00000110 [voice] - backdated to... last tuesday the 2nd i guess

[donttasemebro]

[There's some dull thuds and rusting noises as the comm is switched on while clearly being pulled out in a fumbled rush. After that's over with, though, the voice on the other side doesn't do much more than breathe shakily for a moment or two, sounding more shocked than out of breath. Then he finally speaks, in a similarly shaky voice.]

H-he-- he just disappeared right in front of me! Yuusei just--! [A beat]

Is... that what porting out looks like? Is that what just happened? Will he...

[Another, longer pause. His breathing slows and quiets, but the slight tremble it had to it doesn't quite go away. His voice goes soft like he isn't even addressing the comm anymore.]

... I haven't heard from Vic in a couple weeks either. I-I...

[Finally there's another gentle fumbling noise and the feed cuts off.]

Tch, it doesn't matter. He was only here a couple months last time too.

[lol SUCH A LIAR. but at least there's no yelling to deal with]

[voice]

[donttasemebro]

Of course it matters! He's-- he's your friend too, isn't he?!

[voice]

[satisfiedsigner]

[this is the most bitter chuckle ever] We'll never know at this rate, will we?

He's my brother. He hasn't been my friend in years.

[donttasemebro]

[lol oh god kiryu this is bruno he does not even know what to do with bitter.]

He--?!

[Also, for lack of any data to suggest otherwise, he's going to be taking that brother bit literally.]

[voice]

[satisfiedsigner]

[vampire!Kiryu will teach him. for the small fee of his innocence.]

[also there's a small pause as he tries to figure out what exactly that exclamation is for]

He thinks we're friends. We used to be, a long time ago. And when you're from...I guess we are again. But I don't know anything about that.

[donttasemebro]

[what hey no he's using that innocence :( ]

[Also Bruno continues to sound fairly surprised/confused as he goes on.]

I--... I think so, I-I don't know much about it either, but--

... You're brothers??

[satisfiedsigner]

[nooooo. come to the dark side Brunoooo.]

[...oh. that.]

Not really. That's just how close we used to be. The two of us and Crow and Jack.

Mostly just him and Crow and Jack.
