Quest 284

[Accidental Voice Post]

--eally isn't proper behavior at all!

[The post, clearly accidental, begins with a feminine voice and a rustle of fabric, accompanied moments later by the sound of wind and water lapping lightly at a shore.]

I know you were only trying to help, and I'm terribly grateful for that, but really, I wasn't in trouble! And, er, 'rescuing' me really only made for more of it, so that wasn't the best of things, either.

[Careful listeners may detect a faint splash, and a very soft, burbling croon.]

Yes, I know. And you are a good boy, and I promise to scream and thrash and make a great fuss if I ever am in trouble, and then I'd be more than happy for the assistance, believe me. It's just that last night wasn't one of them.

[More water, another breath of wind. After a pause, the voice speaks again, and this time it's softer, fonder, with a touch of amusement beneath it.]

...I'm sure it's what Blue would've wanted you to do, though. So I suppose I can't be too upset with you for that.

[Another splash.]

That's right, it's been just us for a whole year now, hasn't it?

[There is one last pause, and then a few faint strains of eerie warbling float past the microphone, almost too quiet to be heard.]

I know. I miss him, too.

[And shortly thereafter, the audio ends.]


[OOC: Ahahaha, okay, so in an effort to fulfill one of my long-term Poly dreams, Cain and Rosella celebrated an anniversary down by the lake last night...which happened to involve some smooching...which in turn happened to cause the friendly baby Cthulhu lake monster, Ellington, to, er, attempt to drown Cain in the lake. SHENANIGANS, HO! More of the story will be coming out via Rosella and Cain in the comments, but that's...pretty much the gist of it. Happy anniversary of your first kiss, Rosella. >>]
