059 [Action]

[vulcanblazer]

[...It has not been a good few days for Adell.  Horrible Malnosso experimentation and emotional instability.  Not fun.  Also, they've seen fit to deposit him unceremoniously in the village unconscious.

After getting some help at first... he'll be trudging around the village, heading back to his house briefly.... and then to the bar that night.  He

action - laaaaaaaaaaate

[lunarianlegacy]

[Ceodore's on his way back to the clinic after a run to the bakery for snacks when he spots Adell. Which is a relief. He'd been worried about the guy since he was taken right after his sweetheart was sent home. The change in appearance doesn't quite phase the prince though.]

Adell! Hey, you okay?

Action - Late is fine!

[vulcanblazer]

[He's a little surprised Ceodore came up to him without any hesitation at all. But... he's not going to press it for now.]

...As well as can be expected in the circumstances, I guess.

Action - phew!

[lunarianlegacy]

[There's two things working in Adell's favor: Ceodore's epic powers of derpy obliviousness and his own awkward physical transformation when his powers are fully used. He's banking that whatever's off with Adell is probably a mallynap effect.]

Yeah. You need anything?

Action

[vulcanblazer]

[That's a good guess, Ceodore. The right one, too.]

I'm not sure. I'm still trying to get adjusted to what's happened.

So late T_T

[lina_revolution]

[Woah. Oh, boy. Good lord. Lina can sense that, enough that it knocks her out of her nap and right out of the tree she was napping in. Yikes...

...okay. What are you and what are you doing snuffling around her town?

As Adell is shuffling to the bar, Lina will fly in, landing just a few paces behind him.]

Hey, buddy, what's the big...

...Adell?!

It's cool!

[vulcanblazer]

[Adell turns around at the annoyed voice, looking right at her with those red eyes. Scared yet? At first he's guarded enough in case someone attacks him... but he sees who it is. For now, he eases up, but he still looks tense.]

...Lina?

[imxperfectlife]

[Luceti is strange. It's scary, a place away from home, a place from which she can't escape, where her mother isn't by her side and the rules she's used to don't exist. Even with the prospect of a school there, the whole situation is just too crazy for her

[Action]

[vulcanblazer]

[Adell is dead weight for the entirety of the trip. He's out like a light and doesn't move a muscle aside from breathing. Even when Luka gets her back to the apartment, he doesn't stir immediately.

After a couple of minutes though, he makes a very quiet groan and slowly begins moving.]

[Action]

[imxperfectlife]

[As bad as it is to carry the dead weight to the apartment, it's probably better that way. If he had moved it would have made everything harder. And she's scared. She's terrified. Of him. For him. For herself. Of this place. It's layer of fear after layer of fear, piling up until she's just so scared, terrified and confused that she is emotionless to it.

As she gets him to her bed she tries to not think of his appearance, to not wonder if it's just a physical change or something else,if this is normal or something that has been done to him. She tries to not think about a monster or a demon but about someone hurt who may only have her as available help. But she's not a doctor and has never had to take care of anyone sick, is he sick to begin with?

At the end all she does is sit besides the bed watching him intently, trembling with fear but caressing his forehead, face and neck with a towel, wet with cold water to try to refresh him and provide some comfort.]

[Action]

[vulcanblazer]

[...The cool, refreshing feel of the water on his face, the gentle touch. It causes him to stir just a little more. It's almost like he's waking up gently from a nap.

Soon, his eyes slowly crack open, revealing their changed colors, and another light groan has enough of his mouth open to reveal those fangs and more pointed teeth.

His vision is blurry at first, just a mass of colors, swirling around before him. It's almost sickening with how they move, but before long his senses slowly come into focus. He realizes... he's in a comfortable bed, unlike the facility. The room was warmer colored and feeling than the cold labs he could barely remember in the recesses of his mind. He sees the towel move over his forehead just slightly, and he weakly turns his head to see who is tending to him.

At first, like the room, she comes out as a mass of colors... familiar colors. Pink hair... the build was different from Charlotte, but before the finer details of her face become clear... he mutters a name.]

Luka...?
