H-hey... Hey!

What is this...? S-someone tell me what this is! What's going on here - where's the army?! Konatsu? Konatsu!? W-where... [A shuddering breath, quickly turning into a horrified gasp.]

What are these-

W-wings...? No, wings are... this isn't right! It can't be true, I can't be a-a... I can't be de-de!

This... this is a joke, right? A joke? O-or a bad dream... P-papa's going to wake me up any minute now... and then I'll laugh! Ahaha- ahahaha!

[The hysterical New Feather doesn't even seem to notice the journal.] It's cold... Papa... He's going to come here and make it okay again. Whoever did this will pay,

I'm sure he would. [/SARCASM] There's no way for you to reach him. This place is like another dimension.

[voice]

[acowardlyoak.livejournal.com]

He would for me, at least. [Stop sniping at his Papa. :|] There's got to be a way. And if there's not, he'll notice we're - or at least, I'm, missing and he'll come get us.

[voice]

[hisradiantlight.livejournal.com]

Believe what you will, but I don't think he'll notice you're missing.

[voice]

[acowardlyoak.livejournal.com]

Of course he would!

He's probably worrying right now.

[voice]

[hisradiantlight.livejournal.com]

[S-so stubborn. :/]

It doesn't seem like time passes here. But whatever helps you sleep at night.

[Hey man. You like this Teito kid more, he doesn't seem to hang around his mom much, and it seems a lot of his friends were killed/hospitalized by that prisoner. Daddy's all he's got left.]

How long have you been here?

[voice]

[hisradiantlight.livejournal.com]

[Shuri will soon learn how harsh the real world is~]

Just a few days, but the others have been here longer.

[voice]

[acowardlyoak.livejournal.com]

[You realize the poor idiot's going to break, right?]

What are we expected to do here?

[voice]

[hisradiantlight.livejournal.com]

[The fact that he hasn't broken yet is actually quite impressive.]

Keep yourself busy until they decide to send you back home to papa.

[voice]

[acowardlyoak.livejournal.com]

[That whole Antwort thing might have done a miracle... or he might be on briefly steady ground before he ends up going start raving mad.]

Are you going to come home?

[voice]

[hisradiantlight.livejournal.com]

[Oh dear. Shuri is too unstable as it is. |D His question is a little strange to Hakuren, though.]

"Come home"?

[voice]

[acowardlyoak.livejournal.com]

[Hopefully this will good for him!]

Come back to your family. [He hasn't seen you in a long time and despite Papa telling him that you're a good for nothing and all the like, he wants you to come back and stop 'being a disappointment' and go back to being his useless cousin. It's nice having a member of the family in even lower standing than he is, but you're bad for the family name.]

Uncle will forgive you.

[voice]

[hisradiantlight.livejournal.com]

[... /read that as "Uncle will ignore you." :|;; But what a strange request. If it weren't obvious that Shuri is kind of oblivious to everything, Hakuren would be vaguely insulted.]

I don't want his "forgiveness". I have more important things to be concerned with.

[He's under the impression that all fathers are as wonderful as his, and if they aren't, then divine justice strikes.]

Like what?

[voice]

[hisradiantlight.livejournal.com]

It's none of your business.

[...if only because he feels he'd never understand.]

[voice]

[acowardlyoak.livejournal.com]

Yes, it is. What could you possibly have to do at a church that you couldn't do in the military?

[And you'd be right. Raising children to be closed minded gits - it's easy!]

[voice]

[hisradiantlight.livejournal.com]

If you weren't aware, the church and the military are two completely different things.

[voice]

[acowardlyoak.livejournal.com]

The church doesn't do anything. [OH SO WORDLY, SHURI.]

[voice]

[hisradiantlight.livejournal.com]

[...]

Children shouldn't speak of things they do not understand.

[voice]

[acowardlyoak.livejournal.com]

A church can't protect against invading armies, prayer doesn't do anything, so what else would it do? [Kor and such really don't register with him. Being sheltered is fun!]

[voice]

[hisradiantlight.livejournal.com]

[His patience runs thiiiiiin.]

We can have story time after you've had your nap.

[voice]

[acowardlyoak.livejournal.com]

[YOU WOULD THINK SHURI WOULD KNOW WHEN TO STOP. He's ready to push on ahead with his comments untilll]

Where are you, anyway? [Yeah, this would be good information to know.]

[voice]

[hisradiantlight.livejournal.com]

Somewhere nice and warm, unlike yourself.

[voice]

[acowardlyoak.livejournal.com]

That's not an answer.

[voice]

[hisradiantlight.livejournal.com]

It's a vague answer. But you've made a complete fool of yourself already, why do you think you deserve to get a more specific answer?
