11th Turn [Written/Action]

Luceti.

Two things:

1. Whoever it was that found my work shop, return the pieces that you stole before the end of the day. I’ll be in the Barracks. If you fail to comply, I will find you.

It won’t be pretty.

2. What do the rest of you think about the last Shift? Was it good or bad? How did the loss of memory affect you? Do you think it left any long-term impact for yourself, your friends, and the rest of your stay in this village?

-Also. Prism Black. You deserve to be commended for your heroism. Never forget that.

Filtered to Trafalgar Law: Unhackable

I have a problem and I’d like a second opinion on it. It’s not big, but it could become complicated.

-I’d promise coffee, but I have an unrelated problem with getting it. I’ll be in the barracks.



[True to his word, Lupin will be in the barracks all day. His encounter with Spock on Monday, combined with his activities from earlier in the week had finally caught up to him. Fatigue was inevitable. He had spent the better part of the last few days asleep, never very far from his new charge. The veritable plague of crows that had been set upon him by an angered god was an unnecessary incentive. He kept the windows shut, locked away the gnawing need for a cigarette that bit at the back of his mind, and tried to ignore the judgement he saw reflected in the eyes of his avian watchmen—but he would have stayed close to the barracks regardless of their looming (and aggravating) presence.

While the days spent between dreams and fleeting considerations over recent affairs had rejuvenated him, it didn't stop the inherent restlessness that was his constant foe—the core problem that would never entirely leave. The people who knew him would be able to identify the briskness of his step and the cool control with which he held every action and every word. He was distracted by a new project , one that was completely foreign to him, and was unwilling to divulge details until the proper time came.

The thief had returned to work, but nothing was as it seemed.]



((ooc: Thread with Spock is chronologically last.))

[That answer strikes her as a little strange--not because of what he's saying, but because of what he's implying about other people.]

Are some people sad that they remember now?
lostinmyway: (Stillness.)

Oh.

[There's a long pause before she starts writing again.]

But if you don't have your memories, then you can't remember the happy times with your friends. And your memories are what make you, you. They're very important.

[She still doesn't agree with the point, but she isn't going to press things further. It's all right if they don't agree; it's good if friends have different ideas, because that's what makes them unique.

Instead, she writes:]
Are you happy to have your memories back?
lostinmyway: (Tender.)

I'm glad you have your memories back, too.

[It was nice spending time with Arsene even when he didn't have his memories, but now that he knows who she is, she thinks she'll like it even better.]

We should have some more hot chocolate soon.

That sounds delicious!

[Forget "soon" --why postpone time with a friend?] Would you like to come for a visit this afternoon?
lostinmyway: (Small happiness.)

[Too bad for him that Grune's currently under her seal; there's not a lot she can do to intervene at the moment.]

All right. Are you a little busy this week?

We could even go on a picnic!

[That might be a little difficult, given the foods involved, but they could make it work.]
lostinmyway: (Sparkle sparkle!)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2012-10-07 04:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Me too. I can't wait!

[...Actually, their picnic will have to be slightly postponed, as Grune is going spelunking with the Brigade, but hey.]
