[If you think Youji looks out of place sitting in a field of grass, you're right. As he turns on his Dreamberry, he can be heard muttering things about grass stains and his gratitude that his expensive Armani slacks are not here if one listens carefully.

Slightly easier to perceive is the brief look of surprise on his face, as he sees the date. He shakes his head and gives the camera a lightly wry smile.]

Does anyone ever get tired of hearing 'I've been asleep for a week, what did I miss?' Permit me to shake things up a bit. Last I knew, it was February, and I was in my apartment. Now it's June, and I'm in the middle of the field.

I've lost nights before, but this is pushing it just a bit.

[He smiles genially.]

A lesser man would probably give up drinking at this turn of events, but thankfully, I'm not that fragile.

[Private to Weiss]

I don't expect explanations, but something cold and stiff would be appreciated. And nothing work related is meant by that.

[FILTERED FROM: Alice & other children]

Not that I object to staying in bed for two weeks, but some company might have improved the experience.

[End Filter]

Did anything exciting happen while I was asleep?

Warnings: Murder by strangulation, one swear word.

“Not again.”

Youji sat up tiredly, feeling his throat. It was particularly raw; he wondered if he’d screamed out loud in his sleep. Certainly felt like it, but he couldn’t help smiling. He knew the dream, but he’d never had it two nights in a row before.

“I knew you hadn’t left me, Asuka,” he whispered, his smile tired and bitter. His head turned towards the far wall.

“Of course not,” Asuka said sadly. Sadly, but smiling. “You never really wanted me to.”



[OOC: Text in this color represents Youji's hallucinations. Asuka's ghost is a figment of Youji's imagination; her actions and dialogue are included because a) this is third-limited from Youji's POV and b) for mun reference. If your character can see or hear Asuka, something is very, very wrong with them. =D]
