25th Joke - Laughter Never Dies

[xochipilli_cursed]

[[Aaron snaps out of it as he's doing his homework. Just writing away when suddenly it all rushes back to him.

What... Wait... how long...?

He get's up, feeling a bit out of it. Moving to the phone, calling the town.]]


[Phone | Everyone]

Hello? This is Aaron Taylor... Or whatever my last name is now.

I'm back, I'm not quite sure how long I was gone but I am back.

Ai... are you still out there? Anyone who knew me?

...I'm sorry.


[Action | 1251 Williams Road residents]

[[Aaron is back to his non-drone status and seems to be looking around the house for his things.

Also, maybe to make sure his housemates are still there.]]


[Action | The Streets or the Park]

[[Jogging was good for clearing his head so out he went.

Running down the streets at a pretty good pace. Even making his way through the park just to enjoy the fresh air and feel like himself again.

He wanted to take the time to get reacquainted with himself.]]

Aaron?

[There's disbelief, and then relief, in Nina's voice.]

You're okay!

Phone

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think so.

[[He had enough hang ups on the whole reality thing, a long period of droning never helped. That's an issue for another time though.]]

How long have I been gone?

Aaron!

[A voice calls out, and a familiar little girl is there pointing and staring. She looks like she's going to cry. ]

[Action | The Streets or the Park]

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

It's me! It's me I swear!

[[Not sure if she was outing him for some strange reason, about to fireball him, or just in shock.]]

Wait... don't cry! It's okay!

[flameyedhunter.livejournal.com]

[ Shana doesn't give him a chance to run away. She just sorta steps towards him, then halts, her fist clenching at her chest. ]

So many people are gone.... Kyon is gone now too. Are you back for good this time?

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Aaron...!

Ah, you don't need to apologize or anything! It hasn't been too long. I'm glad to hear from you again.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Lucas?

I am glad to hear your voice.

Not too long?

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

A few weeks. You've been gone since a little after that time when everyone was, um, killing each other, right? Nothing too much happened since then...

Except two days ago.

....Aaron?

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Ai! You don't know how glad I am to hear your voice.

You're still yourself right?

[miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com]

Who else would I be?

[phone]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

A-Aaron!!

[That's all he can say at the moment.]

[phone]

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Crowe!

[[He's excited to hear from his neighbor.

If Crowe fell, that'd be a terrible loss to this town. And a horrible loss of a friend.]]

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

A-Ah, I'm glad to hear you back to yourself. I-I wasn't sure if you were coming back...

[a-crazygirl.livejournal.com]

Hey! You're all right!

...As all right as anybody here can be, I guess!

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Toni!

Glad to hear your voice, I wasn't sure what changed.

[a-crazygirl.livejournal.com]

Thought I was gone, huh? Yeah, I would be so lucky. Did you, uh, 'lose' somebody else?

[ Souji is crashed on the couch, watching some cooking program. He smiles when he sees Aaron. ]

Hey.

[[Cooking programs... drone boys wouldn't watch that.

Souji gets a big grin!]]

Hey!

ACTION - PARK

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

[Mart is once again hanging out in the park in an attempt to clear his head. Not working too well. He's distracted and bumps into Aaron.]

ACTION - PARK

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

[[Equally distracted. They bump, Aaron stumbles and ends up landing on his rear.

Sitting there a moment, looking up at Mart.]]

Ow... sorry about that. I wasn't looking I guess.

Phone

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Aaron? Wow, I was starting to think we lost you for good!

Re: Phone

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

No, not yet anyways. It was a little long this time wasn't it?

[flamesofkaraya.livejournal.com]

[Hugo himself was just quite literally hanging out in the park, still hanging by his arms on one of the trees, half because he still wanted to grow, and half because he was using that time to debate on things. Spotting Aaron jogging (though he didn't recognize him, as they've never spoken in person), caught him attention, and soon enough he drops back to the ground, deciding the idea isn't half-bad and starts jogging a few steps behind him.] Mind if I keep you company?

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

[[Seeing the other. Aaron always liked company when jogging.]]

Sure. Just to warn you, I'm a bit out of it. I just kinda recovered from being brainwashed here.
