fortuneprince | 7th Case - [Voice]/[Action]

[Voice]

[Though it's relatively quiet, a slight breeze can be heard passing over the mic. The sound of leaves rustling against one another is also there. That calm silence lasts for only a minute, then a voice appears though its also rather quiet]

...It seems I have been brought back. [Another pause then she speaks again, a bit more irritated] Unfortunately, I'm unable to remember anything that happened in the time I was gone. Dammit.

...My body aches...I don't think I'll be able to move off of this branch in this condition. I...need to rest... [Her voice fades off.]

[Action]

[Not too far from the village, up in a tree on a thick branch, there lies a Naoto, but she isn't very high up at all. Someone could easily get her down without climbing themselves. One leg is dangling off of the branch and the other is up on it. Her back is resting against the trunk behind her and the journal is resting nicely in her lap.

Her face and neck bare a few scratches and her arms are covered in deeper cuts that disappear up her sleeves. Not to mention she's relatively weak so that makes moving around an issue.

Although she looks like she's asleep, her eyes being closed and all, she's only just resting so she'll notice anyone who comes by.

Though she isn't aware of it right now, she's lost all sense of feeling/touch, temporarily of course. For example, she wouldn't be able to tell if something was hot or freezing by touching it or like she can't feel someones body heat.]

Is that so? That's very impressive for someone your age.

[She blushes a bit from the compliment]

Thank you, though I'm no where near as great a detective as I want to be yet.

Don't worry. You'll still have plenty of time to hone your skills. As long as you keep striving for perfection, you'll become greater with every case you work on.

Yes, you're absolutely right. [She smiles]

If I may ask, what was your occupation in your world?

[There is a very considerable pause before he responds. When he does, his tone of voice may imply that he doesn't really want to talk about it. Either that, or he's just not being entirely truthful.]

... I was a soldier of sorts.

A soldier? I see.

[That would explain his serious attitude towards things.]

... I was preparing to retire just before I was sent here. That was over three years ago. [He's convinced that he's not allowed to have real peace in his life.]

So you've been here for 3 years? [She frowns a little] I do hope you are able to retire when you return to your world. If that's what you want.

[He smiles faintly at that. He really does want it, mostly because the day he can officially retire would be the day peace reigns the united world.] I should hope so as well.

[She nods and goes quiet again for a moment as she thinks. Something feels off....]

....Yuan? Are you cold?

Cold? [That's an odd question to ask. He doesn't feel cold. Not more than would be expected from this weather, anyway.]

Why do you ask?

This may be a rather odd thing for me to say but...you're not giving off any heat whatsoever.

[He stops walking, shifting his hold on Naoto slightly.] No heat at all?

[She shakes her head and looks up at him] None.

[Well, that just leaves Yuan to wonder where the problem lies. Is it his body, or Naoto's senses? Considering that the girl was just returned by the Malnosso, he's got a suspicion he knows which it is.] ... Are you cold?

To be honest, I'm not cold nor do I feel warm. [She leans forward to feel her pants, since they're black and the sun is out they might be warm, which they are, but to her they aren't] ...The Malnosso.

[He manages a soft sigh before he continues on his trek towards the village. It shouldn't be too far, now.] If the Malnosso are to blame, it should pass soon enough.

Yes, luckily the effects don't last long. [Even so it makes her kind of upset. Who wouldn't want to feel warm?]

Just make sure you don't come into contact with anything boiling or freezing until then. [The times Yuan's seen a Chosen who lost her senses injure herself like that can't be counted on one hand. And he barely even paid attention to those girls.]

I'll do my best not to. I should be able to tell by sight. [She looks down at her hands then at Yuan]

You've been kidnapped before, correct?

... Multiple times. [And the longer he stays here, the bigger the chances it'll happen again.]

What symptoms have you returned with in the past?

All sorts of things. From physical injuries to the loss of my voice.

I see...how long were you unable to use your voice?

A week or two. No more than that.
