[ 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.]

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.]

Ya feelin' up to eating anything? Even though I'm dumpin' the cooking duties onto you, I guess I can make ya breakfast seeing as I'm makin' it fer myself anyway.

[Speaking of blood pressure, he's gonna make some bacon.]

Oh, and I expect the door ta be fixed by the way. Don't think that changin' the topic gets ya out of repairin' the damage ya caused.

Hmm? ... Yeah, I guess I might as well have something.

[ ... ]

Especially now that I've got a door to fix.

You can fix it after breakfast then! I'm a little too old to be climbing outta windows, and I don't wanna touch it 'cause I might catch yer curse if I do. Oh the horror! An old man becomin' cursed by the youth! If I didn't already have enough misfortune of my own. Ah! The mere thought of it is sendin' chills up my spine already!

[And he throws the bacon into the pan, you might as well take a seat seeing as his melodramatics are in play.]

Stop being stupid ...

[Yeaaah, he's just going to go ahead and sit down now.]

Besides, if I really am cursed, and it really can pass on to other people, then it's already too late for you.

[~~But stupid is his middle name.~~ He moves to the cupboards and gets a load of bread out, since he likes fresh bread it's not sliced so he'll be doing that while the bacon cooks.]

I'm not bein' stupid, I'm being serious! I really don't want any more bad luck fer a change. Is that so wrong ta ask? Just fer once I'd like a nice peaceful day where I don't worry myself ta death over somethin'. Alas, I can't expect you kids to understand the woes of the elderly.

And the sad part is I got the feelin' bad news is on the horizon anyway, with or without yer help, especially when it concerns Luceti.

[Glancing over--]

You mean, what you said about that Bil person dying?

Something along those lines, yeah. We're bound to get a repercussion of sorts, I'm just waitin' fer it ta come up on the journals. It's a bit of a pain dreadin' what's ta come.

[Yuri sighs quietly to himself at that.]

... Yeah. [ ... ] It's even more of a mess for any totally new people coming in. People like me at least have some idea of what's going on and what to expect, but the rest of them are just going to end up getting swept up in all this.

You don't need ta worry about them, they'll get used ta this place before they even realize it! I doubt the Malnosso would be cruel enough ta shove bad news onto us when they're already bringin' oblivious people into the mix.

I don't see them being that kind about things, if they really plan on doing something. [... But he doesn't know the entire situation, so he decides to not get himself too worked up about it. He can save that for when and if this retaliation for whatever happened comes to pass.] But I guess all we can do for now is wait and see.

Ya know, sometimes they can be really well behaved. Well, when they're not experimentin' on us or dragging us off ta fight their little wars for 'em.

[He pauses. The more he thinks about it, the more he realizes this little village isn't really a happy little village. There's always something to be wary of. He quickly thinks back to Ragna recently going feral on them.]

Anyway, if it's not the Malnosso bein' the problem, then it's the other villagers.

[Villagers being problems ... he can't remember anything specific, but he does have some vague understanding that something like that isn't surprising, so--]

... Yeah. If I'm remembering right, then they're usually more dangerous than the Malnosso can get sometimes.

[... Although, bringing that up, he feels the need to check--]

Nothing happened recently when it comes to things like that though, right?
