003 || {Video or Action}

[Hope's life has certainly been thrown into turmoil over the past few weeks, and there's certainly more to come. Now that Lightning's returned, and seems to have gathered her strength... he admittedly can't take his mind off his own problems at hand. He saw her brand—but what's to become of his?

His days, too, are numbered.

After a slumber fraught with nightmares, the boy awakens to find a more urgent, pressing problem at hand.

[Somehow, by the grace of whatever deity is over this place, he finally manages to open the journal by his bed and paw his way into a video broadcast.

The screen is filled with a fluffy white puppy face.

RUFF!

Um... w-what's going on!? Am I dreaming!?? Someone help! Lightning? Aerith?!

[Later on that day, he can be found sulking outdoors in the grass by the pathway that separates Community House #4 from the other residential homes, head on his curly fluffy paws.

He can, in fact, be understood if anyone attempts to converse with him. Translations are in italics.

[They don't sound like Light, that's for sure.]

A week. But you might change back before that. Cross your fingers! --Paws.

Do you need help? Is Light up there? [Leeeet's start moving upstairs, just in case.]

Sorry for the lateness. LJ kept going down whenever I had a chance to tag. ;-;

I'm pretty sure she is... but... I don't know if I want her to see me like this. Or anyone ever. [Ignoring the fact that you broadcasted your state over the video feature in everyone's journals, Hope.

Still, he can tell she's already moving, so there's really no arguing it. Instead, he stares down fruitlessly at his paws when she tells him to cross them.
]

I can't even do that. I can't pick up anything, either. How can anyone even function like this?

[Sulk, sulk.]

Hope, it's Lightning. She's not going to make fun of you. And she'd worry if she didn't see you.

As for how you function, well... Baldr does it just fine, doesn't he?

[identity profile] contempsi.livejournal.com 2011-04-09 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
But Baldr's always like this... it's not like he's aware he's supposed to be something else. Because he's not.

[Hope lies down with his head on his paws. This whole thing is so crazy.]

[A soft sigh, because Hope, you are switching tracks on her. Or maybe just on a one-way train to Angstville.]

Looks like we need a distraction~

[identity profile] contempsi.livejournal.com 2011-04-10 03:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe... [A huff of breath not unlike a sigh. How can he possibly be distracted from something this huge, though?]

We could play a game! [...She should not be considering "fetch" just for the indignant reaction AND YET...]

[identity profile] contempsi.livejournal.com 2011-04-12 12:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[Is Aerith about to troll him!? Because she totally should.]

What kind of game... [Somewhere between mournfully and sulkily.]

I think I have a ball around here somewhere...

[identity profile] contempsi.livejournal.com 2011-04-13 01:17 pm (UTC)(link)
. . .

I don't want to play with a stupid ball. I'm not a real dog. [A momentary pause there.] Maybe if Baldr plays too. I can teach him how to play kickball or something.

See? You're already coming up with ideas.
