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

[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.))

[The last thing Ion remembered, he was being pulled out of the cell back in the Malnosso facility for them to do... something. He couldn't quite remember clearly. Maybe that was for the best. It couldn't have been pleasant, whatever it was.]

[But as he opens his eyes and discovers that he's laying on a patch of grass, he realizes that he's not in that cell anymore. He was back again!]

[But where was Sync? He needed to check... oh. His whole body feels sore. It might take him a moment or two before he can manage to sit himself up, taking a quick glance around the area.]


S-Sync?

[...was that really his voice? Wow, he sounded terrible right now!]
silversnowfall: (well...)

[Ion - at home (with the candlestick)]

[personal profile] silversnowfall 2012-03-20 06:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[The door opening is enough of a surprise on its own.

Ion coming into the living room blows that right out of the proverbial water. Nephry stands, crossing the room to him immediately.]


...Fon Master?

[That'll be made clear shortly.]
distressedude: (But why is the rum gone?)

/I KNEW IT...

[personal profile] distressedude 2012-03-20 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[If he weren't so tired, he'd correct her right away. But as it stands now, the most he gives in reply to that is a look of confusion.]

[Of course, he's very nearly fainting on his feet right now. His clothes are messy and the way his arms are folded across his chest might give the impression that he's cold, if anything.]


...I'm home.
silversnowfall: (surprised)

[personal profile] silversnowfall 2012-03-20 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh okay okay you pass.]

Ion. Thank goodness. [Cold or not, Nephry's offering to help you walk the rest of the way to your room.] Are you hurt?
distressedude: (I CAN'T)

[personal profile] distressedude 2012-03-20 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[The confusion lingers for a moment or so more until he answers her question with a shake of his head.] I'm all right. Just tired... was I gone for very long?

[By all means, he should be at least holding onto Nephry's shoulder to keep himself steady, but as of right now, his arms aren't moving.]
silversnowfall: (serious)

[personal profile] silversnowfall 2012-03-20 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Almost two weeks. ...Sit down, if you're that tired.

[He doesn't seem to want the help. So she'll back away, to give him his space.]
distressedude: (Oh no!)

[personal profile] distressedude 2012-03-20 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Two weeks... [If he weren't so tired, he'd probably be more worried about that. A lot can happen in two weeks, after all.]

[For now, he nods and make a turn towards the sofa, stumbling over his own feet a little. He'll manage to catch himself in time just fine, but not before making what can really only be described as a rather feminine little gasp. Even for Ion.]

[...but he's just going to try and pretend Nephry didn't hear that.]
its_rose_damnit: (FML 4evur. :|)

[Ion - at home (WITH THE MAID IYAAAN~)]

[Unfortunately, sneaking into the house is going to be very difficult, what with Dist being right in the living room when Ion walks in. He's looking around the room, holding a large sketchbook in his arm. What is he doing? He's gather specs of the room, and trying to redecorate it in his mind and on paper as well, if and when he ever has to move in the replicated piano.

He growls, tears the paper out, crumples it angrily, and tosses it over his shoulder. It was no use. With so many things and people in this one house (who is Lorelei's name keeps taking them in like stray animals?!), adding in a piano would only worsen the overcrowding issue. Honestly, that bloody princess was old enough to be on her own! Why did they have to take care of a health hazard like her?! A-And the melodist...sh-she was a soldier! She could..t-take care of...herself... Even if she was already well established.

Hrmph.]


It's no use! What is needed is more space! I can't believe how many people live in this one home...
distressedude: (I CAN'T)

omai

[personal profile] distressedude 2012-03-20 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh. Hi Dist.]

[Don't mind Ion, he's just... going to look over at him for all of a half-second before wearily trying to make it to his room. He can tell clearly enough that Dist is upset about something, even if he's not quite sure what. He shouldn't bother him. He just needed to make it to his room and--]

[Or he could nearly trip right as he walks through the door and have to all but cling to the door frame to keep from falling over. He was already tired before he helped bring Sync to the clinic. That walk here took all he had left.]
silversnowfall: (thoughtful)

[personal profile] silversnowfall 2012-03-20 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Ion, are you sure you aren't hurt?

[There are too many things on her mind for her to catch the change in sound right away.]
distressedude: (This is my "dealing with Sync" face.)

[personal profile] distressedude 2012-03-20 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[He'll sit before he answers. And then lay down. Yes, laying down is better. He could fall asleep right here... though given his "condition," that probably wouldn't be the best idea. His arms stay crossed.]

...I helped Sync back to the clinic after we were brought back. He was still too tired to walk by himself. And I couldn't just leave him there...

[...nevermind that Sync would have totally left him there.]
silversnowfall: (well...)

[personal profile] silversnowfall 2012-03-20 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
That's not an answer to my question.

[Your forehead. It is being felt. ...And despite the general warmth in the house, she'll cover him with a blanket.]

I'm going to call Professor Nebilim.

[That threat usually works.]
distressedude: (This looks bad)

[personal profile] distressedude 2012-03-20 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Nephry, I'm not hurt. I'm just tired. [He may have raised his voice just a bit there, if only for emphasis. He was fine... kinda. He wasn't lying! He was just exhausted! And a girl. But that's not important.]

[...unfortunately, instead of coming out as a raised-voice, it just kind of comes out higher pitch as though he suddenly changed into his English VA.]
silversnowfall: (studying box)

[personal profile] silversnowfall 2012-03-20 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
You're clearly exhausted. ...Forgive me for bringing it up, but you aren't always strong enough not to get sick as a result of just that. And you were kidnapped. Someone should look at you.
positivelycharged: (below)

BOTH outside

[Florian just happens to have decided to wander around the village today. He hadn't expected to come across Ion here, though--hadn't he come back already? And who's that other familiar-looking face over there? Either way, they both look really tired.]

Ah...are you okay?
distressedude: (As the Fon Master this world needs.)

Sounds good!

[personal profile] distressedude 2012-03-21 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
Oh-- Florian. [Ion's just not going to mind Sync right now. He is too tired to care about your brainbreak, bro. Or, you know, even realize it's there.]

We're... all right. I'm helping Sync to the clinic right now. We've both just come back...
distressedude: (How could you say such a thing?)

1/2

[personal profile] distressedude 2012-03-21 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
[When Ion looks over and sees Sync, naturally his first thought is that Sync must be hurt. Even knowing there's not much he'd be able to do in his current condition, he drags himself over to Sync's side and looks him over.]

Sync... can you hear me--
distressedude: (Wat.)

[personal profile] distressedude 2012-03-21 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
[...]

[Uhm.]

[Something looks... a little off.]
distressedude: (If I can keep my head held high...)

[personal profile] distressedude 2012-03-21 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Ion stops and closes his eyes for a moment. And then sits back up, blanket now pulled up to his chest and leaving his arms mostly free.]

...you're right. I'm sorry, I'm acting like a child. [He frowns and looks up at Nephry. Usually at times like this, he might ask to just see Dist, seeing as he did live here and Ion tended to be more comfortable around him.]

[But given the circumstances, maybe Professor Nebilim would be better...]


Can I at least rest for now?
silversnowfall: (surprised)

[personal profile] silversnowfall 2012-03-21 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
Of course. ...Do you want to stay here, or go to your room?

[It'll be hard not to hear that apologetic tone. Ion does seem a little...edgier than usual.]
distressedude: (Omai what do we have here?)

[personal profile] distressedude 2012-03-21 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
[Ion only barely registers Sync's reply, too busy staring down at him...]

[...and then not staring at him because it's rude to stare. Him? Her? Was this like last time where Sync would believe he'd been a girl the whole time? And why did they only do it to Sync?]

[Since of course Ion hasn't realized his own changes yet.]


Do you... feel different at all?
distressedude: (Facing an uncertain future.)

1/2

[personal profile] distressedude 2012-03-21 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
I think I'd feel better sleeping in my own bed. I just need a moment...

[He closes his eyes again and takes a deep breath, and then slowly bring himself back to his feet. His body was screaming at him to sit back down, but he wanted to be in his own room, where he wouldn't have to worry quite so much about someone seeing something...]

[Of course, since he's still somewhat shying away from asking for help from Nephry right now, his first step ends up being another misstep... and then one yanks the blanket down to his feet.]
