103 // [Action]

[ 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.]

Comments

[ps3pirate]

[She's quiet for a few more seconds, but then decides to force a careless smile.]

Right! Right, I was just curious! Well, Yuri, seeing as we're both stuck in this place like caged crabs, that means we've got a lot of time to get to know each other again!

[trueknight]

[That sounded much more than curiosity to him, but considering the situation (and the fact that she seems to be trying rather hard to change the topic), he leaves it alone for now. It's pretty obvious she's somehow connected to that guild, though ...

Regardless, since she's trying to make the conversation more casual, he'll try to appear more casual about it by leaning back against the couch.]

Yeah, I guess so. Although you've got an obvious advantage on that already.

[ps3pirate]

[Patty's still trying her best not to seem upset by this. It's not like real amnesia if Yuri never had memories of meeting her in the first place. It's nobody's fault things turned out like this, so... The only thing she can do is work to fix the situation.]

That's true! So I'll let you ask me anything in return. What do you wanna know? Favorite color? Favorite food? The secret to my super eel fishing technique?

[trueknight]

[Yuri could care less about that stuff, but he'll bite back on saying that for now. Might as well at least try to be nice, all things considered. Really, the things he wants to know all lead back to the whole "pointing out what's different" line of topics, but guh ...

He'll ask that some other time, when things settle down. For now--]

I don't know ... The old man's putting me in charge of cooking most nights, so I guess knowing what you won't eat at all would be helpful.

[ps3pirate]

I eat just about anything! You can't be picky when it comes to the essentials, and food is about the most essential thing there is.

[trueknight]

Well, that makes things easier. Guess I can just make whatever I want to, then.

[Because Raven's opinion on what they all have to eat doesn't matter anymore, apparently. That's what the old man gets for making him do this |:]

[ps3pirate]

[Old man? What old man? Clearly this house only has Yuri and Patty living in it.]

Aye, you sure can! I'll eat anything if it's been prepared by you, Yuri!

[trueknight]

Right. Thanks, I ... think. [... It's really going to take him a while to get a decent opinion on Patty that isn't "why do i get the feeling she likes me way more than i'd like her to", isn't it?

Wait, dangit, that didn't last as long as he thought it would. Erm--] So, are you some sailor's kid, or something? You keep talking like you are ...

[... That sounded a lot less nosy in his head. Well, she's said aye several times now, and it doesn't seem like too harmful a question, so--]

[ps3pirate]

[That comment causes just a little pang of hurt. Patty had just gotten used to sharing her burden with her companions, but now one of the two who are actually still with her has forgotten all about it. Still, she manages a cocky smirk.]

Don't underestimate me. I am a sailor! You're looking at the girl who sailed a boat from Nordopolica to Dahngrest by herself at the age of nine, ya know! [Is she talking about herself as she is now, or about Aifread? It matters not. Either way, that impressive track record is hers.]

[trueknight]

[He looks pretty surprised by that. ... And slightly dubious. After all, it really sounds too impressive to be true, even if it is.]

Seriously? You sure you're not making any part of that up?

[ps3pirate]

Cross my heart and hope to drown. It took me almost two weeks and I lived off a ration of biscuits, dried fruit and water.

[Ahh, 'twas a great experience. Expanded her horizon and taught her a few valuable lessons.]

[trueknight]

[Wow. She really doesn't seem like she's making it up ...]

Huh ... That's pretty impressive for anyone to pull off at any age, honestly.

[ps3pirate]

I know! [What is modesty? It doesn't seem to be in Patty's dictionary.]

So if you ever need a Captain, you know who to ask, ya know

[trueknight]

[Wow, that is some modesty right there. But as far as he knows, she's pretty young, so he almost expects this kind of thing. So, he'll give her a somewhat amused smirk.]

I'm not sure how often I'll need a captain here, but I'll keep that in mind.
