♐ 001 // [Accidental Voice]

[crisisrain]

[There's an old man walking through the village. He doesn't seem lost, so to speak, but more as if he's just taking a leisurely look around as he attempts to familiarize himself with the new location. Eventually, he comes to a halt at the crossroads near house 27, opening the journal in the hope of finding a map.]

Right... where have I ended up now then?...

[He stands there, glancing around the area and then looking back towards the book. He kept telling himself over and over inside his head that he wasn't lost, how could he get lost? None of this was making any sense at all.]

[OOC: I should probably make this clear. Raven has been retconned, he has no memories of his previous time in Luceti as he's been taken from an earlier timepoint in the canon.]

Okay, here's the run down. Me? I'm twenty-four. Process that for a second, Raven. [But she says it with the slightest smile on her face.] And though the flirtation is fun? We're pretty much in the realm of friends. Letter-matching or not. Oh--friends with certain delicious baked good benefits, by the way.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

I know. I know you would never really be mean to me, not even when you're teasing.

[crisisrain]

... [Though the realm of friends doesn't exist for him yet unfortunately and for some reason, delicious baked goods is making him thing of his mortal enemy; cake.]

How old do you actually think I am?

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

[That gives Raven a little more insight into his relationship with Emil. This isn't just someone through passing comments, this is someone who trusts him.]

I might be fishy, and a joker, but I'm not a mean guy. If ya need someone ta look out for ya I'll do it!

[herotypical]

[A tentative, hesitant face.] The way you go calling yourself old man? Who knows.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Raven...

[He'd said the same thing before, and the fact that he's saying it again even though he has no memories of doing so causes Emil's chest to constrict painfully.]

Thank you. Thank you...

[crisisrain]

I'm thirty-five. Though I guess that does make me an old man compaired to the kids I'm stuck travelin' with.

[herotypical]

Thirty-five? That's--[nothing.] Nope, you're right. You're old.

[crisisrain]

Oh, thanks fer makin' me feel better about my age.

[herotypical]

Well, fine--I've known older. That any kinder?

[There is a strange, gentle jokeyness about the way she treats you, Raven. As crazy as it appears, she truly seems to be comfortable and open around him.]

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

[Well of course! That's just who he is, the father figure.]

Hey, don't get all sentimental on me!

[Action] ....i did not lose this in my inbox

[inabook]

Raven!

[and she's running over, because it's been a while and even if he doesn't remember Luceti there's no reason this should be awkward, right?] It's good to see you.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

I'm sorry, I just... I really missed you.

[crisisrain]

A little kinder I guess...

[Teasing? Nooooooo... ok maybe. Though he's noticed the way you've been speaking to him,. Women don't usually treat him like this so he can't help but wonder just how well he did know you before.]

[herotypical]

I've dated older. There, that's about as kind as I'm willing to get. See, if you'd remembered me at all you'd also remember that I'm a total bully and pretty much as sour as they come.

[...With a smile.]

[Action] Pfff it's alright xD

[crisisrain]

[Awkward is exactly the way he feels right now. At the same time, he's relieved to see she's safe and most definitely not suffering. The guilts there, but what can he really say or do about it right now?]

Ya've no idea how glad I am ta see you... are ya alright? I mean, with me here and all.

[crisisrain]

Oh gimme a break! Ya've dated older but ya won't give old Raven a chance? Awww I see how it is. Way ta break my heart in the first instance, Buffy hun!

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

Afraid that's it. It would be nice if there was an ocean here.

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

That much huh?

I don't plan on goin' anywhere, so ya won't be missin' me again for a long time. Ya'll be sick of me before ya know it!

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

This sucks! What fun is it without an ocean! I could've been a pirate or somethin'.

[herotypical]

Hey! Maybe I'd give you a chance if I weren't so very much already taken.

[No. She still wouldn't. Her definition of an older guy is...different.] But, alas. Buffy Summers is no longer on the wooing market.

[She is strangely elated to be saying this. It's something of a secret that she has been keeping until recently.]

[Action]

[inabook]

[...?] Of course. Everyone's missed you.

[crisisrain]

Why didn't ya tell me you were taken ta begin with?! I have a policy against hittin' on women with a man... or woman, depends how ya swing... already!

[Ooooh lucky Raven to find out so soon then :3]

[herotypical]

Man. Definite mannage. I'll leave the swinging up to--well, someone else.

[A tilt of her head.] Though, y'know. We did have a date semi-scheduled before you up and left.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

[It's that timeline thing Flynn was telling him about again isn't it. Maybe it would be better not to question it for now, she seems fine after all.]

Haha, never mind. Just me bein' weird. But really? Did ya all miss me? Here I was worried that ya'd be happy to see the last of this old man!
