84th Draw - Stopping a friend and other things

[First it was Gold and Silver. A little while later, Lymsleia had joined them and now Roy was gone as well.

It's only been a few days since the kidnappings but Selphie can already see the toll that it's taking on Frey. He's barely home these days and she knows that something stinks when he's not eating anything either. Naturally, the perky brunette has taken it upon herself to hunt him down and drag him back to the house for some food and sleep. He's no good to anybody if he's sick and Lym would worry herself sick and end up stuck in bed right beside him.

She finds him eventually near the fountain with his shoulders slumped forward. There's dark circles under his eyes from exhaustion and she can only wonder what he's eaten in his waking hours since his sister was taken. She walks over with a deep worried frown on her face and it's fallen to Selphie to convince him to come home and take care of himself. She's ready to knock him out if she has to but is really hoping that it doesn't come down to that.]


C'mon Frey. That's enough.

[A bit later after Selphie's managed to get Frey home, fed and put to bed, she's decided to finally put that question that's been burning a hole in her head to good use. Ever since that last post from Sir Catherine, she's had more questions than answers than she's ever had during her stay in Luceti. What had she forgotten about from her previous stay in the village? Who had been in the village the longest? She was going to put her information gathering skills to the test this very moment.]

Luceti! This is Selphie and I've got a questions for everybody in the village. I don't really talk about it very often but like a few others who have come back, I've been in the village before. So if you all don't mind, would you mind dropping me a line telling me how long you've been in the village for? I'll have been here for two years myself this coming April.

Call it a Census if you feel like it but I'm curious.

[Ulterior motives are staying hidden for the time being.]

[ooc: action is for Frey! The rest of the post is open to everybody! Yes, even you antisocial grump faces.]

Quite fine, thank you.

[And moving on now....] Might I inquire why you are requesting this information?
lostinmyway: (True!Grune: Mild interest.)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2012-03-23 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Normally Grune would be satisfied with this response, but things aren't exactly normal with Grune this week.]

Is that all?
lostinmyway: (True!Grune: Be careful what you wish for)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2012-03-23 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
I see. [...Well, she'll let that pass for the moment.]

Do you require any further information?
lostinmyway: (True!Grune: What must be.)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2012-03-23 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
I am. I have merely temporarily regained my memories, thanks to the interference of the Malnosso. I expect I shall lose them within a week.

[That does tend to be the typical length of time such effects last. Giles and his enduring issues with being a dragon by night were the exception.]

[She very nearly sighs.]

Even had I the time to do so, I would not know what to do with the information when I lost my memories once again.
lostinmyway: (True!Grune: Prayer.)

[Oh, hey, a chance to avoid.]

You lost your memories as well?
lostinmyway: (True!Grune: Look down in compassion.)

[If she could speak with the people responsible for allowing a child to use something so dangerous....

Despite the grim direction of her thoughts, her voice is gentle when she speaks to Selphie.]


You should not blame yourself for something beyond your control.
lostinmyway: (True!Grune: Lonely prayer.)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2012-04-01 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
For very good reason. I imagine your experiences were highly upsetting.
lostinmyway: (True!Grune: Look down in compassion.)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2012-04-02 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
Are you certain?

[That sounds as if it would be something too valuable to be easily forgotten.]
lostinmyway: (True!Grune: Prayer.)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2012-04-05 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
Then I am glad for your sake that matters are not as unfortunate as they might have been.
lostinmyway: (True!Grune: Be careful what you wish for)

[Doesn't she know it.]

Yes, they certainly can. I can only hope that they do not.
