Through destruction and flames eventually something's going to give

[Action 1]

[It's the smell that wakes him more then the sudden transformation of his bed into rubble. The smell of smoke and fire and charred flesh that just makes him sit up with a start, momentarily back in the warehouse before he realizes that he is cold, not hot.

Still, the air makes him cough and choke, and managing to find an old pair of shoes he stands to look for those who shared the house with him.]

Miakis! Omi! Lyon! Lym!

[Action 2]

[Ken's wandering the streets, looking for something, anything useful in trying to figure out what the hell has happened here. He's in danger mode so you may not want to approach him from behind.]

Ema! Boy, am I glad to see you! [He makes his way over the rubble and waves at her.]

How ya holdin' up?

[glowing-science.livejournal.com]

I'm glad to see you, too.

And I'm alive and in one piece. That's enough. [She smiles, although it fades after a bit.]

I know you're not friends or anything, but... have you seen Schuldig? He seems to have vanished into thin air.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

[Ken shook his head] No, I haven't seen him since the Halloween incident. [And he's still mad about it. Stupid Schuldig]

Whatever the case, if he ain't dead, he's fine. We got bigger things to worry about.

[glowing-science.livejournal.com]

So he targeted you then, too, huh? That was... unpleasant. [UNDERSTATEMENT.] Just figured I'd ask.

Miakis and everyone else in your house okay?

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Yeah...Did he get you too? Don't worry about.

Yeah, Miakis is alright, I haven't found the kids yet though. I just hope Lyon and Lym went to go find the Prince. I don't know where Omi's gotten to though.

[glowing-science.livejournal.com]

Hmm. Well, it's easy to lose people in this chaos; I hope they're all okay.

Are you trying to find useful supplies in this madness, too?

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Yeah, honestly I don't know what else to do at this point. I'm too used to having a base to come home to.

[glowing-science.livejournal.com]

So am I.

You know, I thought I'd been through the worst this place has to offer. Apparently, I was very wrong.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Yeah well, we'll live through this too. We gotta. I don't think this place has given up on us yet.

[glowing-science.livejournal.com]

I almost wonder if it'd be easier if they did. Call this a failure and send us all home.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Yeah like that's gonna happen. Because then it'd have to admit that we won, and I have a feelin' this things got a bigger ego then Mastermind.

[glowing-science.livejournal.com]

[Despite herself, Ema laughs at that.] And that's hard to do.

[Although, with how Schuldig's been lately, how much of his ego is actual ego is up for debate. Still, Ken likely doesn't care about that.]

Just... be safe, with whatever comes. Okay?

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

[That's pretty accurate, he doesn't really care about that. He dislikes Schuldig too much.]

It really is, ain't it. But yeah, don't worry about me, ok Ema? I've dealt with worse shit then this.

And you be safe too, ok?

[glowing-science.livejournal.com]

[Ema knows, which is why she's keeping her thoughts to herself. He doesn't have the questionable honor of living with him and developing a strange sort of who-even-knows with him.]

I will be. After I finish making sure people are okay, I'm hiding with Edward. And not coming out for anything until this blows over.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

[Which is probably for the best. They would either end up killing each other every day, or Ken going berserk.]

Good idea. Find a good secure place and stay there.

[glowing-science.livejournal.com]

Right.

You should probably do the same, once you catch up to everyone. I don't think things are safe for anyone right now, trained to fight or not.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Oh don't worry. I'm gonna. I ain't that stupid to think that this place will throw out something that I can deal with easily.

[glowing-science.livejournal.com]

I'm just making sure. I hope you find everyone soon--nighttime is not when I want to be out and about in this place.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Yeah tell me about it. You get going Ema, I know there's people you're probably looking for as well.

[glowing-science.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

Take care of yourself. If--when this blows over, we should get together and catch up.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

I will, it will, and we will! You can count on it. I'll even let Miakis pick out the cookies.

[glowing-science.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a plan, then!

[Ema waves as she starts off.]

Good luck, and I'll see you soon.
