( open )

Date & Time: Backdated to the week before the Uruguay mission, during timeswap.
Location: It's a whenever and wherever you want deal again!
Characters: Jacquese Foran & YOU
Summary: Jacquese is turned into his little acolyte self and is wandering around lost, come say hi.
Warnings: angry uncooperative mute child alert

[ In the compound and even outside of it, a young boy can be found walking around. A boy that might seem familiar to some. Jacquese, even without his horns and his monk robes, can still be quite recognizable. His hair is much shorter, but still long enough to be in a ponytail and the scar across his nose is still there too. The most notable differences were of course that he was much smaller and younger, looking to be about 15 years old, and the permanent scowl he was wearing on his face.

Waking up in a strange place and then being surrounded by people he'd never seen before with no familiar face in sight had been very disconcerting and it hadn't taken Jacquese long at all to decide he wanted out. He'd much rather be in the dreary Prontera Church than here, wherever 'here' was. With that in mind he'd set out to find a way out and regardless of what people told him, he kept looking. People, especially adults, couldn't be trusted after all. Father Remiel had said he'd always be there for him and where was he now? Not where Jacquese needed him, obviously.

So he sulkily keeps wandering around, getting lost and frankly not giving a shit about it. He has a mace if he gets anywhere where he needs to defend himself so he's sure he'll be just fine. ]

Looking for anything in particular?

( Collette brings herself to a stop in her wheelchair after having watched one of the people who stood out just enough in the crowds to mark him as other for a while. He looks familiar, but she's not sure she can pin it down right now -- she offers the other teen a friendly smile along with her genuine curiosity.

She glances at the mace he carries, then back to his face. Interesting choice in security blanket. Most people went with guns from the appropriate century, marking him as one of those from either a less fortunate one, or one further in the past.

Though she really shouldn't assume! )
whatsupcroc: (☇ curious: tell me all your stories)

[personal profile] whatsupcroc 2013-02-08 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
( More and more familiar, though the glares aren't. Collette quirks up an eyebrow, looking to his hand and back to his face. )

If you insist!

( She says at last, lips twitching into an amused smile as she gives him her hand. What, is he going to pull her along? No way is this guy going to do the knightly thing. )

There's something to be said about showing over telling.
whatsupcroc: (☇ ask: what you're not telling me)

[personal profile] whatsupcroc 2013-02-09 07:58 am (UTC)(link)
( Yep. Writing things out? She concentrates, watching his hand write out the letters and feeling them at the same time. She's not done anything like this for years. )

Out? That was out, I think. But out of the Hold, or out of the island? One I can help you with.
whatsupcroc: (☇ ask: for an explanation)

[personal profile] whatsupcroc 2013-02-09 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
( Biting down on her lip to better concentrate, Collette ends up sighing in her own frustration. Her fingers twitch as he draws on her palm, ticklish and responding to the touch. This was stupidly distracting. )

That was either HOME or HONE, and this is starting to tickle! Okay, one moment, let me get something you can really write with.

( It's just her tablet, but she waits for him to relinquish her hand before twisting around to unzip her satchel and rummage through it. )

The way we get home is kind of unpredictable. We don't have direct control over it, but it happens for most people in a matter of days, or weeks, or months.

( So far it's not been able to be years. She tugs her tablet free, pressing the button to load the screen. A few taps brings her into a notepad program, keyboard visible on screen. )

This works like a slate, only you press the letters you want to make them show up right here. Want to try this out?
whatsupcroc: (☇ curious: just popped on it what's up?)

[personal profile] whatsupcroc 2013-02-11 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
( The letter itself manifests on the screen, showing in the upper left corner as a lone black mark, waiting for any others. )

The big long button with nothing on it works as a spacer.

( Collette says, holding two fingers up to indicate the rough size of the space bar. )

It lets you put the spaces between words like when we normally write.
whatsupcroc: (☇ consider: what I've seen)

[personal profile] whatsupcroc 2013-02-12 02:41 pm (UTC)(link)
( Waiting to see what he writes, at first she doesn't understand. Was he asking after his father? No one she knew used that sort of language, except when talking about... what, a religious father?

She shakes her head. )


I haven't heard of a Father Remiel. Is he part of a church? We can search the tags for him, see if he's listed on network. Is there anyone else you want to look for at the same time?
whatsupcroc: (☇ subdued: so much for that idea)

[personal profile] whatsupcroc 2013-02-14 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
Prontera? Um... okay! We can ask around. But...

( She does look apologetic. )

What happens if we can't find it?
whatsupcroc: (☇ consider: my thinker impression)

[personal profile] whatsupcroc 2013-02-15 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
( SHe can nod for this, holding her hands out for the tablet. )

Right, sorry, I should have guessed! Let me look and see if I can find his name for you.

( There's always that chance. If she gets the tablet in return, she'll flick her fingers over the surface, bringing up the simple search interface.

It's not going to bring him news he'll like, so she searches the archives as well. )


I'm not seeing his name listed here.
whatsupcroc: (☇ ask: is that all there is to it?)

[personal profile] whatsupcroc 2013-02-16 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
It has a list of all of us. I can find your name here, if you tell me it. And I guarantee it'll be here.

( Collette bites down on her lower lip. How to convey this properly? )

Did you hear how we're brought here? ( Waiting for a nod or shake, confirmation or denial. )
whatsupcroc: (☇ consider: not sure that makes sense)

[personal profile] whatsupcroc 2013-02-18 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
( She hands her tablet back to him, wondering if he'd have anything in particular to ask. While he has her tablet, she gives him the short run-through on what mechanism brought them to Exsilium. )

We were all transported here from different places. We're not even on any of the same worlds that we used to be.
whatsupcroc: (☇ consider: potential actions)

[personal profile] whatsupcroc 2013-02-19 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
By transporter pads that reach for people in different dimensions and pull them here. It's some way advanced science! Okay, here, let me look up your name for you, see what we've got. That way I an show you the list of people brought here, too!
whatsupcroc: (☇ ask: what's the plan?)

[personal profile] whatsupcroc 2013-02-19 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
( She repeats the process from earlier, though tilting the tablet his way to make it easier for him to watch what she did. Knowing he was who he was, and knowing he'd been here for several months, when she finds his name she points it out to him. )

See? There's your name. If you wanted to see if you'd written anything on a tablet like this, you could press on your name and it'd show you.
whatsupcroc: (☇ consider: listen to your heart)

[personal profile] whatsupcroc 2013-02-20 02:49 pm (UTC)(link)
( Collette watches him, thinking she's caught the gist of that one word he mouths. )

Not the career path you though you were going to take, huh? You seem pretty happy about it. You know, when you're older. Ugh, look, I'm sorry, this isn't supposed to be the freak-you-out olympics! Some people are more okay learning about their future selves than others.
