✷ searching for the way things used to be ㅡ

[ he returns to the looking-glass house first, slipping out of their borrowed accommodation to make his way across the coven grounds.

it turns out the cottage is even less remarkable during the first blush of morning, sitting squat and gray at the edge of the courtyard. nobody had explained its exact purpose, and trying to coax the information from one of their hosts had been a little like pulling teeth.

so, it's frustration that drives him onward. if they don't have answers then he'll simply have to find them himself. starting with that mirror. ]


✷ just like fire, burning out the way ㅡ

[ one of the evenings, he gives in to his curiosity and follows the trail of smaller bonfires. it brings him into a wide plaza somewhere in the residential district.

there, children cluster together in groups playing games ㅡ some that he recognizes, some that he doesn't ㅡ or break away to cajole what food they can from the nearby vendors. splitting their spoils among themselves, as seems to be the tradition. and while he lingers, briefly, it's really the larger bonfire that holds his notice.

side-stepping most attempts to pull him into a dance, he finds himself with half a honey cake in one hand and a bracelet of runestones wrapped around the wrist of the other. ]

They say these will guard against the flames.

[ if he sounds a little dubious it's because he is. ]


✷ wildcard ㅡ

[ Solas may find the fleeting smile that whips across her mouth a perverse surprise, taking into account the subject and his biting retort.

She likes that he dislikes the idea of himself as someone to whom anything is ultimately fine, as long as he bears witness. For this, she's willing to overlook the insulting implication that he might need to rescue her. ]

Ah, don't waste your time worrying about me. I'm wanted--needed--on my world. Letting you or me burn is counterproductive when neither of us are capable of doing this on our own.

[ A quick and indelicate shrug. ] It isn't likely, at any rate.

"Antiquated" is a good word for it. I can't place the exact time period that it would be, but it's not something you'd typically see where I'm from.

[ Certainly not in Inaba, but despite all the places he's been across Japan... no, he can't think of anywhere that had something quite like this. It's very European.

His hand still at his chin, Souji's eyes flick back to her, serious and focused, contemplative. Like he's trying to piece all of the information together, despite the blanks they're facing. ]

Considering how many people are coming through, I can't think of anything else that it could be. [ Although - ] Does your mirror look different from all of the other ones in the hall?

( well, one weapon—a knife, hidden in the folds of her skirts—but in all likelihood if she were to attack him with it, it would serve him better than her as him taking the blade would be an almost foregone conclusion. she could not summon even a whisper of flame when she attempted it, and has not yet tried again; she is obliged to rely upon the kindness of strangers, and for all her ideals, that is nothing in which she has much faith.

one hand out in friendship, and one upon the door, ready to bolt. figuratively speaking, at least; she isn't going to get far from behind him. nor is anyone going to get near, though, and for now that will serve. a nod, then, and it suits her very well to be tucked between her new acquaintance and the wall. privacy is in relatively short supply, but at least that isn't anything she's so very unfamiliar with; the difference mainly being that she has always experienced communal bathing or limited privacy options with a personal guard at her back, and not a questionable stranger.

this is what's before her. she will gain nothing from sitting down and wringing her hands over what isn't.

retreating to their chosen bed, then, she sits at its edge to carefully undress; her shoes set down with her gloves, her cloak, struggling briefly with the outer layers of her riding habit, heavy velvet tightly laced. the corset beneath gives her some difficulty, hands behind her back and fingers feeling overlarge and clumsy, but she only briefly considers taking that knife to it—

she will at some point no doubt need to put it back on again.

it looks less immodest than it feels to be left in her chemise, unknotting the ribbons tied at her knees for her stockings and folding all of her things neatly, and setting them aside. (she doesn't hide the knife's sheath, when putting her things in a tidy pile at the end of the bed.) the number of pins in her hair holding it up seems frankly improbable—and she despairs of being able to dress it again so neatly without aid. tomorrow it will look simpler.

tonight, she looks much smaller without all of her layers and finery, small enough that tucked beneath the blankets of the bed her feet don't reach the heavy pile of her belongings. the only thing she holds onto still is the watch that they were all given, poking at it— )

I don't suppose you know more than I do about these things.

( an easy enough opening to ignore, if he'd prefer, because frankly she doesn't sound like she expects that he does. he is familiar, and in a way so is the peculiar situation in which they find themselves; she associates him more readily with her own ignorance, and in that way it's more of a very mildly delivered complaint about all that she doesn't know yet than any real expectation of learning more in the immediate. )

[solas grasps new concepts with impressive speed, though francel cannot say that he is surprised. he's not sure why, exactly, he gets the feeling that the man is a staunch intellectual through and through, given that they've had only bare-bones conversations; he can only chalk it up to the man's sharp eyes and general demeanor.]

I wish only that I could aid you — I fear I've not the proper background. If I'd had a knack for thaumaturgy...

[how different might life have been, francel muses, if only he'd had the aptitude to become a powerful mage? would he have become a respected priest in the vault's upper echelons? would his father have been proud of him at last?

would haurchefant have loved him?

no, he decides, after a moment. haurchefant's interests lay in the physical, not the magical; he respected sinew and sweat and steel. in any case, it's not important. no one and nothing can bring him back, and there are other things francel should be concerned with, like the man standing before him.]

...But I may at least bring you some research materials. What topics had you thought to research first? I've grown familiar enough with the layout of this place that I should be able to find most anything.

[ Leaning his head forward, Kosmo licked first at the whipped cream, before delicately using his teeth to take the pancake from the other's offered fingers without so much as pinching them despite the sharpness of his teeth, before happily chewing away at what he had been given, even going so far as to lick his own nose once finished, clearly pleased. ]

At this point, I don't really expect it to. The only other person who's known about it is one of my teammates. [ He gave a shrug, and a thin, forced smile. ]

Detective still sounds pretty cool, I went through a phase where I wanted to be one, but- [ Keith trails off, and laughs a bit. ] "Disciplinary issues" doesn't exactly look good for that kind of thing.

[ And in the end, he'd had bigger dreams. ]

Hey, hey. Keep it down. Abusing makes it sound like I'm doing something really bad, okay? It's not that big a deal. And I don't know about low effort... it's not like you can get paid for sleeping, right? Still, as depressing it is to say about a guy... we actually have way more in common than I thought? Go figure~. If you were a girl this discovery would actually be worth it, but dating you would make things really awkward down the line...

[ The Sakuma family is Too Much, okay. But the longer they chitchat, the more impatient he feels, and wow -- the drinks are seriously fruitier than what he asked for, but he's starting to not care all that much. It's going down well with the slices of plum that're slathered in cream, and he tips a fork playfully at Ritsu, his tone gradually gaining a slight whine to it. ]

Anyway, I'm not in the mood to waste my precious break just talking about serious stuff. Why don't we play a little game and have some fun? Hmm, not that I think you've ever played it before given you used to be a member of Knights and all [ what does that have to do with it? please ], but... you've heard of Never Have I Ever, right?

Peridot frowns, a look of vague concern passing over her features for the first time. She honestly hasn't been letting herself think about the possibility of being stuck here for so long?

[He offers her a nervous little smile. It's a polite thing that is probably a step above a slight grimace if anything. Niceties of some sort, but the man was obviously far from comfortable about the arrangements being given.]

Quite. I, uhm. I'm not quite comfortable at the idea of sharing a bed with someone else. A little too intimate for me, no matter the situation.

[He rubs the back of his neck sheepishly.] Besides, I did a lot of traveling in the wilderness, so sleeping on the floor is far from the worst sleeping arrangements I've experienced recently.

[The Zouwu lifts its head sleepily before settling back in and pushing its nose against Newt's side.] Oh, this is Greg. He seemed to have arrived with me along with a few others.

I've never met a domesticated animal before. ( Which is probably a little weird, right? Because it's not just a chocobo she's never encountered, but any animal resembling a pet has never crossed her path. It's kind of a big deal to meet Primula! )

Are they common where you come from? ( A pause, brief. ) Pets and animal partners like Primula, that is.

[ F r i e n d.

Caster takes the wagging as being given a green light and scratches Dogmeat behind the ear. He's multitasking here, because just because the doggo gets attention doesn't mean he's letting go of the conversation ]

Sounds like someone with your wide-array of skills is exactly what's in demand here. [ It's not even flattery or mockery, he delivers it as if it was an absolute fact ] With what's outside the wall and what-not

[ He was always someone living in the "now", living in the "here." It only got more intense in this unlife, temporary being and whole that jazz. Be called to do something (usually kill or protect) and then disappear. It hasn't changed. ]

On the other hand-- a break is nice too.

Caster

[ua_duibhne]

[Whether or not he's aware of it, a potential favour from the Child of Light is never something to turn your nose up at, even if it just means getting an equally bizarre necklace somewhere down the line.

Regardless, Caster seems to have noticed the runes on this one. Diarmuid peers at him curiously as he translates each of the runes, interested not so much in what they say as the fact that he can do it at all.]

Maybe I should have asked you to read them before I jumped the bonfire. [He glances back up.] I don't wanted to presume but... are you a druid?

[An unconventional druid, perhaps, but a lot of the signs are there; runes, robes, the way his very presence evokes his homeland. Diarmuid might not have any inclinations towards magecraft but he's familiar enough to recognise a branch of it so deeply entwined with his own understanding of the world and its arcane mysteries. Besides, there's that undeniable feeling that they've met before. A hazy memory of a blackened forest, an arc of flame drawn in the air, a name that he can't quite-

Where are his manners? Diarmuid shakes his head.]

Ah, you're right. You may call me- [hesitation, recollections of the same uncertainty about revealing his True Name to this man and ultimately settling on] - Lancer. Although now I'm curious as to what you meant by "getting creative".

[Truthfully, there's no way to be entirely sure that this person is one of the new arrivals. He thinks he saw her in that crowded room with Miss Nessie, but he can't be sure; there were a lot of people in that room. He thinks she's a little too human-looking to be properly monster, but he could be wrong about that, too. Her clothes are off, but she could be eccentric.]

[It was a gamble talking to her. But he's not surprised to be right. He never is.]

[He takes the time to give due consideration to the question. It's an important one, or he wouldn't have asked it in the first place.]

I think . . . this one is more honest. That's how I feel. [He gestures towards the handmade pole.] And more personal. I haven't found it friendlier, but that doesn't matter. [To him, anyway. Even if it should.]

[ Aymeric's searching expression betrays nothing, and his tone is mild — perhaps a touch less genial than it was minutes ago, perhaps not. ]

I can hardly imagine you would be granted an office of such import if those granting it did not find you innocent.

[ He pauses, tilting his head in concession: ]

—A generous conclusion, no doubt, when you yourself know the answer, and I presume survived much trouble ere the truth was brought to light. You were falsely accused, I take it?

That's a really good idea, actually. Keeping track of these things, I mean. [ She pauses. ] What's the most interesting thing you've learned so far?

[Hiccup shrugs one shoulder at that with an appraising look.] That does sound like a dragon name, though. What exactly is a Deathclaw? [Look they've got all kinds of dragons with "death" in the species, and a handful with "claw", so it's not far off the mark.

He watches her glance toward Toothless and call over her dog (with an... interesting name, not that he has any room to talk), and he's quick to say, because they're in a brand new place and he wants them to make a good impression,] Toothless is harmless- well, not harmless, but uh. He won't attack anyone. Unless we're being attacked first, but, that's probably not going to happen here-

Your dog came with you? Through the mirror?

They don't think to care and don't care to think, [ Lex agrees with a thoughtful hum. It may not necessarily be true of all of them, in this world or any other, but there are enough like that. Even in the wastes, there was always someone who didn't care about sharing what they had with someone suffering.

This, though - this was public. Open. There were the segregated bathing areas, but that had been openly admitted as something to be improved upon, back at the Coven. It was... interesting. Strange, and wasteful, and Lex wanted to know more about it. ]

Neither have I. I've read things, heard stories that this is how it used to be back home, but never seen it.

[ Just the number of people who had come through the mirrors was easily the population of some of the biggest settlements, if not larger. It was overwhelming, all of it was - the sights, the sounds, the smells. But the baths, at least, were soothing - and so was Dogmeat. ]

Yeah, he did. Makes me feel a little bit better about all of this. [ She clicks her tongue and Dogmeat paddles over, Lex reaching up to rub his head before he paddles past. ]
