UTC)I've tried but no one seems to know anything.
If you find anything out though, you'll let me know?
[Voice]
Date: 2011-08-03 12:20 am (UTC)I'm Seiji Yagiri, and sure. We've got better things to be doing than sticking around here.

I don't know.

Date: 2011-07-12 09:18 pm (UTC)[ A tiny gasp. ] Or if they comes back, we can throw a little party!
no subject
Date: 2011-07-12 10:06 pm (UTC)[And she'll be waiting... but only if this place isn't lying, if he goes back to his life without time having passed...
Because he's really not sure if Mai would be able to forgive him for leaving here again]

no subject
Date: 2011-07-18 05:30 am (UTC)I think she likes knives. [he can't be sure.] Sometimes she likes ice cream. But not always. It's... hard to explain.
