Star 010

[Isaac looks much cleaner and healthier than he did last time he appeared. He's changed outfits for the time being and is without most of his normal equipment (except the scarf. He still has that :/)

He's pacing and chewing on his lip. In his hands is what looks like a very old, sacred staff. He looks troubled, but true to his nature, is keeping silent.]

You're walking like you've got a weight on you.

[usagipino]

[Pino starts pacing alongside him, chewing her lip as well and pretending her melodica the same way that he is carrying the staff.]

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

I guess I kinda do now.

[Stops after a moment and turns to blinkystare at Pino]

[usagipino]

[She turns toward him and blinkystares as well. Her pink ears twitch.]

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

Yeah? So what's up?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

[WELL THIS IS AWKWARD] Uhm...Hi?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

All right, Isaac?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Lady Layana just....told us a lot. And Lord Hammet's been captured, so we have to find a way to rescue him...

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Hm? Oh, yeah. Just a lot of stuff to take in.

[usagipino]

What's that? [She points at the staff.]

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

Layana, Hammet...who are they?

[herosmedal.livejournal.com]

Isaac? What troubles you?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Ivan's adopted parents. They rule Kalay, but Hammet was kidnapped.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Oh. The Shaman's Rod.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Oh it's just....A lot of information.

[herosmedal.livejournal.com]

Not all of it was good to hear, was it?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[This is how she says 'What sort of stuff' with her face.]

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

And let me guess, kidnapped by another nation?

[usagipino]

Is it special?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

No. But not all of it was bad, either.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Another city, but close enough.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Yup.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Prophecies and stuff. And Ivan's adoptive father's been kidnapped.

[usagipino]

Special Shaman Rod! What does it do?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

I don't know yet.

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

Great. 'S like the Earth Kingdom all over again. So what's the problem, then? You're gonna get him back, right?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Of course. It's just a matter of how at this point. It's a city of thieves.

[usagipino]

Oh! [It's said as if she has just made an incredible realization.]

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

[She stares at him a moment, then grins slowly.] Suh-weet.

[herosmedal.livejournal.com]

So long as you have a clear solution in mind, the way shall be open.

[oncemarauder.livejournal.com]

[as does Remus, though there are faint shadows beneath his eyes; his smile is sincere, though] Thinking on something?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

That's the thing. There is no clear solution.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

I guess so. Feeling better?

[herosmedal.livejournal.com]

... There is always a solution, Isaac. You must believe in it, or else it will never appear.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Giving up isn't an option, but this isn't something it's safe to rush into, that's all.

[herosmedal.livejournal.com]

Then take your time.

[oncemarauder.livejournal.com]

Much. You?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Not in a desert, at least.
