ϡ - Chapter Forty-Five; an aliment [action|voice|written]

[ When the feed initially comes on there’s merely the sound of pained labored breathing. It’s clear that whoever it on the other end is trying desperately to breathe, but it hardly seems to be working well. There’s another pause as the sound of feet crunching through the snow stops. A deep breath filters through followed by a very agonized, wet, and pained cough, which sounds a bit distant as the afflicted turns away. The voice that comes out is slightly Romanian in accent when the person finally speaks. It's shaky and pained despite the attempts to not sound too much so, as if Helios doesn't want anyone to know his aliment at the moment.]

Ah. It’s snowing. R-Reminds me of when I first arrived here. [ A few moments of soft coughing as he continues to walk through the snow. He isn’t really enjoying the snow as much this time around. ]

I’m s-sorry for taking so long to comeback, they k-kept me a bit longer then expected. [ Helios would be one to apologize amidst having something like this. Another few coughs before there’s some stumbling. His voice is soft and if it wasn’t so quiet out he probably wouldn’t even be heard. But talking loudly is just really far too much for him right how. ] Ah. How long was I away for, exactly? Did we g-get more new arrivals yet? If-if we have I-I suppose a welcome is in o-order. [ Another cough or two as he tries to clear his throat. ] W-Welcome to Luceti, if-if you have just arrived. I hope you g-get...get situated nicely.

[ He sounds out of breath as he tries to get it back. But his chest and lungs just are not cooperating. His panic is thinly masked, because he knows that something is terrible wrong. ]

I’ll be home- [ Another fit of coughing as he tries to steady himself against that tree. Each one sends a tremendous amount of pain through his chest that he really just can’t talk anymore. He’ll switch to writing then instead so as to not worry too many people. ]

[ Written ]

I’ll be home shortly. Raine. I. I don’t think I’ll be able teach at the school for the next few days. [ And with that nothing else comes from him. He would ask for assistance but he doesn't want anyone else to get sick, if they even can. He’s missed so much but it was probably best that he didn’t go to school like this. He’s barely able to stand as is and his chest hurts quite a bit too. If you couldn’t tell Helios is a bit under the weather one look at his pale, slightly damp face will show you everything you need to know. And should you happen across him making his way back through the village from the woods behind C2 you will notice how tired and utterly miserable he looks in that snow. Coughing fits will overtake him slowing his progress back to house 44. ]

((ooc; Helios has come back with TB. It's not contagious (ICly though that won't be known) or able to be cured. But it won't get any better or worse for the week or so that he has it. It's in a fixed state of the later stages of the disease. ))

ϡ - Chapter ThirtyFour; The snowy white day and the curse [Action (for House 44)|Voice|Written]

[ There’s the rhythmic clink of a knife cutting through vegetables and on the cutting board. There’s a small humming coming from the person doing said cooking before they stop. ] Ah! G-Good afternoon everyone. I hope everyone is enjoying themselves today. It looks like we have a bit of a snow storm going on, hm? Make sure to bundle up if you do go out.

[ There’s a hum and then another chop or two. ] Snow. Snow lots of it. Plenty to do with it though. Speaking of I have two ideas I thought might be nice to bring up. First one being a delivery service of sorts! It'll run out of house forty four and we can get you anything you might need during the winter...during times like this, for example. Because walking out in this kind of weather is just dreadful. H-having teleportation magic makes it loads easier a-and I think it'll help people out just a little more. I-I suppose requesting things over the journals would be the fastest way to get it to you. I haven't quite worked out all the details for it yet. But having it as a service available for the winter months might be beneficial all around. [ He'll clear his throat before continuing. ]

The next is a bit more fun and less serious. I thought up the idea back in December, if you saw my snow sculptures walking around that one day. How does a nice, light, fun snow sculpture competition sound to everyone? You can make teams based on the community buildings, houses, or simply join up with your friends! I-I think…it might be nice to do. It’ll help with the recent going ons around here. [ Lots of people leaving some good old fashion fun wouldn’t hurt. ]

As for prizes…well I’m not quite certain what one could ask for when you can get whatever you want. It’s a rather tricky thing to come up with prizes here, but not impossible. Ah! But…there is the hot springs. Perhaps the winning team can take a few hours or a day to have the hot springs to themselves. Maybe having the food of their choice cooked for them while up there? [ Just going to be chopping some more yup. ]

I don’t know when to have it either, actually. Maybe right after Valentine’s Day? [Oh boy Valentine's Day. That is coming up rather soon, isn't it? ] Depending on the amount of snow we get. I-I’m sure it’s not going to melt anytime soon. Could always make more too…

But, yes, if you have any feedback for it I’d love to hear! A little community fun can go a long way after all. I think Luceti could use- [there’s a long pause and then a muted cry of pain comes over the journal. It comes out as a pained gasp and the knife he was holding clatters to the floor but only after Helios cuts himself. Damn. He'll just quickly grab a nearby towel and press it against the wound. Helios turns off the voice function as soon as it happens so no one else can hear it. But, oh, damn he hopes no one is home right now. It’s back, this pain, oh gods it’s just like getting it the first time. He’ll just brace himself against the kitchen counter as he bites back those tears. The next part is said shakily. Helios manages to keep his voice level however. ]

S-sorry about that. But I think everyone could agree that Luceti could use some fun. I'll be around so-so if anyone has any questions feel free to ask. Th-there's also the ah... [ Give him a second he's trying to brain things while all this pain is hitting him at once. ] Th-the meeting tomorrow, too. I can answer things there as well, if-if people need t-time to think on it. S-Stay warm today everyone. Hot chocolate is a wonderfully good remedy for this sort of weather. [ Of all the times to get back his curse. It was bound to happen. He knows that. Nothing ever lasts forever. ]

ϡ - Chapter TwentyEight; The headmaster returneth [voice|written|action]

[It's hard to say how it felt coming back from that experience. It was like...a weight had been lifted, really. The reminder of his death finally gone much like the scars he has acquired from it as well. Helios doesn't remember much of what John did to him, the drugs still in implementation to a degree. Either way his glasses can be seen not on his face but in his hands as he stares at them before looking down at his journal with a faint smile. It says his name, nothing special, but he can read it again. He'll adjust them and put them back on a small sigh escaping his lips as he does so. But in the early evening a groggy blonde haired spectacles wearing man can be seen tripping, no surprise there, almost on his own two feet as he makes a vain attempt to reach the library. He manages to...land himself outside the library doors before sliding to the ground in defeat. Too taxing and he's too tired to really go any further. This is nice though, the weather is nice enough, and he hasn't set foot near the library in far too long as it is. Despite the destination not fully met, Helios isn't all too bothered given his state he’s actually rather content even. If anyone walks by he'll be sitting there for a long while, eyes closed almost as if he’s not entirely awake. He's definitely not going anywhere that's for sure. But! That's what the journals are for is it not?

The writing that comes over the network is slightly messy but still eligible. ] I'm...I'm back. I hope I didn't miss anything in those few brief days? You never can tell what Luceti will throw at a moment's notice though, hm? [Oh this is wonderful, this is...amazing. After four months he can actually read again. While no big deal to some...Helios has missed the comforting act very, very much. But...something is off just a little. He's pretty sure there's no colors when people write...so why was he seeing them? The transmission switches to voice. ]

That's rather odd. Would anyone be so kind as to assist me by writing their name? Or anything really. I-ah, it's very weird... [ A thoughtful hum on his end there's the sound of a pen tapping against a hand. Before long this shows up on the screen. ]

Ha! Fascinating. I'm not sure what it is but...unless this is another strange experiment... [Which it very well might be. Still Helios will switch back to writing just to see what colors letters will be and whatnot. He’s like a five-old okay? The drugs aren’t helping either. ]

It’s getting closer and closer to Halloween isn’t it? Ahh! Halloween is orange. [Getting off track Helios, focus, focus! ] But! Yes. There’s a tradition back in my world for those not of the faint of heart, and with the will and courage to brave the strange and unknown. It’s simply known as one man hide-and-seek. Strange, I know, but the children and teenagers back in my world seem to enjoy it. It’s become something of an infamous hit in my time. There are several steps and items one must take and use in order to ensure their safety while playing it.

[ He can’t really write out too much now. He’s so out of it and it really just hit him, oh dear. But he will manage to write out the steps, poorly and in worse writing that before, but it’s still legible…he thinks. ]

( A guide on how to play one man hide-and-seek )

I think that covers it. If you have any questions or concerns about it do let me know and I will try to answer to the best of my abilities. Let’s see what type of spirits are residing in Luceti.

Oh and do try to not get too spooked; it’s all about having fun after all. [ If you could see his face there would be a wry smirk on it. ]

[Voice: Poorly Filtered to Frederic sometime later]
[ He sounds rather tired but the concern is evident in his voice. ]

I’m terribly sorry about…about missing today. I-I tried to get…to get this penalty removed as fast as possible. Are you alright? W-Would you mind if I stopped by? [ Nevermind him actually getting there. He'll drag himself if he has to. ]

((ooc; Sorry for the tl;dr folks. And for those who are curious Helios just came back from his death penalty removal so he currently has synesthesia for the next week until it wears off. ))
