ϡ - Chapter Seven; the reality of everyday [voice]

[ Sup Luceti. You residential mythology derp is walking around his house, though he seems confused, very confused. You might hear a thud and a small hiss of pain as he ~~stupidly, clumsily~~ absentmindedly walked into a wall. He wasn't paying attention, you see, and for good reasons. Someone's room is empty and it isn't his. ]

...Ted? Hm...no, not there either. Er, oh. Oh dear. All his belongings are gone. [ If you could see his face he'd be wearing his sad puppy pout. ]

I'm terribly sorry for anyone who knew him, but I do believe Ted has been--sent back home. It suddenly seems a bit more...empty, doesn't it? Ah, I guess that feeling is characteristic for such an event. I- I do hope he's all right, back in his world. [ Housemate buddy Helios wishes you the best. ]

What did you do?

[ Lol you're the first to point it out so he's a bit surprised. Also he recognizes your voice! ]

O-Oh nothing. Haha! It was nothing. [ He ran into a wall, okay?! ]

Ah we've spoken before, haven't we? I don't think I ever introduced myself, how rude of me. I'm Helios Sprensonne.

It didn't sound like nothing.

We have, for a bit. . . . Lightning.

Just a slight case of me being absentminded, again. [ Another dour chuckle. ]

Lightning. A wonderful name, a very powerful force of nature if I do say so myself.

So you hit something.

It flashes bright then fades away, and only destroys.

[ He's just going to laugh sheepishly at that, not replying directly but you can probably figure it out. Derp. ]

Oh sometimes it can be dangerous and destroy, yes. But- it's quite a beautiful sight to see all the same. One of the many reminders of Mother Nature's true power.

Suppose it is.

[ You should have seen when he tripped and face planted awhile back. ]

Mm. Ah have you- gotten adjusted well, then? Still planning on going to the barrier? [ He's still concerned, even if he doesn't know you well. It comes with being a headmaster to a school; he always worries too much! ]

Well enough. Still am; just not yet. Things came up.

[ A bit. He has a habit of running into things, frankly he's probably surprised himself. ]

Things...came up? Oh dear, nothing bad I hope?

Nothing like that. People I know showed up.

[ Because he's a derp! And apparently not very good at paying attention. ]

Oh. [ A pause. ] Ahh! That's wonderful news! [ He sounds happy about that. It's always nice to have people from your own world here. ]

I'm sure you must be glad to see them again.

We shouldn't be here.

Mm it is a bit of a predicament, hm? None of us should really be here but a way out has yet to be found. I don't think our captors really note that, nor care.

[ Sigh sigh. ]

What's the point of this, anyway?

Each of us has things to do, back wherever we're all from.

Mm you are right about that. Leaving so abruptly like that- I hope everyone is doing alright. [ His voice sounds a bit...distant, as if he's not really paying much attention and that little sentence was supposed to be more to himself. He sighs, because he has been wondering how his castle and students have been holding up all this while. ]

Hm. Best to think that they are. Being able to take care of yourself is as important as having companions.

Oh, yes, extra worry will only make you sick I think. Unneeded stress on one's body and all that. I believe it's best to be optimistic in these situations.
