  1. [19:35] Zeriel Heifang asks, "...you're still at it?"
  2. [19:35] Kim Yugao says, "No. We're done here."
  3. [19:35] Saomi glanced to Sugarboy.
  4. (Saomi)
  5.  
  6. [19:36] Hayashi Guren whispers something.
  7.  
  8.  
  9. [19:37] Kim Yugao says, "As for the one on the cliff... I know that face."
  10. [19:37] Hayashi Guren says, "I've seen him around many times."
  11. [19:38] Zeriel Heifang asks, "Sugarboy?"
  12. [19:38] Zeriel Heifang asks, "You said return home. Where is that kid from?"
  13. [19:39] Kim frowns when realization strikes in. That's Sugarboy? Almost couldn't recognize him from the distance, and how starkly different he looks.
  14. (Kim Yugao)
  15. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  16.  
  17. [19:40] His gaze would rest on Kim and Hayashi. "More ghosts from my past. Hm." He'd say aloud to himself in the same tone as he spoke to them, not changing the volume.
  18.  
  19. "That is what I was told my name is, Yes. I first thought it was a joke, but you are not the first to recognize me, so I suppose it must be true."
  20. (Sugarboy)
  21. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  22.  
  23. [19:41] Zeriel Heifang whispers something.
  24. [19:41] Saomi says, "Sounds like amnesia."
  25. [19:42] Zeriel Heifang says, "...really, now."
  26. [19:42] Zeriel Heifang asks, "Do we take him back home?"
  27. [19:43] Kim doesn't understand what's going on. Still, he thrusts an arm upward towards Sugarboy, beckoning the man from the distance.
  28.  
  29. "People worry about you. Come back to Huangzhou with us." he says, before Zeriel decides to act like a damn monkey and jump his way there.
  30. (Kim Yugao)
  31. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  32.  
  33. [19:46] Hayashi Guren whispers something.
  34. [19:46] Kim Yugao whispers something.
  35. [19:46] Kim Yugao whispers something.
  36. [19:46] "It's been... a couple years since I last saw you, I think? Thought you simply retired-- but here we are."
  37.  
  38. The words are murmured outwards, and there'd a pause before he'd tilt his head over to the side-- no words escape, then, and only an icy explosion follow underneath his feet before the young magus is launched upwards. It's a mere flash, if anything-- just an icy blitz before his feet would touch the volcanic grounds underneath all the while.
  39.  
  40. Shifting, he'd turn around, glancing in Sugarboy's direction now. Features remain blank, for most parts.
  41.  
  42. "Where have you been, now? Did they assault you-- tried to convert? Should probably head back home with us...""
  43. (Zeriel Heifang)
  44. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  45.  
  46. [19:47] Hayashi Guren whispers something.
  47.  
  48. [19:52] Zeriel only groans a tad, though he shifts his attention in Sugarboy's direction now. Not his job to meddle with whatever went down there.
  49. (Zeriel Heifang)
  50.  
  51. [19:57] Sugarboy would take a step back as Zeriel propelled himself up the cliffside. The pupil-less dull blue hues would dart towards the only path he knew as an exit before returning to the ice magi. He would raise his hands, as a sign of peace.
  52.  
  53. "I have been well. From what I gathered, I was captured by vampires and held prisoner. Something would happen inbetween that would leave me nearly fatally wounded, something traumatic enough that I would lose my memories.. But I would be rescued and saved by Lady Wright.
  54.  
  55. I would then spend my time in dawn, assisting wherever I could. Alchemists are sparse there, so I became quite recognizable, helpful, even. I have taken up teaching.
  56.  
  57. I am actually quite busy, so if you don't mind, there are people that need me. You can tell anyone who worries for me that I am fine." He would say, slowly stepping away from the edge, moving towards the route away.
  58. (Sugarboy)
  59. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  60.  
  61. [19:57] Zeriel Heifang says, "I'm not leaving you with Dawn, Sugarboy. "
  62. [19:58] Zeriel Heifang says, "You're coming with us, back to Huagzhou-- back to home."
  63. [19:58] Zeriel Heifang says, "We'll get you treated, and we'll work on recovering your memories."
  64. [20:01] "Your concern is appreciated, but unnecessary. I have recovered some fragments... And they are leading me to someone. But I do not believe it leads me to Huanzhao." He would pause, wanting to offer atleast something to the boy who seemed to care for him.
  65. "I will be sure to return when I can." That said the boy would vaporize into a cloud of scalding steam, and flee.
  66. (Sugarboy)
  67. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  68.  
  69. [20:01] The boy vaporizes into a cloud of scalding steam that runs for the ice lands.
  70. (Sugarboy)
  71. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  72.  
  73. [20:04] "We're so close to their settlement-- I can't waste much time here. People have seen us, and there are probably reports. Scouts will be soon sent after... the longer I stay, the more risk I put myself, and my friends in."
  74.  
  75. There's a pause, and he'd tilt his head over to the side now.
  76.  
  77. "People worry about you. Your family worries about you-- everyone does. You used to be so cheerful and optimistic... and now, you meddle with mongrels of Azrael? In a faction with the taint of undeath? Come, we'll take you home, and we'll fix whatever they did to you."
  78.  
  79. Were the only words that escape him before the ice magus slowly, slowly closes those eys. A single hand reaches out, grasping along his own staff all the while, and there's just a moment of pause before the eyelids drift open yet once again.
  80.  
  81. Surely enough, there's a bright shine-- just the softest, icy hue embracing along his eyes all the while. Visual casting-- and it's evident by the way icy winds would soon shroud along his own form.
  82.  
  83. "I can't waste much time trying to convince you, and put everyone at risk though. If you refuse to come, I'll simply have to use force in the moment. Please, listen."
  84.  
  85. A brief glance is spared in the direction of crowd back there.
  86.  
  87. "You guys-- head back, I'll be there shortly."
  88. (Zeriel Heifang)
  89. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  90. [20:09] He'd only attempt to make the air a tad bit heavier, aiming to prevent Sugarboy from vaporizing and fleeing all the while.
  91. (Zeriel Heifang)
  92. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  93.  
  94.  
  95. [20:14] Sugarboy could feel gravity intensify around him, the cloud moving only as fast as a walking past. Sugarboy could no longer maintain it by the time the ice magi caught up. He would reach for the staff on his back and point it at Zeriel. He held it firm, his hand would be still, as if he were a statue.
  96.  
  97. "I do not wish to fight you, but I am not going to return to Huangzhao."
  98. (Sugarboy)
  99. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  100.  
  101. [20:15] "I do not wish to fight you, but I am not letting you stay with those who worship Azrael-- live within undeath, anymore."
  102.  
  103. The grip around his own staff tightens, and he'd only aim it in Sugarboy's direction. Head does tilt over to the side, and only then would Zeriel assume a proper stance.
  104.  
  105. "I'll fix you-- even if I have to use force in the moment, I promise, it'll get better once we're back home."
  106.  
  107. No other words escape, and he'd prepare to battle unless Sugarboy agrees to accompany him.
  108. (Zeriel Heifang)
  109. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  110.  
  111. [20:23] Sugarboy would grit his teeth with a scowl, something the boy had said clearly touched a nerve.
  112.  
  113. "Fix me? The last 'friend' who tried to 'fix me' nearly burned me alive, and tried to corrupt my mind with their occultic flame!" his montotone voice would be accented with anger. His steely blue eyes would dull further with the escalation, into a gray.
  114.  
  115. "I can tell you their name. You might even know them, if you don't, you can surely ask Angelo- or Eagleheart. The mad man who assaulted me while I was defensless was Epsilon, the blind fire magi." His voice now sounded hollow, and he would squat into a battle ready stance.
  116. (Sugarboy)
  117. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  118.  
  119. [20:24] Zeriel Heifang says, "I'm not your last friend-- and I'm not Angelo, either."
  120. [20:24] Zeriel Heifang says, "But I won't waste words, for now."
  121. [20:32] Started out as overwhelmingly one-sided, to say the least-- though Sugarboy did manage to somewhat adjust by the end there. Not that it mattered, regardless-- the one to win was more than apparent since the start of it.
  122.  
  123. Eyes continue to glow just the softest of blues as Zeriel would practically zip across the volcanic lands underneath-- a snowy, icy blue trail of sharp wind is left in his wake, and a blows would shower Sugarboy from all the directions. Countless tornadoes of impactful winds, and typhoons of arcane waters embrace along, closing onto the older man's form-- from all the sides, limiting his movements, slamming into him.
  124.  
  125. That, combined with the utter cold that'd run through his body, and the icicles that exploded from grounds underneath? Escape was impossible.
  126.  
  127. There'd be another flash of white, and he'd merely blitz behind Sugarboy's form all the while-- a single hand reaches out, palm planting itself against the blonde's back, before a gigantic wave of colder, pristine water explodes outwards, practically blasting Sugarboy a couple meters off in the moment.
  128.  
  129. Leaving him somewhat unconscious-- or unable to move, at the very least.
  130.  
  131. Not saying anything else in particular, he'd only waddle over to the fallen one, reaching out to idly hoist him over his own shoulders all the while. A brief glance is spared in Saomi's direction once she finally approaches, though.
  132.  
  133. "I told you guys to leave without me... anyhow, I got him-- he's more or less uninjured, too. Let's head back."
  134. (Zeriel Heifang)
  135. [20:35] He had just recently been refinding his power, and while it was powerful for an amateur, his reaction times were too slow as he was blasted with ice and water. His muscle would sinch and he'd be unable to move, however, he would still be fully conscious. Grey eyes scanning each face he saw as he was carried around.
  136. (Sugarboy)
  137. [20:38] Dirk exclaims, "Sugarboy!"
  138. [20:38] Bai Long says, "That's Sug."
  139. [20:38] Vee whispers something.
  140. [20:38] Dirk says, "Sugar..."
  141. [20:38] Zeriel Heifang says, "Okay, so. "
  142. [20:38] Hatsu Wvelven whispers something.
  143. [20:38] Zeriel Heifang asks, "Who knows him the best here?"
  144. [20:38] Dirk asks, "What are you doing back here?"
  145. [20:38] Bai Long says, "He gave us materials to start me off on my Alchemy."
  146. [20:38] Zeriel shifts a tad. Sugarboy is practically unconscious, flinged upon Zeriel's shoulder much like a sack of potatoes.
  147. (Zeriel Heifang)
  148. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  149.  
  150. [20:38] Dirk asks, "Is he a Prisoner, Zeriel?"
  151. [20:38] Hayashi Guren says, "I don't know him at all, I've just seen him around a few times."
  152. [20:38] Vee whispers something.
  153. [20:39] Dirk says, "I do."
  154. [20:39] Hatsu Wvelven whispers something.
  155. [20:39] Hatsu Wvelven asks, "Why is he unconscious?"
  156. [20:39] Vee whispers something.
  157. [20:39] Zeriel Heifang asks, "He's not injured-- we ran into him, and turns out he's suffering from... amnesia of sorts?"
  158. [20:40] Vee asks, "- Huh?"
  159. [20:40] Dirk says, "Zeriel... I think I know him best. As an investigator, would you be alright if I helped with this investigation>"
  160. [20:40] Zeriel Heifang says, "He mentioned that he lives in Dawn now. I beat him up a little, and dragged him back here."
  161. [20:40] Zeriel Heifang says, "I... just want to hand him over to someone competent-- who knows him well, too. Someone who can take care of him. "
  162. [20:40] Dirk says, "I'll do it."
  163. [20:40] Zeriel Heifang asks, "Will you, now?"
  164. [20:40] Dirk says, "Let me grab something."
  165. [20:41] Zeriel Heifang says, "Mmh."
  166. [20:41] Kim Yugao says, "He said competent, Dirk."
  167. [20:41] Dirk says, "Be back."
  168. [20:41] Zeriel Heifang says, "Harsh..."
  169. [20:41] Hatsu would also point toward Vee shortly after! "This lady here says that is her friend, and she seems responsible! She could look after him, if need be."
  170. (Hatsu Wvelven)
  171. [20:42] Zeriel Heifang asks, "I've not seen you before-- at least not much. Are you familiar with Sugar?"
  172. [20:42] Hatsu Wvelven says, "The one beside me, with the blue hair.."
  173. [20:42] Vee says, "I - yes. Friends."
  174. [20:42] Dirk says, "Yes, I am."
  175. [20:42] Vee says, "I think friends is safe to say."
  176. [20:42] Zeriel Heifang says, "Can I leave him to you guys? I don't want to put him in prison."
  177. [20:42] Hatsu Wvelven says, "Indeed."
  178. [20:42] Zeriel Heifang says, "He doesn't remember anything from his past, for whatever reasons."
  179. [20:43] Dirk says, "I can explain that."
  180. [20:43] Saomi asks, "Would that be really safe, Zeriel?"
  181. [20:43] Hatsu Wvelven says, "...Huh."
  182. [20:43] Zeriel Heifang says, "Treat him, fix him-- and make sure he doesn't run back to Dawn. "
  183. [20:43] Hatsu Wvelven whispers something.
  184. [20:43] Zeriel Heifang says, "Yeah, don't worry. They put him in restrains-- and he isn't really all that strong."
  185. [20:43] Zeriel Heifang says, "It'll be okay."
  186. [20:43] Dirk says, "That's precisely why I put the collar on."
