I wonder, has anyone bothered just knocking to see if they're still alive?

[and he's going to start walking up the steps to that Chamber lol]

1/2

[enigmaster]

"No one's allowed in there and we can't break a summoner's concentration. Just, come on--"

[She's getting up, moving to go grab his arm, but she stops and freezes as the door starts rumbling... and opens.]

2/2

[enigmaster]

[And out steps a boy, about Oswald's age, with brown hair that has just a bit of red in there, maybe. Spectacles on his face. Clothes... like a loose, light robe, pale green with more vivid greens as accents. He's stumbling, though, and won't make it more than a step or two before going down.]

[agoodname]

[and Oswald's moving on automatic, pushing out of Ivy's grasp just as this boy comes stumbling out, quickly pushing up the last couple of steps so he can catch him as he goes down. Not that it helps. He's not exactly built to hold his own weight well most of the time, much less someone else's as well, so they're probably both going down. Though Oswald does manage to keep a grip on the boy and keep him from hitting his head--even though it does his ankle no favors]

[enigmaster]

[They may still go down, but it's at least just down to the floor, rather than tumbling down the stairs. The boy blinks at the catch, carefully raising his head a bit. Bright green eyes looking into Oswald's.] ...Ah... [He's now realizing that this is very much a stranger.]

[agoodname]

[and for a moment, Oswald just kind of stares down at him because wow his eyes are very green and that's, well...really it's rather striking. And then he sucks in a breath and huffs] Well. At least I was right.

[enigmaster]

[He... blinks, again, tilting his head a bit at that.] I-- What? S-Sorry, um, who're... [and he moves to push himself up...] Who're you--? [He's still dizzy, though, so he just quickly goes back down again.]

[agoodname]

[laksdhfs Oswald starts to help him up--but then he just goes back down again into his lap and he'll cause a bit of a wince at that as it jars his ankle] Alright, yes, maybe don't do that just yet. [he huffs] I'm Oswald. And you look like you need a change of clothes and a meal just as much as I do.

[enigmaster]

[Normally, he might be protesting more. Ask this Oswald just who he is, why he's here, insist that he's doing just fine, thank you, but... But, well, you spend over twenty four hours praying and it kind of takes the fight out of you. So he just kind of looks at Oswald and then at everyone else in the room. Feeling as if he's missing something here, for there to be someone else in this room...]

[agoodname]

[well now there's definitely enough time for others to have caught up to them, so they're definitely ushered back out in short order--with Edward given a couple other people to lean on on the way out]

[enigmaster]

[Everything gets a bit busy after that. They're ushered out, Edward doing his best to walk on his own again, as they meet... well... basically the whole rest of the village waiting for them. He's crowded pretty quickly and doesn't get another word out to Oswald before that happens. ...But hey, Oswald can maybe finally get that meal.]

[agoodname]

[well it's about time.

And like the whole rest of the village may be waiting for them but that's like, what, ten people?? Easy enough to avoid so he can focus on getting some food please maybe.]

[enigmaster]

[He'll get his food, no worries. Though through the tent's opening, as he's eating, he may just see, uh... a giant bird appearing in the center of town.

...As you do.]

[agoodname]

[.....okay yeah he'll

come out and take a look at that, abandoning his meal for the moment because wtf is that actually]

[enigmaster]

[Well, that boy from the temple, the summoner? He's currently petting the giant bird creature. And then, a moment later, he twirls his staff around... and the creature vanishes, as if it was never there.]

[agoodname]

[. . . . . . . .] Well that's...unique. [what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck tho]

[enigmaster]

"Thaaaat's a summoner. Pretty wild to actually get to see, huh?"

[It's the red haired girl again, who's just approaching Oswald. Arms crossed as she searches his face a moment.]

"What, you didn't sneak into the temple just so you could get an early peek?"

[agoodname]

...I beg your pardon, that's a what now? [he leans on his cane, frowning, arching an eyebrow] What is a summoner, exactly?

[enigmaster]

[She stares at him, as if he just grew another head.]

"...You're kidding, right?"

[agoodname]

Clearly not. [he sounds annoyed, now]

[enigmaster]

"You know, summoners?" [She says it slowly, as if talking to a particularly stupid child.] "People who summon Aeons so they can go defeat Sin? Those summoners?"

[agoodname]

No, I don't know, thank you very much! [snapped] The only thing I'm aware of is that I wound up here somehow because Sin got to the boat I was on, but aside from that, I know nothing about it.

[enigmaster]

[And at that she blinks... and her face softens a bit, annoyance melting away. She's quiet a moment.]

"Oh. I'm sorry." [She bites her lip, before just carefully patting his arm.] "I guess Sin messed you up a lot... Don't worry, the toxin usually wears off after a little while."

[agoodname]

[hhhhh he just huffs again]

Yes. So I've been told. In the mean time, this remains very strange.

[enigmaster]

"Well... Okay, so, Aeons are these big powerful creatures. Summoners go into temples, pray there, and if they're heard, they can call them forth. Like the big monster you just saw. Ummm... What else..."
