001 [ dictated / action ]

[quarterelf]

Tokunaga? [The voice is quiet at first over the journal, hesitant and confused before Seles takes a moment to look at her surroundings. Extravagant, open, and large...] ...This isn't His Majesty's... [Her thought trails off as her eyes find their way to the open journal on the stand nearby, and she's equally startled at the way she can see her words appear. There's a loud gasp and she slams the journal shut and takes off down the hall.

Was she being watched...?! The way she got here wasn't the only thing she couldn't remember either, though most thoughts were out of her mind at the moment thanks to the immediate panic and shock. And worry, of course. What kind of magic was this?! She had to find out what was going on!

Honestly, with her attire it's not so easy for her to hide. But still she tries, sneaking down the halls and hiding behind plants, peering from around corners and into doors, and generally being a snoop. A very bad quality snoop.

Feel free to run into her anywhere in the castle!]

What are you doing?

[ Girl and direwolf stare. ]

[quarterelf]

[W-wait, she was spotted?! She straightens herself just a bit, trying to make herself a bit more ladylike so she can accept this properly!

But then:] I-I wasn't doing anything!

[persequor]

[ Arya only raises an eyebrow. ]

You looked like you were trying to sneak around. Is this the first you've seen of this place?

[wagers]

[Here, have a weird girl in orange pajamas flying around and.... yeah, almost running into you when she turns a corner maybe????????]

[quarterelf]

Oh--! [She nearly does run into her, stumbling a bit to recover from the shock as her face echoes her mind.]

Excuse... me? [That was meant to be an 'excuse me!' as she rushed past, but she's entirely caught up in the appearance of this girl now. Mostly her pajamas believe it or not is that fashion anywhere.]

[wagers]

[Wow, why do so many people knock the god tier outfit? Are they jealous? What the frick? Not that Vriska's actively thinking this, of course, because come on. She knows it's pimp.

(In the meantime, though, she'll simply hover above this other girl's head, staring down at her!]

Wow! Can a troll never fly in peace around here?

[wilder]

[Zelos is in the kitchen. He hadn't been paying attention to the journal and instead was bored. And what does one do when you're bored? Sabotage all the kitchen appliances of course! So he's whistling to himself as he casually throws a bar of sodium into the dishwasher and shuts the door, not yet noticing Seles.]

1/2

[quarterelf]

[Wait... is that?! She might have spent more attention on the actual actions of Zelos if it hadn't been so long since she'd last seen him. And here he was, in this strange place?

Her natural instinct of course is to call out to him.]

Big bro--!

[quarterelf]

[But she cuts herself off in a rush and ducks under a table or behind something in the kitchen, holding her breath. What was she doing?! She couldn't just run up like that when he goes so out of her way to avoid her, right?

... Right. Staying hidden, she focuses on the floor and the sounds around her, thinking of what to say when she finally does approach him. Maybe something like, fancy seeing the Chosen One here...! Yes, that would work perfectly...]

1/2

[wilder]

[He freezes when he hears that voice. Even if it's been over a year since he's been home, even if it's been so long since he's seen Seles- he knows that voice. He will always know that voice. Completely forgetting the dishwasher, he can't help but jerk his head to look in the direction he heard it from]

Seles?!

[wilder]

[- But he looked too late, she had already ducked away and he sees nothing but air where she was before. Sure, he's got good enough hearing to possibly hear her out if he wished to but....]

[He shakes his head a bit, dismissing that possibility and refusing to look further. There was no way Seles was in Paradisa, right? She was safe and sound back home. And even if she was here....well, she wouldn't be calling him that name, that's for sure]

[So he makes a "heh" noise to himself, before smirking a bit to himself, a humorless one in all]

...Must be just hearing thing.

[heal_theworld]

[Martel is walking through the halls and sees a girl out of the corner of her eye run and hide behind a plant. She blinks, because...well. And then she feels a mana signature, and realizes she's an Aselian. Oh. She calls out from where she's standing:]

...Are you all right? [And not scared of her because, haha, goddess?]

[quarterelf]

[First she freezes and tries to stay hidden behind this skinny plant here in the hall. But. It's pretty clear this woman has spotted her. Oh, no, she probably looked so foolish, sneaking around like this.

No way was she going to look like that!

Stepping out she brushes off her skirt.]

O-of course! I was simply... looking for something I've lost.

[heal_theworld]

[Martel stares at her, and notices how similar she is to Zelos in appearance and mana signature. Didn't Zelos say he had a sister...?]

Did you...just arrive here?

actionnn

[not_mafia]

[And Tsuna's walking down the hall when he sees Seles peeking into a room. And he just sort of... stops and stares because lol what is she doing really.]

... uh...

actionnn

[quarterelf]

[She doesn't notice him right now, too caught up in her own thoughts as she stands back straight from her peering into the room. No luck. Quietly she closes the door, hand hesitating on the handle as she glances to the floor.]

How could this be... [How could she get here? Where were the others, and... And why couldn't she remember?! It's a rather quiet voice, though, and she only spots Tsuna just as she's turning to walk to another door, appearing startled and guilty.]

Y-you there! [It just sort of came out, excuse her]

[not_mafia]

[LMAO Tsuna just stares at her when she speaks to him in that accusing tone. Especially when she had been the one acting so suspiciously.]

Um... are you... looking for someone?

[huffythedragon]

[You know what's always comforting to have watching you? A tiny little dragon]

...Uh, are you okay? You look lost.

[quarterelf]

Huh?!

[Forgive her, she knows what a dragon looks like but this is just startling. ...Um. Still, she recovers from her shock quickly enough and pretends she wasn't about to hide behind that corner she's standing by.]

I'm... I'm just fine, thank you. Who might you be?

[ninjainviolet]

[It had taken her a while, but after her conversation with Raine, Sheena had decided to wish for seeds for the herbs from home. She knows she could have done the wishing anywhere in the castle, but she feels more comfortable in her room speaking to thin air.

Upon exiting, she spots a familiar mushroom-shaped hat down the hall and rubs her eyes against the "illusion".]

Seles?

[quarterelf]

[Well Seles had been spying around quietly, peeking in a door here and shutting it again when she meets disappointment with a sigh. But turning around, that is not who she expected to see. Or recognize...

Sheena your illusion is about to be shattered as Seles nearly doubles back in surprise, clutching her hands near her chest.]

T-the evil witch! What are you doing here! [SHE'S STARTLED OKAY]

[pocketmage]

[ Genis wasn't too fond of the castle, sure, but he still lingered a lot- probably because practically everyone he met here lived in it, besides Lloyd and the others.

He wasn't expecting to see someone pretty familiar hiding behind a plant, though- he didn't connect the dots at first, but there was something about her... ]

Uh... are you okay?

[quarterelf]

[Since Seles hasn't met the group Zelos is with yet, the presence only startles her and she lets out a quiet gasp as she's spotted. Quickly, to cover up, she steps around from behind the plant, tugging awkwardly at her hat.]

I'm fine, thank you! [That was a bit rushed, wasn't it? How suspicious.] I was just... I'm looking for someone, that's all.

[cheerupemoborg]

[After that little ninja excursion, Hank is in a sour mood (what else is new), and can be found stomping past the hall she's in. He stops, however, when he notices her.]

...if you're following me, be warned: I am not in the mood for children's games.

[quarterelf]

[Well that's intimidating to say the least. She flinches and freezes in spot, peering out from her hiding spot before she steps out a little.]

I'm not trying to play any games! I'm just... finding my way around, that's all.
