....Again?

[ Yes. That's all he has to say at this point. ]

[ OOC: All the trolling, all the crack! GIMME! x3 ]

[It's very difficult to tell if the woman in this video is actually addressing anyone or simply talking to herself.]

Again and again and again, I fear. I remember it all--all of the spinning in circles, eyes half-blind.

[worldofourown]

[ That's not exactly unusual behavior, where Karl is concerned. He eyes the speaker blearily, ]

Hm.

Spinning has a way of rendering one half-blind, or so I'm told.

No, you don't understand at all. Your head's too full for puzzles--your moon's too bright and the Queen is sharpening her sword.

[worldofourown]

You're the one talking in puzzles--

[ Oh. Hello, hello. He cocks his head, curious, ] What do you know about Queens?

[persocomforyou]

Chii? [And a head tilt to go with it. That's all she has to say, because that really makes no sense to her. Then again, suddenly being here doesn't make sense, either.]

[worldofourown]

[ He squints into the screen, ]

Excuse me?

[persocomforyou]

Chii? [She squints right back at him.]

Where is Chii?

[worldofourown]

How should I know?!

And who the hell is Chii?

[whenyouneed]

Stop complaining.

[Curt. She's very irritated at this point, the rotundness of her stomach forcing her to slouch in an uncomfortable plastic chair.]

[worldofourown]

[ Aghast, he can only stare for a moment, a cold little shiver of What The Hell? climbing up his scalp, ]

.......Carla?

[whenyouneed]

[She's getting so cranky with people calling her that.]

What of it.

[worldofourown]

You look like you swallowed a watermelon.

[ It's called pregnancy, Karl. ]

[bamfingcats]

[KITTEN. ON YOUR HEAD.]

[worldofourown]

[ YEAAAAAAARGH! ]

[ He jerks mid-rant and tries to swat the cat off. Where did you come from? ]

[bamfingcats]

MEW!!! [WHEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!]

[worldofourown]

Urk -- !

[ Sorry, Kitty. He's not above animal abuse. He grabs the cat and prepares to hurl it an impressive distance away. ]

"Again?" What "again?" You can't just say "again" and expect people to know what the frig you're talking about!

[worldofourown]

Oh dear, you figured it out.

The post was ambiguously worded for my own devious agenda.

[ sssssarcasm ]

[obeymyrod]

Then you obviously want people to ask about it if you left it vague on purpose. Otherwise there's no point in saying it!

[worldofourown]

And lo and behold, you fell for it.

And asked.

[bitchofawitch]

And again, and again, and again!

[worldofourown]

[ Face. Claw. ]

So you're here too.

[nohometown]

Apparently.

[He's not particularly pleased. He was on a mission. He doesn't need this. He has men to lead, towns to destroy.]

[worldofourown]

[ You and him both, Seph. ]

[ Well. Where the destruction is concerned, anyway. ]

My, my. If it isn't everyone's favorite SOLDIER.

[nohometown]

[Shh, he doesn't know about the destruction yet.]

So it is.

[He says this dryly, but he's most people's favorite, especially now that Genesis and Angeal are gone– though that's another matter.]

You're still here, I see. Have you been here all this time?
