[001] Voice/Action

[oldest7yearold]

 [It appeared that bridge whose name Luke had been fretting over had just become the least of his worries.

So yeah, he'd found that music box, and yeah, the music had been kind of pretty and he might have zoned out a bit while listening to it, but... he couldn't  have like... fallen apart and died that quickly, could he? Without even noticing? But

[ It doesn't take long to come to the realization of the voice beyond the feed. Smile breaching it's limits, the boy hastily moves to turn on the Seal's view-- eagerly awaiting the sight of his friend. ]

Oh, Luke! You're here as well?

[Oh Ion. You're so sweet, trying to make him feel better, but now he's half convinced he must be dead because the last time he saw you...

Which is why he's frozen stiff, staring at the seal and his friend, his first real friend outside the manor...] Ion...

[... c'mon, Luke, you don't want Ion to start worrying about you or anything. He forces a slight smile.]I guess. Where's here?

It's good to see you again. [ Don't think that you can try to pull a fast on one of your dearest BFFs. Judging from his reaction, it was almost too clear that Luke had come from a time after his passing. It was a shame as worry slowly crept into the boy's expression.

Still, his smile remained. ] This world is called Splendor-- somewhere completely different from our own.

You too. [Luke will try, but he will be forever oblivious to the fact that he is as transparent as the seven year-old that he is. And you being dead in his time is only half the problem bff. ]

But... how does that work? How did we get here? [Note of definite worry here] What happened to Auldrant? Things aren't done yet, I have to go back. [soon. Before his own clock starts running out.]

[ He gives a small nod. Be it a little selfish, but Ion was glad to see Luke here, if only for a short while. ]

You saw a music box when you arrived, correct? That seems to be the cause of people coming here-- whether in death or not. [ A small beat. ] I'm sure Auldrant is fine, for the mean time there are no specific means of returning home. I'm sorry.

[The music box... He remembered that... Though that one last part is not doing much to allay Luke's fears] In death? [No no no we're steering away from that topic now.

... which is easy enough... no way to get back?] Well, yeah it's fine now, but... is there really no way to go back? Dammit...

[daathicdocile]

[ A simple nod. ] Yes.

As of right now, no. Though I there have been reports of people returning-- just not by their own means.

S-so... does that mean I really am dead? [there's no surprise there. Merely resignation, and no small measure of fear.

And he... really doesn't know what to say to the rest of that, because... if he really was dead? He wouldn't want to go back would he? There would be nothing left for him...]

[daathicdocile]

Dead? Oh no, you're not dead, Luke! [ Why would he even think about that? ]

[[ooc; Well, all life is a learning experience and I'm learning I need to check the overall continuity of my posts more often...]]

[ ... NOT TELLING

After a bit of hesitation he meets Ion's eyes and... he seems to mean it. Or at least he believes it. Besides, he had mentioned that people could be alive when they came too... Dammit he was freaking out too much about this. Ion was almost certainly worried now.]

[oldest7yearold]

S-so, uh... do you maybe want to meet somewhere? It might be less confusing if we're not talking like this [He means over the seals. It's also a very convenient way to buy time.]

video; All's well that ends well. B)

[daathicdocile]

[ Ion could instantly sensed the force of hesitation, the earnestness in his eyes growing. Was this something that was really troubling Luke? He felt a ping of guilt for maybe making the situation worse, but once the other changed the subject, Ion found himself letting a breath of air he didn't notice he was keeping in. ]

Ah, yes. Of course. [ He nods, trying to push a small smile to his lips. ] Please stay where you are-- I'll come to you!
