[ A moment of silence at the beginning of the audio feed. ]

Do you think it's like when the water was poisoned a few months ago? When everyone started acting... not the same as they usually do. Since it's so wide-spread, it has to be something that can be in a lot of places at once, right? If so many people are acting strangely--

Ruka? Ruka!

[ It's a young boy's voice -- unfamiliar to just about everyone on the network -- shouting from another room. Ruka fumbles the communicator, and there's a loud clatter as it drops to the table. The sound of footsteps; then, in the distance, and Japanese, ]

Rua?! I'm ... When... what... how did-- I--
It's your fault! I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you!
What? What do you mean? Rua, I--
You brought me here! Every night you wanted me to be in this awful place, didn't you? You always do this!
No... No, I wanted...
You wanted to put me in danger, just because you were scared! You never want to go to school, you never want to go outside, so I'm always chained to your side! Because of you, I can't ever do anything I want.
That's not... no, I-- I'm sorry
Yeah, well, sorry doesn't work. You still dragged me to Satellite, didn't you? I didn't want to go, but yooooou were scared! It's your fault!
Please, Rua, I didn't--
You're the reason we got kidnapped by Divine -- the reason I got hurt -- the reason big sis Aki got hospitalized, too! Everyone gets hurt trying to protect you. You're too weak to be a Signer -- you crybaby, always hiding behind everyone else. Always clinging--
I know, I know! I'm sorry, please...
It's your fault, everything! I can't ever have a normal life, or friends, as long as I'm chained to you. Nothing I want matters, because you're too selfish and mean and, and, even though I want to be a pro duelist, I can't because you're the Signer, you're the only one people care about.
I'm sorry!
I'm going to die in this place and it's going to be all your fault!
I know, Rua! It's all my fault! Everything...

[ Something like silence, and then: a shriek, and a thump. That clearly can't be good. ]

Ruka?!

Lorna!

How are you?

[Voice] [kay]

[lady-buckethead.livejournal.com]

I--I'm okay. Are you?

[Voice]

[dragony]

Mmhmm! I dropped the communicator because I wasn't expecting my brother to be here. I'm ... really good.

[On the way out, he hears this; running over, he thumps on her door with a fist.]

[Angrily.]

Ruka!

[Thump.]

Ruka! What's going on in there?

in person/action

[dragony]

[ it takes a moment, but shortly there is the sound of someone trying to get up, and sniffling. ]

... Rua?

Uncle?

[Forget privacy; this is his ward. He has to look out for her. And damn if anyone's going to make a fool of him in his own apartment.]

[Grabs the doorknob, turns it, and swings the door wide open.]

Who's in here?

in person/action

[dragony]

[There's Ruka sitting on the ground, wiping her face, but no other people. In fact, Ruka's communicator is in the other room entirely. But, if his eye is quick, Edgeworth might see something resembling a mouse darting out of the room.]

My brother.

[When she looks up, she's positively beaming.]

My brother's here!

[voice forever]

[punmanarmy.livejournal.com]

Ruka!

Ruka, what happened!?

Aw, geez.

Does anybody know where she is?!

[Voice] [What we shall assume is several minutes later]

[dragony]

Metabee! I'm fine, I'm fine.

[Well, she certainly sounds happy enough.]

[Voice]

[punmanarmy.livejournal.com]

[a 'whew' of relief] Good! Had me worried there.

What was up with all of that, though?

[voice]

[hackeralastair]

Fuuuuck... *because he understood both languages, and the implications*

Hey. Hey, kid! Ruka?

[Voice] [What we shall assume is several minutes later]

[dragony]

Yes?

[Voice]

[hackeralastair]

You all right? That was a hell of an argument to let slip out over the network.

[Voice; J]

[ooc: ffff olesia I'll tag you back and the log later, right now its 3am I need sleep nao]

Ruka! What's going on?!



Was that Rua?!

[Voice; Japanese] [Several minutes after the initial video is posted]

[dragony]

[ooc: don't even worry about it! Go sleep, you.]

Yeah, it was. Didn't you tell him where I lived? I don't know how else he would have found out.

[Voice; Japanese] forever

[starofsatellite.livejournal.com]

No. What's going on in there?

[Voice: Japanese]

[shiromadoushi]

Ruka-chan! Are you all right?

[Voice]

[dragony]

Ryou!

Yes, I'm fine!

[shiromadoushi]

Aah, that's good! It sounded like you got hurt, I was a bit worried!

[silent-duelist.livejournal.com]

Ruka? That was your brother, right? Are you sure you're okay now..? You're not hurt are you?

[dragony]

Yeah, it was. I'm fine, I promise! I just got a little faint, is all...

You don't have to worry about me.
