[the_word_is]

I'm back. Are you okay?

voice;

[bladeisme]

[Back-

...oh.

Failed again.]

I'm...okay, I guess.

[He's really, really not. Not after what happened before...]

Are you?

[the_word_is]

I'm fine. I wasn't here for any of last month.

Are you in Northtown?

[bladeisme]

Yeah. I moved houses, but I'm still here.

[At least she didn't die. Again.]

Do you need to get brought up to speed, or anything?

[the_word_is]

I'm on my way.

What happened to the forest? We're all going to freeze next winter.

[bladeisme]

[He'll just give her directions, then.]

It burnt down. Random wildfire, I think.

[the_word_is]

shit.

[She barely survived last winter, huddled up in as many layers as she could find, constantly keeping the fire going while frost crept up the inside of windowpanes, slowly starving. Now there won't be enough wood for fires.]

is everyone okay?

["Everyone" just means Ichigo, Rin, Yukio. It's a small definition.]

[bladeisme]

[Trust him, he's already thinking of that. This winter seems like it's going to be just as hard as the last, and he's not looking forward to it at all.]

Everyone's alright. The hotel burned down, but...

[They're alive, if left with a destitute landscape.]

[the_word_is]

[She's getting scared, thinking about the winter. She's from Nevada, from the middle of the desert, and it might get cold there sometimes but not cold, not like the Box at all.]

good. im glad.

[bladeisme]

Yeah. Me too.

[Ah. He should probably mention something, shouldn't he?]

...I don't live with Rin and the rest anymore, by the way.

[the_word_is]

[And of course, she thinks the worst happened. There was a fight, and Rin threw Ichigo out, or Ichigo stormed off in a huff and just never went back.]

what happened?

[bladeisme]

Nothing really big. The place was getting crowded, so I figured it was time to move out. Plus, my twin brother came here-and he's a big enough idiot to get himself killed if I'm not looking after him.

[...Ichigo, pot calling the kettle black. just saying.]

[the_word_is]

I want to meet him!

[bladeisme]

huh? Sure, I guess you can. He's nothing like me, though-he's a pervert to the core.

[the_word_is]

Perverts don't notice me. My chest is too flat.
