🍭 voice / action for shehui roommates

[pigii]

[ unfortunately, this wholly accidental broadcast of thoughts isn't a very pleasant one. around midday, while the interrogations are still taking place, the sounds of a young girl's sobs are transmitted through the signet's telepathy. those who have interacted with ruby are likely to recognize her voice, but you don't need to know that much to understand that something bad has happened. ]

I'm so sorry... I didn't mean to tell...
 
[ the apology is repeated intermittently between her sobs. she doesn't seem to be very consolable... with what's been going on today, it might be obvious as to what she's talking about. for roommates, the door to the room that she's being interrogated in bursts open as her outward sobs can be heard, but only the monitor seems to be visibly there.  ]

Ruby... it's not your fault.

[She knows her younger sister and she knows that Ruby would never endanger the coven or anyone on purpose.]

[pigii]

It is my fault!

[ this would probably be better if dia were physically with her, but that unfortunately isn't possible. it makes ruby all near inconsolable - she'll likely keep crying until there's nothing left. ]

If I could control my magic better, everything would be okay...

[idolpedia]

It isn't your fault you were intimidated. So stop thinking that!

[Dia wonders if she came off a little harsh there. Probably? Good job Dia.]

I apologize, Ruby. I shouldn't have raised my voice. When this is over I'll come straight to you. If only I could now...

[pigii]

[ she squeaks when dia raises her voice - it's been some time since she's heard that. she isn't scared of her sister, but she can be pretty intimidating when she's trying to make a point. ]

I-It's okay. Thanks, sis...

[ her thanks is genuine, but her voice seems to still be wavering. ]

I miss you...

[idolpedia]

I miss you too, Ruby. You can stay the night in my room once this is all over. We can go get something to eat too?

[And with more concern in her voice than anything.]

Take a deep breath.

[pigii]

[ oh... that sounds really good. she sniffles, with only her imagination and dia's voice to comfort her as she takes a breath. ]

Can we get some sweet potato french fries?

[idolpedia]

We can invite Chika-san and Riko-san too. Wouldn't it be fun to get a mountain of sweet potato french fries and share them with our friends?

[Yeah Dia, you definitely got this. No more getting frustrated and nearly yelling at your poor scared sister.

...if only Ruby could see the look of concern and worry on Dia's face right now.]

[pigii]

Mm. That sounds really fun.

[ it's a little weak, but her affirmation is genuine. food always tastes better with friends, and eating her favourite means that it'll taste even better. she just has to hold on for a little while... ]

Did you talk to the others?

[idolpedia]

[Oh shit. In this aftermath, she uh, forgot to contact the other two. What a good friend you are Dia.]

I haven't yet. I will soon, I promise.
