[Cellphone]

S'early, I know. Can we talk?

October 15th, early morning; [0400]

[Action/Audio]

[Levi had happened to glance at the calendar on his way to his morning workout, and stopped short. October 15th? That meant... He swore low under his breath, for forgetting, before marching right up to the PA room. He remembered Yuri talking about this vaguely once, and he locks the door behind him. After a few tries getting it to work, he manages to hit the right button and begins;]

Hey fuckers, wake up. Emergency party planning in the mess hall ASAP.

Ichigo, you especially. We gotta bake a cake or some shit.

{ooc: The Party Log is up!}

This is early even for you...

[ Yuri's voice sounds a tiny bit groggy, perhaps a little muffled like she hadn't even completely lifted her head from the pillow to speak. She'd only been asleep for about 3 hours after all. ]

Something wrong?

[ Despite the fact that she was obviously not in the mood to be awake, her tone quickly adapted a serious tinge. What else would he be calling her at 3am for? ]

[springcleaning]

Couldn't sleep all night, see.

Tell me-- those shadow things, can they make you see shit?

[tenminutes]

It's only been 3 hours.

[ "All night" it isn't even through the night yet. There's a brief sound of shuffling as Yuri goes to sit up. ]

Only if they get you. They'll rewrite your memories and you'll see everything like you actually belong as a student here. It's not fun, I've been through it. Why? Are you seeing something?

[springcleaning]

Nah I meant like... I dunno the fuckin' word-- makin' you imagine something that ain't there.

[tenminutes]

Why? What did you see?

[ Her voice gets a little more stern all of a sudden, like she hadn't even been sleeping. ]

[springcleaning]

One of my squad. She died, just before I got here.

[His tone is flat as always, giving nothing away.]

Showed up a couple weeks ago, and I only saw her once or twice.

Now she's gone again.

[tenminutes]

Chances are she was probably actually here. There have been people here before who came and disappeared. I don't exactly understand it but.. there have been previous members of the SSS who have shown up too. Chances are that your squad member found a way to accept her life and move on.

[springcleaning]

But I told her she could stay with us, and shit... and she didn't seem real happy at all.

I mean, Petra always seems fuckin' happy but I know her better than that.







I can't see her leavin' just like that.

[tenminutes]

I know a lot of things about this place, but if I had all the answers we probably wouldn't have any problems anymore. I don't think I've heard of anyone hallucinating a person before, but there have been some disappearances and reappearances that don't make any sense. Your Petra might be one of those cases.
