[ this is wrong. something is wrong. ada is one of the last people he'd think to hear sound like this, honestly. cool and collected is what she seemed to do best. ]
Back up there. Who are you saying is gone?
[ he can think of one person but... best to get a clarification. ]
[ in some other time, she would have been embarrassed by her inability to keep it together.
not now though. she's surprised, but relieved, that yuri of all people is contacting her in this moment. for him, she tries to compose herself, trying to sound coherent, before answering. ]
It's Eve. My sister. She-
She's not responding to me anymore. I don't think she's waking up.
[ Eve? Didn't he just see her the other day? he can tell that ada is trying to compose herself but he's not going to speak a word of that. there's more pressing issues at hand.
if ada doesn't think she's waking up then-- ]
Shit. You don't think she's stuck in the Dreamscape, do you?
[ again she stops herself, this time trying to find a way to put the situation into words that won't tip him off to her and eve's… condition.
god. it's sometimes so frustrating to find a way to explain around the both of them at times. especially during matters like these. she wants to tell him the truth to make it easier for both of them but eve isn't here to give her consent and ada doesn't want to betray her. not again. ] I saw it.\
The last thing I saw before I pulled myself out was her running away.
[ running deeper into the damn landscape. ] Has this happened before?
[ admittedly he isn't one that has really looking into the dreamscape. the people who would likely know more would be people like mikleo or sorey. those who have been here longer and have ventured into the dreamscape far more times than he has. probing into such things and his own mind as a result wasn't exactly his own idea of fun??? ]
You think something might have spooked her?
[ there's monsters in the dreamscape, aren't there. maybe that's the cause of her disappearance. but he doesn't want to assume anything like that. there has to be some reason why she ran away though. ]
the answer is so simple and so complicated at the same time. yuri was right after all. there had been something that spooked her off. ]
Yes. That much is true.
She- She found herself and- [ there she goes again, rushing ahead without explaining herself. it's what landed her in this situation in the first place. sputtering out the first thing that came to mind while eve was upset and panicked.
she dials it back and tries to go at it from another angle. mainly in the form of her trying to think of a proper landing point to explain why eve of all people would run away into the forsaken dreamscape. ]
Do you remember the post I made at the start of the month? Asking about Kyaak's Disease?
[ good thing ada dialed back on that because yuri wouldn't have known what to think about 'she found herself'. he takes a moment to remember the post that she made the month prior.
the one about the disease and her attempt to also throw in the weather. oh yeah. ]
Yeah. Something about metallic objects tearing the body apart from the inside, wasn't it?
[ they didn't talk about the disease itself but he remembers reading it. whether or not he remembered it correctly though he isn't sure
but even if he isn't right it's a disease of some sort. it's kinda alarming that ada would be asking about that when they're talking about eve. ]
I asked because Eve had it before we came here. [ now that was going to raise a lot of questions down the line. understandably so. how did eve get in the first place? how did she recover from it? how does she look so normal considering what it does to the person afflicted with it.
those are all good questions, really, and one day she'll explain it in detail. for now she just had to explain why eve was so upset. ]
In the dreamscape, she found me speaking to a version of herself that was heavily afflicted by it and it showed in both demeanour and appearance. She thought that's how I always viewed her so… yeah.
[ it will. but right now it's the time to ask about those questions. though it might explain why eve has been feeling unwell since arriving here? hope it doesn't mean anything more than that. is this disease something someone can get again.
again... questions to ask later. the priority here right now is eve and where she's gone. ]
Sounds like the dreamscape did a lovely job scaring your sister. Though I wouldn't personally run off into the same dreamscape to clear my head.
I tried to follow her but then that thing kept following me around. [ 'that thing' she describes being, no doubt, the sickly and distorted version of eve before their arrival.
it might not be the best idea to have that spectre around her with an agitated eve. ]
I know this is a lot to ask but could you help me search for her there? Two heads are better than one and maybe it's for the best that people don't go there by themselves.
… Please? [ with anyone else, she would be pulling her teeth first before admitting she needed help - especially in scouting, the one thing she was trained to do - but with yuri? she trusted him enough to reach out for help, to acknowledge that this is not an easy feat to do alone. ]
[ Ada doesn't have to tell Yuri what it was. A simple connect the dots and he gets the idea. Otherwise Ada might have fought the thing to get it from following her. ]
Sure thing. Just let me know when you're planning on going. I'll be sure to be there when you do.
[ there's no hesitation in his tone. of course he'd be willing to do with Ada despite what he may see. finding her sister is far more important. ]
Thank you. [ ada sounds so defeated yet relieved to hear this, feeling like that maybe, just maybe, that there is a chance to get eve back. not right away but there's a chance now. that's all that matters if, at the end, eve returns.
it's definitely enough for her to feel like she's not going to crawl up walls any second now. ]
