[Private]

So that's how it is.

Heh.

No wonder things are the way they are.

[he sighs to himself. ]

Next week it'll be five months. Am I on borrowed time now? Until they think I'll stick this time, I bet. How annoying~ ♪

[Colette & Lloyd]

Yo, I kinda invited a friend over for dinner sometime. That's cool, right?

[Yes. He made a friend. Try not to panic. ]

[Jr.]

I don't know if this is a bad time, but were you serious about those gun lessons?

[Clinic personnel NOT affiliated with the Peace Patrol or Martel]

I don't know if I'm wasting your time here, but is there a way to detect brainwashing or something? Couldn't tell you if it was magically or medically done, just asking if it's possible.

[Clark]

[Normally he prefers talking to a person in person, but when a dude can disappear like he did in the meeting? Yeah. No way Zelos is gonna track him down so journal is easier]

Hi. You don't know me, but I got your name from Jr. I'm a friend of Colette and he said that you knew more about the Joshua situation.

I was wondering if you'd be willing to share what you know.

[Church Filter]

[However he will be showing at the church. Abel is a priest, so there's a good chance he'll be here right? Walking in, he's definitely taking assessment of the place. It reminds him of one of those country abbeys scattered across the countryside. Not his top choices of places to go, but he's not uncomfortable at least. He'll call out curiously]

Pastor Abel?

[If he doesn't answer right away, Zelos is fine with waiting. He simply sits, relaxing, in one of the pew and looks around the place and his expression neutral. Probably wondering how much trouble he could get in this church for napping or reading non-religious stuff- and if it'd be worth it]

[OOC: open to anyone who would be at the church. Tags may be slow until this evening]

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

That depends. Do you happen to know the method?

[Abel makes his appearance from the back kitchens, where he'd missed Zelos' entrance -- and gives a little start as he noticed that the church was no longer empty.]

Ah-- I'm sorry... Don't mind me! [thinking he's seated for prayer or contemplation oops did he just disturb you...]

I could give it a shot.

Mind if I ask what this about, exactly?

Not a clue!

Oh. Someone made an accusation of someone being brainwashed annnd I think there's enough evidence that I want to know for sure if it was the castle or not.

Well, there are certain things we can check from a medical stand-point. What makes you think this person's brainwashed?

[Zelos at this point had already pulled out some People's magazine and started to read it, looking up when Abel comes in. Yes. Very deep contemplation here]

Oh- don't worry about it! I'm just waiting for someone.

[...my goddess that man is freakishly tall]

Oh. I don't think anything. But there was an accusation made about someone being brainwashed and there was good enough evidence pointing to a change in behavior in the person.

It could be the castle, buuut I thought it was reasonable enough to look into it!

[NO YOUR FACE IS FREAKISHLY TALL or... something... shut up.

he scratches the back of his head. waiting for someone? Caterina?]

Waiting for someone? Ah-- if you're looking for Miss Caterina, you're probably better off checking her room at this time of day.

Well, what we can do is perform a series of brain scans. [He's not too sure if the clinic has a CAT scanner or an MRI Unit, but his own scanner should be enough...]

Provided that they're a regular human.

Nah, not the lovely Lady Caterina - though I would love to spend more time in her company. [The lady is pretty and smart. he digs it]

I'm actually looking for Abel. Are you him or do you know if he's in?

Erm...far as I know he was a regular human. [Maybe >> ]

Well, if you want, I can always take a wee look and see. Usually, if it's the castle, there's no visible problems.

[He pauses]

I'm Dr. Carson Beckett, by the way.

Okay, great~! I'm Zelos Wilder! Nice to meet you!

Though...it might take a bit to get him in to see you.

[That's fine. Carson won't be able to do anything for about a week, anyway]

Aye, that's not a problem. Just give me a wee shout when you're ready.

[A pause there] And let me know if there's any requirements before, aye?

[Like he needs to be tied down.]

Will do, doctor! ♪

Thanks! [....yeah we'll see how well convincing him goes over :|b ]

Abel? [he points at himself, before coming to a leisurely halt at the end of the pew Zelos' occupied.]

That's me, um... have we met? [no Abel he doesn't recognize you, that would generally be a no...]

Not that I can remember, not that that means much these days...

[But he shrugs with a smile]

I'm the great Zelos Wilder. I'm a friend of Colette's from home.

I'm not sure if I'll be able to tell if it was the castle or not, but I'll still give it a shot.

[friend of Colette's...?

...he can guess what this is about. either something's happened to her because of Joshua, or -- this was part of the patrol's meeting, right? he can imagine, and there's a soft furrow of concern at his brow.]

Is everything alright?

Great! ♥

One problem, it miiight take a bit to get the person in question in.

If it helps, we don't necessarily have to do it in the clinic.

She's not in danger right now, if that's what you're worried about.

[That's the usual first concern of these people anyway. Zelos wouldn't even be here if that was the case]

I'm trying to get all the information I can about Joshua. Your name kept popping up so I decided to meet you.

If this is a bad time, I can come back later.

Hmmm...it might help, yeah.

If we have luck, I'll be in touch, okay~?

[he gives a little nod at the reassurance -- before he's moving to sit a polite distance from his, ah. company.]

No, no-- it's quite alright. Now's as good a time as any, Mr. Wilder. If there's any way I can help Miss Colette, then... I'm at your service.
