002=VIDEO [ forward dated to March 10th ]
[ It's an evening like any other since the beginning of the blackout ─ since the last rays of sunshine have disappeared behind the horizon already, there are few people left on the streets, whatever little light there is still around coming mostly from candles in the nearby windows and an occasional brazier a person or two may stop by to warm up on their way home.
Even so, it shouldn't be difficult for anyone familiar with Aldrip to recognize the area shown in the video feed despite the surrounding darkness ─ and that's doubly true for those who have been through their "sentencing". The building displayed is, without any doubt, the City Hall, the very same where the Council (supposedly) dwells and casts their judgement upon the Chosen. The person filming this, whoever they are, approaches the main entry to the building before stopping right before its doors. They reach out to it, but instead of placing their hand on the knob as some might have assumed, they press their palm against the surface of the door instead. It's at this point that the mysterious figure speaks up, and those who know him will surely have no trouble realizing who it is. ]
... Restriction 666 released, dimensional interference field deployed.
[ Multiple elaborate magic circles start appearing from beneath his hand, their blue light illuminating the area and making it easier to see for those who haven't recognized the place yet. Paying them no mind, the voice continues: ]
IDEA Engine, linked. BlazBlue... activate.
[ An ornate crest flashes in front of him, and then the screen is filled with blinding light. What follows is a loud sound of an explosion, but it doesn't come just from the recording ─ no, anyone in Aldrip will probably be able to hear the almost deafening, sharp noise. The whole thing only lasts seconds, probably, but it might feel like it takes longer than that for the light to finally fade ─ and once it does, the area is completely unrecognizable. Where the City Hall stood just moments ago, there is nothing but a sea of fire and rubble. Surely, there are screams, too, and people rushing in to see what was the cause of the explosion ─ but their voices are drowned out by the sound of falling rocks and crackling fire.
Finally, Ragna turns the charm to face him, appearing completely unfazed like he didn't just raze a building to the ground. ]
The sentencing's been called off. I'm done playing their games.

I guess.
[ He's not about to refute that, but the halfhearted tone makes it clear he doesn't understand Sha-Ming's warning. ]
no subject
Listen, kid. Things are gonna get ugly. No way shit isn't hitting the fan after this -- I'm glad they got their dues and all, but people might die for this, and that's bein' generous.
If you've got anyone here you can rely on, go to them while you still can. I mean it.
no subject
Okay.
[ "If you've got anyone here you can rely on, go to them while you still can," he says. Well... about that. ]
...is that what you're going to do?
[ There's no need to bring up that there isn't anyone who fits the criteria Sha-Ming's outlined for him. ]
no subject
[ said very simply! ]
I'm probably just gonna hide somewhere until this blows over. Maybe the forest? Might be a good time to skip town.
no subject
Good luck then.
[ A pause. ]
Can I come too?
no subject
...Sorry, kid. I think I'd just bog you down.
[ somehow, something about the way he says that is pitifully earnest. ]
...You really got nowhere else to go?
no subject
Okay, I'll find something.
[ At least he's confident in his ability to figure something out. ]
Maybe the farmhouse. ...the animals there are nice.
[ If it really is over for all of them, he can at least hang out with the chickens before whatever it is that's going to hit them. ]
no subject
[ what is wrong with this kid... ugh... FINE... WHATEVER... ]
Pack yer stuff up in the next 30 minutes. Can't guarantee any exits won't be blocked off, but it's worth a shot.
no subject
Oh. ...okay, I don't have too many things. It won't be too hard to move them to the farm.
[ He's completely misunderstood the assignment Sha-Ming's given him. ]
no subject
no subject
Really?
[ Genuine surprise here, given it really was fine that Sha-Ming intended to go on his own. ]
...I thought you said no?
no subject
[ STOP... HE'S EMBARASSED... ]
no subject
He supposes people can change their minds. ]
I'll go.
[ Especially if he's being invited... ]
I'll start packing then. ...thanks, Mister.
[ Congrats on your new nickname Sha-Ming. ]
no subject
[ GOSH. ]
Knock on my door when you're ready. I'm not gonna wait for you, so make sure you're on time!
no subject
See you soon then, Sha-Ming.
[ The desire to call him Mister Sha-Ming... He'll behave though. ]
