28 - [4th wall]

[stargathering]

[ The video turns on and it's surprisingly quiet, with the cool, wintry blue sky spread out behind Tyr with out so much as a tree top peeking out to disturb it. At least he's found one place that's not inundated with people and whatever else fourth wall days bring in.

He sighs, leaning back. ] Today seems more hectic than the last few of these we'

[Tyyyr, why didn't you warn your servant about this? He's in a bit of a panic while out grocery shopping, though he's relieved to see his master's all right in the video. But lonely? Has Tyr been lonely? He can only hope that will change with Ted here...]

[axeofoath]

[Anyway, have FRETTY GREMIO VIDEO!]

Y-Young Master, how can you be so calm? I-I think we're being in-invaded!

[ He'll be back by supper, Gremio. ...And Ted might help that strange, lonely feeling. Not that Gremio doesn't.

Tyr gives Gremio a weird look. ] Gremio, this is a City that's populated by pulling random people from various worlds. There's no way or reason to invade it. Besides, this thing has happened twice already...

[stargathering]

[ With a small huff, he adds a few moments later: ] I'm on the roof; you can get away from them if you join me up here.

[axeofoath]

[What is that weird look for when he's just worried?] Twice before? Th-this happens regularly?

Ah, y-yes...I don't believe I'll be able to finish the shopping like this, in any case... [He glances around nervously at all the people.]

[stargathering]

Only every few months... And it only lasts two days at most.

[ More gently: ] We should have enough for now anyway... Come on.

[axeofoath]

I-is that all? I was worried something terrible had happened...

[Well, there goes his dessert plans, but he'd much rather be there with Tyr.] All right, Young Master. I'll be on my way.

[stargathering]

[ Oh, Gremio. Tyr shakes his head. ] No, it just gets a little cramped for a few days, then it's back to normal... The people that arrive don't stay, either.

[ Oh, if Tyr knew that was the sacrifice... ] I'll see you soon.

[axeofoath]

Ah, that is a relief, although it's a little strange, as well. In any case, I'm glad nothing serious has happened, Young Master!

[Specifically, he's glad nothing serious has happened to Tyr. But yes, poor dessert sacrifice that Tyr will never know! :< Gremio will just be on his way--rather quickly, trying to get away from the crowds.]

[stargathering]

I wouldn't just leave you if that was the case, Gremio.

...Watch out for your pockets, though.

[axeofoath]

Young Master... [A little smile!] I-it was your safety I was truly worried about.

My pockets? Could it be...A-are there bandits here?

[stargathering]

You don't have to worry about me. I'm used to this place.

Maybe. I don't think the City is picky when it comes to tourists.

[axeofoath]

A-ah, but... [Hearing that almost makes him more worried.]

Y-you're right, Young Master! I shall keep a close eye on...on...[Searching through his pockets WHERE IS HIS WALLET]

[stargathering]

[ ... Oh Gremio. Tyr hopes he didn't jinx it. ]

... There's always more money if you need it...

[axeofoath]

[he actually just forgot it at home He can't believe it's missing! Just getting frettier, now.]

B-but, Young Master-! I-I've allowed your hard-earned money to be stolen by thieves!

[stargathering]

[ oh good ]

It's fine, Gremio. It's not your fault the people here are worse than usual.
