1st category - human. [ accidental dictated and action ]

[radiantwinged1.livejournal.com]

[ The journal opens at the same time that someone sounds like they jumped the last four steps of the stairs. The exhale after it sounds like who ever it was didn't realize it was the last four steps rather than the last two.

But to anyone watching, it should be clear that Duke hadn't jumped stairs. In fact, he'd dropped from... no where, and landed wobbly. He straightens, and turns slightly to look about. ]

... Dark... Did the lights ... no, even without Brave Vesperia... The spirits would... The garden is too dark... [ He takes a step, and nearly stumbles. Startled, and a weakly amused noise. ]

... Injuries more severe than thought... Definitely ...strong... [ He's just going to stand there, slightly slouched because fighting a group of four heroes thrice in a row, despite magical boost and healing in between... isn't exactly easy on the body. There are scraps of fletching in his hair, his coat is cut and torn, singed, soaked and frosted, and the beginnings of bruises are showing on his pale face. ]





[ooc: Duke is in the lobby, and despite all his talk of night, it most definitely isn't. He won't be able to answer anything written, but if you want your characters to figure this out, I'm okay with replying "sorry, he hasn't noticed" if you want to have to swap to dictated! just... note. Or something. Have fun~]

I... see. [ And then an awkward pause-and-expression because he can't exactly - and he really doesn't want to think on that so he's latching onto her words.

Lost memories of something important.

.... ]

... that.. would be worse than a sense, perhaps..

[rhymebell.livejournal.com]

Well, either way. The situation is what you make of it.

[radiantwinged1.livejournal.com]

..... [ He's just going to awkwardly stand there. ]

... Very.. true. [ Slightly more awkward is the fact he has no idea where he is, and turning to try to find out ends up with him finding the wall. Fortunately, it's with the toe of his boots rather than his face, but still awkward. ]

[rhymebell.livejournal.com]

[She just watches.]

That's a wall. You're in Paradisa, in the castle.

[radiantwinged1.livejournal.com]

[ Not.. that he can tell. Carefully feeling, and yep, that most definitely is wall.

Not that he has to turn his head toward where he thinks she stands to indicate he's talking to her, to watch her, but he does so anyway. ]

....Inside, then.. it is good that I found a wall...

[rhymebell.livejournal.com]

Do you want to sit down?

[She's careful not to touch him, but it might be the best for him if he did.]

[radiantwinged1.livejournal.com]

Sit...? [ Now that he thinks about it, sitting would be a good idea wouldn't it. He starts to look for someplace to do so, before twitching to a stop. He can't see chairs, or anything like that to sit on if there were even any in the area. ]

...Which direction?

[rhymebell.livejournal.com]

Here.

[She gently grabs his hand and leads him to a chair.]

Sit.

[radiantwinged1.livejournal.com]

[ He does his best not to twitch away from from the the contact, and follows. A chair? He feels about, making sure he won't try sitting on the edge, and then sits. ]

Thank you...

[rhymebell.livejournal.com]

It's no problem. I'm Rhyme, by the way.

[She looks around, not exactly sure how to handle someone who just lost their eyesight, but she'll just be kind to him. A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, right?]

Do you want something to drink?

[radiantwinged1.livejournal.com]

... Duke. [ A startled, or confused, blink. Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, but someone who's not used to sugar? Hmm. ]

... [ Just.. confusion. ]

.... no.. need...?

[rhymebell.livejournal.com]

Well, is there anything you need? We could go find your room if you want to.

[radiantwinged1.livejournal.com]

... I have a room? [ Blank blinking. ]

... It provides, after taking? This castle.

[rhymebell.livejournal.com]

As soon as you got here, you had a room. It has your name on it and everything, since you can't go home.

[radiantwinged1.livejournal.com]

..... Is there a way to find it without having to walk through the entire castle? [ Castles are castles, and castles are large, in Duke's memory. ]

[rhymebell.livejournal.com]

I could go look for it while you stay here. I wouldn't mind.

But otherwise, no.

[radiantwinged1.livejournal.com]

... [ An uneasy shift. He's not crippled, just blind. And sore, bruised, exhausted. ]

...You do not have to trouble yourself.

[rhymebell.livejournal.com]

[She knows, but he's not used to it.]

Well, we could wish you there. That works too.

[radiantwinged1.livejournal.com]

... Wishing. [ Incredulous. ]

Such things work?

[rhymebell.livejournal.com]

Yes. Here, they do.

[radiantwinged1.livejournal.com]

.... [ No idea what to say about that. Well, maybe.. ]

.. Have you tested with using wishing to find locations?

[rhymebell.livejournal.com]

Why don't we just go through the castle and look?

[radiantwinged1.livejournal.com]

.... Very well. [ He'll get up, then stand awkwardly. ]

...what direction...?

[rhymebell.livejournal.com]

Um...[Just grabs his hand.]

Here, this will be easier.

[radiantwinged1.livejournal.com]

..... [ Slightly embarrassing. ]

... Very well. [ He'll wait for a tug or something for direction. ]
