Star 31

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

[Isaac has the look of one who is truly, thoroughly, exhausted, but is also entirely unwilling to accept the fact that he's about to fall over because of it. In his hand is a battered old string of beads which he's fiddling with absently.]

I can't believe it...He was alright this whole time.

[A smile finds it's way onto Isaac's face. Despite how bone-tired he seems, he does look like he's been doing a lot of smiling the last little while.]







[Isaac is now POST FINAL BOSS! YAAAY!]

[Sebastian, who has in his horrifically deprived life never known the joy of beating a final boss, hobbles along on his cane, as he has graduated from the wheelchair.] Did you find someone you've lost?

[Being Sebastian, he assumes that Isaac has found a lost stuffed animal.]

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Yeah. My Dad!

[fruitbrandy.livejournal.com]

[with some surprise] What an important thing to misplace! I hope he's well.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Y-yeah. He is. It was touch-and go for awhile but...

[Blinking back a few tears] My Dad's alive. And he's just fine.

[fruitbrandy.livejournal.com]

Aloysius and I are very happy for you. Are you going home now?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Not right away, but soon. Dad and Jenna's parents still need to get some strength back.

[fruitbrandy.livejournal.com]

Oh, my, was someone kidnapping parents?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Kind of. Saturos and Menardi found Felix, his parents and my Dad all half-drowned and brought them all back to Prox.

[fruitbrandy.livejournal.com]

[Sebastian finds these names very odd.]

What odd names. [And apparently he doesn't have the brain-to-mouth filter to stop him saying as much.] What about Jenna's parents?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

I guess they're pretty normal in Prox.

They're alright too.

[fruitbrandy.livejournal.com]

Were they brought to Prox?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Jenna's folks? Yeah. Them too. That's how Saturos and Menardi got Felix to work for them.

[fruitbrandy.livejournal.com]

Are they villains? Saturos and Menardi, not Felix. I don't think anyone named Felix could be a villain. Felix must be the name of a friend.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

They....We thought they were. They hurt a lot of people, but they were trying to save their home. They kinda forced Felix into helping them.

[fruitbrandy.livejournal.com]

[He seems to be seriously thinking about this, or at least as much as Sebastian is willing to think seriously of anything.] How is their home now?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Cold, still, but it'll recover.

[fruitbrandy.livejournal.com]

Then that's all right. I hate unhappy endings. [Sebastian makes as if to grab Isaac's hands, and then he realizes this is a bad idea with his cane and all. This doesn't curb his enthusiasm] You'll be having a party to celebrate, of course.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Ah, yeah maybe when everyone's recovered a bit.

[fruitbrandy.livejournal.com]

I shall help you pick out the drinks. I'm very good at that, and Charles and I have been treating ourselves to the family store, so I'm learning a great deal more about them daily.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

I'll leave it to you, then.

[fruitbrandy.livejournal.com]

Good. You'll have to do the food, though. I can't at all cook.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

I can cook just well enough to not die of starvation. I'll have to get Mia to do the cooking.

[fruitbrandy.livejournal.com]

Have you mentioned her before? She doesn't sound like a pastry chef.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Well, she's the best cook we have, really. Piers isn't bad, either...

...I wonder if it's a Mercury thing.

[fruitbrandy.livejournal.com]

Good cooking or bad cooking?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Oh, Good cooking!

[fruitbrandy.livejournal.com]

Hm . . . perhaps it is because Mercury is very wet, and dry food tends to be very bad. I hate crumpets when they're dry. I suppose it's all right if something is toasted.
