kickingcatcher | 3rd kick: voice/action for house 11

[When Crys arrives back at the house late at night, she pretty much looks like a wreck. She just looks plain exhausted, and her left arm is in a sling. The rest of her is spotted with a few bruises and small scrapes, but nothing too horrible aside from her arm. As she walks up to the house, she notices the... weird ice wall? And stares in disbelief before walking in. Why she didn't notice it sooner, we may never know. Anyway, walking back into the house now. Mega walks with her for support as Crys closes the door. Unconsciously, she speaks to nothing.]

I'm home...

[Except everyone is asleep. Whoops. Mega nudges her gently with her head, and Crys pats her back. Letting out a tired sigh, she'll just walk to the kitchen and get some water or something. And sits down with her good hand covering her face.]

[Voice]

[Much later in the day on the 24th, and at a more reasonable time than midnight, she opens up the journal and pauses for a bit. She sounds a little tired, taking a deep breath before speaking.]

Has being here changed anyone?

Wait, do you mean that when we don't suffer "alone", you mean someone else is suffering, too? Or that we have someone to help us to the suffering?

Both, isn't it? If someone's compelled to help, they've got enough sympathy to be harmed by your own suffering... Maaah, but that could be optimistic, they might jut be egotists.

No, no, that's not optimistic. Most people think that. i know I have with some friends of mine.

Ah. So you're fortunate.

I'd like to think I am. Do you have friends like that?

Oh! Probably a few, yeeeap.

... you can count me among them. If you want.

Hooooh. That's abrupt - does Gold's trust work by proxy?

--eh? No, why would you say that?

Because the way I see it, have we even interacted that much? That's abrupt of you, Crystal-chan.

So? You're a nice person, at least in my opinion. You make it sound like a bad thing.

But I'm also a famous pervert, don't you know?!

--you're a what. [Said oh-so-flatly.] I just thought you were a ridiculous flirt...

Oh, you can decide.

I think I just did. [You can guess by the tone what she decided.]

So you decided yes, huh?

Yes, I think you're a pervert. [She just heard it from the Ponyta's mouth. Or something.]

And you are quite the expert on the subject, I imagine!

No, but you just admitted it to me. [And then there's that incident with Gold slapping Blue's ass and calling her sexy. She knows what that is, at least.]
