[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.]

[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.

[crisisrain]

[You didn't see that.]

Oh? I thought you'd wanna keep an eye on me at least. I could easily stab ya in the back while your guard is down.

[fallenambitions]

[suuure I didn't]

And you have the tendency to underestimate me. I doubt you would do it anyway. [And he ends up stopping on the second floor, waiting for Raven]

[crisisrain]

[Raven catches up and just stops.]

What?

[fallenambitions]

This is where we part ways. [Meaning, stop following him]

[crisisrain]

Only fair I know what room yer stayin' in seeing as you know mine. I think I'll follow you for a little longer.
