[[voice post?]]

[[at first, there's only static... and then the recording starts with Phil, Hercules, and Meg arguing in the background over something, but their voices are too hushed to really make out what they're arguing about. Phil sounds particularly upset, but the arguments are cut off as someone faintly groans]]

god...dammit all... [[Josiah's voice sounds very off, as if he is extremely out of it]] ...what the hell... just happened?

[[there is silence for all of two seconds and then Phil begins grumbling about how a good part of the coliseum looks like some demigod went storming through it, and the part that isn't blasted away is flooded from melting ice. This goes on for about three minutes until Hercules manages to calm him down]]

[[confused pause from Josiah and then...]]

...shit. [[this half-hearted exclamation is followed by the sounds of someone being very, very sick. Phil starts grumbling some more, followed by a door slamming shut, and Hercules sighs. Suddenly there's an abrupt amount of static, and the recording eventually shuts off on its own]]

Jojo?

what

[harpie-siren.livejournal.com]

Are you feeling okay?

[menocrede.livejournal.com]

I've felt better

((SO, SO tempted to ask if it was as good for you as it was for me.))

[[you'd probably only get something thrown in your general direction XD]]

[songbird9.livejournal.com]

Wait
Aya actually won this time?

[menocrede.livejournal.com]

I honestly couldn't tell you... can't remember a thing...

[songbird9.livejournal.com]

You gonna be ok?

[menocrede.livejournal.com]

as ok as I can possibly get. I just feel sick and... wrong for some reason... I guess

[songbird9.livejournal.com]

well you were just forced by a bully of a ghost to fight a friend. That'd make anyone feel wrong.

Especially the way Calum uses that Dark magic... Like a Heartless. I just can't get over that.

[menocrede.livejournal.com]

not just a guilt conscience...

maybe it does have something to do with that magic... I feel hollow, not really like myself at all...

[songbird9.livejournal.com]

I didn't just mean that. Being controlled in the first place has got to have a bad effect.

And, uh, that's a really bad description. Seriously. Don't tell me that when I'm already half-delirious with this stupid fever.

[menocrede.livejournal.com]

you'd think I would have gotten used to it by now... especially after not being in control for at least a couple hundred years...

um... sorry - didn't meant to freak you out

[songbird9.livejournal.com]

yeah, but it might be different when he's fighting.

It's ok. Sorry. Just, you know, I seem to recall feeling "hollow and not really like myself at all" this one time, and it took about a year to fix. I'm still hoping that Heartless and Nobodies are gone for good, but the only evidence we have is their absence thus far.

[menocrede.livejournal.com]

again, the idea about banging my head against a concrete wall is sounding really good right about now

...and that isn't something I really want to think about either. But maybe there is something to that old saying about the closer you get to the light... maybe the balance really did get sent through the ringer...

[songbird9.livejournal.com]

That would do more damage to you than him. He's already dead.

It seems a pretty good theory. Ash and I both think so. I mean, it could be something completely unrelated, but what else is so all-encompassing that it would effect so many worlds in the same way?
The universe is composed of Light and Dark. They define everything and hold it together like... like duct tape. If something's not right with the balance between them, then the universe is going to feel it. Might be feeling it now.

[menocrede.livejournal.com]

but I'd feel a whole lot better... after awhile.

at least I don't think I'd be as nauseous anymore... I mean, goddammit, I've been unconscious for the past several days, what the hell

I'm one of those people who believe duct tape fixes everything - time to fix the un

[[ooc: 2/2]]

[menocrede.livejournal.com]

Now that is an interesting theory, little bird.

[songbird9.livejournal.com]

Go away. I was talking to Josiah.

...Unless you've got something useful to say.

[menocrede.livejournal.com]

Manners, Miss Song.

I do enjoy hearing your theories on these... occurences throughout the worlds. It's amusing, to say the least.

[songbird9.livejournal.com]

Don't talk to me about manners when you're the one who interrupted us in the middle of a conversation. Very rude, Captain. Very.

I won't speak to you about anything of the sort unless you offer helpful suggestions or information in return. As you've been little to no help so far, I doubt you even can.

[menocrede.livejournal.com]

I hardly interrupted, little bird, seeing as whenever he's conversing with you, so am I, in a way.

You don't need to discuss them with me. Just tell the boy, and I'll find out anyway.

intellectual arguments; an occasion she'll rise to no matter what state she's in

[songbird9.livejournal.com]

I'd like to argue that by taking control, you cut him off from speaking to me. Right in the middle of a sentence, in fact. If that's not interrupting, then you or I must be dreadfully confused about the word's definition.

And if you're only purpose is to eavesdrop, then why even tell me? The only thing it encourages me to do is start hiding my posts from poor Josi's eyes.

Re: intellectual arguments; an occasion she'll rise to no matter what state she's in

[menocrede.livejournal.com]

Argue your point. It doesn't matter to me much, all things considering. Although I am curious - have you ever considered how much this magic is affecting him? Not everyone falls in line with your ideas of "good" and "evil", if there ever were such things.

Wouldn't you like to know? Nothing is ever entirely secure.

[songbird9.livejournal.com]

I've considered that your frequent possessions may be quite damaging to him, one way or another. Are you suggesting that, or something else? Change in a more ambiguous sense, perhaps, given your little comment about good and evil?

[menocrede.livejournal.com]

I suppose you have something to look forward to in the future, then. More... "theories" to test out.

[songbird9.livejournal.com]

Look, if you're not actually going to tell me anything, then I see no point in speaking with you. Let Josiah come back. You've tormented him enough.

[[ooc: 1/2]]

[menocrede.livejournal.com]

Honestly, little bird, where's the fun in that?

But since you did ask so politely...

[[ooc: 2/2]]

[menocrede.livejournal.com]

....I think that

I'm going to be very sick
sorry

[songbird9.livejournal.com]

I think...

we need to find out how to kill a ghost.

[ariakitsune.livejournal.com]

You seem to really need a bubble lately.

[menocrede.livejournal.com]

or advil or tylenol or ibuprofen... hell, I'll even take pepto right about now

[ariakitsune.livejournal.com]

You are a trouble magnet. The weirdest things just keep happening to you.

Go get some rest or something.

[menocrede.livejournal.com]

can't argue against any of that, I guess

[shadowchaser.livejournal.com]

I oughta make you a good luck charm. Or something.

[menocrede.livejournal.com]

as long as it'll kill undead pirates who don't know when to shut the hell up

[shadowchaser.livejournal.com]

Maybe a shrunken Igor head. ...No, I have no idea how that's supposed to be good luck. Wishful thinking, maybe.

Undead pirate...vampire! I knew it. Please tell me my lame attempts at humor are working a little bit.
