[Action/Accidental Voice] 015

[Action - Morning]

[It's around mid-morning on the 27th when the Malnosso finally decided to drop Alexei back into Luceti. They weren't nice enough to at least drop him in his nice, warm, comfy bed and instead drops him on the cherry blossom tree near where Miyabi lives. Alexei hasn't realized where he had been dropped, because he was still unconscious, lying limply on the branches. ]

[Afternoon into Evening]

[Later on that day, once he found his way into town, Alexei can be seen at some of the shops, trying to locate his personal items and clothes. Those who know him will notice something was different with Alexei, he seem younger in appearance. He still had a few twigs and leaves after his ventures to get out of the tree and still rather disorientated about his situation. It just...sounded ridiculous what he was told. But the wings remind him that there is probably some truth to what he has been told. Damn wings need to stop hurting.

Alexei can be found in the general, clothing and smithy store during most of the afternoon. Closer to the evening, he'll be found in the Good Spirits Bar, looking around to have a chat with any of the residents here. So he may come up and grab your attention. When things quiet down, he'll bring out his journal, skimming absently through it...turning it over a few times.]


[Voice]

How does this journal actually work...? [The journal picks up his question that he didn't intentionally mean for anyone to hear. He was just thinking out loud.]

[OOC: Alexei has been temporarily de-aged to around his mid 20s. 24ish I put him down as. He doesn't remember his time in Luceti this time around, believing he is a "new feather". All responses will be done through [personal profile] destinedtofall and information about his young self can be found on there too.]

...

[He hesitates for a moment, but he'll slowly shake Red's hand in due time. He looked like a monster, but he could speak. Strange]

Alexei, and you're partially right. I've just arrive to this place, so I'm familiarizing myself of this village. I've been told a few things about this place, who runs it at least. [...And people telling him he's been here before.]
savarin: (oh non!)

[action]

[personal profile] savarin 2012-12-31 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
Alexei?!

[Red's jaw drops, letting that bone clatter to the floor. Without really thinking, he grabs another one from the plate and pops it in his mouth.]

Yeah, you've been here before! You talked to me when I first got here, remember? Did the Malnosso do somethin' to ya?
destinedtofall: (Key of Destiny)

[action]

[personal profile] destinedtofall 2012-12-31 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
I-I did? [He jumped slightly from Red's reaction and then frowns] I'm...sorry, I don't remember ever being here before. You're not the first to tell me this though.
savarin: (eh bien?)

[action]

[personal profile] savarin 2013-01-01 07:48 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, definitely Malnossoed. Alright, let's get ya the refresher course.

[Red takes out his journal, flipping it to the guide page then handing it over to Alexei.]

Basically, you and your new wings are stuck here. Don't pull 'em, it really hurts. Everything's free, take what you want. That about covers it.
destinedtofall: (Imperfect)

[action]

[personal profile] destinedtofall 2013-01-03 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Alexei looks over the guide for a moment and then back to Red]

Right...I got told most of this. I still can't imagine how a free society can work. [...Ok, now he can't really ignore it anymore] I might have asked this before, but what exactly are you?
savarin: (quel idiot...)

[action]

[personal profile] savarin 2013-01-04 07:44 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, yeah, musta forgotten that too. I'm a Caninu, a kind of... dog-man from my world. No humans back home; if you're shocked right now, imagine what it musta been like for me when I showed up.

[Red takes the journal and puts it away again, slipping on his glove as well.]

Enough about me. What can I do for ya right now? Anythin' you need?
destinedtofall: (Melodious Nocturne)

[action]

[personal profile] destinedtofall 2013-01-04 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[Dog-man is a fitting description. He still wants to ask more about where he's from, but he'll move away since Red didn't seem to want to discuss it much.

He glances at the plate of food Red was eating and remembers the other reason he was here. His stomachs beats him too it before he even says it.]


...I think the only thing I'm concern with right now, is getting some food.

savarin: (comment?)

[action]

[personal profile] savarin 2013-01-05 09:12 am (UTC)(link)
Well, you're in the right place! They got good grub here, especially these wings, and of course it's all free.

[Red's about to take a big bite out of one of them when he pauses, looking faintly shocked.]

...Funny that we're eatin' wings in a place like this. Never thought about that.

[In the end, though, he just shrugs and resumes his meal.]
destinedtofall: (Cloaked Schemer)

[personal profile] destinedtofall 2013-01-07 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Why-....[Oh, right. A wry smile]

I could make a terrible joke to that. I still can't believe everything in this place is free...then again, we're trapped here. So I suppose that's our "payment".
savarin: (à propos...)

[action]

[personal profile] savarin 2013-01-08 09:59 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, even test subjects get fed. Unless it's an experiment about starvin' people.

[It's a damn good thing they're not doing that, Red thinks as he eats.]

Heck, maybe everythin' bein' free is an experiment. I wouldn't be surprised.
destinedtofall: (Graceful Assassin)

[action]

[personal profile] destinedtofall 2013-01-09 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
Do you have any details on the experiments that happen here? [A pause]

...Actually, would it be all right if I sit with you and talk? [And he can order something to eat...]
savarin: (salut!)

[action]

[personal profile] savarin 2013-01-10 09:34 am (UTC)(link)
Go right ahead!

[Red's just going to order some more wings while Alexei gets seated. He'll split them with the man while he makes his own order.]

Anyway, experiments. They do 'em on random people that they kidnap, and sometimes they make the whole village do somethin' too. The first kind's pretty harmless from what I've seen, but ya might be a little different for a week or so.

[Give him a moment to scarf down another wing.]

You just missed one of the big ones, too. They decorated the whole village for some holiday called "Christmas." It was nice, except for the little elves that kept watchin' everyone.
destinedtofall: (Gambler of Fate)

[action]

[personal profile] destinedtofall 2013-01-11 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
[He takes a seat as he listens. He's still can't stop being fascinated by Red, but he's trying hard not to show it.]

Christmas? And elves? Were they looking for something?
savarin: (eh bien?)

[action]

[personal profile] savarin 2013-01-11 09:33 am (UTC)(link)
It's some holiday about a fat guy who watches ya all year to see if you've been naughty or nice. If you're good, ya get presents. I guess the elves were watchin' for him this year. Didn't make much sense.

[Down goes another chicken wing -- ah, here comes the fresh order! Red will just shove it over towards Alexei, being satisfied with chewing on that bone for now. Gotta let the "new" guy get a shot at them.]

It's not a thing where I'm from, but I guess for most people here it is. Can't say I didn't like it.
destinedtofall: (Imperfect)

[action]

[personal profile] destinedtofall 2013-01-13 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
He just...watches people? [That's a little disturbing to know. He questions how he judges people good and bad too.]

It's nothing I ever heard of where I'm from either. [He glances at the chicken wings for a moment.]

From holidays to kidnapping people...I don't think I quite understand the point of their experiments. [He takes a wing from the basket once he's taken off his gloves.]
savarin: (que faire?)

[action]

[personal profile] savarin 2013-01-13 09:56 am (UTC)(link)
Me neither. They must be researchin' some crazy stuff.

[Red goes quiet for a moment, shifting the bone around in his mouth.]

I heard some of the big experiments are real nasty. Most are kinda harmless, but now and then ya get somethin' actually dangerous. I'm hopin' we don't get one of those any time soon.
destinedtofall: (Savage Nymph)

[action]

[personal profile] destinedtofall 2013-01-15 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
Hm. [He leans back in his seat and soon realizes right away that was a bad idea. His wings were still sore after they got smushed from the fall earlier and putting any sort of pressure on them puts Alexei in a whole lot of pain.

He drops the wing he was holding onto the table and wince.]


Nng...damn these ridiculous wings. Why must they be a necessity in this place?
savarin: (voyons...)

[action]

[personal profile] savarin 2013-01-15 09:55 am (UTC)(link)
For that, you're gonna have to ask the Malnosso. I don't like 'em either; now I got two things behind me to watch out for. The other's my tail, of course.

[Red shifts, being suddenly conscious of his own wings. He's still eating the ones that aren't attached to his back, though.]
