ϡ - Chapter ThirtyThree; An Unusual Return [Action|Voice] (backdated to early afternoon)
[Action: Locked to Robert and Helios]
[ It’s a normal day and everyone has gone back to their own worlds. The cacophony of unknown voices over the journals has ceased and there is simply silence. But it’s not as if either of these two would have remembered. They were both taken by the droids just before such events took place, and were replaced with ones that looked and acted just like them. No one knew they were gone and no one would have to.
Except…except things weren’t exactly right upon their return. They usually never were, to be fair. But this, this was something beyond anything Helios thought the Malnosso were capable of.
He was… he was warm...and the pain... The pain was gone; that constant dull pain that had been a part of his life for as long as he could remember...for as long as Elise has been gone. It wasn’t right.
Something is so very wrong right now, and he doesn’t know what to do.
Helios looks over at the scientist lying off to the side and he finally realizes that they’re in some random, empty, unclaimed house. Robert is sprawled on his side, wings twitching a little under his lab coat, but he otherwise looks normal.
It's only when Helios stoops close to shake him gently awake that he realizes something is wrong with him, too. Robert's hands are deathly cold against his palms...just like his usually are.
...They're going to have to talk.]
[Later action: Open to all]
[Eventually, Robert and Helios walk out of the building together, composed (enough) and ready to face all the inevitable accusations...though they will be very careful and recalcitrant about any major questions. And also a little reluctant to leave each other alone...especially not in their current conditions. Feel free to run into either of them on their meandering way back to House 55...they'd love the company.]
[Eventually, however, they'll get inside and be able to fish out Robert's journal...and then Helios fetches the journal to say a few words.]
Where is it? Oh! Yes it's on. [ He's always a bit more absentminded when there's a lot on his mind, forgive him. ]
It's b-been two days? N-No…around three, I believe. Ah, well, we’re both back. We’re both f-fine and, and there’s nothing to worry about! [ Oh yes. Nothing at all. ] W-We meaning Robert and I. H-He’s fine and-and if you want to speak with him you can. The Malnosso left us in better shape than usual. Ha...perhaps they are learning how to be compassionate. [ A light chuckle. ]
Yes, well, d-did anything happen? Is everyone…is everyone alright? [ A lot can happen in two days in Luceti after all. ]
[ OOC: Robert and Helios return from their mallynap! Feel free to specify in the subject line of your reply where your character is and who you want your character to talk to – either will talk if asked, though most action replies will probably be three-way threads.]

I was sleeping...
[Wasn't he?]
no subject
It is... possible. But m-many people are reporting... inconsistencies and oddities.
...
It might have been... another accidental sh-shift...
no subject
S-Still. Are you...doing alright Donatello?
no subject
[And sloooowly leaning across Robert towards Helios. His thermic sense is telling him there's heat coming off the wizard, but since he's vaguely aware that Helios doesn't usually radiate heat, he's uncertain about the accuracy of this new perception. Must investigate...]
no subject
It's still a little odd, though, but... hey, closeness. If Don wants to cuddle up to Helios, he's not going to complain.]
... Er... s-so, Helios... where do you think I ought to begin, with my thesis...?
[Nice, neutral topic. One that distracts him from his cold skin and the ache in his body.]
no subject
[ Helios on the other hand who is rather adverse to contact simply blinks and looks at Donatello with a wary glance. ]
Ah. D-Donatello?
no subject
Uh... yes. Write about Nala.
no subject
Though Robert'd be the last person to complain about someone cuddling up to Helios...]... G-Good suggestion. I... I will do exactly that... especially since, er, my... e-experiences seem to be... relatively unique...
[Not the only one, though! Thanks to Don's insight.]
no subject
Y-Yes it might help to e-even make people more knowledgeable on their own attempts at contacting her.
no subject
no subject
... Okay, that's new. Robert internally wonders if he did something wrong, there...]
... Don?
