Number Unknown - Fourth Wall Event!

[Why does all this feel so familiar? So many people, so many new faces, it seems unbelievable. It's enough to give this poor demon a headache, especially considering he has to be out in the thick of it to make sure he keeps the peace.

Adell can be found pretty much anywhere in town, keeping an eye out for fires that need to be extinguished. Of course, he might have a few of his own to deal with if he runs into the wrong people.

How long of a weekend is it going to be for this guy?...]

Three and a half years...

[She repeats that softly, surprised by this. And instead of starting to look like she's understanding or something... she just seems to look all the more confused and uncertain of what to say.]

Yeah... it's been awhile.

[Still, he notes the confusion she's having.]

...This is gonna sound stupid to ask, but... what's wrong? This isn't quite how I was expecting you to take this.

I...I'm not sure how to explain.

[She pauses a moment, trying to figure out how to even BEGIN... especially since now this really makes no sense.]

I-I was not in Veldime before I found myself here. I... was brought to a place... a place full of parts of different worlds... by a dragon--which must sound completely ridiculous.

[He nods to her story.]

After all the things I've seen here, that doesn't sound nearly as weird as it would normally.

...But what was happening to you?

Well, supposedly they were saving me and everyone else who's brought there from something they have yet to explain. It has yet to make any sense.

Or else... everyone has just been, well, living, I suppose.

...Save you?

[He thought that was his job. Still, he can't help but genuinely worry, and it's evident in his tone.]

But you've been safe and sound since then, right? I know you've gotten a lot stronger than when we first met, but...

You have nothing to worry about. Someone with a certain promise has been keeping me safe.

[She turns her gaze to him, assuming he more than knew what she meant by that.]

That's why you being here makes no sense.

...Wait, what?

[He does understand, and it takes him a minute to realize and process it.]

...So I'm there. But I don't remember anything about dragons or another world other than this one.

I wonder if... maybe that theory is true?

[And thus why she was so confused suddenly makes sense, eh Adell?]

What theory?

Well, there's a couple of them.

If the theory that time in our homeworlds stands still while we're here, and that if we forget ever being here in the first place when we get set home, it may be possible that Adell is a future version of myself.

...The other possibility is given the nature of Luceti, it being something of a hot spot for individuals from multiple universes to end up? Is that there are actually an infinite number of parallel universes out there and we may not be from the same ones.

[...That sounds way more complicated and intelligent than you'd expect from him, doesn't it, Rozalin?]

...But ultimately, it doesn't matter if we're the same person or not. I still made you a promise. And for however long you may be here, I'll keep it.

[....Yeah that was pretty complicated, though she's not as surprised as you might expect. She knows Adell is smarter than he let's on sometimes and she also knows he's full of surprises... what with her Adell building a house. 8D ]

...Adell...

[She can't help the affectionate smile, before she tries to hide it behind a bit more of a smirk.]

Idiot. You certainly sound like the same person.

[...That smile looked oddly warm for Rozalin, but... he can't say he didn't appreciate it. He wouldn't call attention to it, though it, and her reply brought quite a smile to his face.]

Glad some things never change.

[For either of them.]

Hmph. If you had forgotten about that promise of yours, then I'd be truly worried.

[It does, deep down, worry her a little that maybe it's even her Adell's experiences that could also have been lost... but it's really impossible to say, so she tries to ignore the ache that would come with that.]

Well, forgetting it just wouldn't be my style.

[Truth be told, the idea of losing his experiences in Luceti only to be shoved into a new world worried him too. It pretty much flew in the face of everything he fought for back home. But for the moment, it was no matter.]

And you know I can't let that happen.

[Honestly, talking to her like this... it was the happiest he had felt in quite awhile. It was a truly strange feeling; she had only just gotten here, after all. And there was so much more to explain and talk about, but...

It just didn't weigh on him as heavily as it did before.]

[It's good to see him smile... it seemed like he'd needed it. She continues to smile, amused.]

Of course not.

[She pauses a moment glancing around, before looking back at him with a teasing expression now.]

So, Battle Maniac, you aren't really going to keep me standing around outside a building all day, are you?

Edited 2013-01-27 03:09 (UTC)

[Battle Maniac. That was a name he hadn't heard in far too long. It doesn't bother him to hear it now. In fact, all he does is laugh heartily at it.]

I guess not. It is a bit chilly out here, anyway. Come on, I'll take you back to my place. There's more than enough space for you to stay. Just so long as you don't mind living in a dog house or something again.

[He's teasing, and every part of his tone says so. Still, he offers her a hand to take if she wants. After all, they may have to push through a crowd or two.]

[Somehow... she thought calling him that would be a good thing.]

Well, I suppose I can make due.

[She plays along with his teasing and even taking him up on his offered hand. Whatever other reasons she may have for it, certainly not getting separated is one very real one. There's a lot of people here... she doesn't particularly fancy being lost amongst the crowd again. ]

Although, anything will be better than what I have had to go through...

[This she says with all seriousness as she has experienced something FAR worse than a "dog house" now.]

[He begins leading her along the path, toward the community building where he lived. It wasn't far, thankfully, but the crowds made it a little trickier to navigate.]

What do you mean? What happened after the dragons took you, Rozalin?

Well, we had no where truly to live at first... thus I was forced to live in a... a tent.

[OH the MASSIVE amounts of contempt she held for that living arrangement.]

[...Okay, he bursts out laughing again.]

I-I'm sorry, but how in the hell did I talk you into that?

I didn't really have much choice, at first. [Of course, then they found that part of Veldime.... but she decides to avoid explaining that for now, especially since she doesn't know quite how to explain it.]

You also did start building a house...

Heh, I guess construction is one thing the two of us have in common, then.

[He chuckles at the thought of building a house though. ...But if he built a house for himself and Rozalin, then... they must've still been living together. Well, that suited him perfectly fine.]

I'm sorry you had to deal with the tent for that long, though. At least here we have a roof over our head, electricity, and enough stuff to be comfortable. It's not five star or anything... but it's good enough.

[He leads her into another community building, much like the one they were talking by, and up a flight of stairs to the second floor. He heads to his front door and opens it into his apartment.

It's kept surprisingly clean, though much of the decorating is kind of sparse. It's kind of expected for Adell. The main room has a couch, a couple of chairs, a desk, and some other furniture. It's spartan in nature, but it's at least warm and comfortable and passes enough for a home. The doors to the bedrooms are all closed though.]

[She lifts a brow at this, but decides to ask later as she follows him.]

You certainly don't have to apologize.

[She chides him softly. She'd heard plenty of those from her Adell.

She's not so surprised it's clean, given messy isn't really 'his style', but the fact it's even somewhat furnished is impressive. She looks around curiously.]

Do you live here alone?

[He nods.]

Yeah, I do. Moved in here awhile ago. Haven't really found anyone who's needed a roommate around much.

[Plus he's... choosier about who he lives with these days.]

Come on in, take it easy and rest. I'll go get one of the bedrooms set up for you.

[After all, he hadn't yet figured that she and his counterpart shared a room now.]

I see...

[She will be happy to settle down on that couch of yours there. And, yeaaah.. and she's not about to say anything about that.]

Ah... thank you.
