I trust much of the panic has settled by now.

There has been a Shift that displaced some of us from our homes this past evening. We should be prepared for the possibility that it will happen again tonight, but in light of the lack of serious injuries it seems the preparations for the festival, and our lives in general, may proceed.

Unless there are other complications from this Shift?

[HI MOM.]

[Ion's been rather mopey, what with Ranka still gone, but yesterday cheered him up a bit and he's finally done sulking in his room like a teenage boy... which he technically is now, but that's besides the point. Nephry might here a slight echo as Ion answers her while walking into the room.]

I certainly hope there aren't anymore complications. Waking up in the home of someone you don't know already sounds rather unpleasant...

[silversnowfall]

[HELLO SON.]

[Nephry looks up and smiles as Ion comes into the room. She heard, from Tear, that he'd been particularly tired the night before, but it's good to see him looking happier again]

I hope so, too. I'm actually quite surprised that we were all here, where we belonged, except for your sister. [meaning his other sister]

[distressedude]

[He returns the smile and sits next to her because he's a momma's boy and needs to spend some quality time with his mommy okay.]

We must have gotten lucky this time around. Hopefully last night will be all we see of this. I'd hate for it to interrupt the festival...

[silversnowfall]

[That's right, Ion has a serious interest in the festival, being as involved with the Church as he is. Nephry just smiles]

The Festival will go on as it always does, no matter how many Shifts try to get in the way.

You sound as busy as ever.

[Voice]

[silversnowfall]

[given that their given name is Balfour (Jade + Nephry > Hakkai), does she call him Hakkai or Cho?]

Good morning. ...You know I prefer to avoid overreactions, if we can.

[subethical.livejournal.com]

I haven't witnessed any other alterations as of yet. [Big bro has been keeping his eyes peeled, as usual.]

Although, if our homes are going to continue to be involved in an extensional game of musical chairs, it would perhaps be wise to move some preparations outdoors. [Because this festival is so important to you, sister, for some reason.]

[silversnowfall]

[It's important to her because it is important to her children, and because Saphir is designing several pieces of machinery for it. Because it is important to the village. ...You know she's like that.]

If you would like to inform everyone of that, please feel free.

...And if you happen to see Liz, I would appreciate it if you asked her to come home, just to check in.

[distressedude]

I know it will, but... [He sighs a little bit. It's not like him to be so negative, but his mood has taken a bit of a nose dive. What if Ranka wasn't back in time for the Festival? What if she didn't come back at all...?]

[He shakes his head and tries to laugh off his concern. He doesn't need to make Mom worry!]

...I'm sorry, I'm probably just thinking about it too much.

[Voice]

[eternallysinned.livejournal.com]

With such an active crowd, that would be the desired motion.

[silversnowfall]

[a gentle hand on his shoulder]

It's important to you.

[Voice]

[silversnowfall]

Did you wake up somewhere strange this morning?

[subethical.livejournal.com]

[He knows very well how you are sister, understanding it on the other hand...]

It might be wise to wait it out until this evening. No need to waste our energy if this has been the extent of the shift.

...Lizzy is still unaccounted for? Have you checked in with Hakkai?

[Voice]

[eternallysinned.livejournal.com]

Things did appear rather off this morning when I awoke.

Lizzie wasn't around either. Have you seen her?

[silversnowfall]

Not yet, but I will.

...Try not to cause any extra chaos, Jade.

[Voice]

[silversnowfall]

No, and I was about to ask you the same thing.

[Voice]

[eternallysinned.livejournal.com]

I see. What of Jade? Does he know?

[Voice]

[silversnowfall]

He suggested I ask you.

I'm sure she's fine.

[subethical.livejournal.com]

Good. I trust you'll inform me when she's been found?

Chaos? Now dear sister, I wouldn't dream of it!

[silversnowfall]

Of course I will.

[sigh, rub forehead] That tone is never a good sign.

[Voice]

[eternallysinned.livejournal.com]

...You're probably right.

[subethical.livejournal.com]

Tone? Frankly, I have no idea what you mean. [/SHRUG.]

Speaking of which, have all of your children been accounted for as well? [You two, this is why Jade steals his nieces and nephew all the time. It's easier to track them down that way.]

[silversnowfall]

[You need to stop stealing the children.]

Two of mine have. [obviously, since she just asked you about her third.]

[distressedude]

[He slowly shakes his head again.] It is, but that's because it's so important to everyone else as well. Everybody has put so much work into preparations so far...

[And Ion too, which is probably why he was so tired the night before. Your son is a workaholic, Nephry. He takes after his father.]

[silversnowfall]

[in real life his mother is something of a workaholic too.]

And so far, nothing has changed.

...But I want you to stay here and rest today, Ion.
