2nd Jewel Seed | Action, Kitchen! Open. :3

[hasilluminate]

[Fate wouldn't have left her room under her own power, but now it happens to be missing a door. Fate herself still appears to be slipping between catatonia and awareness, though right now she is on the side of catatonia, her eyes shut and her body curled into a little ball. She has a shiny Raikou curled around her body, nudging her occasionally and

[Well, have a fortune-teller walking right in. He's a bit startled to find a girl here who he doesn't know and who appears to be in such bad spirits, but he doesn't let that be seen.
Ryuutaro points his opened fan at fate]

Is something the matter?

[hasilluminate]

[It's not Fate who responds- she's trying very hard to shut out the outside world, stuck on the fact that the center of her world hates her and would rather her be dead. The Raikou, however, lifts its head and makes a low pleading noise that sounds alien on a creature so close to a lion. It doesn't know what's wrong with its human, but it knows something is, and it can't help her.]

[fortunatefan]

[Ryuutaro doesn't like when people ignore him. Like, at all. So his fan closes and is now appruptly pointed at Fate's face. Because this is how Ryuutaro gets people's attention.]

I think you'd do some good to pay attention to the amount of worry your partner here has for you.

[hasilluminate]

Defenser. [There's a glowing yellow shield between Fate and that fan- not that Bardiche really thinks Ryuutaro is a threat, but he does not appreciate Ryuutaro bitching at his master when she is so very clearly out of it.] Psychological damage sustained. Location unknown.

[Bardiche using her magic is something that grabs Fate's attention- he rarely does such things without reason, though she's having some slight internal argument over it mattering, getting away from whatever would cause Bardiche to cast a defensive spell. She's sitting up a little and looking around. If you're not blind you can probably see despair in pretty much every line of her body.] Where am I?

[psychic_labrat]

*Charles was exploring the halls, Victini clutching at his hair as he strolled, enjoying a pleasant conversation with the little Pokemon when all of a sudden crushing despair struck him like a sledgehammer. He collapsed in the hall, pulling his mind in tightly and slowly breathing until he could separate the emotion from the rest of the world. Victini was trilling at him in concern.*

I'm all right, he projected at her, before she could disappear for help. He got the impression that she was skeptical, but he shook his head and focused on where the mental signal was coming from.

He followed it to the kitchen where he stopped in alarm*

Oh my god.

[hasilluminate]

[The Raikou is looking up and just making a low whuffing sound at Charles and Victini before nudging Fate. She's hungry and he can hear it, but for some reason she won't wake up. Also his head and feet are too big to get at any of the food. He knows something is wrong with his human, but not what.]

[For her part, Fate is not actually asleep... but some of the skills required for her to be a good mage mean she may as well be. She's sort of locked in on herself. There is sound coming from her hand, though, a woman's voice. It's playing back this.]

[psychic_labrat]

*Charles puts a hand to his temple and focuses on the Raikou, getting an image of love, worry, and fear*

Don't worry, I'll see what I can do to help.

*he knelt down next to Fate and touched her forehead to see if she had fever of some kind. The despair was wrapped thick in the air about her, and it was difficult to focus on anything else. He narrowed his power to just the kitchen to get rid of any other distractions*

Victini, will you get me a small glass from the cupboard and fill it with water? *The small creature chirped and did as asked, using its tails to fly up onto the counter*

Miss, can you hear me?

[hasilluminate]

[She's-- not really paying attention to anything beyond her mother hates her, she's just a horrific mimicry of a human being, and her beloved mother, who she remembers being so kind... would rather see her dead. The Raikou, for his part, is nudging Fate with his nose to no effect.]

[blondmage]

[Fai had been quietly cooking within the kitchen, cutting up some vegetables readying them for later on today. Once he had managed to get that sorted he put them away in the freezer and started to finally make what he had been planning to today. He turned his head as he had to go get something from behind when he spotted someone.]

Hello there. Are you okay?

[hasilluminate]

[Nope. She's not okay, and her Raikou is sort of rumbling unhappily. There is a slightly mechanical voice coming from one of her hands, which is curled closed. It's male, even!]

Negative. Psychological damage sustained. Location unknown. [Not that Bardiche is bitching about the situation or anything...]

[blondmage]

[Watching her slightly for a moment, although he did hear or so he though what appeared to be a voice, but it wasn't hers. Carefully going up to her he knelt down to her level.]

Your location is known as the manor.

[hasilluminate]

[This answer is not satisfactory to Bardiche. What world, you crazy blond man.] Location 'Manor' unknown, possibly an unadministrated world.

[everythings_mom]

[Well mama dragon had meandered her way into the kitchen to feed a happy and bouncy Happiny, when she spotted what looked to be an ill-looking human girl. Disregarding the animal around her, she places a hand on the girl's back]

Dear, are you alright?

[hasilluminate]

[Lady, you are powerful and Bardiche is a bit protective of his master.] Defenser. [Enjoy having your hand shoved back by a glowing yellow barrier!]

[everythings_mom]

[Hm. Strange little barrier. Going to just push through that and pet the girl's back anyway.]

Dear? Are you ill?

[because mama can fix that]

[hasilluminate]

[Fate's getting woken up a little by that tug on her magic, though- especially something breaking a barrier.]

[Um. What. Lady, what are you doing and whose familiar are you.]
