[ Upon entry from a number that has been missing from the entire network- both in new entries or replying to other entries -there is nothing but darkness. At first, it might seem like it's an audio, but the screen of the gear is completely black instead it clearly says that it's a video feed. So, perhaps the screen is covered or something. At least the audio is still loud and clear. As proven so, there seems to be a strange tapping sound- the sound of something sharp tapping on a window or glass. This sound continues for another few minutes before finally, the video feed kicks in.

Barely any light shines through the gear and the whole image is grainy, almost as watching a television with the worst reception ever-- well, not that bad, but it's still almost painful just looking at this. The cause of this might possibly have to do with the cracks seen on the screen and that the source of the pecking sound earlier is from a large Skarmory looming over it.

It moves off to the side and the camera on the ground captures the image of someone lying on the ground, facing away with their back's turned. Who might it be, on their sides on this frost-covered floor? Place the clues together:

The number registered to this gear, one Skarmory, a familiar mop of grey hair, perhaps even remembering what clothes this person has been wearing on the day he has disappeared?

Well, if still nothing adds up, the Steel-type Pokemon hops over to its trainer (who looks rather quite dead, just lying there, motionless) and nudges him with its beak. Finally, the person moves a bit and mumbles; ]

Izanagi, not right now...

[ How familiar is that voice? Well, it might not be too easy to tell since it sounds pretty groggy and rather terrible. From looking at the settings, as best one can from a broken screen and this terrible angle, frost seems to cover everything from the walls to the floors. Perhaps even an icicle or two can be seen on screen, but even without those, it will be easy to come to the conclusion that this location is somewhere cold; somewhere called the Ice Path.

The Skarmory lets out a small cry and nudges its trainer once again, in which he actually pushes himself upward a bit with a sigh. ]

What is it, Izanag--

[ And then, Souji Seta notices the Pokegear and the little light to indicate recording is turned on. He stares at it for a second before sitting up properly and reaching over to the gear. He holds it in his hands, cradling it a bit. ]

Thought it was completely broken. Guess it's still something.

[ He coughs a few times, not really bothering to cover his mouth with his sleeve. Feeling just a bit too tired to do anything but just lie around; just like he has done for the past few hours, nodding off a bit, but mainly thinking. Thinking about how being trapped here in the Ice Path is exactly the same as that one time so many months ago. Thinking on how he has been having those strange dreams whenever he has fallen asleep for just an hour. Thinking on how everything about his situation has seemed so much the same, except that this time, he doesn't seem as injured as he does seem sick.

Well, probably getting so little sleep then being thrown into an ice cave didn't help. The way he looks and his raspy voice does seem to indicate it. ]

Souji Seta here. Sorry about disappearing for a while... I'm-- [ --having difficulties with my feelings and conflicting thoughts with everything while my self esteem has taken a hit again-- ] --lost in the Ice Path again.

Not too sure how long it'll take me to get out here. [ 'Not even too sure I've in here between just sitting around and having terrible sleeping patterns'. ] I'll find an exit out soon. [ 'Or sooner or later' ]

[ There's a pause, as if Souji isn't too sure what to say now. Maybe he's just deciding on what to say, how to word it, or maybe he's just not feeling well enough to process things as quickly as usual. ] Has... Has anyone who has been having these dreams have... people "revisit" them? [ He isn't too sure how to properly word it right now, not especially in his condition. ]

[ He lowers the gear, placing his hands in his lap. He then gives a small smile as if everything is alright. ]

Thanks. See you soon.

[ And the feed shuts off! ]


(( ooc: TAGS WILL BE HELD OFF UNTIL... TOMORROW OR LATER SINCE I'M REALLY TIRED. Tags for Layton's entry, I'm apologize, but I'll get to them too with Souji's later! Also, I will still be spreading my love over at that ooc entry I have made and later the love meme! Sorry bros, I'm just... as tired as Souji right now. 8( I think there's a bug going around in my house-- BUT YEAH HAVE AT IT ))
