voice ;; 0001 ;; mutiny day three ;; after lights are restored

[iciclerain]

[Asch's voice comes over the network, sounding grumpy but calm.] As I'm sure you've noticed, the base's lighting is back on. There shouldn't be any issues, but inform me if there are.

Don't try to approach the maintenance room until things have calmed down. We're staying behind to keep an eye on things, and if you show up unannounced we'll assume you're there to sabotage the system again. [No mention of who 'we' is, of course.]

[ LOCKED to: Neutral/Positive CR ]

None of you have been caught up in this mess, have you?

[iciclerain]

I am.

[There's a pause from Asch, as well.]

Find Tear as soon as you can. She doesn't need to be worrying about you when she's still so busy with everything else.

[Luke reddens a bit, not that Asch can see that. It's all in his tone, though.]

I-I'll go! You don't have to tell me to go to Tear like-- like everyone else does!

[Asch has been upgraded to Permanent Party Member.]

[iciclerain]

[What-- really? There's a pause from Asch before he speaks again, too exasperated to be properly annoyed.] Maybe you should listen to obvious advice if you don't want to hear it all the time. [Seriously, Luke, even Asch knows how simple this should be, and never mind the hypocrisy.]

[chosenfake]

[He makes a sound like 'fffffffffffffff'.] I bet I'd have to be telling you the same thing if Natalia was here.

[iciclerain]

[Good job, Luke. You hit a nerve.] Shut up! This isn't about Natalia!
