You bucks an' dells've gone abram, an' that's lily.

[ooc: can't resist; no pirates in his whorl really, but thieves' cant is a good parallel :D]

action~

[obliviomancy]

[Annnd to top off a day of randomness, a portal opens out of nowhere! The Eagle Nobody has landed. And he is not impressed.

Roxas is also ignoring Silk's presence in his own apartment, because his manners are just that awesome.]

This isn't the right place either. What's going on?

action~

[doujin_dork]

I-I don't know! Do you think it's another curse? Then again, I thought I heard some weird speaking going on today, so maybe not. [She looks around to see if she recognizes where this even is and then-]

Augh! There's someone else in here! Although I guess that makes sense, that happened to me, too, but I'm sorry! We didn't mean to barge in on you!

action~

[silk_for_calde]

[The tall blond man jumps up as people appear out of nowhere in his room, reaching for a sword that isn't there. That in fact wouldn't be there normally, since he's laboring under a curse-induced delusion.]

Pas' teats! Who are you culls?

action~

[obliviomancy]

[Roxas tenses as the stranger goes for a weapon. He doesn't relax, even when he sees that nothing's drawn. Then again, he doesn't pull his own, either, which is a marked improvement.

Straightening, he goes back to ignoring Silk and looking around their landing point instead. Still not his own apartment. What's wrong with this day?]

Doesn't matter. What-- Where is this place?

action~

[doujin_dork]

[She flinches a little, but she sees there's nothing there. She's also very glad to see Roxas is relatively relaxed about all thi- Wait! That's a little too relaxed, isn't it? How does appearing in some stranger's house with no notice not matter? Especially when he looks upset!] I don't know where it is, why don't you ask the person who lives here?!

[turning to said stranger] Aa! I-I'm Hiyori, and this is Roxas. We came here by accident!

action~

[silk_for_calde]

Accident? What kinda shave's that supposed to be?

[Silk still looks disgruntled, but somewhat calmer-- mostly because it's always safest to appear strong, and in control of the situation.]

You here to solve my place? I've got a needler, and I'll do for you if you are.

action~

[obliviomancy]

You're yelling.

[He points it out because she is. People with emotions are weird. Does it really matter what some stranger's name is? Once he figures out what's wrong with his portals, they're going out again.

Then Silk speaks, and Roxas finally looks at him. Apparently Hiyori's not the only one getting funny looks today.]

We're not here to shave anything. [pause] You can't solve an apartment anyway. It's a place, not a puzzle.

action~

[doujin_dork]

Yes I'm yelling because it's important for you to know these things! And I'm frustrated! And confused! [flail~!] And I don't know what you're saying, but it was actually an accident! I don't know, something's messing up today! Apparently the City can mess with magic and portals! [Kind of more to Roxas now] And I think that was a threat!

action~

[silk_for_calde]

[He stared in uncomprehending disbelief as the two intruders, well, argued with one another.]

Only a threat if yer here to rob me, dell, [he interjected, grinning.] So what, you a couple'a uphill sprats, thought it'd be a dimber lay to come down an' nick somethin'?

action~

[obliviomancy]

You don't even have anything worth stealing.

[Says the kid who assigns worth by - actually, does he even assign worth, ever? He does kind of recognise 'sprat', though, and the tone behind it.]

Pay attention. She [with a quick gesture to the side] already explained. I'm not going over it again.

[He turns, although he doesn't open another portal just yet. Instead, he addresses Hiyori.] I'm leaving. Are you gonna walk from here?

action~

[doujin_dork]

[I guess that's reassuring, but for some reason when he says something like that it just sounds insulting.] A-ah, we're not here to steal anything, I promise. [To Roxas]And no, I'm not walking, I don't even know where we are. [Plus the portal is kinda fun.]

action~

[silk_for_calde]

[Okay, this is just plain bizarre. Judging by how confused the two of them are, they really did end up here accidentally. Which makes the whole situation a little funny. At this point he's just grinning.]

Could always give a whistle on my glass and roll you over to Hoppy, eh? [Obviously this is not a serious threat. Whatever it means.] So where was it you were tryin' to go?

action~

[obliviomancy]

My apartment. [He stops.] At least, I was. She just fell over.

[The bewilderment of Silk's weird cant catches up with him, and Roxas blinks, caught off-guard and tripped into curiosity.]

... What does whistling on glass have to do with rolling?

action~

[doujin_dork]

Eh-heh, yeah. Sorry about that. [She had been hearing it, and true enough that last one was definitely the weirdest of them all, but she'd been putting it up to that weird speak on the network. Though this one sounded slightly different.]

action~

[silk_for_calde]

[He stared blankly at Roxas.]

What kinda shaggy cull are ya, anyway? You're off by a dog's right. Lucky 's not my whorl, if you an' your dell ended up in the Orilla some flash buck'd have done for you both.

[He laughed.]

I ain't one to hurt sprats, though, even if they're madder'n Molpe. So now what? If this' a shave it's a close one, an' I don't think it is. Yer in building two, you know.

action~

[obliviomancy]

It's not anybody's world. And I'm not that easy to do for.

[Yeah, he did just mishear 'world' for 'whorl'. It's an easy mistake to make! But, shaggy... cull? He tilts his head but doesn't say a word. Obviously the guy's not about to explain. There's no point in asking.]

Building two. All right.

[Maybe it'll help orient the corridor if he knows where he is. Not that it's ever worked like that before... Roxas flicks and another portal opens up, a black hole in the room. Smooth and easy and reliable as ever. Of course, it'd looked like that when it had led them here, too.]
