[betrayedblade]

[Giovanni is too busy lugging around an unconscious Eald'narche to do much more than get the communicator on and recording his voice.]

Maria, I could use your help. There is something wrong with Eald'narche. He is fine but... I need you to look after him.

Gohl. Everyone in Gohl. I want you to come home immediately if you are not already. Meet in

That is what Eald'narche described them as. [He confirms as Astro enters. He eyes the bandage but can tell it isn't from the past hour or so at the least and promptly ignores it.] I did not see one still in his room, however, so that is all I have to go by.

[betrayedblade]

No. And I doubt the scientists will enlighten us anytime soon but I wouldn't be surprised if this has something to do with them. Or that they, at the least, know what is going on.

[That leaves a sour taste in his mouth.]

I want everyone in sight and safe. If they invade Gohl we'll simply move--that will be easier to accomplish if everyone is in one spot. [He shakes his head.] Hopefully it won't come to that. And I don't know how long it'll last but...

[Geez, why is he saying this to the kid. Never mind. He trails off and turns his attention back to the unconscious Eald'narche.]

[eroslegy]

I have not been seeing fish.

[betrayedblade]

Neither have I. But that does little to explain what happened to Eald'narche.

[eroslegy]

I have not been seeing anysing. Vat is going on?

[betrayedblade]

I'm not entirely sure. But I plan on getting to the bottom of it.

[princessofmoe]

...Ealdy? What happened to him?! I know he was complaining about a headache... [But she cut off the transmission too quickly to know he suddenly fell into a deep sleep full of nightmares.]

[betrayedblade]

Yes, and then he passed out. He's healthy otherwise just...

[princessofmoe]

He also mentioned the jellyfish, but I don't see them around here. Are they only around Gohl?

[betrayedblade]

I am not certain. I have not seen any myself.

[betrayedblade]

[Giovanni hasn't seen any himself (and isn't likely to any time soon either) but that's what he's looking for. Because Eald does not exaggerate these sorts of things. At least not anymore.

He spots Petruccio as he enters from the stairwell and though he wants to smile or reassure his son, he can manage neither gesture in the state is he is at the moment. Instead, he feels sadness for the loss of this and glances back down at Eald'narche's form, where he's taken up a sort of guardian position as he keeps an eye on the room.]

[is_the_eldest]

Jellyfish?

[What are those? But yes, he's on his way. Someone was most likely at Latimir, his new favorite place to be. So eventually have your 'eldest' running in looking confused at the sight of Eald and his father as they are.]

What happened? What is happening, papa? [His father had mentioned attacks, so... there were things attacking them? He'd seen nothing on the way, which was nice really. No fish of any sort. Though he didn't expect them since they would be in the water after all.]

[betrayedblade]

He reported being stung by a jellyfish and then passed out. I cannot wake him no matter what I do.

[He glances down at Eald and back up at his eldest son again.]

I am not entirely certain other than that, but it is a situation I am not taking lightly.

[is_the_eldest]

[He'll get down on one knee beside Eald, worried, but is soothed somewhat by seeing that he still breathes. Still, not being able to wake him? What did these.. fish things do to cause that?]

Do we know what these things look like? What... exactly is a jellyfish? [A fish obviously, but that tells little besides that.]

[betrayedblade]

It doesn't actually look like a fish. Jelly, I can see...

[He grabs for his communicator and searches through old video posts for one in particular. It was through this device that he had learned about them first himself. He shows Federico a paused image of a jellyfish.]

That is what they look like specifically.
