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.]

Date: 2011-11-28 03:30 am (UTC)Lloyd, where are you?
[Video]
Date: 2011-11-28 03:41 am (UTC)Don't worry about me. I'll be fine. Zack, you don't look good. Are you all right?
[Video]
Date: 2011-11-28 04:00 am (UTC)Yeah, I'm fine. You've got bigger things to worry about than me right now, man.
[Still moving. He's gonna track Lloyd down if it's the last thing he does...before passing out, anyway.]
[Video]
Date: 2011-11-29 04:13 am (UTC)Not that Lloyd's going to confirm.]
It's only two angels right now, Zack. I managed to shake the others off.
[At least, he hopes that's the case. The idea that Kratos might have deliberately split the others off to circle around for an ambush eats at his mind. He shakes his head, trying to push the worry away.]
I'll be fine. Tell you what. You find someplace warm, and I'll meet you there.
[After he's lost his pursuers.]
[Video]
Date: 2011-11-29 05:24 am (UTC)You're still outnumbered with two.
[siiiiiiiigh. Someplace warm...someplace warm...ah-hah!]
You know where the Arena is, right? I fixed it up a little and the first floor's warm enough. I'll be there, but if you're not at the doors in a half-hour, I'm coming to get you.
[No ifs, ands, or buts about it.]
[Video]
Date: 2011-11-30 01:13 am (UTC)[And it sounds like a good place to meet. Surely the angels won't find it easy to sneak up on them in there.]
I'll be there soon, count on it.
[But no sooner does he hang up than the angels make their move. With a startled yell, he throws himself to the side, then comes up with both swords raised.
It... might take him a little while to get there, Zack. How good are you at waiting?]
[Action]
Date: 2011-11-30 02:22 am (UTC)Or, you know. Go charging at said trouble if Lloyd doesn't get here in the next five minutes. Impatient pup is impatient.]
[Action]
Date: 2011-11-30 02:35 am (UTC)Cursing, Lloyd picks himself up and staggers away from the trash can he'd rolled into while dodging an angel.]
[Action]
Date: 2011-11-30 03:53 am (UTC)There's....nothing there. Zack blinks for a second, then shakes it off and runs forward, grabbing Lloyd's arm and tugging him down the street, back towards the Arena. Can whatever's following him get inside? Zack doesn't know, but he's willing to try anyway.]
[Action]
Date: 2011-11-30 12:55 pm (UTC)-but it's Zack. He all but sags in relief.]
Zack. Man, am I glad to see you! I-
[Oh crap, angel diving through the air with a sword ready to strike! Lloyd pulls to the side, trying to jerk Zack out of the way.]
Zack, look out!
[That's deadly air there, my friend.]
[Action]
Date: 2011-11-30 01:30 pm (UTC)Yeah, me too. Come on, the Arena's not far--
[Zack had turned to pull Lloyd to the relative safety of the building, and the sudden jerk knocks him off balance and he struggles to avoid falling. It works, and he stares at where Lloyd had been looking, but...something's not right.
Maybe his senses are dulled now, but he's quite sure he's staring at nothing. What little sense he has is telling him there's nothing there, but Lloyd's must be saying otherwise. What is he seeing?]
Lloyd, there's nothing there! There's nobody else out here.
[Action]
Date: 2011-11-30 02:55 pm (UTC)[He points. He doesn't stop, though. As soon as he and Zack have steadied themselves, he starts running again, going in the same direction Zack had been heading before. He doesn't let go of his friend, casting a worried look. Just how sick is he anyway?]
Come on, we need to get you inside. You shouldn't be out here.
[And he doesn't like the way the two angels have flown closer together. If they both attack at once...
Lloyd's good, but Zack's right. Two against one odds is bad, and that's what it would be with Zack in the condition he's in, especially if he can't see.]
[Action]
Date: 2011-12-01 04:17 am (UTC)There. Like to see 'em get past that.
[It's only a deadbolt, and the doors are clear glass, but...well, who knows. Could work, and still probably a lot better than stacking the rumpled bedroll that's in the corner in front of it. He has been sleeping here, and though it's much warmer than outside due to a heater, well, it's probably not the best it could be.]
[Action]
Date: 2011-12-01 05:34 am (UTC)Got all the windows locked?
[Action]
Date: 2011-12-01 07:01 am (UTC)[Can't let all the heat escape, even if there's only half a makeshift roof in place on the top floor. Not that Zack's gonna mention that now, though. He's just gonna make sure that Lloyd's not going to fall over anytime soon.]
Maybe you should sit down, man. You want some water?
[Action]
Date: 2011-12-02 12:16 am (UTC)He's starting to catch his breath, though he nods anyway. He's thirsty and he could probably use it after all that running around. However, thirsty or not...]
Just tell me where it is. I can get it. You really don't look good, Zack. How long have you been sick?
[Action]
Date: 2011-12-02 02:17 am (UTC)Couple of weeks, I guess...people were sicker than I was and medicine was hard to find. Figured I'd just tough it out or something.
[Not that it's been working well, but then again, he hasn't been resting much, either.]
[Action]
Date: 2011-12-02 02:24 am (UTC)[The fact that Zack's sickness has lasted so long worries him.]
You should take it easy for a while. [He tries to crack a smile.] No more fighting angels or ghosts.
[Action]
Date: 2011-12-02 10:54 am (UTC)[Said with a grin that doesn't make him look any better, but he really doesn't seem worried. Not for his own sake, anyway.]
Nah, think I'm done fighting for the year. Gotta fix this place up before winter actually gets here, ya know?
[Action]
Date: 2011-12-02 12:22 pm (UTC)Taking a drink of water, he turns back to Zack, curious about that statement.]
What happened to it?
[Action]
Date: 2011-12-03 03:47 am (UTC)That big flood a while back. Whole place was underwater so it was pretty messed up. Managed to fix the ground floor once the water went down, but the upper levels are still pretty rotted out. Can barely get up there without stepping on a bad floorboard.
[Action]
Date: 2011-12-03 02:14 pm (UTC)You need any help? I'm pretty good with a hammer and nails.
[Action]
Date: 2011-12-04 08:19 am (UTC)How good are you with a saw? Need to get the bad boards out before putting in new ones...probably need to fix up the support columns before moving back in, too.
[Action]
Date: 2011-12-05 01:07 am (UTC)[Whatever it was he sensed, he can't see it in the room. Could it have gone somewhere else?
Upstairs?]
Maybe you could show me the damage.
[Action]
Date: 2011-12-05 04:27 am (UTC)[Zack stands up as he says that, casually stretching as he moves towards the stairs to take the lead. If there is something up here after Lloyd, it'll have to go through him first.]
Sure thing. Just watch where you put your feet, okay? Gonna hurt if you fall through 'em.
[It won't take long to get why Zack's saying that; the stairs are incredibly creaky and look they're about to fall apart....along with having a few foot sized holes. Yep. Experience talking.]
