4 Monster Friends [Action/Voice]

[wildlittlegirl]

[ When Arietta first comes back to the village, she doesn't think much of it. Sure, there are a few new faces around, but she was kidnapped right before another New Feather cycle.

But as she makes her way back to House 47, things seem a bit strange. Dated, even. And they only get stranger when she finds out just who else is in House 47.

Finally she decides enough is enough, and goes for the journals.

Anyone who's met Arietta might notice that at the moment, she seems a bit... well. Older. ]



Hello. Um, I was wondering. Is Yushen listening to this? Or Wiz? [ Who else has been in Luceti for a long time...? ] Cloche?

If any of you hear this, I want to talk to you...

[ Where have all her Luceti friends gone 8'( ]


(( Arietta has been aged-up nine years in an alternate Luceti as detailed here! ))

[ She shakes her head and finally starts to pull herself to her feet. They are going to be the best of friends again just like old times! Or, okay, many not again? And maybe... not like just like old times? Even though it's Ion? POINT IS they are going to be together with no stupid Anise around either and this is the best thing. ]

I should show you...

[ wait. ]

Ion, why are you sitting in a wheelchair?

[Ah... he was wondering how long it would take her to notice. His smile wanes just a bit, hoping right now he can explain this without making it seem as bad as it is -- not after he finally got her smiling again.]

...I've been sick for the past few weeks. I get tired if I walk for too long, so it's easier for me to get around if I use a wheelchair. [It wasn't entirely a lie, but it still felt bitter on his lips.]

Oh... [ Her expression falls for a moment. ] If there's anything I can do, let me know! Okay, Ion?! [ /ENTHUSIASM ]

[That... wasn't the reaction he was expecting. Of course, he's not entirely sure what he was expecting, but all the same, it wasn't that.]

...thank you, Arietta. If there's anything I need, I'll be sure to let you know.

[ And her smile is back. She was used to Ion being sick. It's familiar, even if she isn't happy with it. ]

Are you busy? Maybe we can do something right now... if you feel alright.

[distressedude]

[Perhaps it's a good thing Ion isn't making that connection -- his original had been in frail health as well, and that Ion was in the truth the one Arietta was more familiar with.]

[He gently shakes his head, still smiling.]

I would like that. Perhaps then you can tell me more about the life you've lived up until now?

Well... the years here happen a lot faster than back home. I've been here for a long time... So has Van, and Largo. I'm living with the two of them right now.
