36 [Voice] Backdated to the evening of 11/24

[mischiefbreeder]

[Gold had been off in the jungle for the past week or so, off attending to a mission with Silver. It was successful, minus some... bumps in the road, and they're just now returning to the village. As Gold rode into town, on top of the back of Explotaro, his trusty steed, the first thing that pops into his mind is to pull out his journal and make a post. Because that's obviously what you do when you first come back from a mission, right?]

Say, Cilan, think you can whip together a feast for us? Gotta say, the food I've had over the past week? Hardly what I'd call appetizing. I'm dyin' for a good meal right about now!

[There's silence for a bit, almost as if he's leaving it there.

But then he speaks up again.]

So what's been goin' in this fine village? I've been gone for ten days, so I'd expect something to have happen during that time! No way this place is so dull that every day's just as boring at the one before it. Besides, there's this... ahh, weird feeling in the air? Dunno quite how to put it, but... Yeah!

Ah, well... Probably not much point to worrying about it now, unless someone's willing to come clean?

[A sigh.]

I know it's kinda late in the day, but anyone wanna meet up, and I dunno... do something? I've gotta find some way to unwind after all this mission junk. Otherwise, I might just explode.

I don't sense an ill wind...

[But she's still frowning.]

The weather's getting cold, though. Maybe it's just the winter wind...

Or is it something else you're worried about?

[Video]

[mischiefbreeder]

I dunno. It's just that... weird kinda feeling I'm gettin'. Maybe it's more noticeable to me since I've been gone for a while.

[cilantro]

[There's a thoughtful hum as Cilan considers Gold's concern, thinking for a moment.]

I suppose there could be a different taste in the air, but if so, it appears to be rather subtle at the moment. [Then again, he's been...a little distracted lately, what with Iris and his brother Chili suddenly being around now. Nonetheless, Cilan replies with what sounds like his usual amount of cheeriness.]

But if a feast is what you desire, then I can certainly oblige! Do you have any special requests you'd like to make?

voice;

[mischiefbreeder]

I think you already know what my requests are.

[There's a bit of murmuring in the background, and then Gold adds:]

Oh, Silver says he wants somethin' sweet.

voice;

[cilantro]

[...I swear to god if it's volcano burgers and ice cream again then I will stare at you people really hard because that's kind of odd to want in late november FYI--I mean uh.]

Alright, that can be arranged! [Chili is...elsewhere at the moment, so he's not going to bother with seeing if his brother wants to help. There's a slight pause while he checks to see what they have in the kitchen right now--] How was the mission? Are you both alright?

voice;

[mischiefbreeder]

Nothin' broken or bruised. [He shrugs.]

voice;

[cilantro]

Oh, that's good to hear. [Even if that doesn't really tell him anything about what exactly happened on the mission...] How long do you think it will take for you and Silver to reach the house from where you are now?

voice;

[mischiefbreeder]

Not long at all if we head straight there.

[feistytrader]

[Meanwhile, in walking back with Gold land...]

You want to go do something already? [Well, that's kind of standard for Gold, isn't it?]

action

[mischiefbreeder]

Of course! It's been all work for the past few days! I need some fun in my system now!

action

[feistytrader]

[You know what's better than fun, Gold?

Sleep. Or food. Or even just resting.]

If you say so.

action

[mischiefbreeder]

[Well, he can't sleep until after he eats, and food won't be ready for a while! He needs to do something in the meantime, because he's not content just doing nothing.]

You can do what you want.

action

[feistytrader]

[...Well, what does he want to do?

...

...

...]

Okay. [In that case, he'll stick with Gold.]

action

[mischiefbreeder]

...That said, if you've got ideas of what you wanna do, I'm all ears.

[Really. he won't complain about spending quality not-mission time with his bro.]

[ Voice ]

[generalflirt]

You, me, some others. Apples to Apples.

[ He found it in the Rec Center a while ago it looks cool ]

[ Voice ]

[mischiefbreeder]

...What to what?

[ Voice ]

[generalflirt]

Apples to Apples.

It's a game. That you play with a group!

[ Voice ]

[mischiefbreeder]

Never heard of it.

[ Voice ]

[generalflirt]

Well bring two poor saps over or more and we'll do it right!

[ Voice ]

[mischiefbreeder]

Alright, alright, fine. But I'm savin' it for after dinner then.

[risingwinds]

A weird feeling? I dunno... Everything's felt more or less the same besides all the New Feathers coming in.

[Unless there's something he's missing... That's entirely possible.]

So, how'd the mission go, anyway?

[mischiefbreeder]

Maybe it's just my imagination, then.

But the mission went fine. Can't complain, at least.

[risingwinds]

Didja see anything cool? I feel like missions are our only real chance to get out and see the world without getting forced into it.

[mischiefbreeder]

[He saw things he'd rather not talk about. The feeling of being consumed by unending loneliness is serious business. Sure, he got over that fear during the mission, but still... not something he'd like to relive.]

Ehh, not really. You seen one enemy sneaking about, you seen 'em all!

[risingwinds]

Aww, it couldn't have been that bad! I mean, you didn't have to worry about a barrier, right? Bet there's tons more space to explore when you're out on the field.

[Okay, so maybe he hasn't been on that many missions. His last real experience with one was during the sub mission way back in the day.]
