ϡ - Chapter TwentySix; And now for something not so different [voice/action]

[ There's a loud splash as someone gets dropped off by the droids...in the river by House 35. The figure that steps out from the embankment is not a familiar face. Most people might not recognize him or perhaps you saw him like this once before. But that's neither here, nor there. Yes, her. The voice over the transmission is completely feminine and most likely unfamiliar. ] Oh for heaven's sake not again.

[ Just an annoyed huff. Wonderful Malnosso, just wonderful. Once again he's a woman. You might hear him mumbling something under his breath as he tries to dry off clothes far too big for him now. Far, far too big since they were his but...well wardrobe change aside not much else has changed this time. Time to go shopping...again. This would be so much easier if he had any fashion sense whatsoever. Mumbled: ] You would think doing this once before would ruin the fun.

[ Oh silly Helios there is always fun to be had in Luceti. Awkward or otherwise, everyone gets involved. He clears her throat before letting out a sheepish laugh. Not very well known, in her tone at least, but the action should be familiar. ] Oh. Um. I'm-I'm back. Did...did anything happen while I was away? [ He realizes shortly afterward no one will actually recognize his voice like this. Derp. Still he sounds none too pleased about the ordeal. Helios will make his way towards the town in seek of more...appropriate clothing. Of course he's really not paying attention, his mind elsewhere at the moment, so...have a blonde haired woman tripping as she walks. A slight 'Ah!' for emphasis. Sad part is that there's not even heels involved this time. Trees. Who put those roots there? ]

((ooc; Coming off hiatus super early. Also will be replying with

magicboobs Note: Helios still identifies as himself this time around he's just female bodied. So yeah...enjoy that.))

[...hello, strange woman tripping her own two feet.

...hello, strange woman with a Romanian accent tripping over her own two feet.

...wait, wait, seriously, wait, he knows this one...]

...h-hello?

[ Giles why are you not...no nevermind. He can't expect you to get it right away. Helios doesn't even get it sometimes. Another sigh as he runs a hand through extra long blonde hair. ]

Helios. It's...me. [ There, said it. And he looks positively mortified and embarrassed and...ah. Just...looking at the ground now. ] The M-Malnosso really are-are terrible when it comes to these effects.

[Oh, Giles got it. It's just...what do you say to that? What do you actually even say to that?

Oh. That's right.]

...I'm glad you're back.

[ Nothing Giles. Absolutely nothing...besides that. Helios smiles. ]

I-I'm glad, as well. A-Are you alright? I-I know the droids...they didn't do anything to you, did they? [ There's a pout and a rather concerned look. ]

Knocked me senseless, but, um, they seem to enjoy doing that just on general principle. And Frederic was along soon to wake me up.

...I wasn't taken along with you, if that's what you're afraid of.

[ Noticeable sigh of relief . ] Thank goodness. I was...worried a-about that, yes.

So only me then. Good that's, that's good. [ Blink. ] Ah! W-Well not good, good. It's never good, especially when they dump you in the river. Honestly I don't know if it's possible but they should really be taught some manners. Not that the Malnosso have many themselves.

They do seem to have a fondness for dumping people in the river. Haven't the faintest idea why - maybe it helps you shake off whatever they've drugged you with.

[Giles laughs quietly as a thought seemingly strikes him.]

Well, um, if you're up for it...you might have the chance for some friendly payback tomorrow.

You might be onto something. I haven't the faintest clue either. I'm just glad it's hot out. Though I rather cool down on my own than being forcibly thrown into a river. [ Just looking down at the wet clothes. And then Helios gives Giles a curious glance. ]

Oh? What kinda of payback are we talking about?

How does watching droids dressed up in ridiculous costumes and performing for our amusement strike you at the moment?

[ There is a...very wide smile on his face. ] That. You're not joking, are you?

Do I look as though I'm joking, Helios? [No, Helios, he doesn't. This is the face of a man who has seen the very thing he's proposing and loved every second of it.]

This goes without saying, but you were kidnapped at the worst possible time.

No, no you don't. Which is a much appreciated sincerity. [ This just keeps getting better and better. ]

Ah. It seems as though I was. Just my luck! [ A pause. ] Why, um, exactly are the droids dressing up and such again?

The morning after you were taken...well, we spontaneously acquired an amusement park.

[Giles opens his journal, flips to the first page, and holds it out for Helios. He should be able to read Catherin'es message still there.]

Run and staffed, by and large, by droids.

An amusement park? With all the amenities I hope? [ Oh man this news? This is amazing news. Helios is rather happy to hear it. He looks over at the journal, can't read, remember? Still he does look a tad bit more excited. ] Wet clothes aside; I do believe you just made my day a great deal better, Giles.

[ He chuckles. ] I definately have to see this.

I'm not an expert on amusement parks, but there certainly are plenty of amenities. Rides, magic performances, games, sights to see, impossibly sweet food.

Wet clothes aside? I'm glad to hear it. I'm afraid you just missed All Passions closing, though - do you, um, do you think your things back at the apartment will still fit.

It's sounds wonderful! I must go and see it for myself. It's not gone yet at least. Any case you can never go wrong with sweet foods. Although the droids in and of themselves might be the best reason to go.

All Passions? Ah that's the custom clothing store isn't it? That's unfortunate. I'll have to settle for the general shop then. N-Not that my fashion sense is all that fickle. [ Just a light laugh. He's been accused of having a poor one many a time! Just bringing a finger to pursed lips. He'll hold up both arms, slightly baggy, but...yeah no they really don't fit at all. ]

Ah...I might have to pick up a few things.

There's the issue, I'm afraid. No one knows how long it's going to be there. It has been a few days, and according to Catherine this is supposed to take the place of this month's experiment. But beyond that, I haven't the foggiest. You might ask some of the villager's who were here the last time it appeared, though.

[...okay, Giles' fashion sense is probably worse than yours', Helios, but...yeah, that doesn't work. Even dry.]

If we hurry, we should be able to get to the store before it closes up for the night, then.

Not a bad idea. I'll have to ask around then, even after it leaves. I'm not sure I believe it, but, expect the unexpected is the coined term for this place. The Malnosso are certainly strange sometimes.

[ He gives a small nod and a slight smile. ] Even just one thing will work for now. I'll have to stop by tomorrow anyway. [ And he'll just start walking towards the bridge before looking over back at Giles. ]

You'll have to fill me in on all the best attractions, so I can get everything in before it up and leaves. [ There's a slight tone of excitement in there. Such a child sometimes. ]

[Giles will hurry after him. Buffy is still missing and he's trying not to focus on the fact that Helios is a girl but, hey, life has suddenly taken a turn for the better.]

My ability to do that depends on what sorts of rides you enjoy. I would happily recommend the haunted house, though.

[ Helios will slow his pace so Giles can keep up. It's not that he's in a hurry for clothes. More like he doesn't want to run into anyone else right now. ]

All sorts, Giles! All sorts. I am particular open to most things. [ His eyes light up at that and there might be a grin on his features. ] Oh? There's a haunted house too? Those always do remind me of the castle during Halloween.

[ He just laughs to himself, his expression completely mischievous. A man who knows all sorts of folklores and ghost stories decorating a castle. The possibilities are endless. ]

Yes, there certainly is, although it...isn't what you might call a typical haunted house. Far more..."sparkling" than I would generally assign to the average haunted house. But, um, there are a few roller coasters. Water rides. A carousel. Something called laser tag. Bowling with mouse-shaped bombs. Everyone has made relatively certain that I try nearly everything.

Sounds like they kept you busy. Good. I guess I had no need to be worried then. [ Helios stops before looking at Giles. Slight confused mostly intrigued. ] Did you say mouse-shaped bombs?

Yes, I did. [He looks back at Helios, mostly confused, and this is after he's played the game.] Link called it...what was it? "Bombchu". Something from his world. That seems to be the order of the park, really - things from other people's worlds.

Including, if I may add, tea.

Bombchu... [ It sounds amusing. At least as long as the bombs are contained and no one can get hurt. ] Fascinating. Like an interactive exposition.

[ Oh man this just keeps getting better and better. ] Most certainly have to stop by now. Tea and sweets? It almost sounds too good to be true.

With chickens. [Well. There might have been some singing. But nothing that couldn't be recovered from.]

We can be over first thing in the morning. It's not as though its hard to miss, after all, and it doesn't take long to walk over.
