FIFTY-FOUR souls » back to normal

[martelandmany]

[She was returned, and she kinda sat there for a minute upon waking up, disoriented and with no real memory of what happened... So she figured, she should probably be at the Center! That's where she usually is, that time of day... Right? Right. So she headed over there, and from the front room of the Center, she puts out this voice entry:]If I can

[fortunefail]

[It's pretty clear from Yuan's voice that he's confused as all hell.]

Martel! When did you get back?

[Voice]

[martelandmany]

I-... Well, this morning, I believe? Didn't I tell you? [A pause, then, in realization:] I didn't did I?

I'm sorry. My thoughts are just-... Well, it's a bit hard to keep things straightened out in my head at the moment. ...I can come home, if you'd like?

[Voice]

[fortunefail]

[That sort of vague response is enough to make Yuan worried. Those damn Malnosso!] Are you at the Welcome Center right now?

[Voice]

[martelandmany]

Indeed. But as I said, I can come home.

[ voice ]

[maybealice]

I'm not sure what I could do but...someone told me that I could help if I wanted to.

[ voice ]

[martelandmany]

Indeed, you can. What sort of job would you most enjoy? Regardless of if you're willing or not, I'd prefer not to put you to a task you'd dislike.

Oh, and might I ask your name? [Somewhat amused:] I suppose this has been a bit out of order.

[ voice ]

[maybealice]

I don't really have any preferrence. That was kind of why they suggested I try to help since...I don't know what I want to do.

Uh, it's Alice. Don't worry about it.

[ voice ]

[martelandmany]

Alright, Alice--It's a pleasure to meet you, by the way. I'm Martel--anyway, I'll keep that in mind. If you'll drop in sometime over the next few days, we can see what suits you.

[Voice]

[eidolon_soul]

[A bit weary-sounding.]

I'm sorry I haven't been able to help, lately. Give me a few days, and I'll be jumping back into that as soon as I'm able.

There haven't been many New Feathers? That's strange. Last month, they were everywhere.

[Voice]

[martelandmany]

It's no trouble, it seems things are pretty quiet, anyway.

And no, I've not seen many, and of the ones I have seen, I can't be certain they didn't just arrive late last month. How often does this happen, the skipping of the New Feather season? I can only remember once since I've arrived...

[Voice]

[eidolon_soul]

I can't remember it happening at all, during the months that I wasn't kidnapped or somesuch. It might be a fluke...or maybe it's a sign of the cycle changing again. Either way, it's probably best to stay alert. Who knows when it could change and we get flooded.

[Voice]

[martelandmany]

Agreed entirely.

You said you'll return 'when you're able'... Has something happened?

voice;

[pathtoseele]

I could help a little.

voice;

[martelandmany]

What sort of help would you care to offer?

voice;

[pathtoseele]

I can't really help any with cooking. But cleaning and getting supplies is petty easy.

voice;

[martelandmany]

Alright, so I'll put you down for those. Not all of the cleaning and supply-runs, of course. It would be more on a 'when you have a free moment, drop by and lend a hand' sort of basis. [A smile.]

Voice

[lilblackfeather]

They brought you back!

Voice

[martelandmany]

So it seems.

How are you? Are you alright?

Voice

[lilblackfeather]

I'm fine! Are you okay?

Voice

[martelandmany]

Indeed. I feel a bit scattered, but I think I'm unharmed.
