❖ 009 // [Voice | Action]

[crisisrain]

[Somewhere not too far from the lake south of the town, Raven is struggling to keep his balance. He collapses against the trunk of a tree gasping for air in the freezing weather. In front of him, just out of reach of his foot, is his journal.] Swear I left this thing on the table... [His voice is barely heard as he slides down the trunk a little further, eventually his foot is it's just in range for him to kick book over.]

Hey guys... anyone... This old man could do with a little help, it kinda hurts. I don't know where I am, it's got some trees... snow... I think... [He moves slightly to get a better look at where he is.] Yeah lots of trees. I think that might be a lake over there somewhere, I don't know it's really, really cold and I'm... gettin' awful sleepy.

[There's a long moment of silence as Raven just sits in the snow back against the tree trunk once again, flicking through the journals pages as he tries to stop himself drifting into unconsciousness. He eventually mutters something just barely audible before throwing the open journal down next to him.]

I thought people weren't supposed ta remember these things.

That's what I'm worried about...You could have froze to death before!! [She pouts, looking a bit concerned, and maybe wanting to hit you over the head once. Such a tsundere, Miyabi, really.] I'll make it right now and bring it over later. Where will you be staying? Make sure you warm up, too.

[crisisrain]

You could take it to that house ya took me to before. If you happen ta run into a nice lady with green hair and a bow, carryin' some soup, then yer at the right place!

Gotta admit, I'm surprised to see I was missed.

[chiisaichou.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, I remember that place. I'll be sure to have it ready for you in just a little bit, Master Raven!

[She coughs a little, looking rather disturbed and so not wanting to relive the past week at all.] Ah, er--uhm...I-It was, uh...interesting.

[crisisrain]

Huh? Somethin' special happen while I was gone?

[chiisaichou.livejournal.com]

Uhm, er--We-Well...I-I think something weird happened the past week. Some people called it an, ah, experiment? People were all acting really weird. M-Myself included.

[She makes a pained face, remembering how terrible she acted to her friends and even complete strangers.]

I gave up painting and trying to become a Celestial Envoy and wanted to uhm...take over Luceti. I was really mean and terrible, too! I-I got over it, though, and then became a singer. But now I think everything is all better. I'm back to wanting to paint again. B-But Sumomo is terribly upset with me, because I cast her aside when I was "a genius scientist". I hope she forgives me...

[crisisrain]

Is that so? I think this may be the first and only time I would've preffered ta see around fer an experiment. I can't say bein' with the Malnosso was half as fun.

Yer friend will forgive ya don't worry, if it was an experiment there's no reason for her not to!

[chiisaichou.livejournal.com]

...I can understand that.

[She's not about to go into details on her kidnapping, either. It was not a pleasant experience to say the least. Raven may be able to hear some some bubbling in the background and a light tinkle as a teapot is set aside.]

I hope so. I did and said some pretty nasty things to her. And Nami seems the type to hold a grudge. But I have something nice planned for her sometime soon, so I hope that helps. I'll be over in a moment if you'd like the tea, by the way.

[crisisrain]

[Let's just roll with he's already on his way to that house.]

Sure bring it right on over, I'd love ta see ya! Just don't break the door down again OK?

[chiisaichou.livejournal.com]

Eheh....S-Sorry about that. I'll be there in a few minutes.

[And she will be on her way to that house. Raven will hear a rapping at his chamber door. on the window and, when he goes to check, there'll be a crow pecking at the glass. It's carrying the little painter as well as a cylindrical container, most likely with the hot, fresh tea inside.]

[crisisrain]

[Raven is out cold on the couch, so feel free to invite yourself in.]

[chiisaichou.livejournal.com]

[Oh, Raven... Miyabi forces her way into the house after heaving the window open - after much wriggling and squeaking and frustration, might I add - and flops inside with an undignified yelp. The crow follows suit, mumbling something about promised birdseed before resting its package on a table in the living room, near where the old man was sleeping.

Miyabi, meanwhile, will be bouncing her way over to where Raven is and watch him sleep for a minute, debating on whether she should wake him up or not. ...She errs for no. But she will bounce her way over to him and give his cheek a big, open-armed poncle hug.]

Glad to have you back.

[crisisrain]

[Even though he's out cold, he knows you're there don't ask how he murmers something about looking forward to tea in his sleep. Yeah he's missed you too!]
