Summary: Veronica discovers her first regain
Warnings: Usual tower warnings

Room 1-17

[The thing about being trapped in your room for five days was that you had to go back eventually. Veronica hadn't seen any odd things in the room since being freed, but still that was just another reason to stay away.

But here Veronica was, back in the dorms once again, sitting on her new bed. At the very least, the room had been fixed and all the debris had been cleared away. Having been struck with a thought, she hurried to her trunk to check if everything was still there.

She flipped the lid and peered inside. Everything seemed to be intact, the grenades were still there, the first aid pack was still full, and the necklace was....

Veronica froze. Reaching down with shaky hands, she lifted the necklace out of the trunk, handling it as delicately as humanly possible. It was a crystal fluorite necklace, simple in design but quite pretty. She just... sat there, holding it in her hands, staring down at it with a mixture of confusion and despair.

How could it be here? It had been destroyed.

Veronica shook violently, holding it close.

Elsewhere

[Eventually, Veronica decided she needed air. So, with necklace in her pocket, Veronica wandered off into the tower. What the Frankenstein girl might be doing will vary from floor to floor, but in general she'll be acting very distracted and depressed. Every so often she'll stop and reach into her pocket, seemingly checking for something before continuing on.]

[Hey remember that time Rick got a regain and was really distracted about it and he said Veronica would handle getting something from home better than he would?]

[As he sees her through the door, Rick might already be questioning this.]


...A-Afternoon, Veronica. [The blonde man waves, but his face quickly falls when he notices the very obviously not-pleasant expression his friend has.] Are...A-Are you o-okay? Did s-something happen?

[Iri has been returning to her own room upon spying a rather distraught Veronica out of the corner of her eye. Having been through her own struggle with the sad truth of this place as of late, she could help herself but wonder what had brought this small girl so much sadness.]

Is something wrong?

[Iri asked with a concerned look, the very same she had used long ago when Illya was crying or hurt.]
bashfulshifter: (more anxious than usual)

[The blonde man promptly sets down his cleaning implements and approaches, concern knitting his brow. He is obviously not convinced.]

--H-Hey--what's w-wrong? [A cautious hand reaches out to pat her shoulder.] Do you w-wanna t-talk about it?

[Zelos was out for air when he noticed the strange, patchworked girl. She looked pretty down; maybe he could help cheer her up?]

Everything alright there, beautiful?~
cursedchosen: (<3)

[personal profile] cursedchosen 2013-10-11 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. Here, beautiful, this is for you.

[Have a rose, compliments of the chosen. <3]
cursedchosen: (<3)

[personal profile] cursedchosen 2013-10-11 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
So you can turn that frown upside down. I bet you're cute as a button when you smile.

[<3]
cursedchosen: (<3)

maaaaaaaybe :3 but it made her smile

[personal profile] cursedchosen 2013-10-11 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
[And that's the reaction he was going for! :D]

See? Absolutely beautiful when you smile.
cursedchosen: (this one's for the hunnies)

it still gets her mind off things :|

[personal profile] cursedchosen 2013-10-11 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
The Great Zelos, of course!

[He'll smile, bowing down and offering his hand.]

May I ask your name?
pure_as_snow: (sad)

[personal profile] pure_as_snow 2013-10-11 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
Would you like to talk about it? I've found people often feel better after sharing with others.

[Irisviel spoke with the authority and grace of a woman and mother of some years as she maintained eye contact with Veronica. She wanted to help, even if she didn't know how just yet.]

[personal profile] cursedchosen 2013-10-11 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
A beautiful name for a beautiful lady.

[He'll smile, bow, and stand back up.]
cursedchosen: (plotting)

[personal profile] cursedchosen 2013-10-11 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
[He smiled in return.]

I'd like to think so.

[It's working and taking your mind off it, isn't it? ;D]
pure_as_snow: (genial)

[personal profile] pure_as_snow 2013-10-11 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
All right then, why don't we go sit down somewhere and talk for awhile, we can go to my room if you like. And I'm sure you'll feel much better after you let put everything out into the open.
bashfulshifter: (sigh)

[And it clicks. Rick looks down at her hands, looks back up, nods slowly.]

...I u-understand.

[It's about all he can offer without prying; besides, Veronica knows what he means.]

We...you d-don't have to go into d-detail if you d-don't want to...j-just sit d-down for a m-minute. Please.

[The idea of Veronica wandering onto a floor full of monsters without realizing it makes Rick very anxious. At least this way he can keep her close, make sure she's safe.]
