ϡ - Chapter TwentySix; And now for something not so different [voice/action]

[folkloristic]

[ There's a loud splash as someone gets dropped off by the droids...in the river by House 35. The figure that steps out from the embankment is not a familiar face. Most people might not recognize him or perhaps you saw him like this once before. But that's neither here, nor there. Yes, her. The voice over the transmission is completely feminine and

[Giles is nearby enough to hear the splash of someone being cruelly deposited in the river. Seeing as how he's on hyperalert for Helios or Buffy, this is his cue to spring into action.

So, as the droids are just tromping away over the horizon, he stumbles to a stop on the edge of the river, looking around wildly.]

Hello? Is someone there? Buffy?

((ooc: Soooo the next time I suggest writing an entry for you, clearly the only reasonably course of action is to virtually smack me *cries*. So glad you went with her, though, I was so bummed that I couldn't participate last time around!

Set during evening patrol?))

[magicboobs]

[ Oh good lord. Giles. So not the person he wanted to encounter right now. ] Ah...n-no. It's just, me, G-Giles.

[ There's some sloshing as Helios makes his way back towards the riverbank. There's a slightly familiar Romanian accent to the voice. Probably the only hinting factor to who it might be. Have so tired sighing too. ]

((ooc; fff it's okay! And that's fine~))

[...hello, strange woman tripping her own two feet.

...hello, strange woman with a Romanian accent tripping over her own two feet.

...wait, wait, seriously, wait, he knows this one...]

...h-hello?

[magicboobs]

[ Giles why are you not...no nevermind. He can't expect you to get it right away. Helios doesn't even get it sometimes. Another sigh as he runs a hand through extra long blonde hair. ]

Helios. It's...me. [ There, said it. And he looks positively mortified and embarrassed and...ah. Just...looking at the ground now. ] The M-Malnosso really are-are terrible when it comes to these effects.

(OOC: ... Probably set after the thread with Giles? 8D?)

[Robert has never heard this voice before. But he has heard a voice like it. The Romanian accent isn't one he hears often in Luceti, and being on hyper-alert for anything like Helios - well, he notices these things.

So, despite the clearly feminine slant to the voice, he filters this, and ventures, cautiously:]

... Helios...?

[He does, after all, remember hearing from Frederic that something like this happened once before.]

[magicboobs]

[ ahfahe Robert. Not you too. Oh gosh, give him a second. ] R-Robert? You, you knew it was me?

[ Why Frederic ever told you about that he'll never understand, ahh. ]

[semper_cogitans]

[Oh, hey! So he wasn't horrendously wrong.]

... Well, not knew. But I have never heard anybody else with... that accent you have, and I heard from Mr. Chopin once that... that this had happened to you before.

[Peering curiously into the viewscreen - Helios certainly looks different - Robert blinks a bit in surprise.]

This is... fascinating.

[magicboobs]

Ah. W-well that's true. I don't know too many people from Romania here. [ Hm. ] H-he told you about that?!

[ Oh god he's so embarrassed, why, Frederic why. ]

I-I'm not so sure it's fascinating. B-But um, perhaps I should be grateful for the Malnosso's lack of creativity this time.

[shadedsunlight]

[...Hm. The accent sounds oddly familiar. Certainly not New Feather season and the person seems familiar enough with the place...]

Is everything all right there?

[Voice]

[magicboobs]

[ Ahh what does that even say? Curse this death penalty, curse it. ]

Ah. I-I'm sorry. I can't exactly read that the moment. [ Wait...this is familiar. One person who writes all the time...not sure though. ]

[shadedsunlight]

[Can't read... Romanian accent...

...Dear god.

Ginia quickly angles her journal and turns on the video feed so she can sign at... well, taking a stab there, but.]

/Helios? Is that you?/

[Video]

[magicboobs]

[ Heliso turns on the journal much to his unamused chagrin. There's a blonde haired woman staring back, a slight pout on her features. He nods sighing a little. ] Y-Yes it's, it's me.

Are you...doing better? [ Best way to not make a situation more awkward is to deflect. And deflect Helios does. ]

[ voice ]

[refinedmaestro]

[Oh Frederic knows that accent and voice all too well. Thus, he decides to answer his friend in need of help.]

I see the Malnosso gave you that body again, shall we meet up so I may help you?

[ voice ]

[magicboobs]

Yes. So it seems. Looks like they haven't lost their touch. Ah! I-I suppose, if, if you wanted. I-I'm just getting to the village now. [ With a few absentminded trips over things later. ]

[ voice ]

[refinedmaestro]

Where are you right now? We can meet in the center of town.

[ voice ]

[magicboobs]

Just...just outside the bakery. [ He sounds disappointed because it's closed and he wanted something sweet. No thanks to being dropped off like this he can't even get some sweets. They could have at least timed his return better. There's a slight sigh on his end. ] Thank you Frederic.

[Ginko knows not every face is going to be familiar, even after a year and a half in this town-- but there's something about that wardrobe and those mannerisms that look a little ....off, on the gold-ringleted woman tripping toward town. Muttering, green eye narrowed to scrutinize-] You alright?

action

[magicboobs]

[ Ah! Who said that-oh! Ginko. Wonderful. Why is he running into people like this? His clothes are still wet from the recent drop off. But he'll wave the other off a sheepish smile on his features. ] Oh! Yes. Fine, perfectly alright. Just...just had those accursed droids drop me in the river.

[ Of all the places. ]

[one_green_eye]

[.....skeptically] They weren't the ones from that-- thing-- that cropped up, were they? [he doesn't trust those rollercoasters OR the be-costumed droids, so his thoughts take an odd hypothetical leap]

[magicboobs]

What thing that cropped up? Did something happen? [ Oh dear. Make him panic why don't you Ginko. Helios fidgets trying to fix the wet clothes so they're a bit more comfortable. ]
