✪ One Week ✪ [Text]

~~☆~~
Dear Sir Gunbard and Miss Yucie,
So far, it's been a week away from home. Feels as though I'm still dreaming. This city called Discedo is more mysterious with each day that passes. It looks deserted at times but there is always chatter over the radio devices. Unfortunately, I'm unable to cast any magic. Not even the weakest of it works. I can't even summon Soraoto for items. The residents here say there is a small device placed under my that is causing the trouble. Living without any magic for a week as been a bit strange. I've never realized, before my arrival here, just how much I relied on magic. I wonder if this is how other non-magical beings feel like. It's quite an experience. As optimistic as I try to stay, I'm having trouble staying that way. The more I learn about this city's history, the more depressing I become. There was even a man here who passed on with unfulfilled aspirations because I could not provide any magical assistance at all.

However, do not worry. Not everything is gloomy here. I've have met quite a deal of friendly people here. Even the unfriendly ones are a bit interesting to talk to... even if most of them appear to have lost their minds. Miss Yucie, you would love to see the bird they have here. They're giant yellow birds called Chocobos that you can ride much like you would a steed. I can imagine you riding on one, if only to fall off. I know you could do it, Miss. Even you, as well, Master! They would be an interesting addition to a carriage, don't you agree?

As much as I wish I were home, I hope you're both getting along well without my assistance. Please pass on my regards to everyone. I really am starting to feel homesick.

Sincerely,
Cube

Good Morning, Discedo!

Thank you Miss Iji and Miss Utena for all your help with moving the love seat! It really fills the empty space in here, making it more comfortable, to say the least. Thank you so very much!

Also, thank you so much Mr. Kanji for bringing over that spindle of thread and needle. I didn't quite use it all, if you'd like me to return the rest. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you sometime.

Mr. Vash, I hope you feel better today. Oh, Miss Gracia, I do hope the walls are a little nicer to you lately. You have me worried. I also hope you're healing well, Mr. Johnny. Please try not to get burned next time you dance.

Um, does anyone know the name of a man who recently passed on? I don't know his name, so I don't know how to explain besides he said he was dying... I want to sends my regards and wishes he rests in peace.

((OOC: Cube thinks nouvelliste is dead thanks to the brownie madness. Feel free to confuse him further, though. Tags might be slow for a few hours too.))

The walls

Oh no

I'm sorry for putting you through my silliness, Cube! That wasn't I was feeling a little strange was all. I'm doing fine now, thank you.

[loyal_cube]

Strange? As in a silly spell? I kept thinking you were ill. However, I'm glad you're well again!

[mercifulsmile.livejournal.com]

No, no, it wasn't a spell. I think. It was something else, I just don't know what.

But thank you for your concern! I'm really very sorry I acted so strangely.

[loyal_cube]

Oh, I see. So this kid of behavior isn't normal for you?

Oh, don't worry, Miss Gracia. It was rather fun for a while... until you couldn't stand up. But don't worry. I know you're safe now, and that's what matters.

Does this mean you can't really see wind and air?

[mercifulsmile.livejournal.com]

No, it isn't. Oh, I feel so embarrassed now! I can't believe I was so out of myself.

And you don't have to keep calling me 'miss'. Just Gracia will do, I don't mind.

I don't think anyone can see wind and air! I wonder what made me say I could see wind and air?

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

Wait, someone died? Um. You don't happen to remember any more than that, do you?

[loyal_cube]

Sadly, I don't remember much about him. All I know is he stated he was 114 years of age and he was dying. We wanted me to cast a specific spell on him but I'm unable to do magic in this condition. I haven't heard any more form him... so I'm worried. He didn't tell me his name, although I asked.

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

...114. Wow. So you must have encountered him over the network, then? And was it - well, at that age, if he was human, I'm assuming illness or old age...?

[loyal_cube]

He didn't sound old. I thought he wasn't human but he never really said either way.

Yes, over the network. We spoke... one of the few people I've found who speak Japanese.

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

Okay, so he was Japanese too. Did he sound hurt, or say he'd been injured?

There seem to be plenty of people from Japan here - my partner and I are, too.

[textile-kanji.livejournal.com]

Oh hey, it's cool man. I don't need no favors, and you can keep the rest of what I gave ya.

[loyal_cube]

Really!? Your friend doesn't mind me keeping it? Thank you so much!! I'll make sure it's used well.

[textile-kanji.livejournal.com]

Oh, well actually, it's me. Like, it's my stuff so nah, I don't care.

Heh.

[loyal_cube]

Oh. Why did you say it was from someone else then?

[textile-kanji.livejournal.com]

Oh, well...guess I was just feelin weird or somethin. Happens sometimes.

[ijianomaly.livejournal.com]

No problem! If you need any more help, you can ask me.

...Somebody died? Uh... you know the dead come back to life here, right?

[loyal_cube]

They do?

...

I- I think I remember being told that a while ago but I forgot. I hope it's not painful to come back...

[ijianomaly.livejournal.com]

Uh huh. A bunch of people died, back when there were ghosts everywhere.... You might ask one of them, I guess?

[loyal_cube]

Ghosts?!

It might me a little rude to ask such a thing...

I'm glad you haven't died, Miss Iji.

[ijianomaly.livejournal.com]

They didn't really hurt anyone, except for the people who died... I don't know the whole story.

Heh, thanks.

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

Morning, Cube. You seem to be in a good mood.

Mm! It's no problem. That made for a good workout, even if it left my arms a little sore after.

Eh? Kanji-kun helped you with that stuff? Kinda surprising...

...EH?! Someone else died recently?!

[loyal_cube]

Good morning, Mis-I MEAN Utena! I'm feeling alright, considering this city. I'm enjoying my new furniture. How're you today?

Yes he did! You know Mr. Kanji? He lent me some sewing materials so I could patch up the seat. He even has let me keep them! He's really kind... he doesn't even wish for anything in return.

I'm not sure if he died, but he may have. He said he was. I'm very worried for him....

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

Heh. I heard that. That's good to hear. Maybe you can help keep spirits up, at this rate. - Well... about the same.

Uh-huh. We've met. I talk to him over the network sometimes. He's not a bad guy to know, and it's great that he could help you out like that.

Uh... He said that he was dying? ...Are you sure that he wasn't just exaggerating, Cube?

[loyal_cube]

I really am trying!! It's harder then I wish it'd be.

He's very nice. I've very grateful for him and others who are kind here, like you. Although, I know there are plenty who are not...

He told me to pray for him... and ... [He sighs] Perhaps he was. He did ask me to grant him one last wish before he passed and...

[He goes silent]

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

[She laughs] I'm not complaining.

You'd be surprised. A lot of the people here have been very helpful and decent to me too. Though there are a few bad eggs... You just have to be careful and keep your wit's about you, as they say.

...

You're really worried about him, aren't you? Listen... You know how to contact him now, right? See if he's there right now. If not, then he'll be back soon. I know that sounds crazy, but... Death doesn't seem to work the same way here that it would in other worlds.
