selphie_t | Twelfth Draw = Something's not quite right [Accidental Voice]

[So after three days of trying to convince the clinic staff that she was fine, Selphie was finally released from the coop! It took her longer than usual to get back to the apartment in Community Housing 3 and even longer to make it to the third floor. By the time Selphie makes it to the door, she's fumbling with the keys before she opens the doors and tries to sneak in as quietly as possible. The perky brunette can't hold in the sneeze from the dust that's been collecting on the furniture.

That's odd... the place is usually spotless. Selphie swallows nervously before calling out. She places her journal and a bag with her ruined clothes on the table.]

Quisty? You home?

[Selphie's footsteps echo throughout the empty apartment before she throws open the door to Quistis' room and finds it empty of its contents including one of her best friends. There's a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach that won't go away.]

If this is a joke, it's not funny... and so not your style.

Quisty?

[Selphie looks up and sees that her journal's open and quickly slams the book shut, promptly ending the feed.]

[Looking over her shoulder, Selphie sees a Lady that she doesn't recognize. There's a questioning look in her eyes before Selphie's making her way over to Raine.]

Can I help you?

[For a moment she's uncertain if she has the right building, but-] ... I was looking for Quistis. She wasn't at the school today, so I was hoping that nothing was wrong.

[Selphie studies the woman for a few moments before taking in a deep breath. It appears that the perky brunette will have to break the news to everybody.]

Her room is empty.

[Raine studies the younger woman patiently while waiting for a response. When it comes, she lowers her eyes once more.]

... I see. You're her friend Selphie, aren't you? I'm sorry.

[Selphie smiles sadly at Raine as her arms fold across her chest.]

It's nice to meet you although I wish it were under better circumstances.

... Indeed.

It's nice to meet you as well... my name is Raine Sage.

[Change of subject... go! Somebody needs a distraction.]

It sure got dusty in here...

Were you not here for some time? I last saw her on Thursday...

Sorry... I was one of the ones that got attacked in the plaza last tuesday and I was in the clinic ever since.

I see... [She frowns a little.] Are you certain you should be up and around yet?

[At that, Selphie pulls at a chair from the kitchen table and sits down.]

I'll go to bed soon. The doctor at the clinic said it was fine as long as I took it easy and I got a pretty good healing. I'll be okay, really!

... All right. Is there something I could do?

[Selphie considers that for a few moments before slowly shaking her head.]

I think I'll be okay for the moment. If I need anything, I'll be sure to ask.
