four ► may there always be angels

Whoa... what happened to my room?

[Anyone who enters room 518 will find themselves in the middle of a field at night, stars scattered all around, galaxies and constellations forming a breathtaking, one-of-a-kind view. As one would expect of Lloyd Irving's headspace, it is mostly empty! However, there are three figures walking in the distance: a woman with brown hair, a tall man who looks suspiciously like Kratos Aurion, and a toddler sitting atop the man's shoulders. They always seem to stay out of hearing distance, but Lloyd chases after them for a while anyway.]

W-- wait! Stop!

[Just seeing that silhouette against the stars makes his heart lurch.]

Mom... Dad...

[ooc: Feel free to find Lloyd moping in his own headspace, or try to catch up with the family up there. Scattered in the grass are blacksmithing plans and crude drawings of mom, dad, a dwarf, and some kind of green dog. :|b]

[Allen was running to get something from his room on the fifth floor when he took a wrong turn without expecting it- and finds himself in a field]

Eh?!

No way I'd get this lost-!

[gentleidealist]

[Lloyd gets up from the rock he was perched on, surprised to see someone else in here.]

... Allen?

[He glances back toward the horizon and the people wandering there, but only briefly.]

Looks like the castle's doing something weird.

[He moves startled a bit at the voice as he looks over] Lloyd?! I didn't know you were-

[Okay calm down not like..you're trespassing or anything, okay he is but shush]

Y-Yeah, I was just on the fifth floor a moment ago...

Where are we?

[gentleidealist]

[It's cool, it's not like Lloyd hasn't done that already.]

This is my room. Or... it used to be. We're close to Iselia-- my hometown.

[He adjusts his gloves rather than staring at the other people out in the field. The taller man twirls the toddler in the air and brings him back down for a hug. There is laughter, and it hurts. He presses his lips into a thin line, but doesn't say anything else.]

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

Iselia? Oh...

[He follows his staring and notices the people, looking a bit surprised. Hey isn't that Kratos?! But...he's not here in Paradisa anymore]

[gentleidealist]

[Lloyd lets out a soft sigh.]

And... that's my mom and dad before something bad happened.

[He turns to look at them, finally.]

I don't remember much of anything since I was really young at the time. But... I remember that Dad used to carry me on his shoulders so I could see the stars better.

You mean...what made you get adopted by your other father. [He knows how hard that stuff can be to talk about, so he's not asking for details but he'll glance at him] You...told me bits of things the last time you were here.

[He looks at the group as well. It's sad, yet at the same time...]

At least..that's a very good memory to have. They all look very happy.

[Colette is checking up on friends, so of course she'd come right away to make sure Lloyd's room didn't turn dangerous or something. Sooooooo have a blonde head poking in the doorway]

Lloyd? Ah, wow...! [so beautiful!]

[gentleidealist]

[Lloyd jerks his head up. He's sitting on a rock all alone in the field, but the sound of her voice draws him out of his thoughts. He spins around.]

Ah-- hey! Colette!

[apologeticangel.livejournal.com]

[she smiles and walks over to sit down next to him on the rock, if there's room]

This is so beautiful!

[gentleidealist]

[He scoots over and wraps his arms around one leg to support himself.] Yeah, it really is. [He takes in the way the moonlight falls across her face, smiles, and glances back toward the horizon. This place is serene, the memories pure, even if they hurt a little.] Doesn't it remind you of somewhere near Iselia?

[There are three figures walking in the distance, though one rides atop another's shoulders. Lloyd's eyes follow them.]

[apologeticangel.livejournal.com]

[she nods, and looks over at Lloyd to see... him looking at someone in the distance. Curious, she looks that way as well and sees....

Oh :(]

Is that...?

[gentleidealist]

[The look in Lloyd's eyes softens.]

Yeah. That's Mom and Dad. When I see them like this, I can almost remember what it was like.

[He lets out a little breath, almost like a laugh.] The castle took Dad's locket, but it gave me this instead. I'm not sure if I should be grateful or really angry.
