sync the tempest. ([personal profile] trashed) wrote2012-03-20 01:20 pm

→ 003; [action]

[For anyone walking along the village today, they might come across a rather strange sight. Two girls who look like they could be twins walking towards the clinic, with one hanging onto the shoulder of the other... or rather, one being held up by the other. And “she” doesn’t look too happy about it, either. But when is that one ever happy, really?]

--I swear, once these stupid drugs wear off-- [“She” started, blinking as if trying to get the effects to go away. Of course, it wasn’t going to work. It had taken a lot to sedate Sync, surprise surprise.]

It’s only a little bit further until we reach the clinic. [Ion all but ignores the attempted threat, keeping “her” voice soft in the hopes of keeping Sync’s temper at bay. Not that there’s much “she” could do to Ion in this condition.] Are you tired? We can stop and rest for a little while if you’d like...

I’m fine. [“She” snaps.] I don’t need your help at all. [Even ignoring the fact that “she” can’t walk in a straight line at the moment, which was why Sync was even depending on Ion to walk at the moment. It’s not like “she” wanted to, but at the moment it was inevitable.]

[Ion only sighs, once more ignoring Sync’s words and stopping at the nearest bench. Sync may still be far more affected than Ion, but that didn’t mean Ion wasn’t feeling tired as well. AND SYNC WAS A FATTY SO HE WAS HEAVY....

...HEY NOW IT’S MUSCLE OR SOMETHING OK.
Sync sits with a sigh as well, not exactly fighting it for once. Even though Sync had said it wasn’t needed, “her” body was saying the exact opposite. As much as “she” wanted to get away from the whole situation, there was no way Sync was going anywhere fast.]

[Anyone out there want to help two “girls” in distress? Or, alternatively, anyone who actually knows them might see fit to realize those “girls” are not normally supposed to be girls...]


--

[Once Ion’s left Sync in the clinic to rest up, he’ll start making his own way back home. Only this time, he’ll be putting a bit more effort into concealing the little change the Malnosso decided to stick him with this time around... not that it’ll be very difficult, of course, given he is Ion. He’ll probably be walking a little unsteadily until he finally makes it back to House One, whereupon he’ll try to quietly make his way back to his room so he can curl up under the covers and sleep for awhile.]

[Of course, someone is free to intercept him, either to help him back home or greet him upon his return. Though he might be a bit more stand-offish than usual... and you would be too if you woke up as the wrong gender today.]


--

[Well finally, the rest of the drugs have worn off, and Sync’s back to his normal self -- personality-wise, that is. Everything else...has gotten him into a bad mood. Now that he’s not so sedate as he was earlier, he’s much more prone to losing his temper on anyone and anything he comes across. Kicking a puppy? Yeah, that’s what he’d like to do right now. He is slightly satisfied about the coat that Ion gave him, but there’s no way he’ll admit that ever. Just less embarrassment for him later, right?]

[He’s also making his way back home, hoping to just sleep off this curse Luceti brought on him. Maybe...maybe it’s just a bad dream.]

[But he’s pessimistic enough to know that that’s not even true, so he’s not going to bother hoping for long. Run into him? Good luck if you choose to...]

((ooc note: Please note in your subject line whether you’ll be running into Sync and Ion in the beginning, or either of them separately! Keep in mind three-way threads may move slower than others because timezones are a jerk. Or you can run into both separately, because this is funny ok ok.))
distressedude: (Watching over the fall of the world.)

[Proper introductions are overrated! ...or, you know, they can wait until they are at the clinic and can rest for real.]

Thank you, Florian. I'm not sure how much further we'd be able to get on our own...

[He turns to Sync, ignoring for the moment that he only just moments ago said he didn't need any help, and asks in a gentle voice:] Is that all right with you, Sync?
distressedude: (Unsure)

[personal profile] distressedude 2012-03-21 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[Coherency is good, but Ion isn't so sure he wants to be the one to drop the bomb on Sync, given his temper. With no Malnosso in the direct vicinity, the only one to receive the brunt of Sync's anger would be Ion.]

[But he can't just wait until he figures it out himself. Whenever that would be.]


...have you heard about the sort of... changes the Malnosso are capable of making?
positivelycharged: (but)

[personal profile] positivelycharged 2012-03-21 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sync's answer worries him a little, but again, Ion's soothing tone keeps him from rescinding his offer, and he stands there awkwardly, wondering if it'll be okay.

He really does want to help, and the awkward worry is plainly shown on his face.]
distressedude: (But why is the rum gone?)

[personal profile] distressedude 2012-03-21 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Nephry?

[If she wasn't too lost in her thoughts, his footsteps should have alerted her that he was there. Otherwise, when she looks up, she'll see him with some rather fantastic looking bedhead and a small frown.]
silversnowfall: (sure)

[personal profile] silversnowfall 2012-03-21 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
You're awake. Do you feel better?

[A motion to the tea, on the stove - help yourself - and a small smile.]

You don't look like you slept well.
distressedude: (Oh come on now!)

Yep!

[personal profile] distressedude 2012-03-21 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh, hey, Ion vaguely remembers this person! Vaguely. He was a cat at the time and he's still pretty out of it right now himself.]

[Man, Luceti is weird.]

[In complete contrast to Sync, Ion's rather grateful to see someone approach them.]


Actually, we've both just been returned from a kidnapping. We were on our way to the clinic now, but... [Well, given that Ion sounds almost entirely out of breath should be an indicator.]
distressedude: (Sweatdrop)

[personal profile] distressedude 2012-03-21 06:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, Ion's just going to sit there and watch as Sync tries, and then fails, to stand. Can take care of yourself, huh?]

[Ion stands easily enough, though with a soft noise that clearly says he aches. He looks down at Sync for a moment and then looks back at Florian with a smile.]


Don't worry, he's just in a bad mood because of the experiments. [And because he's Sync.] With one of us on each side, we should be able to help him walk down to the clinic easier.
distressedude: (This isn't what it looks like!)

[personal profile] distressedude 2012-03-21 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
They're never permanent, but... the things they're do don't always make sense. Or seem possible.

[Okay, enough beating around the bush. Hopefully Sync doesn't notice that small blush on Ion's face because that would just make this more awkward than it already is.]

...and I think they may have changed you... a little. [Just follow his eyes, Sync. Where's he looking...]
distressedude: (Unsure)

[personal profile] distressedude 2012-03-21 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I feel a little better, yes. Though I may still go sleep for awhile longer in an hour or so... [He'll move over to the pot and pour himself a cup before sitting at the table in the chair nearest Nephry.]

[...and though he brought the blanket out for the purpose of staying covered, at the moment, he doesn't seem to care enough at the moment to bother rearranging it so it does its job properly.]

positivelycharged: (talk)

[personal profile] positivelycharged 2012-03-21 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Really? [That's a plausible enough excuse. He nods at Ion's suggestion, warily watching Sync as he moves close enough to help out.

As if he's approaching an injured stray cat that'll scratch if he makes a wrong move.]


The clinic's not too far away, right? You both look really tired.
thinglike: (Right there)

sarah made me do it

[personal profile] thinglike 2012-03-22 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Give his tiny Cheagle brain a second to process this complex information.]

Oh...you're right, you're not Florian. You just kind of look like him.

[And what would that mean? Someone who looks like Florian, who looks Ion, but who isn't Ion?

...and then, suddenly, Mieu is glad he's still just flying there.]


You're not Florian! You're Sync! What are you doing here?
falenandawn: (huh2)

\o\

[personal profile] falenandawn 2012-03-22 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
....A kidnapping? [Completely ignoring Sync at Ion's words, given a kidnapping almost never left someone 'fine'. His eyes widen a bit, and he nods in understanding. The dazed looks... that was probably why, wasn't it?]

Do you need healing? I am afraid I am no doctor, but I have magic that might help.....
telefononhold: (19. i'm just following my destiny)

hello, little replicas B) the both of you'll do nicely

[personal profile] telefononhold 2012-03-22 01:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[Spring was so nice! It was warm and nice and it didn't mess with his illness too much and there were two people who looked just like him coming around to the clinic --





Great. More replicas. Maybe one of them was actually his successor this time.

Except they both seemed like chicks, so maybe not?

Goodness. Well, there's no way they couldn't miss him (walking out of the clinic after getting yourself checked over again for the ~falling feathers~ thing is awful) so he might as well greet them. Put your best smile forward, Fon Master.]


Hello there.
silversnowfall: (into consideration)

[personal profile] silversnowfall 2012-03-22 02:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm glad. Is there anything I can get for you?
distressedude: ("I'll tell you when you're older"? Why?)

/SCREAMS in excitement. 8D Post order: Original > Replica > Trash?

[personal profile] distressedude 2012-03-22 02:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hard to miss, indeed. The moment they turn the corner with the clinic only a few feet ahead, Ion freezes. There's a moment, a short moment, where he wonders if this was just Florian again.]

[But no. Florian and Ion were much closer in height, and Florian had longer hair. This was someone else. Someone younger. And though the possibility of more replicas than just Florian having survived has crossed his mind since they met, somewhere in the back of his mind he knows that this isn't the case.]

[This was the real one.]

[And almost just as quickly as that thought crosses him mind, he realizes the implications of thinking such a thing (if there's a real one, there's a fake one, right?) and for a moment, he forgets how to breathe. It's a miracle he doesn't drop Sync there and then, because he's not in any position to word a reply just yet.]
distressedude: (You can't really mean that?)

[personal profile] distressedude 2012-03-22 02:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I... think they may have turned you into a girl.

[Well, actually, he knows they did. It's kind of hard to miss that slight chance in the tone of his voice, and those curves--]

[jhsdhfkjsfd looking away now. And maybe scooting back a bit because Sync looks mad.]
