[ action - for house 12 ]

[Nice and early in the morning, there'll be a wonderful noise coming from one of the empty bedrooms in house 12.

... Except not, because the noise is a loud THUD, followed by a groan and (if one is listening closely) a "dammit" and some mumbled complaining. Being dropped on the edge of an old mattress and immediately falling off of it onto the floor because of that isn't the best feeling to wake up to. Especially when you're just arriving in Luceti.

But uh, yeah. Good morning, house 12 residents!]

[ action - in the late afternoon to evening ]

[Now that he's gotten a fair chunk of his Luceti memories back, Yuri decides to head out that evening and refamiliarize himself with the village a little. Might as well try to get as much of his memory back before doing one of those "hey, I'm back" things, right? Well, it makes sense to him, anyway. He's more or less wandering all over the place in the village, but notably, he's stopping by the Smithy (might as well see if one of his swords is lying around there!), the Battle Dome (only to take a look at the place, though), and finally, the Good Spirits bar. Still, he may come across as a New Feather while he does his wandering, as he slows down a lot while he wanders - sometimes coming to full stops to look at areas or buildings.

Aside from those three places noted, he doesn't really hang around anywhere else in particular, but as he does slow to stops often in random places, feel free to catch him just about anywhere in the village.]

I'm not goin' to a restaurant in the mornin'! I want a cooked breakfast, served in my room! Be my servant!

You really want to see me first thing in the morning that often?

Do you wanna see me in bed~?

Of course not! What do ya take me for?! Just do yer stuff ta keep the house nice and the rest I don't care what ya do.

That's all, huh? Well, I guess I can just cook whenever I feel like it then. Good to know.

[Because he's taking "the rest I don't care what ya do" as "I'll stop telling you to do things" and sticking to it.

Also coffee. Delicious coffee.]

[Yeah well, you took so long Raven has already finished his.]

Seein' as yer memories are starting ta come back anyway, what do ya plan on doing here?

[At that, Yuri goes a little quiet.]

... I'm not sure yet. Run the guild, try to get them off of just building things all the time ... [... Well, if he's remembering that bit correctly. All he can remember of the guild jobs right now is just build this, build that, put an extension on this, and some crazy woman who wanted to build a coliseum-esque theater ...] The rest, I'll figure out as I go.

Haha! At least ya have a plan, yer already doin' better than the rest of us!

[As in, Raven just makes his life up as he goes along. He's been for two years already and he still hasn't figured out what he wants to do with himself. Though, he figures that decision would be easier to make back home at least.]

But now that I think about it, both you and Patty showin' up in a matter of days... I wonder if anyone else we know is gonna get dragged here too?

Huh ... Who knows? Maybe everyone else will end up coming back too.

That's a bad thing, you know.

I never said I wanted it to happen. Just that it could.

See, when you say stuff like that, bad things always happen. Yer just cursed and ya happen ta pass it onto everyone else!

I'm not cursed. [ ... ] And even if I was, don't you start blaming your own bad luck on me.

[~~And then the front door falls off it's hinges, the glass in all the windows burst, and the oven sets itself on fire~~.]

Hey, I'm just quotin' you! Yer the one who said you were cursed in the first place! I bet it won't be long before something bad happens to this house with you around.

[He teases because he cares. Only not really.]

I say a lot of things. [And besides, maybe if he starts saying he's NOT cursed, he'll stop having so much bad luck!

...

He can dream, okay.] And I'm telling you, if something else happens to this house, it's 'cause the house is cursed. I'm not responsible for any of it.

Nothin' has happened to it since ya've been gone... [His expression right now is so unsure of your attempts to reassure your lack of curse.]

And nothing will happen to it now that I'm here, either!

[Stupid Raven. He's putting his coffee down on the countertop and heading straight for the front door. HE'S GOING TO PROVE THAT IT'S NOT HIM, RIGHT HERE AND RIGHT NOW.]

[He has no idea what you're doing, but he's not about to get up and follow you.]

Uh, where are ya goin'?

I'm gonna prove that me being here has nothing to do with anything.

[And with that he OPENS THE DOOR ... and everything is fine. So, he swings the door back and forth a few times.]

See? It's not--

[... And then there's a light crack and a small puff of sawdust coming from the top hinge.

... Yuri stops, stares at it for a moment, then quietly closes the door.

He's not saying a word :|]

[The fact you were quite happily swinging the door back and forth, only to stop, stare and shut it quietly DOES NOT GO UNNOTICED MR.LOWELL.]

You've broken the door, haven't you?

... It still works.

[He's going back to the kitchen and finishing his coffee. He doesn't want to hear anything about curses for the rest of forever.]

[Raven finally moves his ass and goes to inspect the hinges. He's not going to open the door because it'll break the moment he does.]

Ya've barely been here an hour...

[... He's just going to go ahead and try to jump subjects. He's not even going to be subtle about it. He just doesn't care at all right now.]

So, is there anything else that happened over the last four months that I should know, or ...?

[His poor blood pressure, all of this is bad for the old man's health you know! You should be ashamed! Regardless, moving back into the kitchen to prepare himself some breakfast.]

Nothin' that would be interesting to you, like I said. Then again, I can't say I knew the crowds ya hung around, so you'll wanna chat ta them yerself.

[Walk it off, Raven. And dammit, there goes that distraction. That was pretty much all he had in his "don't say a damn word about that door" distraction topic grab bag.]

I see ... Guess I'll do that once my memories settle down a little.

[Let's see ... should he think up another topic? Should he just leave and continue to pretend nothing just happened? Should he just not say anything after that last thing he just said?

... Let's go for the last one for now.]
