14th Confession [Video/Action]

[notabluesbro]

[Nicholas had been working his best at Eferin, and found slow but gratifying progress. He'd just finished up another attempt at learning and was working on going to visit Vash—perhaps get something to eat before that—as the sun began to set and the sky began to darken. But he wouldn't get to either place he was hoping for; Nick was suddenly taken by the arms, and despite his struggles, the last thing he remembers is the face of something inhuman and the sky rolling up into darkness.

...When Wolfwood finally wakes up later, he finds himself laid in the snow, with the usual white pants and lack of shirt. He's not far from the village though, and even in the dark, he can see it through the trees—strong orange glows. He smiles despite himself, sighing. He definitely can recall the experience with the Malnosso, and the later they decide to take him again, the better.]

Ugh, what...

[What time is it, anyway—looks like the sun just barely teetered out...

Oh, what—his journal's open and rolling, so he turns to it, rubbing his head.]

Feels like I've been hit by a truck... but I guess I'm finally back again. What day is it, exactly?

[No, he doesn't remember anything from the past two weeks of being a child. Never fear, though—once someone blabs about it, or he finds that journal entry he'd made while he was small, everything'll start coming back to him, bit by embarrassing/painful bit.

Vash is also somewhere out there, too. Wolfwood'll probably find him soon. Probably in a tree, knowing his luck. -_-

But of course, when he finally gets dressed up in his usual attire, he'll be on the hunt for something good to eat. It feels like he hasn't had a meal all day, man.]

[Jack blinked at this question, rather confused. The cold and snow was not usually a problem as long as one was prepared. That and this was far from the worse snow he had to travel through. But then again, those from a desert world would probably not see a lot of it.] I was merely out for a quiet walk through the forest. I much enjoy the snow and this sort of season. I take it you do not have a lot of snow where you come from?

[A smirk crosses the man's features.]

No snow at all. Nada. Zip. Zero. And whatever else means none.

In fact, there's not even rain, back home.

[wanderer-jack.livejournal.com]

Yes, I remember Frank mentioning something akin to that. A desert world, where natural sources of water are few and entire towns are built around them. [Though the cold did not nip too badly now that he was sans coat, Jack rearranged his scarf so that more of his neck and face would be covered.]

[notabluesbro]

[He nods.]

That's right—that's our world, right there. Sounds like a real gem, doesn't it?

[wanderer-jack.livejournal.com]

Even a desert must have an oasis. Same is true even in my world...or at least the world Aku created.

[notabluesbro]

Ha, well, we've got water under the ground. I guess if we can find it, we might just be able to make a little oasis to relax in. If much will grow in that crappy soil.
