057 [ audio & action ]
[Action: Noon, August 21st]
[It's strange to be back so suddenly. One moment he's stuck underground and the next he's waking up, staring up at blue sky and feeling the hot rays of the sun. He's pretty sure he's tanning up here, but it doesn't really matter. It's just nice to see the sun again and feel unrestrained for the first time in so long. After staying like that for a few minutes, he finally sits up and takes stock of where he is.
Which is apparently on top of one of the shops in the town square. Getting down will be problematic.
Before he can call to the people he sees down below, however, he suddenly hears something. The song starts up and keeps playing in the background even as he twists and turns to see where the thing is coming from.]
...I hope I'm not the only one who can hear that.
[Audio]
[In the background, this song can be heard quite noticeably.]
Hm~ I guess it isn't so bad. [He laughs a little.] I've been gone for quite awhile it seems. House 50? How is everyone doing?

action;
The bushes are thankfully soft enough to break his fall (and hopefully thick enough to prevent death via concussion) but Leo gasps when the ladder goes a-clatter onto the ground and-- hurries over to check on Souji. He's not sure where the music is coming from, but he'll be talking louder and hopefully over it!]
Are you-- [alive?] all right?
action;
He laughs.]
Yes, I think I am. Can you help me though?
[He holds a hand out for help out of the tangled mess.]
action;
That being said, he'll oblige and give Souji a hand up.]
Sorry about that.
action;
pulling himself up, Souji dusts himself off.]
Oh, it's quite alright. I'm not hurt. Thank you for getting me off the roof. I think I would have been stuck up there for quite some time if you hadn't come along.

action;
[oh. you mean that thing where the sounds keep changing? You mentioned piano, yeah?]
Not on purpose, no. I'm not quite sure where that is coming from.
action;
[But what could it be, a speaker? A gramaphone? He gives Souji a once-over. Doesn't seem like he's carrying any of that sort, unless it's one of those small modern devices that he's read about in books.]
Was this what you were talking about earlier? About the-- changing.
Re: action;
Yes. It changes quite frequently, but it never seems to go away.
action;
Could it be due to the Malnosso?
action;
[And it changes again.]
....Oh, there it goes.
action;
That must've been unpleasant. I'd hope it doesn't last too long, though. It seems inconvenient.
action;
Mm, it might be, but I might just get used to it. It can't last too long. Most of these things never do.
