ϡ - Chapter Forty-One; a new beginning [forward dated to the afternoon]

[ Anyone nearby the bridge by House 47 and House 35 will see the droids unceremoniously drop a rather disgruntled and startled blonde man into the river. Helios wasn’t awake fully at the time, but he sure is now! He is just going to sputter and flail a bit in the water before making his way towards dryer land. Helios is totally not amused by this guys, especially since it's kinda cold out. The water is also an odd shade of purple…and that grass is blue. He is just…really confused, because nothing is the right color and he’s slightly panicking from this revelation. It must be a side-effect…it has to be. And once he finally runs into people, he'll notice a strange and alarming aura around each individual person. It's a side-effect from John's tampering with his death penalty.

He’ll groggily get up and wring out his long sleeve shirt and jacket, huffing and mumbling under his breath. Not the graceful or nicest of re-entries to the enclosure. You can find Helios walking through the village, soaking wet and a bit miffed, back to his house. And once he gets there he’ll get settled, changed, and make a voice entry.]

[Voice]

I’m, ah, b-back. Thank you f-for whoever took care of the Library in my absence. Everything is well, aside from seeing things in c-color again. Surprisingly…strange and saying that is rather odd too. [ A laugh on his end. There’s a rattling noise from somewhere off in the distance. Luminair’s chirps get excited and happy as Helios gives a surprised gasp. ] Oh! Gods , is it really that time already? I-I didn’t even realize…though the time it takes is far less than your own.

[ Helios clears his throat, his tone slightly more jovial and happy than before. ] It’s a pleasure to meet all the new arrivals we’ve gotten these past few weeks. I hope everyone hasn’t had too much t-trouble settling in. The library is free to use for anyone who wants, and we also have a bookclub that meets once a month. Also if anyone has any questions about the spirits of this place, or m-magic in general, I ah wouldn’t mind assisting you in learning. There’s also a m-magic club that meets every once in awhile too! [ Some more rattling as Luminair chirps more emphatically. ]

Oh, dear, I-I wonder if it’ll last until tomorrow… [ A tapping noise as he taps a pencil on the table. ]

Ah. I-I was wondering…how many people would be interested in seeing a newborn dragon hatch? I-I think this calls for a little celebration, don’t you think Luminair? [ A happy chirp in reply is heard from somewhere off in the room. ]

If anyone wants to stop by tomorrow to see the hatching…I wouldn’t mind having a small little get together! I could make some food and-and a cake too. Anyone is welcome to come by house forty-four. We could all benefit from a little celebration once in awhile, hm?

((ooc; For Helios' return effect he is seeing people's auras, along with seeing the world in weird colors and shades. The auras that Helios are seeing, are just different facets to a person's personality. If you don't want him to see someone's aura just let me know and we can work around that! ))

Ahh. [Rei smiles in understanding] I understand. Yes, that's my aura. I can sometimes see others, and I've seen my own in a vision before.

That doesn't sound so bad.

No it's...surprisingly tame for the- [ after effects of getting his death penalty removed. ] -the, ah, Malnosso and the effects they concoct. But I can't exactly see auras myself. I-I'm just...getting used to it is all. It'll wear out eventually so at least there's that.

I can certainly agree with that. [ A dour look overtakes his own features as he writes that. ]

I still don't understand the experiments they put us through, even though our relations have gotten better. At least Halloween wasn't bad and surprisingly normal, compared to the last two years I've been through. [ But the journals is probably not the best place to discuss such things. ]

It...can be strange for those unaccustomed to magic and such sensations. I know it's different for every, especially people who are telekinetic or have some sort for of powers with their minds. Eferin, hm? That's certainly a very good start, Spock. I wonder if you'll be able to contact Sona as well. Since your world doesn't seem to have much in the way of magic, if I'm not mistaken?

[ The fact that the other was able to make such a fast connection even with his own mindset is quite interesting. ]

[ A smirk as he takes the offered cup and sips on it. ] Then I'm doing very well. Thank you for asking.

[ Helios blinks, he looks a bit embarrassed and sheepish with those words. ] It, ah, w-was?

[ He isn't the most rambunctious or lively of housemates though! ] I'm very much glad to be back, you have no idea.

Well, Adele has been...small, as you know. And Sabriel was taken, it seems. I've been alone here for a few days. Save, of course, for the animals.

[She peers at Luminair and flicks her tongue out at him teasingly]

Isn't that right?

It is. [Rei muses to herself, but shrugs]

Well, it's not the strangest I've seen, no. [She walks over, heading towards the practice yard in the courtyard.]

If it's not bothering you, let me show you what I've been working on.

Of course Grune. You're always invited over, you know, dragon hatching or not! [ Helios sounds mighty happy about this prospect the more and more he talks about it. ]

It'll be good for him to have a few more dragons to play with. We have to let them all meet at some point, like a dog park, only for dragons.

[ A chuckle as he pictures that. All sorts of little dragons playing together. It'd be cute. ]

Dragons are often thought of as elusive and powerful. I-I can understand why people would want to see one up close. It's...rather refreshing to see. People also tend to fear them for their size and the stories about them too. So not having people regard them that way...it's different than what I'm used to.

[ Helios will laugh happily at those few chirps. Aren't you the excited one. ] Oh, please, just call me Helios.

[ He is kinda embarrassed at the statement 'my lord' Helios certainly is no lord. He blinks pausing before answering. ] I-I think it'll be alright with the, um, bed and things I have setup for it. Your offer is appreciated though.

Cake? For a newborn dragon? [Yes, with everything that Helios talked about right there, that's what Leon decides to focus on. He sounds both amused and fascinated.]

Dragons are large and powerful, so the stories about them aren't entirely untrue.

...But it's always nice to see people giving them respect without fear. Some I know would like that.

Yeah, definitely. Can't have too many dragons. [...] Err. Well-behaved dragons, anyway.

If this is an improvement, you have my pity.

I dunno much about it myself; like I said, dog, not cat.

I think it's a kind of... force, or energy? It's everywhere, and some people can draw energy from it t' cast spells with. Nobody's real sure what it is, but there's theories.

Maybe if I knew how t' do magic stuff, I could say for sure what this world's got, but I don't so I can't. Don't think I got any affinity thing either, but I figure electricity's handy when you're workin' with machines. [Or beings that need a good zap so Red can slip past...]

Technicalities like that work?! Come on, I've asked for dragon eggs and martian ruins items and all sorts of things and I've been denied every time! Jeez!

[ She peeks at him from the doorway, listening to his message before speaking up. ]

Are you all right, Helios?

I-I'm not sure. But, ah, I think they might have to. Otherwise we'd have a whole village filled with dragons and other odd assortments of things by now, don't you think?

I'm sure Draco and the other dragons in the enclosure appreciate the well natured sentiments towards them. I mean in retrospect they really are just looking to fit in and live their lives to the fullest.

[ Helios chuckles at that. ] I can certainly agree with that. Dealing with one is hard enough, but two? Luminair is at least sweet and kind enough that I doubt he'll have much trouble with the new dragon about to hatch.

[ Learning it from the cats indeed. Helios will just laugh at hearing those last few words as he turns and goes to take a nice hot shower. When he comes back finally he notes the other two with a smile on his face. ]

What an adorable pair you two make. [ Luminair is just sitting on his hind legs and taking those marshmallows with his front claws and nibbling on them. He looks back up at Helios with a happy chirp and wag of his tail. Orange eyes shifting to blue and then green. ] Those cookies look delicious.

[ And Helios is kinda hungry, especially when his stomach makes that fact know with a loud growl. ]

((ooc; if you want to give me a description of his aura that'd be cool too! I am unsure what it would look like for him tbh. ))

S-Some...gold and b-black maybe?

[ Helios' eyebrow raises ever so slightly. ] You haven't? Your world has them then, dragons?

S-Sorry. I'm just...a bit tense still. The droids will, um, d-do that to you. [ A shaky smile. He's also not too good with people touching him that he doesn't know entirely, even if Loki is a child. ]

It's-it's something of a, ah, inherent response from me. [ A sheepish laugh as he lets himself be tugged along by the other. ]

Wh-what were you doing out here?

((ooc; do you have any description of what his aura might look like? ))

It was, unfortunately. But that's all in the past. [ A past he really doesn't want to think about, not with the happiness he's feeling right now. Even if his hand will always be a reminder of last Halloween. ]

Halloween was relaxed and surprisingly fun this time around, aside from the ghosts pulling pranks of course.
