∞ 45: A nightmare [voice/action]

[chikaidestroyer]

This is...

[There's the sound of a book being dropped, then papers being scattered.]

...I am not amused.

[He curses at something not visible on the journal's little visual screen.]

Get off me, you-- Rune!


[ooc: Since runic legendary creatures (that is, the Rune incarnates) seemed a little ... out of his league, Albert's now a rather infamous ... person from his world.]

[Just in time, Lloyd! Albert was just leaving his house after retrieving his journal.]

[considering most of the affected people turned into giant monsters, Lloyd doesn't really make the connection here.] Uh... hey there. Is Albert home?

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

[Well, miniaturized giant monsters. But Albert glances at Lloyd from under his hat.]

You're speaking to him, Lloyd.

You dyed your hair?

[chikaidestroyer]

...

...

No. And it's not a wig, either.

[kid-in-red.livejournal.com]

...So, uh, it's the experiment? I thought it was turning people into monsters and summon spirits.

[chikaidestroyer]

Perhaps the range of the experiment is a little broader than monsters and summon spirits. It must reach certain types of people as well.

[There's a pause.]

You brought your equipment?

[kid-in-red.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm not affected and the weather's good, so I thought I'd get some more work done.

[it's so weird, talking to a stranger like he's Albert] ...Who exactly did you turn into?

[chikaidestroyer]

I'm sure the horse will appreciate it. The snow has been quite bothersome for her.

[He glances back towards the house as he shuts the door.] Yuber, the Black Knight. Rather infamous in the circles that know of his existence. Have many others that you know been affected?

[kid-in-red.livejournal.com]

What's her name, anyway? When I asked it was just a bunch of... horse noises I can't pronounce.

...Just Emil so far.

[chikaidestroyer]

I haven't been able to find a name she likes. She seems quite picky about it; apparently her name is quite regal ... though unpronounceable to us.

Is he dangerous in that form?

[kid-in-red.livejournal.com]

Huh... I can help you think of things, if you want?

[in a more serious voice] I don't know. From the way he's talking, it sounds like he's been possessed by something. He's from my world, but... the only thing I can think of that could make him act like that is--

[wait.]

[chikaidestroyer]

You do spend quite a bit of time around her, considering you're building her stable. I would appreciate the help.

[Even when Lloyd stops, Albert doesn't speak immediately.] You have an idea what he is, then?

[kid-in-red.livejournal.com]

...Back on our world, we ran into a guy that was possessed by the spirit of an ancient evil king called Nebilim.

[chikaidestroyer]

Would he have become this ancient evil king, then? Instead of acting like him?

[kid-in-red.livejournal.com]

...I don't know, actually. Abyssion had Nebilim in him for a while, but when we brought him all the Devil's Arms, the king's power took him over and then he looked different.
