Soubi Agatsuma, Spell 1 [Video]

[pinnd_buttrfly]

[The camera turns on to show a man in his early twenties with long, blond hair, glasses, and a concerned expression. He stares intently at the screen for a moment to be sure that the camera is on before he starts speaking in a deep, soft voice.]

Ritsuka, are you here? Are you injured? Call to me and I'll find you.

[Yuiko had been quietly getting along with her homework in her dorm room when she heard something on her communicator. Within a few moments, she picks it up and looks on in surprise. Soon she appears on the screen.]

Ritsuka's somewhere. I don't where exactly though.

[pinnd_buttrfly]

[Soubi's face shows a bit of surprise when he sees Yuiko on the other end of the feed. But he schools his face into a smile quickly: Yuiko is a sweet kid; he won't make her feel sad.]

Yuiko-chan. You've seen him?

[Video]

[pinkhairedkitty]

Yes, he is somewhere, but I don't know where exactly.

[Her ears flatten slightly, half the time she didn't know where he went, at least she knew he might not have been on the island since she doesn't leave there at all.]

Re: [Video]

[pinnd_buttrfly]

[He looks at her through the camera carefully. Yuiko does not have the look of someone who was recently engulfed in mysterious darkness and thrown into a strange place. In fact, all things considered, she looks fairly comfortable. As do all of the other people here. He takes a guess.]

How long have you and Ritsuka been here?

[ Cecil had picked up his communicator with the intent to send Kain a message. Imagine his surprise when he sees a man who looks just like the dragoon, only in modern clothing and spectacles. This... Did Kain decide to shop for other clothing? No... no, this isn't Kain. The facial structure isn't quite the same, nor the eye color. ]

Is Ritsuka a friend of yours, sir?

Re: [Video] DUDE, I just realized. I played FF IV! I just didn't recognize non-pixel image!Cecil. XD

[pinnd_buttrfly]

[Soubi gives him a cold look.]

I am his guardian. If you have seen him, tell me.

[Video] Ah! XD He does look rather different from his old sprite these days, haha.

[proteusmoon]

[ The young man even has a similar frigid glare. Cecil isn't daunted by it though, as he is far too accustomed to dealing with such a temperament thanks to Kain. He and the dragoon weren't always friends, after all... ]

I see... [ The paladin frowns. ] I do not know if I have seen him, but I do know for certain that I have not met anyone by that name. If I come across him, I will inform you immediately. May I ask your name? I am Cecil Harvey.

Much more handsome, I must say.

[pinnd_buttrfly]

Agatsuma.

[Yes, he is being very formal. He hopes never to meet any of these strange people again, honestly. Best to find Ritsuka and go back home.]

[dreamsofouthere]

['Punzel feels sympathy for you, the concern in your voice is obvious]

You're a friend of Ritsuka?

Re: [video]

[pinnd_buttrfly]

[He doesn't recognize this person. It's starting to make him really worried. Where is Ritsuka, and why does everyone but him know?]

I am his guardian. Where is he?

Ritsuka? What's a Ritsuka? Does it taste good?!

Re: video;

[pinnd_buttrfly]

[Small girl. Asking what a "Ritsuka" is. No, not important. Wait... why doesn't she have her ears? Oh no, he really hopes that this isn't what this world is like... He'd better find Ritsuka quickly... He's already walking as he answers.]

No, it does not. He's a person. He is short with dark hair and purple eyes. He is about your age, and he still has his ears. Have you seen him?

[lostblackrabbit]

[Small boy. Dark hair. Purple eyes. Her age. He must mean her human age since even she didn't know her actual age. ...Still had his ears? The description almost fit two boys she knew, tho really she hadn't looked at them long enough to know what color their eyes were nor did she know any earless people. What a strange thing to say. Maybe it was another one of those odd human terms she didn't know.]

Uuh... I don't know what you mean by "still has his ears" all the boys I know have ears. I know one named Oz but he doesn't sound like your person and he's mine anyway! I know another boy who has dark hair and is short. He has both his ears to but is missing an eye. Um, and I know another one that actually has too many ears, dark hair and a tail.

Re: video;

[pinnd_buttrfly]

[What's this about too many ears? He tries to picture a boy with too many ears, and can only come up with a boy who has cat ears on top of his cat ears. But this girl also doesn't understand what it means to still have ears, and she seems surprised by the idea of a tail... could she perhaps have been raised in a place of such widespread abuse that she doesn't understand childhood? He shudders inwardly.

But that is hardly important. The blond boy is obviously not it, nor is the one with too many ears. But the other boy has dark hair and ears. That could be it... only. Only Ritsuka is not missing an eye. Could he have lost an eye in the confusion after the darkness spread? His face pales.]

Where do these people live?

[photogenickitty]

[Sitting on the steps just outside the moogle shop is Soubi's target, Ritsuka. It was after school and as always, when the teen wasn't doing homework or tutoring Yuiko, he was at work. It had been a pretty slow day so a small break couldn't hurt.]

Minc! Minccino~ [His strange new pet cooed by his feet and holds up a pebble it found.]

Hm? Ah, thanks, Soubi... but you don't have to pick up every piece of rubbish you find. [The untamed creature didn't listen of course and continued to sweep around on the steps that Ritsuka was sitting on.]

...You're just as dumb as the real Soubi sometimes. [That... was a very big comfort. Ritsuka continues to contently watch the small animal.]

Re: action;

[pinnd_buttrfly]

[Soubi hears the voice, not far off... a voice almost more familiar than his own. The voice he'd been starting to become really worried he'd never hear again. Instantly the communicator is in his pocket and he's off at a run, following the sound of the voice. In moments he's there, not stopping until he's scooped Ritsuka up in his arms like a tornado of large, worried Fighter.]

Ritsuka, there you are...

[He ignores the creature that has skittered away from his oncoming feet.]

action; 1/?

[photogenickitty]

[The pokemon was the first to react, sensing the man's approach, it stops cleaning and starts to bounce nervously by Ritsuka's feet to try and warm him.]

...Soubi? What's wrong? Is it a Heartless? [Ritsuka stands up so they could leave and looks around anxiously.]

action; 2/?
