[OPEN] MAGICAL MIDGET ADVENTURES... STARTO!

[shortafewcircuits]

Characters: [AU7] Waver Velvet, OPEN
Setting: Dormitory floors, fourth floor, random floors.
Format: Action
Summary: Waver searches for her family, sulks around as Wavers do, and then explores a little.
Warnings: May include monsters etc. I'll update accordingly.


Dormitories

[Waver doesn't want to believe what she's been told. It would be so much easier to tell herself this is a prank, or she's being held for ransom, or... something. And that's why, as soon as she's able, the magus wanders the dormitory floors with only one goal on her mind...]

Brother! Brother? Derry! Where have you gone? Derry...!

[The girl's search for her sibling is more than a little frantic, and she'll stop to ask anyone if they've seen him, whether she recognises them or not.]


Floor 4

[After giving up her search, Waver can be found sulking in an out-of-the-way chair with her bowl of oatmeal and a small pile of books pilfered from the library. Every now and then she makes a note of something on her phone, but for the most part she just looks like your average Waver, trying to distract herself.]


???

[Eventually she'll get bored with reading and attempt to go exploring. She's not daft enough to leave the stairs on any floor that looks suspicious, but sometimes things don't go according to plan, do they? It only occurs to her after some time that she should probably rush back to her room before nightfall, if what she heard was true...]

Comments

[shortafewcircuits]

How can you expect me to just calm down!? I've been abducted and I can't find my brother!!

[fionnuisce]

Your brother? I don't have a--wait.

[Hadn't Diarmuid told him about something like this? Right, he'd nearly broken a terminal when he heard there was some world where he was a girl and also apparently Kayneth's daughter.]

[Ew.]

Your name's Waver, isn't it? And your brother...Diarmuid, right?

[shortafewcircuits]

How did you know that?

[If he wanted to surprise her out of her panic, he can consider this a great success. Waver stares up at the man, trying to recall if she's ever met him before or not. He looks vaguely familiar, and yet... not in any way that clicks.]

[fionnuisce]

You probably wouldn't believe me even if I told you.

[Waver sighed, adjusting the sunglasses on his head.]

Look, this place is definitely dangerous, but I can at least tell you you're safe enough with me. Your brother's not exactly here, but I think your...mother is.

[Ew ew ew the concept was creepy.]

[shortafewcircuits]

Well that's terribly old codger of you.

[Only old people say things like that. And her papa, because he hates fun-- wait, did he just mention her mother?]

My mum is here? By herself?

[fionnuisce]

I'm not that old--oh goddamn it, never mind. I think I remember someone saying she was around here.

[shortafewcircuits]

Then you shouldn't talk like it, otherwise the misconception is your own fault.

[fionnuisce]

Maybe you shouldn't talk like an annoying twit.

[shortafewcircuits]

I'm sorry, grandpop, were you saying something?

[fionnuisce]

Look, I'm trying to help you here, so how about we not antagonize each other like idiots?

[shortafewcircuits]

...I'm sorry, sir. I don't take to stress well.

[See, she looks sheepish and everything.]

[fionnuisce]

...Don't worry about it.

[shortafewcircuits]

Are you a friend of mum's, then? You can't be a friend of papa's; he hasn't got any.

[fionnuisce]

[Kayneth had no friends. Shocking.]

I'm the successor to Kayneth's title.

[Waver really didn't like being dishonest. But he knew when to be very particular with his words.]

[shortafewcircuits]

...That can't be right. I'm papa's heir.

[She even has the family crest, so it going to anyone else would be silly. Unless...!]

Ah, or maybe you're from the future and they couldn't make me be a traditionalist so they gave it to you instead?

[HAH, she knew she could do it!]

[fionnuisce]

...Close enough.

[She wasn't entirely wrong...the 'future' part was at least correct.]

[shortafewcircuits]

Hah! And they said I'd grow out of it...! I told them I wouldn't let them do whatever they wanted with my life or Derry's!

[VICTORY]

...Papa wasn't too put out with me, was he? Ah, I hope I didn't give him a heart attack...

[fionnuisce]

I'd explain the details, but...again, you wouldn't believe me.

[shortafewcircuits]

That's still very old codger of you. My brother is a Heroic Spirit, you know.

[fionnuisce]

...

[Siiiiiiiigh. If you're going to be a jerk about it:]

I'm from an alternate world where Kayneth didn't have kids, Diarmuid was a Servant, and I was his Master.

[shortafewcircuits]

Why would you want to have Derry for a servant? I love him more than anything in the world, but let's be perfectly honest here; he's terribly clumsy and he can't clean up to save his life.

[She focuses on the important bits.]

[fionnuisce]

[Blink blink.]

Define 'Servant'.

[shortafewcircuits]

Sort of like a maid, only without the frilly dress, and not competent enough to be a butler?

[fionnuisce]

[Facepalm.]

Not quite the same thing. But never mind, that's not very important right now.

[shortafewcircuits]

It's important to me! I don't want my brother to be your terrible butler!
