✪ Alone. Silence. Loss. ✪ [Video ->Text]

[The Video shakes on, with black and green showing. Once the video stops, the focus becomes more clear, showing a body upon a green lit floor, where a familiar pattern is displayed, glowing. The body doesn't move. It's Cube and all around him are various strange looking items, including on that looks much like hula-hoop... another some gloves... and others, not really much like anything you may have seen before.

The video sits still, focused on Cube for a moment, before a hand comes into view and grabs the screen. Then it switches over to Text.]

Hey.
He isn't moving. I'm positive he's not dead but he is definitely not moving.

Poking doesn't do anything nor does tickling.

He requested some really bizarre items. I can't figure what that's about.

Maybe he's broken?

(ooc: Have fun "talking" with Soraoto.)

... Cube-san, what happened...?

They didn't work....

W-what... what didn't work? What's going on, Cube-san?

[Shinjiro didn't knock (considering) but headed right into Cube's apartment. He kept one hand on the pistol in his coat pocket, just in case... but he didn't see anything threatening right away.

Instead, he heard a faint voice... kind of familiar. He followed it into the bedroom, where he saw Cube, Reisen, and some unfamiliar creature holding the communicator. After a suspicious glance at Soraoto, he crouched down near Cube and shot a quick, uneasy glance between Cube and Reisen.]

What happened...?

The magical items...

my magic...

nothing makes a portal...

[Upon hearing Shinji's voice, Cube's shoulders hiked a little and his fingers pressed against his bangs between his eyes. The demon's voice quivers trying hard to hide the tears in his words]

I can't get to them. I can't bring them back...

A-ah...

*she looked at Shinjiro briefly* I... I think ... some people he knew were sent back home...

*she turned back to Cube, grabbing his hand*

Cube-san...

[He knelt a bit lower, trying to catch Cube's words. He couldn't quite get everything... but he had a suspicion. Reisen just confirmed it. He shook his head and closed his eyes for a minute. Damn this place. He knew how hard this kind of thing was.]

Shit... [Instead of crouching, he just sat next to Cube, cross legged... kind of like he used to when Cube was Fireball. He put a hand on his shoulder. Hesitant and awkward, but it was all the comfort he could think of. No matter what a person tried to say when something like this happened, it never made it any better.]

[Cube's hand lay in Reisen's lifeless for a moment. It wasn't until Shinji's hand touched Cube's shoulder did the demon's hand squeeze Reisen's.]

They were family. My first own family...

It... it doesn't matter.....

it... I should have... [His words broke off, crying silently, or as quiet as he could be.]

*Reisen hesitated a moment... and slowly pulled Cube into a hug. She really didn't know what else she could do besides just that*

[He managed to hear those barely audible last few words...] Tch. It's not your fault.

[Even as he said that, he knew he'd feel guilty in Cube's position. Hell, he had, with Cube THERE as his dog. Fireball...Cube...whatever. Same person. For the first time he really let himself realize that. Hell, Cube (as a dog) was one of the only things keeping him sane when Wolfwood disappeared.

He just kept his hand where it was when Reisen hugged Cube.]

[A sniffle or two into the embrace, Cube started to move a bit more. He squeezes Reisen, thankful for the hug but let go to wipe his tears. Still, Cube's hand did not leave Reisen's. He knew better manners then to have a tantrum upon the floor but somehow he just didn't care at the moment. Cube continues to babble through more tears, barely thinking of what he was saying.]

Why... Why did they have to take both of them? Was it because they're robots? They were more than that...

I... I'm sorry... I don't know...

*she just stayed there with him, gently squeezing his hand*

...

[Shinjiro did the same. Unlike Reisen, he couldn't think of a damned thing else to say... and if he could, he'd just echo her words.]

[His body sagged as he sat there, a bit dazed still. Talking but not sure to whom. His mind was still foggy and hi heart still full of pain and loneliness, even though he wasn't alone.]

I didn't even... get to say goodbye...
