Action/Video
[Action]
[Edward flailed in his pod for a bit before calming down, and taking stock of his surroundings. He wasn't dead? That's great news! But where's Lydia? He looked around the Bay trying to spot his sister. And seeing no sign of her, for a moment, he felt alone for the first time in a long time.]
[He looked through everything he had -money, how quaint- before wandering off. He didn't bother listening to the hologram, more focused on the device in his hand than anything or anyone else around him.]
So this thing's like a stone of far speech then?

Live from -What's this place again- Genessia! It's me, Edward! Quick question before we begin: Has anyone seen my cohost and sister, Lydia? It's so hard to put on a good show without her.

But there's a shot of her just grinning as she's walking away from what is clearly a broken wall, someone... evidently broke out of jail the moment she found out he was here. Goddammit, Lydia.]
Edward~ Look at your map, find a city called Everglade, and meet me by the clearly marked woods. Promise it'll be worth your while~
Re: [Video]
Map?
[Oh look there was a map. He looked at it for a moment.]
Found it~ I'm on my way.
[It took him a bit to actually get to said woods though, but here he was.]
[Action]
The moment he's getting there, she's hopping down from a tree branch and just grabbing and hugging him for a brief moment. Oops, what the actual hell is she up to right now.]
I was wondering how long it'd take you to end up here, there was just no way I'd stay here by myself for too long, right?~ [S t o p.
But she is turning and motioning for him to follow her into these dark ridiculous woods.]
I managed to find a little abandoned place and spruced it up a bit in here. I do have a few guards around it just in case, I think one of my darlings should be easy enough to spot. [Given it's a gigantic fucking Aurorus? Yeah, probably.]
Re: [Action]
I heard you've been in a bit of trouble recently~ What have you been getting up to without me?
[Without him. A small bit of guilt that was quickly washed away by-]
What the fuck is that?
no subject
Right, the aurorus. Who is just kind of eying Edward before lowering his head down to Lydia who is just happily petting his snout with a small grin. ... It's also a hell of a lot colder than before, oops.]
I believe they called him a pokemon, Aurorus or something. I call him Keats, he's a big gentle sweetheart. There's two others around here, but they're much smaller and better at hiding~
no subject
People sometimes, I swear.
Keats...[He shivered, but slowly reached over to try and pet the pokemon as well.] A gentle sweetheart, huh? That name suits him.
no subject
Which Lydia kind of forgot was a thing.]
... Ah.
no subject
Lydia.
[That was kind of a judgy tone.]
I know imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but seriously who is that?
no subject
I'm sure you can guess his name, though he can drop the act. [That's a good keyword given that clone is now a black and red fluffy fox looking thing instead.]
I think someone said his breed was a zoroark or some such, very, very smart creatures. Illusions seem to be their thing as well, meaning he's been very useful for me~
no subject
[If Lydia were anyone else, he'd actually be insulted and pissy, but she was Lydia. So he just sighed.]
You can't have thought he would've been a very good replacement for me, could you?
