3rd kick: voice/action for house 11

[kickingcatcher]

[When Crys arrives back at the house late at night, she pretty much looks like a wreck. She just looks plain exhausted, and her left arm is in a sling. The rest of her is spotted with a few bruises and small scrapes, but nothing too horrible aside from her arm. As she walks up to the house, she notices the... weird ice wall? And stares in disbelief before walking in. Why she didn't notice it sooner, we may never know. Anyway, walking back into the house now. Mega walks with her for support as Crys closes the door. Unconsciously, she speaks to nothing.]

I'm home...

[Except everyone is asleep. Whoops. Mega nudges her gently with her head, and Crys pats her back. Letting out a tired sigh, she'll just walk to the kitchen and get some water or something. And sits down with her good hand covering her face.]

[Voice]

[Much later in the day on the 24th, and at a more reasonable time than midnight, she opens up the journal and pauses for a bit. She sounds a little tired, taking a deep breath before speaking.]

Has being here changed anyone?

Comments

[Voice]

[generalflirt]

Obviously.

[Voice]

[kickingcatcher]

For better or worse?

[Voice]

[generalflirt]

Maah, that probably depends who you ask, doesn't it, Crystal-chan?

[Voice]

[kickingcatcher]

... I guess that's true. [She hesitates a moment.] How was it in your case?

[moehealer]

[Yellow totally just passed out upon her arrival back in the house, so unfortunately, she didn't get a chance to talk to Crys then! In the morning though, she does. So once she spots Crys in the house while sitting around and eating a donut, she gives her a wave.]

Good morning, Crys!

[kickingcatcher]

[Crys has a small plate of food in front of her, probably just eggs, but she's just kind of picking at it. When she hears her senior, she looks up. And pretty tired, at that.]

Morning, Yellow. It's good to be back, huh?

[moehealer]

[She nods, smiling a bit.] Yeah, it is.

[And then taking a quick glance at the sling Crys' arm is resting in..] Um.. How's your arm..?

[kickingcatcher]

Ah... [She looks down at it, rubbing it a bit.] I just can't use it much. It'll be fine if I rest it.

[contestconqueror]

... Oh Senior Crystal, it's you.

[Or rather, your fuzzy silhouette across the kitchen backbit by the fridge. He's not wearing his glasses and his eyes are tired and still adjusting to the light; this is why he has of yet to notice her injuries. Nana's feet click on the linoleum floor behind him.]

Nana woke me up because she detected someone familiar upstairs... [He sounds a little congested. He caught a cold while she was gone.]

[kickingcatcher]

... Ruby? [Uh oh, he doesn't sound too good. She walks up to the cupboards, looking around.]

Do you want me to make you some hot cocoa? You sound sick.

[1/2]

[contestconqueror]

[Waving his hand dismissively.]

No no! That's fine, I just caught a little cold being out in the rain.

[Wait hold on something is off about how you're moving across the kitchen, how you're holding your arm... He takes a few steps closer-]

[2/2] And I will tag you back in the morn.

[contestconqueror]

W-

[Sling, arm, bruises. Wat.]

What happened while you were gone?! You look awful!

yes it is time for sleep

[kickingcatcher]

Are you sure? It wouldn't take long. [And... here is the "oh darn it" face. She's busted. She scratches her cheek with her good hand.]

I just had a bit of a hard time with one of shifters. I-I'll be okay. [Just slightly traumatized.]

[Action]

[mischiefbreeder]

[Gold had been with Crys the whole walk home. He seemed perfectly fine. Chatting up a storm with her, seemingly full of energy, probably even arguing with her a bit. Typical Gold behavior, like nothing'd even happened.

And then the moment they're both inside and Crys is heading off to the kitchen, she might hear a thud as Gold hits the floor, fast asleep.]

[Action] it's okay if it's in a three way

[tsuntrader]

[Politaro is the first one to hear Gold and Crys. He pretty promptly leaps up and starts heading over to go greet Gold... Who is sleeping. Silver, on the other hand, is slower about getting up and only peeks his head out of his room to try to make out who's there.]

...Crys?

[Gold? Yeah scratch that, Silver's immediately heading out of his room to go greet them. He's fully clothed, has a few scrapes and bruises, and is limping a little if you really pay attention.]

[Action] /flips cam

[kickingcatcher]

[Crys comes back out to see Gold passed out on the floor. That idiot... she sighs, and tries to use her good arm to get him up and at least put him on the couch. But once Silver came in, a look of relief came on her face.]

Silver. Hey. We're back. [Wait what, you're hurt.] What happened to you? [Yes, she's worried.]

[aero_dienamic]

Well now, that all just depends on what you consider to be 'changed'.

Are you talking something simple or... a really big personality change, mmm?

[kickingcatcher]

I'd say any big personality changes.

[aero_dienamic]

If you compare me now from when I was back home four years ago, I'm quite different.

I'm not trying to destroy humanity! I'd actually like to have a family. I just can't~

[Action] because apparently I can never get enough Erin tags

[tsuntrader]

Of course it has. [Why respond via journal when he can just ninja behind Crys?]

[Action] and I can never get enough Cam tags. /hoards

[kickingcatcher]

[aslkfsh she jerks around at that, and then lets out a sigh. Silver, don't do the ninja thing. It might give Crys a heart attack.]

Don't scare me like that. [She stays silent for a moment before turning to face him.] In a positive or negative way?

[Action]

[tsuntrader]

Do you really have to ask?

voice

[stilldontgotit]

I think being here will change everybody sooner or later. Might not be drastic, but just think about it.

We're all tossed into this enclosure and exposed to people from different worlds and times, not to mention the ideals that come with them.

[And that's discluding the experiments and drafts...]

voice

[kickingcatcher]

Mhm. There are plenty of ways for people to change here, but I'm wondering if they have. Some people might not have a change in personality or ideals, they may remain unchanged.

voice

[stilldontgotit]

Yeah, guess you've got a point.

[Hmmm.]

You can count me in as one of the ones who has changed, though. After being stuck here for three years, it's hard to imagine going back to how I used to be.
