[Today, in the plaza, you'll see a certain New Feather at the fountain. It's clear he's a New Feather, easily distinguishable by the light cotton pants he's wearing and the bewildered expression on his face.

Of course, he hasn't yet accepted his situation yet. It's rather hard to, when you find yourself in a place completely different from the one you were in before, and without any of the people you know in sight. So, of course, the logical thing to do would be to believe you're still dreaming.

That's exactly what Asbel believes, as he briefly dunks his head in the fountain, fully submerging it, before pulling it out and shaking the water off.]

...I guess... it's not a dream, huh...

[He glances around briefly nearby, perhaps coming out of one of the shops, or during the corner to enter the plaza themselves, or whatever. He, deciding he should probably get some answers about just what's going on, starts running towards them.]

Excuse me!

[Is this person you?]

((ooc: Spoilers in the Lambda thread, jsyk.))

Hello there.

Edited 2010-11-18 18:53 (UTC)

Uh. Yeah?

[Of course, Richard doesn't notice Asbel as he makes his way out of the store-- he's already had one false alarm, and he's a little preoccupied with other thoughts at the moment. He may not be instantly recognizable either, clad in casual Earth-style clothing instead of his usual more formal outfit, but that slightly regal bearing should be unmistakable to his friend, as is the voice that's humming a tune to himself.]

[He nods.]

Yeah... Do you think you could tell me... where this is?

[He gives a slight nod. He wasn't sure what sort of person this could be, whether they were in a position of power or just a commoner, so it was best to play it on the safe side.]

Hello. Excuse me, would you... mind answering a few questions for me?

Questions? Certainly. How can I assist you?

Yeah, about that... You're probably not going to be able to get home from here, at least voluntarily.

You're in another world, and we're all trapped here.

[At first, Lambda is a little dumbstruck. When he came to the village today, he hadn't expected he would run into a familiar face. Yet, there is Asbel, approaching the fountain. Perhaps the Malnosso listened to his request after all. He's just about to approach Asbel when the boy suddenly dunks his head underwater.]

...

[He doesn't quite recognize the man from a distance. Although the blond hair looks familiar, as does the air the man gives off, it couldn't be the person Asbel believed it to be. After all, he'd never seen him dressed like that before, or anything even close to it.

At least, it's clear this is a man of status.]

Excuse me, sir! Please wait! I have somethi--...

[Upon getting close to the man, however, he freezes. He couldn't possibly mistake him, no... But he says nothing for now.]

...

[Estelle was just on her way to the library, quickly to avoid Zagi encounters, but she stops when she hears someone calling out to her. ...And then sees him soaking wet.]

Oh! Are you all right?

Could you possibly tell me where I am?

[At that, Richard stops in his tracks, eyes wide. That's the second time in less than a week that he's thought he's heard that familiar voice, but it can't be real this time either, right? It can't be... but he's turning his head towards it anyway, a name escaping his mouth before he even realizes it.]

... Asbel?

You're in Luceti, although no one is sure where Luceti is located.

[Trapped, and with no way to leave? It didn't seem probable. How could anyone trap a group of people in such a large village?]

...What? Trapped? How?

[This man knows his name... That means it's...]

Richard...?

[After dunking his head in the water, he shakes his from side to side to knock the excess water off, before proceeding to wipe the water from his eyes so he could see again.

If Lambda was in close enough range, he just might get hit by the water.]

Asbel... it really is you!

[HAPPIEST KING IS HAPPY, with probably the biggest smile Asbel has ever seen on his face.]

[Alright? Of course he's alright. He didn't recall suffering an injury or anything of the sort...]

Hm? ...Y-yeah, I'm fine. ...Why, is there something wrong?

What? How can that be? [Seriously, no one at knows where this village is, even though it seems civilized enough?]

No one's mapped out the region yet?

Well you see. I heard there's a barrier around the premise, and that we're only allowed to venture so far. So even if we did want to map it. We can't.

[Luckily, Lambda was keeping his distance. He just watches Asbel for a few more moments, before approaching.]

Asbel.

A group of people brought us here. We don't know exactly for what, but... Supposedly if you walk far enough away from the village you will hit some sort of barrier. Someone has written up a guide that... explains most of all this.

You found some sort of book with you, right?

[With everything he's seen Richard go through recently, seeing Richard so happy certainly does bring a smile to his face.]

Richard, I'm glad you're al--

[...Wait...]

...Richard, are you alright?
