34 [Voice/Action]

[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?

[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? ^^;;]

[Upon entering CH1, there is a ninja in the hallway looking particularly desperate. And he points towards the elevator with its green interior.]

Please! Goggled stranger! I need you to man this elevator, now!

[Gold isn't the only one returning to the house after a long absence. Freyjadour hadn't really managed to make his way back to the house until late in the day, but when he does it's quietly, and just a little awkwardly. He had been gone quite a while, and could barely remember what the state of the household had been before his 'departure' so to speak.]

[Sure, he and Platina had talked yesterday, but Diamond was still pretty down about only having a few of his seniors still around and most of all that his best friend, someone he risked his life for countless times, was gone. He doesn't even feel like eating too much, hanging around the bakery with a bag full of red bean pastries and Lax nowhere to be found. The Pokemon's trying to amuse himself back home.

Diamond definitely brightens up a little when he sees Gold wandering by though, and waves his hand.]

Gold~! Welcome home! [He really is happy that Gold's back, but from the way he's wandering around it's clear to Diamond that his senior already knows of their friends' fates.] Are you hungry? I have a lot of pastries.

[Masaomi's still in his apartment building, playing ... catch, basically, with Linda. In his floor's kitchen. Actually, both are more than a little board, as evidenced by them lazily tossing a bagel between each other while Masaomi takes a spoonful of oatmeal now and again]

[Aang happened to be spending time at the rec center today and was just opening the door to leave when he saw... Gold standing right there.]

Gold! [It's a bit of a shock at first - since he hadn't seen or heard from Gold since learning that Silver and the others had gone home. He could only imagine the hit that would be.] What're you doing?
