[Angeal is recovering nicely, much to Zack's insistence that he not do anything. However, he has opted to keep his post to just voice- There are still bandages needed for his back, over where the wound from his wing is, would be something he isn't intrested in talking about, at least right now.]

Wonderland, huh? This is quite the place. I suppose to many, this place has taken them away from their homes. [A pause, and he seems to consider how to put this delicately, the right way.] But to others, like myself it is a second chance of sorts. Another chance to make things right, another chance at life...

[He chuckles, a soft noise as a smile catches on his face, small but genuine.] A chance to get some sense of penance, to start over, and do the right thing.

[Now that he is convinced that it could be possible, even for a monster like him. If the others could find it in them to forgive him, then perhaps he may be able to find it for himself.]

But for the others... why do you want to go back? What is waiting for you? And most importantly of all, how can I start to help?

[After checking with Zack for a brief moment to make sure that these devices worked much like their phones, he composes a few private messages to send out to a few people he really needed to reach out to.]

[Genesis:]
I know you are here, don't shut me out.

[This one takes even longer to write out, considering that the only thing that keeps coming to his mind is 'I'm sorry'- A sentiment that is not meant for a simple text.]

[Sephrioth:]
Can we talk? Zack might let me up for longer than a few minutes now.

[Angeal's voice isn't as much of a surprise to hear as Zack's had been, but it still catches the 2nd Class SOLDIER off guard, still leaves him speechless for longer than he would like. And that, of course, is the reason behind the hours and minutes that pass before he responds, not to mention the reason he chooses to respond via text rather than audio.]

[Even when he begins typing, he's not certain of what to say much less what he is saying. He just knows that he has to say something before too much time passes and the opportunity is missed. Or he blinks and realizes this is all some kind of cruel apparition.]

You're here. That in itself is a great place
to start. I think it helps a lot more than you
realize, or it will with time.

[He stares at that for a while. It seems terribly short, but sentiments like, 'I've missed you' and 'I'm glad we're all reunited again' seem better left coming from Zack, if they should come from anyone at all. After all, Kunsel was never as close to Angeal as he would have liked to have been. He mostly admired the 1st Class SOLDIER from afar. And so, it continues to feel like the appropriate thing to do.]

[He sends his short message and...sits back and waits.]

Kunsel? So you are here as well.

[Small world, huh? Angeal can't help but smile from where he is.]

It seems all of the good parts of home have made it here. I for one, really do not mind.

[Good parts of home, huh? Angeal, you big sap. But...Kunsel feels the same way.]

There's nowhere else for me to be. I mean, who
else is going to keep everybody up-to-date with
all the latest news about Wonderland's goings
on? I belong right here, with you guys. Besides,
you know Zack and his one-track mind. He
needs me around to keep him focused and well
informed!

[Yes he is the biggest sap, no matter how hard he tries to hide it.]

Exactly, what would we do without you? Zack most of all. [He can't help but be amused, really.] But beside that, how are you holding up?

The obvious answer is go crazy with longing.
Obviously. Because you would miss me that much.
Zack most of all.
...
Heh, I'm holding up! It's strange trying to get
used to this place, but I've established that
the fewer expectations I have, the easier it is
to adjust.
Hey, have you talked to everyone else? There's
a whole bunch of us here.

Hah, yes you seem to know us well. Especially Zack; He will get lonely and longing like a left at home puppy.

[Not really he's just poking fun at the other, but it is amusing all the same.]

I haven't seen everyone yet, but I am hoping to fix that soon. But on that subject, you have not happened to of heard from Genesis, have you Kunsel?

Edited 2013-07-11 02:29 (UTC)

Correction: like a lonely and longing puppy with
a big swishy tail and big pointy ears.
...
Genesis? No, I haven't. He's here, but I haven't
had the chance to speak with him, not yet. Was
there a message you wanted me to pass along if I
see him, Angeal?

[Okay, he laughed a little at that.]

You know him well! Not a message- I need to speak with him in person myself. But if you do happen to see him, or find out anything about where his room might be, I would like it if you would let me know.

[He won't make it an order. Angeal does not hold that kind of position anymore.]

Better than almost anyone. Well, except you,
probably.

[There is a brief pause and then, following that message, Kunsel sends:]

I'll be on the look out, sir. And if I find
out anything, you'll be the first to know.

[Position or no, Kunsel will treat it like an order.]

Well, you know how Zack is, he shares with everyone. I really appreciate it, Kunsel. The sooner I can talk to him, the better.

[When he does finally see the SOLDIER Second, he will have to thank him properly.]

[Zack bottles up a lot, surprisingly, but Kunsel doesn't think this is the time or place to talk about that, so he just agrees for the sake of agreeing.]

One of the nicest guys I know, that's for sure!
And hey, I'm happy to help. Consider me on the
job until he's spotted, and then I'll have word
back to you, pronto. Until then, sir.

Until then. Though feel free to call on me if you need so, SOLDIER.

Likewise! If anything else comes up that you
need help with, sir, just give me a call.
