redcladidealist[Lloyd's face is pale, panicked, when the video feed turns on.]
Guys, we have a problem. Cruxis is here.
[He swallows.]
And so is Kratos. He's taken over. It isn't Yggdrasill anymore, it's him. He's-
[His eyes abruptly widen, no longer looking at the Dreamberry but something off screen.]
Damn it, they're back!
[There's a flash of steel as he pulls a sword out, then the feed abruptly turns off.]
[ooc: Backdated to after this.]

Date: 2011-12-05 05:15 pm (UTC)Air? ] Wh- what? Kratos is back? [ Hold on, when did this happen? ]
[Action]
Date: 2011-12-06 12:01 am (UTC)Leave Zack out of this. He's not part of it.
[As he speaks, he tugs on Zack's shoulder, trying to urge him to back down the stairs. He lowers his voice to a near-inaudible whisper.]
Zack, I'm not kidding. We can't fight them up here. You said the floorboards are bad.
[video]
Date: 2011-12-06 12:12 am (UTC)[The hurt and betrayal is thick in his voice. He had thought Kratos was on their side, or at least not an enemy. He'd never thought it would come to this.]
Whatever you do, Colette, don't let him take you back.
[video]
Date: 2011-12-06 12:35 am (UTC)[ She knew he wouldn't lie about this, but-- ] Lloyd, where are you? I can come help you!
[video]
Date: 2011-12-06 12:39 am (UTC)No! If you come here, they'll know where you are for sure! Don't worry about me, Colette. I'll be fine.
[He barely finishes speaking before he lashes out with a blade, slicing through the air.]

Date: 2011-12-06 01:34 am (UTC)[She's not, believe me. She's sitting here and trying not to look at anything but the floor and her knees.
So when she hears him approach, she closes her eyes, panic rising again. What if it was one of the other dead ones...?
But it had to be Lloyd. Right?]
Action
Date: 2011-12-06 01:49 am (UTC)...and the angels in the room.]
Leave her alone! She's not the one you want!
Sheena, are you all right?
Action
Date: 2011-12-06 02:27 am (UTC)Yes...I'm fine. B-But don't hurt them!
Action
Date: 2011-12-06 02:34 am (UTC)[Lloyd's eyes jerk to Sheena in surprise before he snaps his attention back to the angels.]
Sheena, they were going to use you to get to Colette! I'm not going to let them do that!
Action
Date: 2011-12-06 02:36 am (UTC)[There's a reason why she wasn't fighting, Lloyd.]
They never did anything!
Action
Date: 2011-12-06 02:42 am (UTC)[You're not making any sense.]
[Action]
Date: 2011-12-06 04:54 am (UTC)Yeah. Go down first, okay? I got your back.
[That and he's not sure how well the steps will hold up. Lloyd probably weighs much less than Zack does, too.]
[video]
Date: 2011-12-06 04:55 am (UTC)But I don't see anything. Are they far away? [ Yeah, she's worried. ]
[Action]
Date: 2011-12-06 01:26 pm (UTC)Despite the anxiety and the dire situation, a warm flush of emotion still rushes through his chest and forms a small smile. I got your back. He doesn't like it. He doesn't like his friend putting himself in danger like this just for his sake.
But he's glad he has a friend like him.
With a nod, he starts picking his way back down the stairs, casting glances over his shoulder to see what the angels are doing. They're advancing. Kratos is speaking. Lloyd shakes his head in response to words only he can hear, irritation on his face again.]
We're not running away. You're the one who lectured me about how it's a bad idea to stick around in someplace with poor footing, remember? Come on, Zack, don't listen to him.
[video]
Date: 2011-12-06 01:29 pm (UTC)[video]
Date: 2011-12-06 03:56 pm (UTC)There is nothing there. All I see are trees!
[Action]
Date: 2011-12-07 05:06 am (UTC)In one ear, out the other. Heard that lecture enough times when I was a kid, anyway. Besides--[He hops down off the last step, grinning as he goes.]
--No shame in running sometimes. Keeps you alive to fight another day.
[Action]
Date: 2011-12-07 05:16 am (UTC)That's right. Dwarven vow number one hundred and eight: let sleeping dogs lie. You can't always take on everything.
[At the bottom of the stairs now, he lifts both his swords and prepares. He lowers his voice, speaking to Zack.]
Think you can handle the two angels?
[He'll take on Kratos himself.]
[video]
Date: 2011-12-07 05:19 am (UTC)There's two of them. I lost track of Kratos somewhere. Can you see them now?
[video]
Date: 2011-12-07 05:28 am (UTC)Yeah nope. ] Um... [ A nervous pause. ] I still don't see anything... there is nothing there. I'm sorry!
Lloyd, can you please tell me where you are?
[video]
Date: 2011-12-07 12:50 pm (UTC)[He bangs the Dreamberry against his side, but of course that doesn't help.]
Colette, no, I don't want you coming here. You're the one they're after.
What if I meet you somewhere, if I manage to get them off my tail?
[video]
Date: 2011-12-07 04:38 pm (UTC)Huh. ] But-- [ Alright, fine. Cue a choked sigh. ]
Can we meet at the lake? I'll head over there right now! Please be careful...
Action
Date: 2011-12-07 07:05 pm (UTC)No, they're not. They're...they're not Cruxis!
[video]
Date: 2011-12-08 12:50 am (UTC)[He tries to reassure her with a smile.]
Don't worry about me. I'll be fine.
Action
Date: 2011-12-08 01:06 am (UTC)You mean there are angels out there who aren't a part of Cruxis? Angels besides Colette?
