[Fourth Wall!]

[thenightmarebegins]

[Vincent had been out early- or more like, late- in the Battle Dome all night, letting his inner 'friends' have some time outside destroying things. So when he finally ends his session and steps outside to walk home... it's suddenly a lot more crowded than it was last night. Are they flooding town with refugees again? Sigh. He's going to attempt to hurry along home before he has to deal with this. All he wants is to get home and sleep...]

AHHHH LU <3 VINCENT IS SO HAPPY NOW

[thenightmarebegins]

[He would know that voice anywhere. He hears her in so many of his dreams, so many nights. Vincent stops, concentrating on listening and hoping that he's not hallucinating. Only one way to find out. He turns around...]

...Lucrecia?

8D she stirred and i had to heed the call

[crescent_falls]

[Lu will finally catch up to him, huffing and puffing. Damn man, you're used to this, she is not!]

Your legs are too long. [Huff, huff.] You almost left me behind!

awww yaaaaay! it's so great to see her!!

[thenightmarebegins]

I apologize.

["I've missed you."]

I wasn't expecting to see you here... Are you well, Lucrecia?

[There's concern in his red eyes, because he knows what the Malnosso are capable of. Vincent has paused for her, and will be taking care to keep his pace at a much slower, saner one.]

i'll backtag on this, I DO WHAT I WANT /armcross

[crescent_falls]

I'm doing well, yes. You seem to be doing well too, considering the circumstances of being here.

["Here" being Luceti, of course. Yay memories of this place?]

I AM PERFECTLY COOL WITH THIS YES XD

[thenightmarebegins]

Then you remember... [He wasn't certain whether she would. And he's realizing how much he missed her.] It's been some time, for me, since you were last here...

[crescent_falls]

Has it? It hasn't seemed so long for me. I guess that's mainly because-- well, let's not talk of that, shall we? Are things all right here?

[thenightmarebegins]

In a manner of speaking... [He glances at her.] You know the ways of this place.

[crescent_falls]

Sadly, yes. I hope their experiments haven't been terrible? I know there were some pretty horrible ones while I was here. Have they gotten better?

[thenightmarebegins]

They're still terrible...

[He sighs.]

But I'll spare you the horrific details. I don't know how long we'll have...

[Something about this feels familiar, though he swears nothing like this kind of visit has ever happened before. Strange.]

[crescent_falls]

Has there been any progress of leaving this place? I would hate for you to be stuck here.

[thenightmarebegins]

None whatsoever. That goal remains as elusive as ever, and their same war still continues.

[crescent_falls]

I'm so sorry. I wish there was more I could do to help. It seems unfair that you have to stay here.

[thenightmarebegins]

It's no less than I deserve.

[Though it's more unfair seeing her and being certain she will return to where she was at home. Woe.]
