Lunar Pocket Watch

[SOS Mage]

Bronzica let go of Gamefreak as he began to flicker more rapidly, dropping him at the bottom of the stairwell's steps that lead to the next floor down, wincing all the while as she was becoming more cautious from her sudden fright.

"What's wrong with you!?" Bronzica shouted.

[Skillkill]

The charm soon dissipated from the man's shoulder, as Claude began to feel his throat loosen. The body would be fine but he would seem to be comatose. Smiling he looked at Silvetta and sat down.

"See..? I'm fine really."
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Meanwhile Kane would begin to come around in an unfamiliar baby blue room. Besides the bed he was lying in there would be a chair occupied by a Ms.Rachel Redstroke and a man standing next to the bed with a white mask over his face.

"Are you alright?"

Kane would vaguely recognize the voice but no matter how much he tried he couldn't recall the last week or so.

[GF202020]

"...what...what the hell happened...it feels like I had one awful bad acid trip..." Gamefreak said, "...oh...wait...Rachel....no doubt you have...ugh...another scheme to kill me or something..."

[SOS Mage]

The white magicians backed awy as Silvetta approached Claude, kneeling down before him.

"Claude..." Silvetta spoke back. "I request an explanation to your peril. It appeared to be a silence curse,however, you were showing signs of other symptons as well."

[Skillkill]

Claude shrugged, sitting against the wall and looking between the Mistress and her knight.

"It wasn't anything more serious than a sore throat I assure you. But...Mida why did you carry off Kane? Wasn't he going to be part of a plan?"

++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The man laughed and sat on the bed, crossing his legs as Rachel grumbled from across the hall.

"No she hasn't, indeed she was the one who searched all week for the legendary Ambrosia you needed to survive. She broke your spine and nearly killed you but because she applied that wonderful nectar, father time is no longer your adversary when facing off with death."

Sighing Rachel made her way to the door and kicked it open, looking very pissed as she left.

"And suffice to say she lost more than her fair share as well."

"...and who are you?" Gamefreak asked the masked man, "..and where the hell am I?...what...the Velvet Room? What...is Igor gonna appear out of nowhere and give me a persona now?"

[SOS Mage]

(OOC: LOLOLOL, ironically, SkillKill has been doing a lot of character reviews on Persona rip-offs in this forum...)

Mistress Mida faced Claude with a frown.

"Well..." Mistress Mida began to answer. "Mister Kane didn't exactly met my requirements as I miscalculated prior to double checking, so I may have a potential option of new uses for him, whatever ones he is most suitable for."

[Skillkill]

Claude nodded and smiled and stood.

"Understood. Sorry for inconveniencing you then."
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The man sighed and shook his head., opening the door as he did so.

"I know not of what you speak of but you're free to go if you want to. However you may not be at your fullest for the next few days so please go easy on yourself."

[GF202020]

"Hmm...well, let's first see where I am." Gamefreak then walked through the door that Rachel went through.

[SOS Mage]

"Apology accepted," Mistress Mida said to Claude.

Suddenly, the footsteps of dashing could be heard coming.

"Mistress, Mistress!" Bronzica shouted.

"Huh, what is it now!?" Mistress Mida asked.

"G-Gamefreak..." She began answering. "He's flickering and doing freaky stuff!"

"I need to see this..." Mistress Mida said as a smug grew on her face. "I think I may have a potential application for him."

Mistress Mida followed Bronzica to go investigate, leaving Silvetta and Claude behind.

"It appears things have not gone accordingly," Silvetta said to Claude. "I am unsure what to do at the moment except keep an eye on you..."

[Skillkill]

Claude grit his teeth and nodded following after them...

"Let me take a look...somehow I have a feeling I know what's going on."
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

As he entered the hall he would vaguely remember the bar to his left, Rachel pouring herself a shot of vodka at the counter.

[GF202020]

"So...Rachel...why did you break my spine...what the hell happened last week...why can't I seem to remember any of it?" Gamefreak asked her.

[SOS Mage]

"..."

Silvetta, unsure of what to do exactly due to the lack of order, hesitated for a moment.

"Allow me to follow," Silvetta suggested to Claude.

Claude would discover Mistress Mida and Bronzica gathered around Gaemfreak's unconscious body discussung something between each other upon arrival of the location.

[Skillkill]

Claude frowned and looked at him.

"The spell stopped when he passed out so maybe. Clark used a soul trap on him. He'll be out for a very long time and I'm not even sure if he'll die like this..."
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Taking a swig from the bottle, entirely ignoring the shot, Rachel frowned.

"That tournament, I broke your spine while getting you out of my way, and I suggest you leave me alone before I do it again."

[GF202020]

"Hmm.." Gamefreak tried to think long and hard about what just happened to him...and to try and remember about recent events....

"..hmm...Rachel..." Gamefreak continued to try and think hard... "...what...can you tell me...about...your...brother?"

[SOS Mage]

"He'll die?" Mistress Mida asked. "We'll need the white magicians to see if it is possible to heal him in this form."

"Hey, if he dies, can me and sis' eat him?" Bronzica asked Mistress Mida.

"No, don't.... Not yet, at least," Mistress Mida answered before turning to Claude. "Tell me, Mister Redstroke. Who is this 'Clark' I keep hearing from Mister Kane and you? Is he responsible for those curses and the soul manipulation he casted upon Gamefreak? What does he want that somehow has me involved with his plans?"

[Skillkill]

Claude shook his head and grit his teeth.

"I've seen someone like this. He can't die of natural causes in this state. He's just a shell..."

Looking over to Bronzica he frowned before listening to Mida's concern

"He's the only mage who could set up all this with one hex, and he's the only one who could have studied my patterns enough to know what page I would open to in that book."

+++++++++++++++++

Popping the top onto the vodka she laughed.

"I don't remember tellin' ya about any brother. Mind leaving me alone before I give you a chance to meet him?"

[GF202020]

Gamefreak continued to try to think hard...trying to remember the events from his sub-consisonus mind.

"But...I believe...we...met..." Gamefreak struggled to say, continuing to try and piece things together from his latent mind, "...I remember...the burning desire...to ask you...what...did you do with him...that made him say that....you...betrayed him."

[SOS Mage]

"Tha-that... That sounds like a rather skilled magician, I must keep note on that..."

"... If that is the case, what is his purpose involving my estate into his grand plan of his?" Mistress Mida asked Claude. "This sounds awefully suspicious to be anything more simpler than that."

"Awwww, but he looks so meaty," Bronzica said in disappointment, frowning in an unpleased manner.

[Skillkill]

Claude put a hand on his chin

"I'm not entirely sure. It's been nearly a year since I've seen him but if I had to guess it was an elaborate ploy to test a theory. He's settled down with my sister and unless he recently began expanding his business to gain the assets to raise an army, he's simply running a bar and used Rachel's plan as an excuse to test a scientific theory."
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Rachel grinned and reached for a bottle under the counter.

"I asked ya once bucko, I ain't asking again. Let me grieve in peace."

Pulling out a bottle she pulled off the top and looked for the largest glass she could find.
