4th Wall Shenanigans!

[markofthebrave]

[Whelp. Katara has no idea what's going on here. Suddenly, everything is crowded and there are people without wings and this isn't madness - it's LUCETI. So. She's just going to shrug and roll with it, basically.

Saturday has Katara out running errands and visiting friends, then making dinner for the house and practicing by the river in the evening.

Sunday has Katara sneaking away for a little bit and winding up in the hot springs. Masaomi's party had been a great idea, okay? And surely nothing weird would go on there, right?]

Comments

Saturday!

[unblessed]

[Okay, this... probably isn't a good thing. How does someone lose the entire group they're traveling with, right? Aya's gonna be mad.

Whatever Katara happens to be doing, she will be interrupted by a lost, redheaded boy looking for some help!]

Um... Excuse me?

oh yay! also 1/?

[markofthebrave]

[Turning...]

[markofthebrave]

[Light of recognition! Hey, she knows you!]

[markofthebrave]

[...wait. Is that Capell or Sigmund, because she and Sigmund kind of ended on Bad Terms and that was never completely resolved.]

[markofthebrave]

[Hmmm....]

[markofthebrave]

[Well, it's been a while, so she's not one hundred percent confident in her visual cues. But. She is fairly sure that Sigmund would never let loose such a tentative "Excuse me."]

Capell!

done!

[markofthebrave]

[Right, you don't mind running hugs from pretty brunettes, do you Capell?]

You're back!

baww now I feel bad that he doesn't know her, ahaha.

[unblessed]

[He certainly doesn't mind! Except this comes as quite the shock to him.]

Wha...? H-hey, wait a minute...!

[unblessed]

[...wait, did she just call him Capell? Oh dear. While he doesn't push her away, Capell tries to straighten up a little and takes on a more serious tone.]

I-I'm sorry, you must have mistaken me for someone else.

That's OK! She's used to it, sadly. At least she didn't start blathering about Katie.

[markofthebrave]

[Oh, well, that's ok, she'll just disentangle herself from him on her own and take a few steps back to give him a searching look.]

No, I didn't. [She spent a week with him in a cell, she's sure of her identification of him now.] You just don't remember me, do you.

/adds to all the heartbreak...! ;_;

[unblessed]

[Capell tilts his head at her a little. When he speaks again, he drops the serious tone, genuinely curious about the girl who just gave him a hug.]

I'm sorry, but... do we know each other?

.../sob, yes

[markofthebrave]

[Okay, yes. This hurts every time. But she does manage to smile! It's a totally convincing one, right?]

We did. But you've forgotten. Don't worry about it, it happens more often then you'd think.

[She squares her shoulders.] Did you just get here?

[How is she going to explain this to Katie?]

[unblessed]

Forgotten? [That's a pretty weird thing to say...] I'm not sure what I was supposed to remember.

[He doesn't see how he could forget meeting someone like this! He scratches his head awkwardly. To answer her question...]

Um, yes, I... guess I did. Do you know how I can get to Halgita from here?

[markofthebrave]

No, sorry. This is Luceti. You're stuck here. [And since she couldn't tell that he did or didn't have wings through that armor and she's fairly sure that after her greeting telling him to take it off would give him the Wrong Idea, Katara goes with the next best thing.] Did you get a journal when you woke up here? Something like a book with your name on it.

[unblessed]

A journal? [He considers that for a moment before something more important comes to mind.] W-wait a minute, did you say I'm stuck here?

[markofthebrave]

Yeah, for a little while, anyway. But maybe shorter than the rest of us, if you didn't have a journal or if you don't have wings.

[unblessed]

But... I can't! My friend, he's in serious trouble, and if I don't help him...

[Well, he's not too sure what will happen, but he knows it won't be pretty!]

[markofthebrave]

[Which friend? Sigmund? Aya?]

Don't worry. For whatever time you're here, you'll be returned just where and when you left off. But first let's see how long you're here for, okay? Did you have a journal? Do you have wings?

[unblessed]

[Edward! Of course, at this point in time, Ed doesn't realize he's his friend, but shhh, details. He frowns at Katara's explanation, but decides to just answer her questions for now.]

I don't think so. [He reaches a hand back to feel for wings except... well, you know, Sigmund's armor is in the way.] How can I tell?
