14 - [Action for House 59, Friends, Family and Freeloaders]

[lunarianlegacy]

[Ceodore is one bloodied and bruised mess after tangling with some metallic mystery Eidolon. He trudges into the house with the full intent of crawling into bed and sleeping until everything wrong with him goes away. He'd heal himself, but he's low on magic and to add insult to injury, that Eidolon inflicted Silence on him right before it expired.

Comments

[eidolon_soul]

[After a harrowing day of confronting Eidolons she was used to working with, Rydia drags herself back to the house. Healing magic won't ease the soreness that results from spending the day in vigorous combat. She doesn't intend to stay for long, wanting to give space for whatever earthquake refugees might need it. Still, the summoner can't depart for the cave until she's seen for herself that the others are well, or at least alive.]

[lunarianlegacy]

[Tricky. Rydia's at home, and Ceodore's too tired to explain what happened or endure being pampered. Not to mention he can't talk until the Silence wears off. Ugh.

He'll be tiptoeing through the house to try to make it to bed before she catches him.]

[eidolon_soul]

[Rydia's too exhausted to pamper anyone right now, just staggering over to the couch so she can collapse on it...for just a minute. Right. But she spots Ceodore and sighs in relief.]

Oh, good! I hoped you would be alright. It's crazy out there, isn't it? Have you seen the others?

[lunarianlegacy]

[He shakes his head, trying to convey that he hasn't seen anyone else. Except Uncle in the yard and his sweetie a bloodied mess. But those take words to explain, so he settles for the nonverbal answer. How in the world does Kain do this all the time anyway?]

[melodiesoflute]

[Edward certainly looked as if he had seen better days, especially after tangling with both a certain powerful Dragon God and a impure Luvaci hailing from the barrels of Hell. Limping towards the house, the bard ceremoniously fell to the floor as soon as he closed the front door behind him.]

Nngh...

[eidolon_soul]

Edward!

[Immediately, Rydia rushes over to heal him. She forgets about her own weariness, for the moment.]

[melodiesoflute]

[Edward was literally unconscious as soon as he hit the floor. Battling two gigantic fiends in one day wasn't something the bard was truly accustom to, but he was so thankful to still be alive. He swore he met his end when Bahamut appeared, but things only gotten worse once that demon appeared near the edge of town.]

Oh...

[The bard to stir.]

My head aches so badly.

[eidolon_soul]

[Frowning in concern, Rydia used more healing magic.]

Edward...open your eyes. Look at me.

[cladinthedark]

[Golbez is spending his time outside right now, the reason for which becomes obvious when you notice the enormous dragon settled down near him. His arms are folded as if in meditation.]

Golbez needs to meet his polar opposite obviously. :B

[boomchucka]

[Selphie's making her way back to the house and she feels like a bruise. She's covered in various layers of rabbit guts and to put the topping on her blood-spattered appearance, she's got a half-dozen of dead rabbits slung over her shoulder on a rope, wrapped around her nunchaku, swinging lazily from side to side. There's several dozen bite marks on her legs and she's got her fair share of cuts and gashes when she spots the rather large, grumpy looking dragon lying nearby. She stops dead in her tracks with a wary look on her face. Although there is a very sheepish smile on her face regardless. Maybe he won't want to eat her? Perky brunettes don't taste good and oftentimes give heartburn.]

Uh... hi there big guy.

Naturally! Especially since she's dating his nephew.

[cladinthedark]

[The dragon turns it's head to regard for a moment, then snorts.]

My name is Bahamut, child.

[Golbez's head turns to regard Selphie as Bahamut speaks, but he doesn't say anything, yet.]

[boomchucka]

[Bahamut? That's odd... he's supposed to be red back home and how did he get here? And as far as she knew that Bahamut didn't talk. Figuring that it'd be better to be respectful.]

It's nice to meet you. My name's Selphie. I don't suppose you happen to have a cousin or a brother who's big, imposing and red and likes to go by the same name?

[dragoon_pride]

[Kain is in no better shape after facing off against that crazy mechanical Eidolon. He's still wary of spending time at the house but needs to find Rydia so he can be warped to the cave anyway. So he trudges in at some point after Ceodore.]

[eidolon_soul]

[Rydia is collapsed on the couch, eyes closed and not quite asleep but not quite awake either. Her outfit is torn in a couple of places and she evidently hasn't gathered the energy to head over to the shower yet, since there are still blood stains aplenty. Her healing magic has ensured that bruises and scrapes and worse are absent...but that probably contributed to wiping her out. Hearing footsteps, she turns her head a little but doesn't open her eyes yet. Too much effort.]

Hm?

[dragoon_pride]

[Kain practically falls on her, but catches himself at the last minute. He nudges her a little and gives her a 'can we get to the cave and rest' type of look.]

[eidolon_soul]

[Rydia stirs and opens her eyes slowly, then reaches for him. And she notices that look, but first....]

I need help up....

[Yes, too tired to maintain her pride.]

[boomchucka]

[After seeing a variation of Bahamut, Selphie's going to attempt sneaking into the house without anybody discovering her or asking what happened. She's ten shades of tired and would love nothing more than to have a bath and then collapse into a bed for some well-earned sleep. Granted... bloodied footsteps and being covered in blood, rabbit guts and many, many instances of what look like bite marks are not the best way to sneak in quietly but at least they don't have to worry about Griever trying to destroy the village?]

[lunarianlegacy]

[Selphie's out of luck. Ceodore's spotted her, sees the mess she's in, and promptly begins to freak out. Silently. Thanks to some strange creature more familiar to her than to him. He'd be protesting, but can't until Silence wears off. He'll just have to settle for forcing himself to muster the energy to rush up to her. Taking hold of her arms, he looks Selphie up and down for additional injuries.]

[boomchucka]

[Selphie's a bit alarmed at the state of Ceodore but her head cocks to the side before she's waving her arms the best that she can.]

I'm okay, Ceodore. Stop worrying, I'll survive but did somebody cast silence on you?

[lunarianlegacy]

[He nods in the affirmative. If you can call some rampaging metal monstrosity a somebody. Her assurances don't stop the prince from checking her out more, although to be fair, he's far more battered and visibly so than she.]
