[Voice] Say Goodbye, Sonico

[sonicosuper]

 *There is a soft intake of breath before Sonico begins. Her thoughts are muddled and there's an edge to her voice - this is clearly not a rehearsed message, but the comments of a woman very recently hit with some bad news*

I just... I wish. I just wish there was some way, some how, just some small something.. that would mean that people could say goodbye. Disappearing. Vanishing into thin air. It just... I'm sorry, but it isn't fair.

*There's a pause, then a breath, but clearly she decides not to say anything further, and clicks off the feed*

...Miss? Has someone gone missing? Is that what's wrong?

[k2so]

Sonico? What happened? Who left?

[Voice]

[sonicosuper]

Missing? I suppose... But it's more that they're officially gone from here. Gone, more than missing.

[sonicosuper]

Athrun.

I don't know if you knew him. He was a good friend.

[Voice]

[forgottheoffbutton]

Can people just disappear like that? I suppose we appear here as suddenly so...that makes sense. May I ask who disappeared?

[k2so]

No, we never talked. But he was important to you, so I'm sorry he's gone.

[sonicosuper]

*A small sigh*

I am too. But that..just seems to be the way of this world, and there is nothing I can do about it...

[Voice]

[sonicosuper]

It does make sense. That's the sad thing in it.

A friend named Athrun.

[Voice]

[forgottheoffbutton]

I'm sorry your friend is gone. [He pauses. What is he supposed to say now?] ...Do you have other friends here or was Athrun you're only friend?

[armofgod]

Gotta say; that yes that has to be bad news, but wouldn't you want people to not miss you and carry on If you were gone?

[sonicosuper]

Of course I would want people to carry on but... But I would also never want to leave without a goodbye. I wouldn't want to hurt my friends in any way...

[orlokbutterfly]

[That's a feeling Gale's familiar with. He can't help but feel for her there.]

Anything I can do for ya, doll? A drink or somethin', maybe? Someone to talk to?

voice;

[sonicosuper]

*That's too nice - someone reaching out to her, offering straight away to help and not questioning her feelings. Her voice is very quiet*

Yes, please. Thank you.

[Voice]

[sonicosuper]

Thank you.

No... I have other friends. I am grateful they are still here.

[orlokbutterfly]

Would you want to come out to Hangar Queen or After Life, or would you rather I come to you?

[He's more than willing to pack up some drinks for her if she'd want.]

voice;

[sonicosuper]

I - well...

*Right then, Sonico doesn't even really know*

It's maybe a good idea for me to leave the house...

[armofgod]

Life's short, and sometimes we don't get to say everything we want.

The important thing is remember the good parts and keep going.

[sonicosuper]

*Sonico puffs a sigh, more at herself than anything else - she feels like a bit of an ass now*

I'm sorry. You're right. It just gets a little harder every time another friend disappears...

Sonico got a call back less than ten seconds after the feed clicked off. The number was familiar. Though, when she answered, Sakuya didn't speak right away. There were sounds, certainly. Something rhythmic The ticking of a clock? A clock tower? And the sound of the maid's breath.

"... Xander is gone."

[tevinteraltus]

[His tone is gentle when he responds, with a bit of sympathy.]

I would ask if everything was alright, but I believe that would leave me answering my own question.

[A brief pause.]

Whether the loss is sudden or expected make it no less easy to bare. Are you alright, Sonico?

[Voice]

[forgottheoffbutton]

Then that's good. How many friends do you have? I don't have any myself. So even having one friend is nice.

[armofgod]

Don't be sorry; It's not productive.

Having tossed that out there; what do you do, where do you go? It's not a good time to be idle for you right now.

Voice; Private

[unbridledtiger]

Sonico.

[Seth's voice is soft but tense around the edges as if it's been pulled taught.]

You don't sound okay. Where are you?

[He's already walking.]

[om_nom_namur]

Sure would be nice, eh? Or like, a warning or some shit. Like hey, yer goin' in like a week, better get yer shit t'gether or somethin'.

But that's the way a it. Like death, we don't getta know 'fore it happens that it's comin'. 'S why y' gotta live every day a hunnerd percent, catch me?

Want me t' come getcha? Take y' somewhere, or jus' be there with y'. Lemme know, a'ight?

You realize that means he went home, right? As in, managed to get himself un-kidnapped? I thought that would be something worth celebrating, not moping over.
