[ Ange's too lame to actually record a custom voicemail message, but still, feel free to leave a message after the standard message's beep or just normally call her.

Threads for roommates or in-person stuff can also be started here. ]

[Ever since Battler showed up and everything he's been a little concerned for Ange, but like hell he would ever admit it. He decided to ring her up this time though, maybe find out where she is.]

Oi red, I haven't seen you around so tell me where you're hidin' already.

voice;

[entreats]

[ .. Hah. Honestly, since she isolated herself for a while to think about the whole implications of Battler being here and all, she didn't really expect anyone to come looking for her. Or even contact her. But as she's sitting on one of the empty rooftops, she suddenly notices the old phone lying next to her on the roof going off.

She looks at it. Senji-- .. he's calling her? Well, if it's him, then she'll pick up despite being lost in her own thoughts. ]

Huh? [ It comes out instinctively. Sure, she's been worried about him and looking for him a few times by now, but.. it's strange when he's suddenly doing it in return for her now. She ends up staring in surprise at her phone for a moment before she properly replies. She can't not tell him where she is, keeping secrets from Senji has felt too weird for a while already now. ]

... One of the buildings near the billboard. I'm on the roof.

[deadcenter]

[Basically, Senji called out Ange to go to one of the old abandoned buildings around here, wanting to talk to her about something. He doesn't really know how to even start this, how to bring up what he's been thinking and what he's been feeling. He's a fighter, he shouldn't be feeling anything like this, he should just be concentrated on killing and only that.

It seems that they've walked into the school, into the nurse's office to be exact, since Senji said he wanted to check if they had any medicines or anything left over in here....

But.... that's not what he really wanted.

He had been walking around for the past few days, playing with the ring she had given him and thought this entire thing over. They had known each other for, what? Half a year now? And during that time they've been through so much, seriously. Senji grunted at the thought, the only sound that came from him in the quiet room as they looked for the medicines and whatnot in the cabinets of the office.

He really didn't know how to start...]

[entreats]

[ Honestly, it's not like any of this is easy for her either. She's more or less realised it - finally. The feeling she's had for a while now, she never understood it. She knew Senji was someone important to her, more important than just a friend, but then she didn't know what other kind of feeling it was. It wasn't until he touched her hand back when Battler arrived that she finally understood it really was love.

But that just made everything more difficult. How is she supposed to tell him that? He's not the type for it at all, she's sure, and with her.. no way, right..? She doesn't want to lose him, so maybe she just shouldn't tell him. It's what she decided on that day and is still sticking with.

Until now.

She's rummaging through a drawer, only finding some really old and half-decayed stuff everywhere. A sigh as she opens another empty drawer. It really is difficult to find anything here, but honestly, it's more of a distraction right now rather than her fully trying to find something. All the thoughts about telling him or not are resurfacing now she's alone with him somewhere, and it makes her heart pound so impossibly loudly that she almost fears he could hear it. Even if that's impossible, of course.

But despite what her heart tells her or her head tells her, her mouth opens by itself, word spilling out. At least she's not facing him right now since she's still staring at the drawer.. ]

.. Hey, Senji?

action;

[deadcenter]

[When the shaking first began Senji felt a little concerned about it, not too much, but it just kept going on, and with it growing worse here he was having some flash backs, thinking about the time back home where that earthquake happened that changed everything, where that Red Hole incident pretty much sank all of Tokyo and from that moment on his life changed completely.

He was going through the city, looking for her specifically. Sure, he was concerned about everyone else, the people that he had met since coming here, but he just wanted to find her, he had to.

The shaking continued, and he was practically jogging through the city, and as soon as he found her, he ran faster towards her, not even giving her a warning or anything.]

Ange!

[With the constant shaking he was convinced this was another Red Hole incident, so of course he was feeling a little more freaked out than usual. He grabbed her arm, pulling her into an alleyway.]

The fuck is all this...?!

[entreats]

[ Despite the monsters and snails, Ange hasn't really been fazed by all of it. It's why she still goes out on walks like this even with the monsters around, she knows most of them hang out near the well so as long as she avoids that area she's safe. And she can run fast if she has to, either way, plus with the powers she finally learned how to use here again she thinks she doesn't really have anything to be scared of.

Even the light tremors that then get a little bit more heavy don't scare her. It's a little surprising, she didn't think about earthquakes before, but they have them here too, huh? But even as she's thinking about that with her usual lineface she suddenly hears something coming towards her, and--

Before she knows it, she's grabbed and pulled away. Ange's not exactly struggling, but her expression is still a little openly surprised. ]

Senji..! [ She looks at him as he pulls her in there. ] It's just an earthquake, right?

[splitthebaby]

[whale whale whale, what do you have here.]

Would you be interested in a small deal?

[entreats]

Ah, so nowadays they even have people calling you up to make shady sales in this place? [ But despite that, she sounds.. well, much like she usually does. Just as indifferent as she always is, which is why she still goes on. ]

What is it?

[Voice]

[theshiningone]

Yo, Ange. [That is indeed a Hiro who is sounding very chipper.]

From this day forward... You're a proud member of the Zuppashi Brigade.

[entreats]

[ .. oh, huh, Hiro's calling? What for--

...... ]

What did you and Senji think up this time? [ There's only one person who would name anything 'Zuppashi'.. Her extreme lineface is reflected even in her very tone. ]

action;

[deadcenter]

[he had just endured a long and grueling battle, his body battered and beaten, covered in blood, and to top it off he had a broken arm. damn, vampires really do hit hard...

senji made his way back to the apartments, focusing on just getting there, wanting a place to rest for a bit. he was tired from the day's events, everything that had happened to him was taking a toll on his body, but like hell he would admit it. slowly he walked, holding his arm as he did, but as he went to that building he just had to stop for a moment, lean against the outside of the building by the doors. he was breathing heavily to himself, a hand leaving his arm and it went up to his neck, touching the wound, pressing a palm to it to try and get it to stop bleeding.

oh well.. it'll stop, he's had way worse than this.

he moves away from the wall now, opening the doors to the building and he makes his way inside, slowly but he does manage, eventually moving into the room with all the beds, settling down on his own bed, not concerned that he's probably getting blood all over the sheets.]

[entreats]

[ Well, that's sure the last thing Ange expects to see when she returns to the room. She had been in the kitchen, trying to mooch food off someone else since god knows Ange shouldn't go near any cooking equipment, and she was just returning with the food to the room to eat it there.

But when she walks in, instead of an empty room like when she left, there's a different sight altogether. She stops walking, freezing in the middle of her step, her heart sinking right down in her body. Seeing Senji is not a bad sight, but he's completely covered in blood, his arm looks sort of weird and limp, she can see bruises and cuts and... what..? Is this an illusion, something their captors are doing to put her on edge? If so, it's definitely working, she's freaking out as we speak. Her eyes grow wide, her usual pokerface disappearing, and in two quick steps she's already near Senji's bed. ]

Senji..! [ She's not even bothering to lower her tone. All she knows is that he's hurt, hurt really badly, and she has to do something about it, she has to make sure he's alright, maybe she should call someone who can heal like Ciel or Luna or...

Her stomach is doing flips. Briefly the image of Senji's body lying there, covered in bullet holes, shoots through her mind, and.. ]

A.. are you.. [ She shakes her head quickly, obviously he's not okay. ] What..?!

[ The devastation is pretty obvious in her expression. ]

video; no linkin park logs this time

[expiatrice]

[ring ring ange

it's meddler's check-up time

i mean

hey you recognize that picture right, you should pick up...]

CRAWLING IN MY SKIIIIIN

[entreats]

[ Sure, sure, not like she minds talking to Ciel, after all.. besides, she wanted to talk to her sooner or later since she hasn't seen her ever since that whole mess happened, so it's pretty convenient Ciel called her first. ]

Hey, Ciel-san. [ But it's Ange, so you shouldn't expect a greeting that's just that normal.. ] Good to see you haven't gone up and died just yet. [ Or well, not permanently, either way.. treating death casually since 1986. At least Ange looks just fine though! Sure, she has a scar across her eye that sort of looks like the marks of a claw, but she's rested enough by now to look just like normal otherwise. ]

giorno

[entreats]

( continued from here. )

Although I can't deny that you've said a smart thing or two enough for me to have helped you out before, you're just starting to lose points with the whole flower petals thing. [ It's hard to tell if that's a deadpan joke or if she's serious.. ]

yuri

[entreats]

( continued from here. )

Good. Although it wouldn't make a difference either way.

[ .. Yeah, definitely not taking no. At least she's done properly getting dressed for going outside now. And she mostly looks okay - maybe still a little bit pale, but nothing that's too concerning. Even the scar is just that, a healed scar. And despite having said she's fine for weeks already, this is the first time in a long while she's truly been alright. ]

.. Well, where did you want to go look?

audio; evening

[encored]

[CALLING... calling..... his vague tsundere concern is starting to take hold now that he's had a few weeks to grapple with Abel's disappearance and Diva flipping her shit.]

Ange?

audio;

[entreats]

[ Tsunconcern, huh, Charles.. granted, if he hadn't called in a while from now, she probably would eventually have called him instead to speak under slightly more favorable circumstances again. It's why, despite that her tone has returned to the usual deadpan, she honestly doesn't mind the call. In fact, it makes her feel a little glad. ]

Yo. [ Yup, as calm as ever. ] There's not a problem or anything, is there?

[ JUST.. MAKING SURE.. IN ADVANCE... sure, Charles might be chill to talk to, but since she's not used to all this ~social~ she still isn't fully used to assuming someone would call to just talk or whatever. ]

voice ; 11/20

[intuits]

-Um. This probably seems random, especially since I don't even know your name yet... You can just ignore this too, if it bothers you. But I've wanted a chance to talk to you ever since we escaped that hospital a while ago. I thought maybe I would meet with you eventually after that, but it seems like every time we meet, we're trapped in another strange situation. I don't want that to keep happening, so... So if you have some free time to spare, can we chat for a bit?

[entreats]

[ Yeah, "strange situation" sounds alright.. although technically this entire place is one big situation, but Ange holds herself back from saying that much, at least. She doesn't sound like she particularly minded the way they kept meeting though - even if what happened back in that prison had any impact on her, it sure doesn't show in her tone. ]

Sure, I don't really mind. It's not like there's much else to do in this place but talk, after all. [ There's almost an audible shrug in her words.. ]

Are you okay again after all that?

voice; backdated to when mockingbird first showed up- PLACEHOLDER SO I WON'T FORGET

[deadcenter]

[senji had contacted ange as soon as he was finished dealing with that damn mockingbird. no... it wasn't him, it couldn't have actually been toto, he knew that it had to be the chief of the prison in disguise. whatever he had done he had taken over toto's body.

he was a sick fuck, that's for sure.]

Ange, listen up. There's another Deadman running around here and I I'm warning you to stay away from him.

SCREAMS INTO YOUR INBOX DON'T FORGET!!!

[entreats]

[ Of course she's quick to answer a call from Senji, no matter the content. But when she hears his tone right off the bat, starting right away with "listen up", her body tenses a little bit more. She knows Senji better than anyone, and he's not the type to make a serious warning unless he means it-- so of course she's going to listen to it and actually try to keep herself to it. Especially since she promised to him that she would be a little less reckless for his sake too.

But then he talks about it, and.. a Deadman, really? She knows about Minatsuki being here and while she might not exactly get alone with the girl either, it's more because of personal - and slightly petty - reasons rather than her being a danger. But she can imagine not all people in Senji's prison must have been good people in the wrong circumstances like him.

So her reply comes to her easily. ]

Got it. [ No questions asked about whether she should really take heed to this - she will, for him. ]

What does he look like? I can probably find him in the list of pictures on the phone if you describe him, then I'll know who exactly to not bother with.

action; hope this is okay!

[littlestguano]

[Sometime after the event, he will find her, walking around Haven probably during some evening. He's wearing his Robin uniform as usual and when he finally manages to locate her after a while of searching through Haven, he flips off of the roof he'd been on and jumps down in front of her. Now in the fading light and without a video screen she can probably make out that he appears pretty young. Maybe surprisingly young, maybe not.]

Ushiromya. [He crosses his arms and takes advantage of the mask to give her a hidden once over and determine her status.]

it's totally fine! sorry for the lateness! c:

[entreats]

[ She probably shouldn't be too surprised by this. After all, he did announce he'd come to check up on her sooner or later... and it's not like people jumping off roofs is something too surprising to Ange. She's done it herself, even if it wasn't with an outfit as ridiculous as his own.

So she looks fairly calm. A lot better than before, too, but of course she'd look better when she doesn't have to wrestle with about seven whirlpools on a single day and when she isn't completely soaked. ]

Difficult guy. [ Listen, she's totally going to insist on that when he keeps using her last name like that after her specifically saying she doesn't really like that. ]

You sure are a man of your word, huh?

[ Her tone is a lot more like usually too - light, a little too casual in any given situation. Deadpan. ]

action; backdated to before the event

[intendance]

[So... you don't actually want to know how she found your room BUT SHE DID. she probably asked everyone until she found it.

And then.

Here she is, knocking at your door.

KNOCK KNOCK she has a present!!!]

i can't believe this is really happening

[entreats]

[ .. Ange is actually a little surprised to hear the knock.. she didn't expect anyone to show up at all?! Who would come and seek her out..

But on the other hand, all her other roommates are out for the day, so surely they would have ran into any of them outside if they were looking for Amaterasu or one of the others. So the girl gets up, opening the door half-hesitantly, half-curiously..

Only to spot Morgan.

Well. That's.. probably a visitor for her after all, huh. For better or worse. ]

Morgan? [ In that "WHY ARE YOU EVEN HERE..." kind of tone, yes. ]

audio, after the end of the last event. sometime.

[viciouscycles]

[This is dumb. Like, real stupid.

She didn't leave their encounter in complete despair, so he doubts that she went right back to that ledge after they parted ways. So why the hell is he calling her to make sure she didn't?

Really stupid.

By the third ring he's getting incredibly annoyed (at himself). Just pick up already, so he can prove whatever it is he needs to himself and move on with his day, GOD.

The tsun is back in full force. Unfortunately.]

oh my god i'm laughing so hard, 2x tsun battle go

[entreats]

[ Ange's a little lazy about picking up.. mostly since she doesn't expect anyone to call her. Who would want to call her, anyway, let alone in this place?

So she just assumes someone pressed the wrong picture and is just still lazily lying on her bed, rolling over. Just realised you dialled the wrong number and hang up, persistent person.

.. except the phone just.. keeps ringing.

There's another moment of hesitation, but then she slowly reaches out towards it. Is she really going to have to spell it out for this person? How annoying.

Picking up the phone lazily now. ]

Hey, you got the wrong number. [ WHAT A WAY TO GREET A PERSON, ANGE.. ]

action; just post-event again

[intendance]

[knock. knock. knock.

The knock is a death knell.

It means.

Morgan has come again.

yo.]

[entreats]

[ Ange's worst fears are coming true right here. The dreaded knock of doom..

There's half of her that, in fact, does know what it most likely means. It's why she doesn't even look surprised this time to see Morgan outside of the door when she opens - and Ange's expression is even flatter for it. ]

You again.

[ (The rock is visible though if Morgan will bother to look - apparently Ange put it down on a table rather than actually throwing it somewhere like she had threatened to do.) ]
