◊ 5th Contract | Video

[substrictus]

Hello~!

[Soon as the feed becomes clear, Oz appears wearing a smile and seeming MUCH more chipper than he had been a few weeks back. Granted his wounds are still healing but he can't keep quiet anymore as he's been rather restless and with things that he's learned, he has to comment on it]

So... This whole dreamwalker training thing sounds kinda neat if you ask me~

[A bright, cheery grin]

...Oh! I'm doing much better than I was last time~. Though i'm really getting tired of just sitting around not doing anything while i'm like this... [He huffs softly and looks away for a moment, putting a hand to his shoulder briefly]

Which reminds me.

I want to learn how to use a sword.

Is there anyone who can teach me~?




Hey.

There's something I need to talk with you about so please get back to me when you can, alright~?

[Noel seems to be doing at lot better too, evident by how she manages to smile sheepishly.]

A sword...? Maybe you could ask Elliot? And maybe once you get the hang of things, we can, um... spar sometime...

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

Ah! That's right~! I should~!

[He beams brightly at her in an attempt to keep the mood uplifted]

I think that would be great! I mean... I could use any help that I can and I bet it'd be fun~

[Well, after thinking about it for a while, Noel realized that sitting around moping isn't going to do any good. Instead of dwelling on the past, she should focus on what she can do now. Even if... while she's here, her real body is going around murdering everything in sight.

Then again... Ragna promised that he'd find a way to stop her, and she felt that she could trust him... So she's trying her best not to think about it, and just continue her daily life in Somarium as Noel Vermillion.]

Then... good luck trying to convince him. Asking him to do anything for anyone is like pulling teeth... but I'm sure he'll relent if you push hard enough.

[Noel gives a bit of an exasperated sigh. She knew this from experience, after all. She frowns as she moves on to a more serious topic:]

Anyway, I know this might not be a good time, but... Could you tell me who did that to you, Oz? [Because there was no way he could have gotten those kind of injuries from an accident.]

[That's enough to earn a soft chuckle from him, tugging at his shirt absently so it covers more of the visible scars. The fun part of being that he'd just come from the shower recently so his shirt had been thrown on haphazardly, the video revealing the healing injuries. His shoulder wound was the one that looked the worst off compared to the healing gashes on his chest.]

That is true~~! He's my best friend so it shouldn't be too hard to convince him~

[A pause and he looks down briefly at the visible, fresh scars, so clear against his chest along with a contract seal emblazoned over his heart]

Eh? Oh.. I think his name was Zion. Not sure if that was his real name or not but that's what he told me it was.


[ooc: sorry for tl;dr-ing on things XD;;]

No worries! I eat tl;dr for breakfast :|b

[Noel's frown deepens as her eyes glance over the injuries that Oz tried to hide. They were pretty bad... Noel had to make sure she found this person, and subdue him. Not only is attacking people like that against the law here, this 'Zion' person had hurt one of Noel's few friends.

... She wouldn't forgive this. Ever. Noel closes her eyes and takes in a deep breath, trying to cool down her sense of anger. Even if what had happened to Oz was terrible, she couldn't lose control again. Without Hazama's presence, Bolverk's magic thankfully helped pull the reigns on her emotions. Noel opens her eyes and gives a nod towards the camera. Though she managed to quell most of her anger, the serious expression remained.]

'Zion'... I see. I'll remember that. May I trouble you for a description of him as well?

8DDDD

[It went unvoiced but the fact she seemed so upset about what happened to him, fingers hesitating briefly as he went about doing up the buttons on his shirt. A part of him even inwardly admitted that it would be nice to see that brat pay for doing what he had to him then.

Rubbing his wrists where there were the faintest hints of pale little scars; another trace left from his time with Zion but he left that unvoiced for the time being]

Aah... he's got short white hair and really weird purple eyes. Not much older than me and he isn't really all that tall either.

[A sheepish smile lingers here]

Sorry if it's not the best description but I hope it helps.

[unsureazure.livejournal.com]

[Noel, more focused than she usually is, nods along as she takes in the information. White hair, violet eyes... And he seemed to be Oz's age? What troubling unchildlike behavior... In a way, it kind of reminded her of Carl. And knowing her past encounters with her former schoolmate, Noel knew she couldn't underestimate this 'Zion' person just because he seemed to be a kid.]

It seems like he'll stand out from a lot of people, though... So thanks, that really is a lot of help. I'm going to be on the lookout for him, so...

[She puts on a sheepish smile, trying to mask her intentions of tracking that boy down and giving him a beating he'll never forget.]

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

[Oz nods at that and for a second he goes quiet before biting his lower lip softly. If she'd asked that then she probably had the intention of going after Zion and he really didn't want her getting hurt because of something that had happened to him.

She was one of his friends and he did not want anything to happen to her, really]

Ah... Noel?

If you plan to go after him... please. Be careful. He can summon and use vines to attack people from nowhere. It's how he subdued me to be able to attack me like he did and...

[A pause lingers here]

He's very nasty with his words too... so he might say some things to you. If he does... don't take any of them to heart, okay? [It's obvious he's had some of what Zion say to him get to his head, but he won't ever voice it]

[unsureazure.livejournal.com]

[... Of course her intentions would be that obvious. Noel's frown returns as she listens to what Oz has to say. Say things to her, huh? What could possibly affect her after Hazama tempered her into the Kusanagi? Still, she nods.]

... Okay, I promise. But please... Don't worry about me, Oz. I'm sure I can handle him just fine, especially since you've told me what so expect. So, um... Thanks.
