Mid-Day

[birdwingsandthings]

That wasn’t too bad. Not the worse thing to have happened to me. But I feel weird.

Also, I did not get a cool scar for it. In cartoons when something like that happens, the hero comes back with a powerup and a BIG scar.

So I have drawn what should have happened.



[Luce feels too weird to actually color anything, so its a simple black and white drawing.]

But anyways, I will be throwing a party soon for any plush friends you might have. Please RSVP so I can make sure they have a hat.

I'll come find you there.

...What should I call you?

[birdwingsandthings]

I don't remember the code-name thing thought up for me. So I'll just show you my name when you're there!

I'm coming there now.

Terra looks around the dorm hallway, wondering how he can find someone whose name he doesn't know.

"Hello?" he calls. "It's me, Terra." Do they know his name?

Or he could just look for someone with a big book. That might work. He starts looking in the rooms, one at a time.

The calling would be useful if Luce had his hearing aides in, but luckily for Terra, Luce had come out of Dorm 18 to get some extra energy out. He squinted he never seen this man before, but he was obviously a fellow captive here.

Luce waved the man down.

There are kids here? Terra's taken aback for a moment, but after a second thought, that drawing did seem like something a kid might do... He approaches Luce.

"Hey, I'm Terra. Are you the one who drew that picture?"

[birdwingsandthings]

Now, if Luce were a nicer child, he would inform Terra like he has many other indivduals about how he is lacking in the hearing department, but something inside of Luce told him not to.

In fact, it told him to see what he could make Terra do.

"You're whispering. Are you enchanted? Speak a little louder."

Okay, Terra figured, maybe something hit him with Silence and he didn't notice. That would be about par for the course around here. He reached out to cast Esuna -

and something happened, for sure. He felt cold, and sick, and almost weighed down by something imperceptible. From Luce's perspective, a layer of solid black slipped across his eyes, and his skin turned sallow.

"I don't...think that worked," he said aloud.

[birdwingsandthings]

Luce started to back off, well, there went his idea. It was obvious on Luce's face he was not happy about that.

[wheretheresawill]

"Wait, don't - " Terra reached out as if to stop him, then dropped his hand as it felt too heavy for his body to lift. "- don't run off, I'm still me. I think. It was just a spell." Even here, it couldn't have done that much damage. Could it?

[birdwingsandthings]

Scary looking person tells him to not run off?

Yeah, Luce is going to run. He darts back into make a post in the journals about it.

[wheretheresawill]

"Hey, wait!" Terra takes a step after him, but doesn't chase. If he's really scaring this kid, then he shouldn't make it worse by running after him. Right?

What he does do is look for a mirror of some kind, which he eventually finds in the washroom. Why did the kid run away from him? Did he really look that -

-Scary. Oh. That explained that, then.
