One more time with feeling

[Dhaos isn't quite sure what had happened; one moment he was bleeding out from a fatal wound, alone but for his murderers and worlds away from home. ...And then he blinked.

He's not sure where he is now. Not the afterlife certainly; he can still acutely feel the pain from the gaping hole in his abdomen and his vision is going. That blur on the edge of his vision looks a rather lot like it might be a gurney though. ...Is this a medical facility?

The thought prompts Dhaos to begin gathering up the last bits of spare magic from his reserves to cast a healing spell. If he can keep himself alive long enough for someone to notice him, perhaps there's a chance he can recover enough to complete his mission...]


((ooc: Dhaos has returned, and this time the castle had the courtesy to drop him in the Clinic instead of in the front hall. Feel free to bother him~))

[ Kirby had been on his usual bored stroll around the castle when he peeked into the clinic.

Only to see a familiar face dying in the middle of it.

The puffball squeaked in shock and ran immediately to his friend's side, not knowing that he wasn't remembered and peering over him with fright. ]
P-Poyo-okay?! Poyo!

[ He would be causing quite a ruckus with his freak-out, knowing he couldn't do anything to help. What could he do, what could he do...

Kirby ran for the doorway and shouted as loud as he could. ]


POYO!!!
takethat: Phoenix as he usually appears--bright eyes, happy smile. (concerned)

[The noise can be heard from a fair distance outside the clinic, and Phoenix hurries over when he hears the panicking puffball.]

Kirby? What is it??
chubbycreampuff: (oh GOD what is that)

[personal profile] chubbycreampuff 2012-07-19 12:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Kirby pointed inside the clinic room frantically before running in, needing Phoenix to see him. Help him? ]

Poyo, poyo poyo! [ he would continue, panicked. ]
takethat: Phoenix staring with huge, wide eyes, and a word bubble that says "....." (shocked)

[personal profile] takethat 2012-07-19 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's been a little while since Phoenix has seen Dhaos around, and to be fair, he hadn't even known he'd been missing from Paradisa--he barely knew Dhaos at all. When he peers at the person inhabiting the clinic bed and so worrying Kirby, he's shocked.]

H-holy crap! That guy...! What happened to him??
chubbycreampuff: (sad)

[personal profile] chubbycreampuff 2012-07-20 12:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Kirby would run to the bed and float on, exhaling as he landed. He seemed to have stopped glowing, the puffball realized, worried by how he suddenly seemed to zone out.

Taking a shaky breath, the puffball very gently shook Dhaos' arm. ]


Poyo... [ he would try gently, not understanding that he had healed himself. Besides, he still looked terrible. ]
takethat: Phoenix as he usually appears--bright eyes, happy smile. (hmm)

[personal profile] takethat 2012-07-20 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Kirby... Kirby, I don't think you should shake him.

[Just staring at the injured person on the bed, he's not sure exactly what to do.]

I've heard this kind of thing is pretty common here, but... given the recent murder... maybe it's something that needs to be checked out.

[He speaks to Kirby even as he's leaning over Dhaos, peering around for the now-vanished wounds.]

Do you think a doctor's seen him?
chubbycreampuff: (ooooh shiny)

[personal profile] chubbycreampuff 2012-07-21 01:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Kirby would nod, still a bit panicked, looking up to Phoenix. Would they go looking? ]

Poyo poyo! [ they had to try! ]

Timeskip...Recovery Time

[personal profile] ninjainviolet 2012-07-22 08:34 am (UTC)(link)
For the past couple of days, Sheena had had an upset stomach. Not as bad as some of the other residents seemed to have had, but enough of one to alarm her. At first, she had thought it was connected to recent events, but she was made of sterner stuff than to let a gruesome sight like the one she saw bother her.

Now, an unexplained illness--that was another matter. She was on a strange world and could be susceptible to anything. So, she was headed to the clinic in the castle when she felt something...odd...and this time, although eerily familiar, it wasn't her stomach. And just as quickly as the feeling came over her, it was gone.

She was almost to the clinic when it happened again--only stronger. And now, she was able to identify the sensation. Someone was using mana! Was it coming from there? It had to be. And if it was the clinic, it meant someone was hurt. Raine maybe? Forgetting her original reason for going, she began hurrying to see if it was her friend, only to be stopped at the door by both a doctor and nurse who told her to wait while they worked on the patient--without magic.

Finally, after what seemed an eternity, they moved away, and Sheena stepped inside, expecting the worse. Only to be surprised upon discovering that the mana-user had to be the blond man in the bed.

"He used mana?" she asked aloud of no one.
ninjainviolet: ([Surprise2])

[personal profile] ninjainviolet 2012-07-30 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Sheena's head is tilted slightly as she also takes in him and his own signature. She isn't as good as Genis or Raine, but this close, she can feel something from him.

And things suddenly get weird when he figures her out.]


How...How did you know?
ninjainviolet: ([Dejected])

[personal profile] ninjainviolet 2012-07-31 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sheena gapes at him a moment.]

What do you mean "humans can learn" to be summoners? [She shakes her head.]

I think you're confused. I'm the only summoner on my world, and it's not because I learned, but because I have the ability to make a pact with a Spirit.

[Her eyes narrow.]

You're the second person I've heard use the word "Aselia"...

But my planet is called Tethe'alla.

[Sheena has her own moment of realization.]

Time travel?
ninjainviolet: ([Battle Ready])

[personal profile] ninjainviolet 2012-08-02 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
[She cocks her head slightly.] Four thousand years? Humans weren't able to summon four thousand years ago...

[Her voice trails off and she takes a step back, her guard immediately up and she's in her battle stance without a thought.]

Who are you? And how do you know my name?
ninjainviolet: ([Think])

[personal profile] ninjainviolet 2012-08-02 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
[What did he expect? He knows her name, but she has no idea who he is. Of course she's going to get defensive. She's not too thrilled about his tone of voice, taking it to mean he thinks she's stupid, but she listens to what he has to say, her hands dropping to her sides and her eyes widening in disbelief.]

Four thousand years in the future? [It's not that part that confuses her, since she's seen the castle's habit of pulling people from different times first hand. It's the whole being a legend thing that makes her look at him askance.]

A legend? Me? But I didn't do anything. Lloyd's the one who joined the worlds. [Thinks a moment.]

Maybe he was able to convince the Spirits to make the pacts with him?
ninjainviolet: ([Think])

[personal profile] ninjainviolet 2012-08-03 08:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, she's been talked down to all her life by nobles, so if he has the same tone, then yeah, she's not going to like it. But that's not enough to kill someone. Smack them if they say the wrong thing, but not kill.]

Vital? Me? [Technically, she's the one who started all the trouble by forming the pacts to begin with and taking the Spirits away from Mithos. Of course, that only helped Lloyd in the end, since Origin would only work with her--but you can't tell Sheena that.]

Oh, yeah. The Spirits make the pacts with someone who "has the right" to make the vow. [You can practically hear the quotes as she speaks.] It's possible that after so many years, the Spirits have discovered that full humans have also earned the ability.

[If that can be traced back to Lloyd's group regaining their trust, she'd be impressed.]
ninjainviolet: ([Surprise2])

[personal profile] ninjainviolet 2012-08-09 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
Magitech? [Sits heavily on a nearby chair.]

It came back? But that's what caused the world to be split in the first place! And the tree... [The tree whose seed Lloyd and saved and named.] It almost happened again?

[She looks at him.]

They refused to listen? Why? Wasn't the history known?
ninjainviolet: ([Determination])

[personal profile] ninjainviolet 2012-08-11 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
The-- The Mana Cannon? Of all the things to build! [She knows just how powerful that thing is, and can't believe people of his time hadn't realized that. She looks at him in shock for several long minutes in silence before she finds her voice, which is tinged with anger.]

And the other part... Because you're a half-elf?

[The anger's not directed at Dhaos but at the idiots 4000 years in her future who hadn't learned a thing.]

[They wouldn't need to write their own history books. Just borrow the ones from Sheena's world and put their name on it--since it's so similar.

Her eyes widen and the corner of her mouth quirks a little.]


A demon? Funny, but you don't look like one.

[She fought against a few while traveling, and he looks nothing like them.]
ninjainviolet: ([Sweet Concern])

[personal profile] ninjainviolet 2012-08-22 08:16 am (UTC)(link)
[That's not really a good thing...]

No, they don't. But if it helps, I don't think you look like one.

[At least not the ones she's seen.]
ninjainviolet: ([What])

[personal profile] ninjainviolet 2012-08-22 09:25 am (UTC)(link)
[She tilts her head.]

Why do I have the feeling we're talking about two types of demons now?

[Sounds like her and Mizuho. Yes, she's their chief, but she's sworn to protect everyone on the planet.]
ninjainviolet: ([Think])

[personal profile] ninjainviolet 2012-08-25 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
A very long time.

So, what are the demons like in your time?
ninjainviolet: ([Concerned])

[personal profile] ninjainviolet 2012-08-28 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[Any further questions she has about the demons are halted by his words and reaction. Is he in pain?]

Dhaos? Are you all right?
Edited (Yep! He told her his name! (Sorry)) 2012-08-28 21:26 (UTC)
ninjainviolet: ([Concerned])

[personal profile] ninjainviolet 2012-08-28 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh yeah, like that'll dissuade her.]

Dhaos, what is it?
ninjainviolet: ([Concerned])

[personal profile] ninjainviolet 2012-08-28 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay. You don't want to say anything, but if you do, I'll be willing to listen.
ninjainviolet: ([Concerned])

[personal profile] ninjainviolet 2012-08-31 08:59 am (UTC)(link)
All right. I won't push you.

[Although he's been physically injured, she has a feeling what's bothering him is more emotional in nature.]
ninjainviolet: ([Concerned])

[personal profile] ninjainviolet 2012-09-01 07:45 am (UTC)(link)
[She tilts her head as she observes him for a moment.]

Is there anything you need? Anything I can get you?

[To Sheena, "need" and "want" can be two different things.]
