meritocracy | ♔third decree {video}

[Natalia is in House 1, looking like she's placing what appears to be arrows into a quiver and dressed not as formally. To be honest she looks a bit distressed, her brows furrow. With a little 'mph' she stops what she's doing and stares into the screen, both frustrated and concerned all at once.]

I suppose this is a moot thing to ask but is there anyone who has not entirely lost their wits about them? Anyone at all? People from Auldrant--those of you I've seen--[she looks pretty disturbed] --or wherever you claim to be from, if I am still someone you recognize, please respond. ~~So I can know how to keep you away from people if need be..~~

To those that are still..'normal', can we not discuss the situation? I demand to know what has been done to those I care for. I find it very..--disturbing. And concerning, obviously. ~~Mostly..very disturbing.~~

[she puts the quiver on her back and huffs, grabbing the fancy-looking bow on the table of the kitchen area, all but stomping out with her device in her other hand.]

Honestly, Luceti! I've no idea what to do with you in times like this!

... You're Natalia, right? [Unfortunately he doesn't know much more than that.]

..I see. So you're also affected.

And again, how do you know you're not the one who's affected?

I doubt any answer I would give you would convince you or myself that I wasn't or you were.

Tell me, are you safe?

... Yes. [He says it flatly, albeit hesitation. Honestly, Luke never really feels safe. But this is the best he can get right now.]

..Then I'm glad. Please take care of yourself, Luke.

Mm.

...

Thanks...

[There's that odd... twinge again. That unpleasant feeling his his chest, the same one that he felt when Guy got fed up with him. What was it...?

It's not important. Not to someone who can't feel anything.]
