kindhearted | 003 ✒ voice [backdated to 8/8]

[Even though the madness caused by the battle dome subsided many days ago, Roji has just now managed to get settled back into his apartment. Despite the fact the ghosts were holograms, they were still ghosts, and they terrified him! Normally Muhyo would be able to get rid of them, but Roji was on his own, and he didn't have the ability that Muhyo had.

So after being paranoid of ghosts popping up in the middle of the night for a few days, he's finally calmed down and realized that they're gone. For now, anyway.]

H-Hello, everyone. I apologize for my behavior the last week or so. I was recovering from the effects of the chaos... [his tone seems to turn a little more cheerful] But I'm okay now. I'm just glad everything's back to normal for no--

[Spoke too soon. Roji is cut off by a bunch of racket outside his apartment. There's a lot of slamming and dragging. Your typical struggle, in other words. In the midst of the sounds, Roji can be heard jumping up from his hair and bolting for the door.

There's not another word from him until several minutes later, after the racket has died down.

Definitely spoke too soon.]

They...they took Ginia. I t-tried to stop them, but I was too late.

... I'm sorry.

[And he ends the feed there. He's feels far too shaken and guilty to continue.]

Ms. Ginia S-Solana...?

[Robert sounds... tired, mostly. Tired and a little empty. Between preparing for moving and finding Ingrid gone and in general being a blob of sad, hearing about yet another friend - even a new one - being taken is not fun.

She protected him, during the last debacle. But of course, he can't protect her in return. He never can.]

... I... I w-will keep watch for her. Thank you for... i-informing us...

G-Ginia is . . . gone?

[ Martel didn't know who she was speaking to, but she did know Ginia. Ginia. The one who saved her from that Sword Dancer. The one who was kind enough to risk her life to help her. She was gone. ]

Hey, it's okay. You did your best, right?

That's what counts.

[Roji can hear the sadness in Robert's voice, and of course he can't help but feel worse. He really wishes he could have done more.]

I'm...I'm really sorry, sir.

Yes. W-Well, she should be back soon, but I wish I could have done something. I don't want her to have to go through this...

But it wasn't enough.

[Sorry Ven, these things tend to get to him.]

[Aw, man. That didn't work...

Okay, gotta rethink this a little.]

But I'm sure she wouldn't hold it against you. Sometimes these things happen.

Is . . . she going to be alright?

[ She has seen what had happened to Rydia when she returned from her kidnapping. It was frightening to imagine what could happen to Ginia. ]

Please do not a-apologize. Nobody can... do anything to those droids.

[... He still blames himself when his friends are taken, though. But he's a hypocrite.]

The fact you even a-attempted was... quite remarkable.

[In the back of his mind, he always had that feeling. If even the strongest people can be defeated by the droids, what chance does he have?]

I guess all we can do is wait... I hope she's okay.

I wish I could say yes, but I really don't know.

[It does hurt to say that.]

But let's hope she will be.

[That does calm him down a bit, but he still hates the fact that he couldn't do anything. He's silent for a moment.]

... You're right. I apologize. I'm just...worried.

I hope s-so myself. Just... one never kn-knows, with the barbaric "scientists" responsible...

[The best they can do is hope, really.

Robert exhales slowly, shaking his head a little.] Are you a-alright?

Ginia... [ It was always hard in these circumstances. Helios' voice is barely above a whisper. He sighs nothing can be done and it's not fair when it happens. He'll be sure to be on the look out for her when she returns though. ]

Are you all right? Ah, besides from, from the obvious I-I mean...

Maybe . . . maybe there's a way we can save her?

[ Her voice is hopeful, but she's unsure if it'll even be within their ability to make such a daring rescue. She doesn't even know where Ginia was taken to. ]

It's okay. You've got every right to be worried; I know I'd feel the same way.

[Especially if anything happened to Terra or Aqua.]

Hey. You did what you could. Don't beat yourself up over it.

[Roji doesn't want to know what the worst things the scientists have done to residents are, so he only answers Robert's question.]

Yes, I'm fine. I got shoved around, but they didn't really hurt me...

I'm not sure. I don't think anyone knows where exactly the droids go, and it sounds like they can overpower anyone.

[He sighs,] It's frustrating.

I guess the most I can do is wait. It's frustrating, not being able to do much else.

I'm fine. They didn't do much to me when I tried to catch up with them. It only took a shove and I was down. [Roji doesn't sound very proud about that.]

... I'm Sorry, Mister Helios.

[[OOC: Since I still need to tag Alice's post, I'm going to assume Roji knows something's up by now.]]

Thank you.

I hope you didn't mind that I cleaned up around your apartment while you were gone. I figured with everything happening, the last thing you wanted to do was deal with that.

((ooc: Perfectly fine with me!))

It's appreciated. Wouldn't have been able to do much with one hand anyway so it means a lot.

I know what you mean. It's not fair how people get taken away, either. They can't even fight back.

That is... good to hear.

... I am n-not certain if anybody is ever... s-seriously injured by them, other than the individuals they are... attempting to capture.
