ϡ - Chapter TwentySix; And now for something not so different [voice/action]

[folkloristic]

[ There's a loud splash as someone gets dropped off by the droids...in the river by House 35. The figure that steps out from the embankment is not a familiar face. Most people might not recognize him or perhaps you saw him like this once before. But that's neither here, nor there. Yes, her. The voice over the transmission is completely feminine and

[Giles is nearby enough to hear the splash of someone being cruelly deposited in the river. Seeing as how he's on hyperalert for Helios or Buffy, this is his cue to spring into action.

So, as the droids are just tromping away over the horizon, he stumbles to a stop on the edge of the river, looking around wildly.]

Hello? Is someone there? Buffy?

((ooc: Soooo the next time I suggest writing an entry for you, clearly the only reasonably course of action is to virtually smack me *cries*. So glad you went with her, though, I was so bummed that I couldn't participate last time around!

Set during evening patrol?))

[magicboobs]

[ Oh good lord. Giles. So not the person he wanted to encounter right now. ] Ah...n-no. It's just, me, G-Giles.

[ There's some sloshing as Helios makes his way back towards the riverbank. There's a slightly familiar Romanian accent to the voice. Probably the only hinting factor to who it might be. Have so tired sighing too. ]

((ooc; fff it's okay! And that's fine~))

[consultmybooks]

[...hello, strange woman tripping her own two feet.

...hello, strange woman with a Romanian accent tripping over her own two feet.

...wait, wait, seriously, wait, he knows this one...]

...h-hello?

[magicboobs]

[ Giles why are you not...no nevermind. He can't expect you to get it right away. Helios doesn't even get it sometimes. Another sigh as he runs a hand through extra long blonde hair. ]

Helios. It's...me. [ There, said it. And he looks positively mortified and embarrassed and...ah. Just...looking at the ground now. ] The M-Malnosso really are-are terrible when it comes to these effects.

[consultmybooks]

[Oh, Giles got it. It's just...what do you say to that? What do you actually even say to that?

Oh. That's right.]

...I'm glad you're back.

[magicboobs]

[ Nothing Giles. Absolutely nothing...besides that. Helios smiles. ]

I-I'm glad, as well. A-Are you alright? I-I know the droids...they didn't do anything to you, did they? [ There's a pout and a rather concerned look. ]

[consultmybooks]

Knocked me senseless, but, um, they seem to enjoy doing that just on general principle. And Frederic was along soon to wake me up.

...I wasn't taken along with you, if that's what you're afraid of.

[magicboobs]

[ Noticeable sigh of relief . ] Thank goodness. I was...worried a-about that, yes.

So only me then. Good that's, that's good. [ Blink. ] Ah! W-Well not good, good. It's never good, especially when they dump you in the river. Honestly I don't know if it's possible but they should really be taught some manners. Not that the Malnosso have many themselves.

[consultmybooks]

They do seem to have a fondness for dumping people in the river. Haven't the faintest idea why - maybe it helps you shake off whatever they've drugged you with.

[Giles laughs quietly as a thought seemingly strikes him.]

Well, um, if you're up for it...you might have the chance for some friendly payback tomorrow.

lol I got sidetracked watching transformers /fails

[magicboobs]

You might be onto something. I haven't the faintest clue either. I'm just glad it's hot out. Though I rather cool down on my own than being forcibly thrown into a river. [ Just looking down at the wet clothes. And then Helios gives Giles a curious glance. ]

Oh? What kinda of payback are we talking about?

<3

[consultmybooks]

How does watching droids dressed up in ridiculous costumes and performing for our amusement strike you at the moment?

:3 <3

[magicboobs]

[ There is a...very wide smile on his face. ] That. You're not joking, are you?

All the <3 , you know

[consultmybooks]

Do I look as though I'm joking, Helios? [No, Helios, he doesn't. This is the face of a man who has seen the very thing he's proposing and loved every second of it.]

This goes without saying, but you were kidnapped at the worst possible time.

/hoardes them

[magicboobs]

No, no you don't. Which is a much appreciated sincerity. [ This just keeps getting better and better. ]

Ah. It seems as though I was. Just my luck! [ A pause. ] Why, um, exactly are the droids dressing up and such again?

*submits you to Hoarders*

[consultmybooks]

The morning after you were taken...well, we spontaneously acquired an amusement park.

[Giles opens his journal, flips to the first page, and holds it out for Helios. He should be able to read Catherin'es message still there.]

Run and staffed, by and large, by droids.

in b4 arrested for hoarding heartsss

[magicboobs]

An amusement park? With all the amenities I hope? [ Oh man this news? This is amazing news. Helios is rather happy to hear it. He looks over at the journal, can't read, remember? Still he does look a tad bit more excited. ] Wet clothes aside; I do believe you just made my day a great deal better, Giles.

[ He chuckles. ] I definately have to see this.
