Ngh. Hasn't it been a week yet? All this darkness is getting on my nerves.


Martel, I've decided to come home. I... couldn't finish my business, but to stay out here even longer would be foolish. I can't do this by myself.
...
I'm sorry.

You think this darkness is getting on your nerves?! Try being a klutz in complete darkness! It's like TRIP, FALL, CRUNCH, SMASH! Not fun. Not fun at all.

[fortunefail]

Next time you move around, try crawling.

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

I did! FOR REAL! But I kept slamming my head into things! I got knocked out for awhile even! So, I've kind of just resigned myself to sitting in the clinic 'till the lights come back on. It's safer there... so far.

[fortunefail]

It might be a while until the light returns. Perhaps even a few more days. Are you certain you can sit still that long?

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

W-Well... Dang it! Stupid Malnosso and their stupid experiments! I shall sit here for as long as I possibly can and hope to God that I don't set things on fire next time I trip and break a lantern!

[fortunefail]

You've set something on fire before?

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

I-It was totally on accident! Who puts chairs in a living room!? Honestly!

[ialwayscheat.livejournal.com]

I'm totally with you on the darkness thing.

[fortunefail]

It's likely most people feel the same way.

[ialwayscheat.livejournal.com]

Well, except the vampires, but that's completely understandable.

Captain Jack Harkness, by the way, and you are?

[fortunefail]

... Yuan.

[ialwayscheat.livejournal.com]

Pleasure to meet you, Yuan. Where are you from?

[fortunefail]

Aselia. The past version of Aselia. It seems there are also a few individuals here from a distant future.

[Yuan]

Yuan, you don't--

I'll have dinner waiting.

[Martel]

[fortunefail]

Thank you.


[[OOC: Wanna action post or something? These two really need to interact more. ^^']]

[Action!]

[The door is left unlocked; Martel's in the kitchen finishing up preparations for dinner: which will be a tasty Meat Stew (tomatoes included).]

[Action]

[fortunefail]

[before entering the house, he stops to take a deep breath. Partly to steady himself for having to face Martel with the knowledge that he failed in getting his ring back, and partly because he's smelling the air hopefully. He hasn't had anything decent to eat in a few weeks, after all. Then he walks through the door and glances around]

Martel?

[Action]

[go-green.livejournal.com]

I'm in the kitchen.

[She spoons stew into a bowl - the largest she could find - and waits for Yuan to find her.]

[Action]

[fortunefail]

[he silently wanders over to the kitchen and stops in the doorpost, smiling faintly at the sight of Martel cooking dinner]

... Hey.

[salvationfound.livejournal.com]

It is a tad ridiculous.

[fortunefail]

Just a 'tad'?

[salvationfound.livejournal.com]

Fine.

It is ridiculous.

[fortunefail]

Heh.

We'll practically be blinded when the darkness lifts. If you have use of Filial magic, I suggest using it to attempt to let your eyes be ready for the light.

[fortunefail]

Of course. I've been illuminating my path with lightning magic ever since this experiment began.
