[Audio, backdated to the evening of the 23rd]

Right...for anyone who cares I'm home...I missed you all very much I promise.

Has anyone seen Pico? If not I'll need an escort to the primary village.

Oh...Jungle Karma Pizza is closing at six on Christmas Eve and won't be open again till the 26th. Enjoy your holidays, have some Chinese food.

For the rest of you, what'd I miss while I was gone?

You'll need to lay down. I'll get Pico's egg. We couldn't find anything after...you fell over the edge.

[fedorafan.livejournal.com]

Yeah...not nearly as fun the third time.

...so only a week?

Re: [Audio]

[accidntlgoddess.livejournal.com]

Yeah. A week.

...

How long was it for you?

Re: [Audio]

[fedorafan.livejournal.com]

Months...not a year but...we're in the summer now.

...

Re: [Audio]

[accidntlgoddess.livejournal.com]

...Summer.

Oh, gosh, you've caught up to me. And...you remember...what happened...

Re: [Audio][fail locked]

[fedorafan.livejournal.com]

Um...

what I said...before I left?

...I meant it.

Re: [Audio][fail locked]

[accidntlgoddess.livejournal.com]

What you- ...o-oh. That.

You...you really meant it?

Re: [Audio][fail locked]

[fedorafan.livejournal.com]

W-well...yeah...I mean...why not?

Re: [Audio][fail locked]

[accidntlgoddess.livejournal.com]

Well...N-Noir, you've...always been interested in Yuna. [slight disgust when she says her name.] Even after she...killed you.

Re: [Audio][fail locked]

[fedorafan.livejournal.com]

...yeah well what's the most commonly used phrase around me? "Noir you idiot"

Re: [Audio][fail locked]

[accidntlgoddess.livejournal.com]

...

You're being serious, right? You aren't just...trying to console me, right?

[Deep breath, muttering something that sounds like "Come on you loser just say it"]

I love you Gaia. I want to be with you if you'll have me.

[You can practically hear the blush]

[Going to use this time to track her down from her D-comm signal]

Re: [Audio][fail locked]

--Wh-wha- NOIR, YOU IDIOT! I HATE YOU!



Of- of course I will, what kind of stupid question is that?!

Re: [Audio][fail locked]

[fedorafan.livejournal.com]

[And oh look there he is in the doorway]

Really?

Re: [Audio][fail locked]

[accidntlgoddess.livejournal.com]

[Turns to look at him.]

...Yes. I...meant what I said too.

Re: [Audio][fail locked]

[fedorafan.livejournal.com]

G-great!

[laughs nervously]

S-so...what happens now?

Re: [Audio][fail locked]

[accidntlgoddess.livejournal.com]

[Walks right up to Noir, grabs his shoulders.]

This happens next.

[Kisses him, right on the mouth.]

[Ever feel like the world behind you is falling away, the ground is moving under your feet and somehow you've shot a thousand feet into the air in half a second? Yeah it's kinda like that for him, thank god he kisses back]

Re: [Audio][fail locked]

[accidntlgoddess.livejournal.com]

[Pulls away, gently.]

...You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that.

Re: [Audio][fail locked]

[fedorafan.livejournal.com]

[Still has his hands on her from the embrace but may need a minute, he's got kind of a silly stunned smile and a fully dark gray blush]

Re: [Audio][fail locked]

[accidntlgoddess.livejournal.com]

[Oh, god, smirking so much.]

You still think I'm a little kid, Mr. Detective?

Re: [Audio][fail locked]

[fedorafan.livejournal.com]

[Shakes head no still a little stunned but coming out of it]

That was SO worth the trip to hell and back...

Re: [Audio][fail locked]

[accidntlgoddess.livejournal.com]

[Smirk wavers, just a bit.]

...How were you? When you...got back. Did you remember everything you did...here?
