[How long had it been? Gold wasn't entirely sure. The hours turned to days, and the days turned to weeks while he was in that place. He couldn't be sure how long he'd been gone or how long he was stuck in that stupid lab. All he could think about now was that he was back in the village.

Around him, he could hear the crashing of the waves against the shore. He could feel the coarse sand beneath his fingers as he laid sprawled out.

The beach, huh... Man, to leave me with a vacation after that ordeal? You guys are so hospitable... [He mused to no one in particular, but really hoped that perhaps the Malnosso were listening.

Finding the strength to at least sit up, Gold grabs his journal that was conveniently nearby, to broadcast a message.
]

Guess I'm back, guys. Hey, think I can get a hand or five here? I've never felt this sore in my whole life. It really kinda hurts to even move right now. [And that says a lot coming from a guy who gets blown up by dangerous beasts on a regular basis.

After that, he turns off his journal and just flops back on the sand. Yep, just gonna lay here.

[Sometime after Gold's managed to make it home courtesy of some kind soul, learned about how half of his friends had gone home, and had some time to rest up, he's out and about in the village. Previously, this sort of thing would have hit him hard. He'dve become sulky and put-out over the thought of his friends leaving him behind. But he refuses to become like that again. He won't let despair consume him like it did last time. Feel free to run into him almost anywhere in the village. Common spots include the restaurant, the rec center, the battle dome, and his friends in community building one, but he'll be wandering in the village in general if none of those spots work.]



((ooc: Gold's mallynap effect is special. Remember in the games when you'd try to ride your bike indoors or try to use a key item that you weren't supposed to, only to get greeted by those lovely words from the Professor, "There's a time and place for everything! But not now." or something to that effect? Well, that's what's literally will happen to Gold. He has a nondescript voice in his head for the duration of the effect that, when he tries to do or say something, there's a possibility it may prevent him from doing it, telling him why, like "it's not time" or "you can't do that here" or something like that.

There's also a certain degree of reality warping to it. For instance, if he tries to go through a doorway to meet someone on the other side, and it tells him "this door is locked", then he isn't getting through, even if it's clearly open, and neither is anyone else, at least as long as he's in the area or until it decides that the door is now open!))

The beach? I could come with rapidash to pick you up, if you'd like, Gold.

[Vanellope's hanging around the plaza today, hoping to bother random people she sees around town. She anticipates quite a bit, since the village's full of newbies still learning the lay of the land and stuff.

But this one guy standing in front of the rec center's door, she's pretty sure she's seen him around before! And he's just been standing there without entering or turning around for the past couple of minutes.

She glitches behind him, not caring if her sudden appearance is enough to scare him.]


Sooo are you gonna go in or what?
sugarglitch: (never seen you smile)

action!

Can't or won't! [Give her a second while she tries to negotiate and see if she can get around him. And if she can't, well, she can always teleport her way ahead of him!]

[Well, it's about damn time, she was wondering if you were ever going to get back.] I'll be there in a few minutes to pick you up with Arckee. [Sh's trying to cover up that sad voice, and... almost succeeding.]

[Well if you're visiting friends in community building one, then you'll know where to find Cilan if you feel like paying him a visit. But Floor 7 is rather quiet since he's one of maybe two people living on this floor at the moment.

...Although, does the new voice in your head prevent you from even getting to the seventh floor or should we go looking for you ourselves? ^^;;]

... okay. [Welp, now what.] We need to talk when you get here.
kickingcatcher: (N-no you can't do that to Slugma)

[voice]

[personal profile] kickingcatcher 2013-05-24 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
No, it's... nothing like that. Just get home as soon as you can, okay? [Then you're in for a shock.]
kickingcatcher: (I'm not jaded I swear)

[voice]

[personal profile] kickingcatcher 2013-05-24 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
All right. I'll be in my room. Holler when you get here. [She doesn't quite register any jokes right now, just the thought of what she has to tell him. That his brother...]

[... Gold you are so going to regret those words in like ten minutes. Crys remains silent on her end, and will instead wait for Gold.

When he comes to her room, she'll be sitting there holding the goggles Gold got her for her first birthday in Luceti.]

[A MILLION AND TEN PERCENT DONE WITH YOUR SHIT RIGHT NOW, GOLD. WHATEVER, she'll just come downstairs (looking slightly miffed) and

hug him because holy shit dude it's been a baaaaaad few days.]
I'm really glad you're back, Gold.
kickingcatcher: (You can't give up a job before it's done)

[personal profile] kickingcatcher 2013-05-24 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
[STILL DONE WITH YOUR SHIT.] Gold... Silver, Green, Ruby, Pearl, and Mister Emmet left.

[Now if you'll excuse her, she needs to be happy you're at least still here.]
kickingcatcher: (How many kids were in it...)

[personal profile] kickingcatcher 2013-05-24 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
[She can't say she's all that surprised by him rushing away like that, nor can she really blame him. She walks quietly after him, uncertain of what to say. What do you say to someone who lost four friends? For now, she'll just stand with him in the last room he enters, placing a hand on his shoulder out of sympathy.] I'm sorry...
sugarglitch: (what's this pedal do)

[Vanellope looks at him like he's stupid.]

Who even locks doors around here?
cilantro: (shall we allow the tasting to begin?)

[personal profile] cilantro 2013-05-24 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, yeah, normally people lock their doors and don't expect random people to just walk right on in. What do you think this is, a game?

Whether Gold knocks on the door or not, it sounds like Cilan did hear a noise outside so after a minute or two, he opens the door--]


Oh, Gold! How nice to see you! [Bittersweet tastes aside with their friends having recently left, Cilan smiles before holding the door open wider for him.] Please, come inside!
