022th Shattering * Audio / Action

[breaks_destiny]

[During the morning there will be an audio message sent through the journals, it's not filtered and everyone can see it, however any attempt to reply to it will be meet with hours and hours of waiting. No, there won't be replies to the audio message. The feed starts with the sound of something falling, the journal, being picked and dropped several

[... Minato, Minato?]

[When he hears that name on the journal, Loki wonders if he is going to need to exorcise the living daylights out of something. He watches the video feed closely for clues, but the trees and sky look just as leafy and blue as they do anywhere in Luceti, so he abandons that venture.

Instead, he grabs his book and journal and leaves the library. He'll head back home early today. It kind of feels like the place to be right now.]

[As Loki is on his way he may hear a call. Or a roar or a sound in general, specifically a sound made by a bear. The animal was on its way to the house as well when it spotted Loki. Have a large brown bear approach you, journal in mouth and sniff at you.]

[action]

[minimonsterdad]

Eh--?!

[Bear. Bear, why you so large. The journal in his mouth suggests that it could be the same one from the broadcast, but. BEAR, WHY YOU COMING SO CLOSE.]

[Loki unconsciously steps away as the bear approaches, assuming the worst. He can't run that fast normally, let alone at bear speed!]

[action]

[breaks_destiny]

[Loki, why you stepping away from the bear? Don't you like carebears? The bear keeps sniffing at you before it makes a calling sound again and tries to nuzzle Loki. Hi Loki, you seem fine, though a bit worried or something.]

[action]

[minimonsterdad]

[This is a trap. This is a trap, isn't it? But since the bear isn't eating him or doing that intimidating standing-on-hind-legs-and-roaring thing that bears tend to do to people, he swallows his trepidation and... stands there. Trying not to get pushed around too much by the nuzzling.]

Ah... ha ha... Have we met? Can you even speak?

[action]

[breaks_destiny]

[Cue bear staring at you for a moment before it starts nuzzling at your hand with the journal in its mouth. Take it, Loki. He can 'speak' but it probably won't serve for much.]

[action]

[minimonsterdad]

Ah. [Okay, why not? He takes the journal, glances at the name written on it, and...]

... Keiichi? [He looks up at the bear. Then down at the journal. Then back up again.]

You didn't... eat him, did you?

[action]

[breaks_destiny]

[The bear makes a disbelieving and offended noise, shaking its head looking really offended before it moves to push Loki a bit. Do you really think he's stupid enough to let a bear eat him??]

[action]

[minimonsterdad]

Uwah. Okay, okay. [Getting pushed around so easily, sob sob.]

It was a more realistic question than "Did you get turned into a bear," you know. Fine. So I'm supposed to assume you're Keiichi?

[action]

[breaks_destiny]

[Yeah, still staring at you Loki. This is Luceti, people turning into things is actually realistic to be considered.]

Malnosso...

[Specially with the Malnosso involved. Anyway he nods at the question, of course he's Keiichi.]

[action]

[minimonsterdad]

[He'd like to cling to some semblance of "normal" reality, thanks.]

So is this just a kidnapping effect? Or is the recent village-wide experiment to blame too? Hm... [Well, you're still a fuzzy animal, so Loki will reflexively reach out to pet you as he thinks.]

[action]

[breaks_destiny]

[He leans in for the petting, making a questioning sound at the mention of the experiment.]

Experiment...?

[Is there one going on? Well... That would explain Ange's thing.]

[action]

[minimonsterdad]

[Aww. He could get used to you like this, Keiichi. Now you get some scratches.]

It seems like people are living in their own strange fantasy worlds... Being compelled to dress strangely and act even stranger. Really, you're one of the saner things I've seen lately.

[action]

[breaks_destiny]

[Well, he can't complain, those things feel really nice in this body. He makes an appreciative sound as he leans to make it even easier for Loki.]

Minato... Minako... Okay...?

[Or are they off in crazy land as well?]

[action]

[minimonsterdad]

[Stay like this forever, Keiichi. Loki obliges, relaxing more fully now that he's getting used to the idea of Keiichi-bear.]

Safe, the last time I saw. But who knows? Maybe they could be running around, trying to find someone to kiss by now...

[action]

[breaks_destiny]

[The idea seems to perturb the animal and he looks around almost as if any of the two would appear from a corner running trying to find a prince or whatever. The animal sighs and nuzzles Loki a bit, nothing can be normal here, can it?]
