∞ 88: Three years displaced [written/action]

[written]

Professor Sage is missing -- has been missing since before the Halloween ball. Please keep an eye out for her, and others who went missing during the previous experiment, along with any possible New Feathers who may show up this month.

As a reminder, we have now entered the fourth cycle year as of October 26. Be sure to pick up a new calendar in the welcoming center or library.

Thank you.

[The sun is out, the effects are gone, and people are returning to their normal states. Despite all of that, Albert still finds himself somehow unsteady. Perhaps it has something to do with Rune being unable to find any of his brood. Perhaps it has something to do with the continued lack of presence from Epona's master. Perhaps...

He can be found between his house and community building 7, in the stables and corral he rebuilt with Link. Today he finds himself spending more time with Astrid and Epona, as if that will somehow make up for the fact that they had been left to fend for themselves in the fog. He even has his saddle if he feels like riding. His A tiny owl perches on a nearby fence post, outside for the first time in almost two weeks.

Like so many others, Albert is more than ready to put aside the stress caused by a handful of scientists. So instead, he reminisces over his three years in Luceti.]

You will.

[He nods, and his words are confident, not because he knew, but simply because he hoped his brother wouldn't change anymore than he already had. Could things really change enough that they'd be back at that point, where those words wouldn't matter at all? It wasn't something he'd ever thought about before, not like this.

...but he really hoped it wouldn't happen.]


Are you still busy in here?

Will you be riding?

[It's obvious what he'd like to ask, at least on any other day. But whether or not he will ask today, he hasn't decided yet.]

Voluntarily? [He didn't volunteer then! Not... completely. It was just convenient at the time. Yes.] Uh... I don't know. Would that be okay?

Th-that's not what I... [Misunderstood again? Or was he ignoring the real question?] Would it be okay with you?

[You did try to get him to leave you alone just now.]

[Caesar blinks. He'll never understand you, Albert.

...and then Caesar realizes what he's gotten himself into. He's going to have to go near that horse, isn't he? Ugh.]


Y-yeah. I suppose you might be right. For once.

[...he does seem amused. That jerk is doing this on purpose!]

Based on the number of times I've mounted a horse in the past... what do you think?

[...definitely doing this on purpose. Maybe Caesar did have it coming, but this wasn't... fair.]

Yes, yes, of course. After you.
