[It's been almost a week since 'Luke' returned from his kidnapping, and over the past few days he's been trying to get used to his new... living arrangements. His mind is still something of a jumble, but despite that he's out and about, really exploring the village instead of wandering aimlessly from the mountains. More than likely, he'll be lurking close to the houses of people he knew, as either Luke or Asch, though he's too antsy to knock or say hello. He's also carting around the Key of Lorelei, the sword Asch had before.

As he walks, he'll be randomly jotting down a seemingly randomized set of numbers. Though some might find it familiar:]

3.14159265358979322946...

[...Yeah, he's definitely still a bit scatterbrained. Bother hiiiiim.]

[Asch and Luke have been sparring like mad in the forest area by House 5, kicking up snow, working out some aggression and getting through that whole rivalry issue for a good half hour or so. Those nearby have probably noticed the noise, but they were in the process of winding down and were about to head in and warm up.

Unfortunately the Malnosso have other ideas, so before they have a chance, there's a noisy scuffle and, between the two of them, at least one destroyed kidnapper bot. There's a lot of shouting and some fonic arte explosions, but in the end, both Asch and Luke are gone, their journals and swords left behind in the snow. Asch's journal picked up the last of the fight, with muffled voices and partial images only.

ooc: plot time! They'll be back in a few days with some complications, so keep an eye out. |D]

[There's two voices- one is obviously Asch, and the other is too muffled to hear.]

-ing out to investigate. I told Natalia to stay inside; you should do the same.

[A pause.]

...I am not sick. I already rested enough.

[Pause.]

I'm not a kid, so stop acting like my mother.

[...]

Wh- you are not "as good as she is", shut up!

[Pause.]

Goddammit, Guy.

Attitude annoyed

[Early in the morning, Asch is by the section of trees close to the river outside House 5, standing in the snow in just his uniform, holding the Key of Lorelei. He seems fixated on whatever it is he's doing, namely holding the Key tip-down into the snow, both hands on the end of the hilt, eyes closed as he focuses. Every few moments you might catch a slight glow around him, little more than a flicker before it fades.

Talk, harass, troll, lurk? He's open for bothering, though he won't like it. |D]

Attitude busy

The drink's called "Going Merry".

And since Guy is back at Good Spirits, I'll leave the mixing - and the prize - up to him.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Attitude mwaha.

[There's a bit of a radio silence before he starts up, somewhat hesitant but trying to emulate a certain someone's social confidence.]

This can't be that hard, he does it every time.

To all the New Feathers- I'm Asch, and right now I'm helping to run the bar, Good Spirits. The usual bartender is out of commission for a while, but if there's anything you need, I'll do what I can. If there's anyone with... special needs as far as drinks go, chances are it's probably here. Meryl works here too, and she's been in Luceti longer than I have, so you can ask her questions as well.

...And to everyone else as well, I've decided that the bar's going to run a contest. A while ago I mixed a drink at random, but I haven't named it yet. I'm not very good at that sort of thing, so I need someone to name it for me. Come to Good Spirits any time this week and I'll mix it for you, and if you think of a name for it, you can try for the contest. I don't know what the prize will be, but I can figure that out later. [He's clearly awesome at running contests.] The drink is alcohol, though, so I don't want any kids showing up.

[Once again, Asch is at the bar, taking care of business. Look, he's even dressed as a bartender, d'awww. Feel free to drop in or just harass him via the journal.]

Attitude okay

I-

....

...Stupid.

Good Spirits is now open.

[Guess who's trying to get active while Guy's kidnapped? Sitting around, bitching at people, and breaking things won't solve anything, so for once Asch is being an adult about it. He has no idea what Meryl's bar schedule is, so with Guy gone he's claiming the bartender job. ...Hopefully this will not end badly. He'll be there every day from now until Guy returns, so feel free to challenge his novice mixing skills.

Come bother the awkward redhead?]

Attitude worried

[Asch's turn! He's waking up from a nice nap in a very unfamiliar bed, feeling a little groggy and weird, but otherwise not particularly different. What he does notice first, however, is the fact that his head feels a bit... lighter.

Something's not right.]

....

Wh...

....

Son of a- Who the hell cut my hair!?

[So someone's apparently missed the memo about what's going on.]

Attitude pissed off

[If you should happen to pass by the north bridge closest to the plaza, you might notice a redhead sitting by the riverside, legs folded, with the Key of Lorelei propped up against his shoulder instead of his usual sword. He doesn't look particularly angry or angsty or brooding, just... lost in thought. He's had a lot to consider with Natalia's kidnapping and Luke's lost memories. Among other things.

At some point or other, though, he does make a comment for the journal:]

Is it ever... too late to regret something? Or to apologize?

How do you make up for something that can't be taken back...?

Attitude uncomfortable

[Asch is in the wooded area in front of house 5, close to the crossroads but facing away, working through his techniques and practicing his fonic artes. He's been pretty irate since his conversation with Natalia, and after Jacob's sacrifice and his discussion with Guy, he's more focused than before, but he's still not in the best of moods.

His journal is open on a rock nearby in case something else happens or he's needed for something; feel free to a) see him, b) hear him shouting out random attacks, c) troll, or d) ignore entirely. |Db]

Attitude angry

[After this, because it's too good an opportunity to pass up.]

Natalia, I need to talk to you!

Attitude busy

Guy? I think we should talk.

Attitude worried

I can't believe I'm doing this.

I'm Asch.

[.....Does he have to explain more?]

...Guy mentioned me the other day.

[More?]

...Don't feel obligated to talk to me just because he asked.

[Maybe that was too much.]

....I'll try to be friendly if you do, though.

[Wait that came out wrong.]

....Right.

[That should do it.]

Attitude wary

[There's a little boy poking at the journal and flipping through it. He's rather curious and clueless about it, trying to figure out exactly what he should be doing with it. After a moment, he picks up the pen and starts scrawling lines over it, like he's trying to write but can't quite form the words.]

....?

[ooc: Asch doesn't hate the Luke currently in Luceti anymore; he does, however, hate replicas and the fact that his own replica stole his life. Thus: he's currently baby!replica!Luke, with the memories of being Asch but no real recollection of how to use those memories. Come try to talk to the baby?]

Attitude curious

Guy, I know you don't think it's a good idea to go into the tunnels, but I want to help. They need healers and soldiers, and we both meet the requirements. I think it would be safer for Florian to be with the others, anyway.

Luke, Tear, your thoughts? I'm heading out either way.

[And true to his word, Asch is packing up some stuff for a roadtrip to tunnel-land. Who's coming?]

Attitude anxious

Guy, Luke, Tear:

What happened about Anise and Florian staying with us? Did they decide to come, or what? ...Not that I actually care, I just want to be prepared.

...Where the hell did the Key go? None of you took it, right?

[brb hunting for ancient relic D8]

Attitude irritated

Stella, Senel, I'm heading out. Thanks for letting me stay with you. ...I left food. Check the stove before it burns.

Rika... thanks for the riceballs.

[Private to Guy]

.......Is it alright if I come back?

Attitude lonely

[Locked only to people Asch knows and has spoken to]

Can I... stay with someone somewhere? Just for a little while? I can't go home.

Attitude worried

Tear, I need to talk to you.

[For the sake of extra interaction just in case, Asch is at home, feel free to bother.]

Attitude busy

[Open post!

Asch is wandering around the village a bit, looking for a good spot to practice some artes without killing anyone, maybe get some thinking done somewhere other than at home. He's not in any particular mood, good or bad, so if you're lucky you'll catch his good side. His journal is open since he's checking a folded map he's got attached to it, so if you're lucky, you might hear him muttering a bit.]

...so the lake's... further west from here. Damned trees turned me around...

Attitude blah
