Characters: The Summoner and YOU
Setting: Around!
Format: Action to start, but I’ll follow
Summary: Somebody's po’d about suddenly being not at home!
Warnings: None at the moment

[He’ll only stay in this room as long as he’s forced here, he resolves. Being caught so completely, staring up at an unfamiliar ceiling, is neither pleasant nor comforting. In fact, if he allowed himself these thoughts anyway, it rather terrifies him. Nothing like being dropped into an unfamiliar and likely dangerous situation with a body that won’t move. His mind reels as he waits: Gotta be a highblood plot, right? But how would they have found him… hmm. And what about his cavalreapers? Everything feels off-kilter and strange, and the very moment he can, he slips across the communal respiteblock floor, wings half opened, and tries the door]

[AND LATER he’s moving carefully through each floor, suspicious and irritated. His head is held at an odd angle as he explores, lowered slightly so he’s forced to peer up through his brows to see, but his horns carve a sharp, dangerous arc through the air, settled at just about goring level. It’s not really the best threat, but he’s made them work for him in the past when he’s been desperate. And hey, if this isn’t a desperate situation here, without his soldiers or his beasts or his weapons, then he doesn’t know what is! So yeah... watch out, guys… This troll fit to snap at the first thing that looks at him wrong…]

[Something the can help. The girl looks up at him with wide eyes briefly, but convinces herself he wasn't talking about anything specific. There's no reason to think he knows about her powers, even if that is a weird coincidence. She recovers after a moment and smiles back.]

You're right. About the-- about there being other kinds of people that can be useful. [There's a tiny hesitation, then,] What makes you think I can help?

[lkjdf no he's just intensely positive. No worries Namine!]

Everyone can do something to help. You just gotta find it, right?

[PHEW. Or that's what she would be thinking if she could. You know, read that.]

...Right. [She lets out a tiny, almost inaudible breath, and her smile widens.] That makes sense. I guess I just have to keep looking, then.

You'll get there. [8>!!!]

What's your name? Uh... if that's a thing you want to say. [He understands if not. He was kind of a dick when this all started... pff]

Oh! [Goodness, she's always forgetting things like that. ~~What is meeting new people even she almost never had to do that back in her world.~~] It's okay, I don't mind. [She's had plenty of practice putting up with people being jerks, s-sob.] My name is Naminé.

[Gives her his easy, gentle smile]

That's uh... a really pretty name. [For an ali... en... No, shush Summoner, shush]

[It's hard not to smile back, and since she's not at all inclined to even attempt to stop herself in the first place, she does. She looks embarrassed by the compliment, but apparently it's in a good way, if the quiet half-laugh is any indication.] Thank you...!

So... what's your name? If-- that's a thing you want to say.

[ljsdf chuckles]

Uh... the Summoner. Is what I guess they've been calling me. But I'm not too attached to it if you don't want to use that...

Mm... [The girl seems to consider it for a moment, then,] I'm okay with that. All that really matters is if you are. [It's his name, after all.]

[...looooord, she is so sweet ;A; He nods after a moment's thought]

It'll work. It's nice to meet you, Namine.

[~~The sweetest--~~ She would probably disagree about that thought, if it was said out loud. She gives him a smile that's fairly broad for her and nods.] Okay, then. It's nice to meet you, too, Summoner.

[Little smile, before he returns to scanning the hallways. Less tense and more curious now!]

Uh... is there is anything else that... I should know about this place, do you think? [Before he continues trying to get out of here!]

[She watches him, sparing the hallways a glance when he does.]

Well... [More things that one would expect, but she's not quite sure where to start.] ... a lot of things, I think. Um-- I guess... one of the biggest things would be that if you die here, you come back to life. [Definitely a good thing to know, especially if he's planning on stirring up trouble.]

[Oh dear, he is all about the trouble stirring...! BUT THIS IS... A VERY STRANGE THING TO LEARN???]

What? How?

[Yeah, she knows that, so her expression is suitably apologetic. Please don't freak out and think she's lying again, please?]

No one's sure. ...But, I know some people who have died and come back. I--... even saw one of them dead, so I know it's true.

[...sob well she makes it really hard when she when she gets all quiet and nervous like that. It's... pretty hard to believe! But he has already promised himself that he will... trust her... so...]

What happens? When they come back, I mean.

[She's sorry, really she is. :C She wouldn't blame him if he didn't.]

They just wake up in their room, I think, as good as new. I've never-- um, done it myself, so I can't say for sure if there's anything else to it. [Thank goodness.]

[Well that just seems much too easy...]

Can it uh... happen more then once?

[Unless there are consequences no one knows about yet.]

...Yes. [There's definitely a frown going on, there.] The biggest number I've heard is... three times.

[.........wow]

How do you die three times... [Once is enough for most people! There is actually... a certain level of disdain in his voice there. A troll who managed to die three times would be considered pretty darn useless... if resurrection was thing that could happen in the real world of course]

--....

[She looks a bit sheepish on the, er, person in question's behalf. ~~Especially since he IS a troll.~~] ...It's complicated. He's had... a difficult time. The tower isn't exactly a safe place. [...Come to think of it, she should probably let this guy know that the Condesce is about.] There are... some dangerous people here.

[LSDLFKJLJ oh gosh, is it Tavros? He will just... head in hands forever if it's Tavros...]

[But! He looks... sort of confused by this statement. Aren't there... always dangerous people around...? Is this not a thing she's used to? Hmm...]

Dangerous how...?

[FORTUNATELY FOR TAVROS NO. The kid finally got lucky for once--]

[She's used to dangerous people, but she always feels it necessary to warn people anyway.]

Well--.... [She hesitates, mouth settling into what was decidedly a frown, and after a moment she glances both ways down the hallway, then back at him. Regarding him quietly for a second, she wonders briefly if he has any reason to like the Condesce. ...Most of the trolls she'd met really didn't seem to, but... he deserves to know, even if he's okay with it. Surely even the people who liked her would at least recognize she was dangerous, if what she'd been told was true.] Some of them are manipulative, and some are just violent. And... you should probably know, Her Imperial Condescension is here.

[........WHAT]

Ah... [...nope nope nope]

[Sorry] What. What is she doing here. [There is... quite a lot of anger in his voice. He really really doesn't like the Condesce! AT ALL. In fact the very idea of being in the same tower as her sort of... disgusts him!!!]

[She blinks at him, then jumps a bit at that 'what'. He definitely sounds displeased, and really, she wishes she had a better answer for him then,] ...The same thing everyone else is, I guess - being trapped. I... haven't heard anything about her being any more control of the tower than anyone else. [Not that it couldn't be true.]
