[Action] 008

[fallenambitions]

[After a week of absence, the Malnosso have decided not to drop him where they found him, but somewhere in the northern part of town, unarmed and far from his room. Wonderful. He looked physically all right from a distance, maybe a little malnourished, but he was able to wander through the village without help. Except he kept stopping and looking around, as if he was unable to recall where exactly he was.]

[Alexei's too tired to care he had someone stalking him or even realize he had someone trailing him. If he's not going to let himself be known, then he won't be bother...unless uh, Raven tries to attack him or something. That will definitely get a response. So Alexei will just continue on his way through town...except he really didn't seem to know where he was going. He kept stopping whenever the road splits, trying to recall which way led to what way.]

[Raven will just be following Alexei like a ninja for now. He's noticed that he looks quite pale and tired, Raven starts wondering what might've happened to him. Alexei is a tough nut to crack as it is, something bad must've gone down for him to end up so fatigued.]

[fallenambitions]

[Shit went down for a good 2 weeks man. Why weren't the Malnosso kind enough to drop him back in the same place they took him? His room? He continues down along a path and hopes it'll take him to the central part of the village...he could get himself back to the Community building from there. He likes to believe he could stay conscious long enough to get back, but all this wandering and being unable to figure out where he was exactly, was taking a toll on his already tired self.]

[crisisrain]

[Raven is still following you, all these snowman are surprisingly good for hiding behind. He's got the feeling that Alexei might be aware he's being followed however.]

[fallenambitions]

[By this point...yea. It's just taking him longer to react then usual. Plus, he didn't feel like dealing with who he thinks is following him. After a while of this though, he ends up stopping and saying something out of annoyance.]

I suggest you find someone else to bother.

[crisisrain]

Oh well that was a fun. [He walks out from behind a snowman and approaches Alexei.] You've seen better days.

[fallenambitions]

I like to see how well you'd fare after being in the Malnosso's captivity for several weeks.

[crisisrain]

Ya got kidnapped by the Malnosso? No wonder you look so terrible. Shouldn't you be headin' back to yer room, or a clinic or somethin'.

[fallenambitions]

What I've been trying to do since I was let go.

[crisisrain]

Then uh, what're ya doin' next to the shops. Yer in the same buildin' as me right? That's no where near here.

[fallenambitions]

This wasn't where I was dropped. It took me a while to even find this part of town, an area I actually recognize.

[crisisrain]

An area you recognise? [Pausing for a moment while he thinks.] That means either you don't leave yer room very often or... ya havn't been here very long.

[fallenambitions]

Only a little longer then you. [Right. He's starting to make his way out of the shopping district, to the bridge and down the road that'll take him back to his building]

[crisisrain]

[Still following you Alexei.]

There's somethin' I wanted ta ask you.

[fallenambitions]

[Sighs, still walking] What?

[crisisrain]

What did you do to my blastia?

[fallenambitions]

...Something wrong with it?

[crisisrain]

Yeah just a bit. Ya said you improved it, but the same time everyday it starts hurtin', like clockwork.

[fallenambitions]

Strange, something in the formula I must have missed then or a glitch...either is likely the case for a new formula.

[crisisrain]

Well aside from that it works perfectly fine, better than before even. Here I was thinkin' ya might be using it to keep tabs on me, not like ya could with those Malnosso kidnappin' you and all.

[fallenambitions]

I'll look at it again if you like when I've recovered my strength. [He's tired, he doesn't care right now. Let Raven suffer a little more while he rests then. After walking for some time, he finds himself looking at the familiar building he currently resides in.]

[crisisrain]

Jerk :(

You really do live in the same buildin' don't ya?

[fallenambitions]

[He doesn't bother to answer him and just enters the building. Now for the stairs...joy.]

[crisisrain]

[Raven is trying not to laugh as Alexei struggles up the stairs.]

Can I at least go first? Then if ya fall, you won't fall on me.

[fallenambitions]

[h-he's not having that much of a hard time getting up those stairs. Least it's only three floors and oh boy humor] Now where's the fun in that? You're fine where you are anyway.
