redjacketthief | 6th Turn [Voice/Action]

[It's mid-afternoon when the journal post is made by a familiar voice in an unfamiliar mood. A quick look at the image reveals a face that is both familiar and unfamiliar--but that smile, with it's odd curl and suppressed mirth, can mean it is only one person.]

[Failed Filter to Mine Fujiko: Completely Readable]

Hey...Fujiko? Remember that game you gave me at the end of the last month before you went on your mission? It was very clever, and the prize has been a joy. How did you know I liked history books? I'm wondering, though...why are you having me read about your ex-boyfriend's grandfather, after you made it clear that you don't want to think about it?

[There's a pause as the man notices the feed.] Oh... blast it! I messed, Fujiko. Want to meet in my place?

...Everyone, disregard that.

[Later that day the man wanders the town, his hair in a mussed disarray and red jacket noticeably missing. Instead he wears dark colors, fitted but more casual clothes, and his wings are for once in the open. He's headed to the library to return some books, gather others and other supplies. Early that evening, another journal post is made. This time, it's intended for anyone.]

Evening, Luceti, this is Red. I was just wondering...is anyone else around here missing about twenty-one hours of their weekend? Does anybody who isn't know what happened? It's just a question for inquiring minds.

Also--has anybody actually given the Battle Dome a good once over after last week?

[He's serious in his words, even if the smile is light. Ladies and Gentleman, meet the man who's going to be adamant about calling himself Red...someone you're more likely to know as Arsene Lupin III. He's not going to stand down from that either.]

[OOC: Details about how Lupin has been shifted, for the curious, are here. He has a number of physical details in terms of style that are changing beyond what's available to me in normal fanart and screencaps, so I've had to choose a PB, ~~Emiya Kiritsugu~~ a man from another anime that I've yet to actually see. Replies will have appropriate icons, thanks.]

That I'll stop being Sabriel and just be Abhorsen.

[When Mogget had first taken to calling her by the title she had hated it but now that it was true beyond a shadow of a doubt she was...resigned to it. That it would happen but she wouldn't fight it if it meant thousands of people would die.]

[It was similar, and a heavy burden for someone so young. He smiles at her, more than a little sympathetic to her plight.]

...At least you're not alone, though. You have your Touchstone--maybe he can remind you that you're still you?

...Yes, I think he'd be able to do that.

[And no Red, you are not seeing a little hint of a blush creep up to her cheeks. Not at all. >_>]

[No worries, he'll be discreet.]

That probably makes it a lot easier on your in your home, then. The idea that you have someone beside you, to remind you of litte things, would bring a lot of people some comfort.

It would.

[Provided they survive the battle against Kerrigor maybe there could be a life for her and Touchstone at home- and she's going to stop that train of thought before her cheeks get more flushed.]

Um, what is it that you do in your world? I only know a few titles that revolve around use of the Force.

[At least she had someone then--Red immediately felt happier for her. A rough lot in life can be made easier or harder depending on the company kept, and it sounded like she found a good companion.]

I don't work with the Force itself, just around those that do. I'm in Intelligence, actually. It involves a lot of info-mining and undercover work. It's nothing as grand as, say, what Luke Skywalker does, but I like it fine enough.

It sounds very important. [Not using the Force doesn't make one's work any less important after all.]

Did you work with Luke in your world or are you from another time?

It is, when it helps to retrieve data that many, many spies died sending to our cause. War is fought on more than just the front lines, after all.

...I do know Luke, quite well. We have worked alongside eachother for many years, and continue to do so now, even though he left his post and went on to found that Order of his.

Can't complain too much, though. I've helped locate and retrieve some of his students.

[At the mention of those who've died Sabriel can't help but think of all the boarder crossing guards she'd passed on her way into the Old Kingdom, young men killed too soon.]

THat's good, sounds like things were picking up for you two then.

It's been a long, slow process that's just going to continue being long and slow when we return, no matter what battles happen in the future. It's nice being able to rebuild something you never imagined would be fixed, though.

I'll be lucky if I can see the same when I return but if it can happen in your world it can happen in mine.

Hey, you never know. Strange things can happen sometimes, parallels are found, connections are made.

It'll happen when it happens. You're already pretty lucky to have found someone to share the burden with, so maybe you'll have some more.

Yeah I guess you could say that. [Considering the strangeness that can be found on the Old Kingdom, and the whole situation revolving around Touchstone, she had been very lucky to find him.]

It's not everyday you free a 200 year old prince from a state of perfect preservation after all. If my luck can hold out then maybe we can make it.

[He shouldn't have been surprised.]

That is really lucky then! If it's that good, then it should hold out for you quite well!

[The initial look of shock on Red's face makes her snort softly, chuckling under her breath.]

I'll keep my fingers crossed.
