Oh god voice testing

[It was hard getting used to life as nobility again. Guy kept finding himself doing things - getting the groceries, making himself meals, even cleaning - things that the maids would usually do for a count. He knew he was probably looked down on it, and that Peony was encouraging him to hire some maids (which tended to present its own problems), but... it felt too weird, going from the one serving others to the one being served.

As such, he's done a little grocery shopping of his own today. He's a bit preoccupied looking down at said groceries, making sure he's got everything.

And then he looks up.]


Oh man, now where am I?

[It takes him less than half a second that none of the buildings here look like those in Grand Chokmah. He looks behind him, back the way he came from. Nothing there. And so he wanders, looking for some sign of how to get home. Holding a bag of groceries he really will need to put down sometime...]

[Well. Luke wasn't expecting wings anyway. He just... thought Guy was still from Auldrant, but maybe... maybe remembered his time in Luceti.

Had this been some time ago, even a month or two after Guy left, Luke probably wouldn't take the offer. But with so much happening... He hesitates for a second before he goes forward again to hug him once more. It's an affectionate one, too, though not too long; after a few seconds, he gives him an extra squeeze, pats his back, then steps back and wipes a thumb under his eye. Ha... Luke must seem like a mess or something right now.]


... Huh? How?
fabrecation: (Back up a second there)

[God, it just... feels so good to have this again. His best friend, right here, and...

... Wait, hold up - ]


... You don't know?
fabrecation: (I don't need any help)

Oh...

[He can't help being a little disappointed. He was wrong after all... Guy didn't remember. Maybe they just hadn't seen each other for a while in Auldrant. So he wouldn't know anything, about Luceti, about Luke's life, about... Asch.]
fabrecation: (We can feel a change is coming)

[... But it's okay. It's still Guy, memories or not. And now, this just means that he has a lot more to talk to him about.]
fabrecation: (Chase this light with me)

3/3

Don't freak out or anything, okay?

[He smiles, because hey, what's one little setback? And instead of dwelling on it further, he tugs on his jacket a bit, then turns so that his back is facing Guy, and pulls his jacket down to his elbows to let his wings show. They're small and the color of his hair, though a little lighter thanks to their time in the sun, and fade to blond at the ends, just like his hair from back then. They twitch slightly under the attention, and Luke glances over his shoulder to smile sheepishly.]

They're wings.
fabrecation: (Hey now.)

[Luke makes a face at that, and he pulls his jacket back up over his shoulders, covering the wings, to turn and give him the full extent of his displeasure.]

They're not a fashion statement! You think I want them there?
fabrecation: (Just one more hour)

[... Luke lets out a sigh, looking away as he does so. Yeah, he has a feeling Guy isn't going to like where this is going.]

They were attached to me when I was brought to Luceti... Another world. I can't just get them off, though; If they get cut off, then... I'd end up dying.
fabrecation: (My name...)

[Luke sounds a little resigned as he speaks. He doesn't like it, but at the same time, there isn't a lot he can do about it. He knows Guy is getting angry, and he knows why, but it still makes him want to withdraw. He doesn't really like it when Guy is mad.]

They're called the Malnosso. They're doing it to... experiment on us. They want to get back to their home, so... they're using us to find a way out. [That's what he gathered, anyway.]

The problem is, a lot of experiments are just... cruel. And sometimes I can't even get the point of them... and the war...

[He has to stop there. The drafts bring back bad memories.]
fabrecation: (I don't need any help)

[personal profile] fabrecation 2011-12-15 10:08 am (UTC)(link)
[He notices. And he looks down at it, because it's easier and, as Guy thought, comforting. Easier than looking at his eyes, anyway.

Luke has to pause and frown slightly, too, because Luceti's calendar just works so differently from Auldrant's. He'd been in Luceti for... how long? A little more than a year? So, in Auldrant time, that's...]


Six or seven months ago...?
fabrecation: (Ever get the feeling you're the elephant)

[personal profile] fabrecation 2011-12-29 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I... I know.

[He knows it's hard to believe. He knows it, and yet he still feels frustrated over it. How else is he supposed to explain and make it believable? It is real!]

Look, time passes by differently there! While I'm there, Auldrant kind of... stops for a while. So when I get back, it'll be like nothing happened to me.
