001 :: Action/Dictated :: Lobby

[This... was not where he expected to be. That's apparent by the look on his face, which is both confused and cautious. He reaches for something at his side, only to find it missing and a strange book tucked into his hakama-himo where it should have been.

This appears to anger him slightly. He looks suspiciously at his surroundings and whispers to no one in particular.]

...Has he managed to fool us once again?

[Finding no answer or immediate danger in his surroundings, he flips open the book, looking for clues.]

What is this?

It's all right. It's nothing you did.

[Despite the severity of the loss, it wouldn't be enough to keep him from enjoying a bit of tea. It was relaxing, and right now he could certainly use a moment to slow down. He finishes making the green tea, and gestures for Abel to take one.]

Still... lets sit for a while. Perhaps we can relax for a moment or two.

[he is tentative -- hesitating a moment; Abel was the one who suggested tea, it was true, but... this is all...

...

he should at least answer his questions, get him situated... he owed him much more than that, even if the Shinigami couldn't recall the past as Abel did. giving a little smile, he nods and reaches for the other cup.]

Now those are sentiments I can get behind.

[He takes his own tea and finds a place to sit. Since it seemed he had nothing to fear from the man, he allowed himself to relax and gather his thoughts for a while.]

Someone else mentioned something about my own room. Do they take horribly long to find?

[Abel follows suit, sitting opposite him at once of the tables in the kitchen area -- for now, satisfied to cup his mug and leech from its warmth.]

Ah-- no, not at all! They have names on the doors... so, it shouldn't be hard to locate.

There's also a few handy little things I can clue you in on to make life easier here. Like, for example... you can wish up things like, say -- new clothing, or food...? I suppose that kind of thing goes along with the 'fairy tale castle', don't you think?

...My, really?

[It seemed a bit unnatural, and hard to believe. He wasn't sure it would be something he'd do often.]

That really is strange. Can this happen anywhere in the castle?

[He takes a tentative sip of tea to check if it had cooled enough, and when he realized that it had, he took another. He seemed a little more relaxed now.]

[Abel gives a small nod with a smile, glad to see that Jyuu no longer looked as tense as he had before... even if he was sure he'd need some times before he really 'relaxed' here.]

Mm, anywhere at all! But it won't work once you go outside, or say, in the town. [he gestures to the lobby, where the large doors would lead out toward the castle-town below.]

[He looks thoughtful a moment, his eyes on the lobby doorway.]

So you're saying there is more than just the castle? Let me guess - we can leave the castle but not the 'world' we are in now?

[nodding, he finally ventures to take the first sip of his tea -- Jyuu. ;; he missed it.

he missed you ;(]

...Sharp as ever. This is something of a rather elaborate prison. Nicely furnished, too! But a prison, none-the-less.

[and he should warn him about... losses, and...]

...I have a lot to tell you, but... I don't want to overwhelm you.

A prison. That is indeed what it sounds like.

[He rubs his temple. He was already starting to get a headache from the situation.]

...If it can wait, perhaps it's best we discuss it at another time, or I might not remember it all! Is there anything I'll need to know for tonight?

[...ah. Abel looks a little surprised... before shaking his head.]

N-- no, no. Once you find your room, you should be mostly left to your own devices around here.

I guess I should get on with that, then.

[He takes a few more sips of tea.]

We should keep in touch. Can I write to you with this?

[He holds the book up for a moment.]

[keep in touch...

...Abel scratches his cheek, before nodding.]

Mm, if you write my name in a filter... [pardon him -- he'll just be stealing a corner of the page and his own pen from his coat, to demonstrate--] ...only I'll be able to see the message inside.

Well, I guess I should be thankful for small conveniences.

[He watches the demonstration curiously.]

Interesting.

If you need anything, just write to me and I'll get back to you as soon as I see it. [if nothing else, at least he can be someone to rely on.]

I'll give you the names of a few other people you can turn to if things ever go downhill as well, next time we talk. I'll let them know you're here.

[He takes his last sip of tea and stands.]

I take it they might remember me as well?

Mm, that's right. You had a lot of friends, here. I guess some of us were a little closer than others...

[alskjdf close enough to jokingly call you 'mama', anyway.

Jyuushiro is the lone parental figure he's ever known!!!!11 past!you had strange tastes, clearly.]

But that's a story for another time. You should get some rest, J-- ah. [HE'LL GET USED TO THIS AGAIN. NO REALLY.] ...Ukitake.

I'm always grateful for good friends.

[He can't help but smile a little bit - now that he knew a some more, the man's nervous nature seemed more endearing than suspicious. He shakes his head slightly.]

...You can call me Juushirou, if it's what you're used to, Father. I'll get used to it.

[Hell, Shunsui insisted on a first name basis on the first day. Of course they argued about that... but that was a story for another day.]

I guess I have some searching to do. If you'll excuse me...

[a-ah. that smile. ;; his HEART old man...! if he were in another mood, he might've swooned dramatically in a tease, but...

Abel chuckles, pushing up to his feet. Jyuushiro...]

Then please... call me Abel. A friend never has to be so formal with me, and that's something I'll always count you.

Be careful, okay? And you know how to reach me if you need anything. [slkdjf he can't believe you're back...]

Father Abel, for now then. [small chuckle]

[He tucks the journal into his top, and make sure it's secure.]

I will, of course. Goodnight.

[he offers a little wave as Ukitake retreats, waiting til he's gone and out of sight before letting the smile falter.

...well. he supposes... it's a good idea to warn Elektra and Charlie, huh? the castle just got a little more interesting again.

see you later, Jyuu.]
