[gazingup]

[ The sound of chirping crickets has become the usual chorus for Tristan's posts, but today there's an added hoot of an owl ]

Alright. Fine, fine- You know what, Yvaine? I give up.

I GIVE UP.

[ Oh look, he's scared away all the birds from the trees again. ]

I've been wandering around bloody forest for nearly a month now. A month! I've searched for you in every nook and cranny— through the City proper, the beach, that park. I would have nearly trekked up that mountain if I hadn't decided to be sensible for once.

I know you don't want to be found. And yes, you have- you have a valid reason, but at least- At least-

At least tell me you're all right? Please.


[ A gap of silence - a few minutes of it, to be exact. ]


I just want to go home. I never- I never wanted this type of adventure, I mean- I've never even been out of Wall! It doesn't help that I've spent almost the entire time in this stinking- [ the sound of a thump as he kicks a tree] bloody forest.

And of course the City wants to rub it in my face! Let's bring in two men that look like your Father and put them right in front of you so you won't forget.

"Chaining up a woman, what would your father think?"

"Oh, look! It's not-you-father. Doesn't that make you think of home? By the way, how's Victoria doing- Wait, I forgot you're stuck in this City!"

I just-

[ a frustrated sigh, followed by another thump as he abuses the tree once more. Sadly, he ends up hurting himself rather than the trunk of the tree.]

...Ow.

Do you need help?

[gazingup.livejournal.com]

...

I'm fine.

Are you sure? Perhaps you should rest this night, Tristan. Put your adventures aside for a fire and some wine.

[brainsnotfists.livejournal.com]

Oh...that sounds like something that should have been on a filter.

[gazingup.livejournal.com]

Filter?

[brainsnotfists.livejournal.com]

Posted so that only a specific person or persons can hear you be frustrated, instead of anyone who's logged in at the moment.


[PRIVATE VOICE:gazingup]

As an example, the only person who can hear this is you, and me.

Oh, dear, you still haven't found her...?

audio 1/2

[gazingup.livejournal.com]

No. Not yet. She's- she's surprisingly sneaky and agile for someone who's spent her life in the sky.

audio 2/2

[gazingup.livejournal.com]

Are you feeling better? You were acting strange seemed off color the last time I spoke to you.

I honestly don't think breaking your toe on some bloody tree'll fix much, mate.

[gazingup.livejournal.com]

I need to vent onto something.

[downrightlinear.livejournal.com]

Problems?

voice:

[gazingup.livejournal.com]

I've- I've lost the star, and I've been unable to find her ... despite searching for two weeks.

[anoblemouse.livejournal.com]

I do not blame her.

[gazingup.livejournal.com]

You're mean little puff of fur, aren't you?

[not-so-smooth.livejournal.com]

Hey there, I'm Sam. I guess you're staying in our warehouse?

[gazingup.livejournal.com]

For the night at least.

Thank you for your hospitality, Sam. And of course, it's nice to meet you.

[nobodyneedknow.livejournal.com]

You're terribly loud.

I don't think you're all right.

[gazingup.livejournal.com]

I'm fine now.

audio; a LONG LONG TIME LATER even if someone else tags, after them too sob

[shiningdown.livejournal.com]

Assuming you've gone to sleep as usual, wake up.

Is it really--

...Yvaine, is that-

YVAINE! There- There you are, are you all right?

[breakerofchains.livejournal.com]

Wow.

[gazingup.livejournal.com]

...Yes?
