Who: Hubert & Asbel Lhant (to be joined by Piers some time later).
Where: Isla Empieza: Town Square.
When: Starting off October 12, super-late afternoon, to be timeskipped to tomorrow or Monday.
What: A sudden reunion of two brothers in a ~~galaxy~~ town far, far away.
Warnings: None.
Style: Lhant-style.
Status: CLOSED.

[The words jolt Hubert out of a slumber he didn't even know he'd fallen into.

Heart racing, he snaps back to consciousness and glances around.

This...isn't Lhant. Actually, this isn't even Windor, right?

Well, wherever it is, it doesn't look safe at all. He needs to go find his father and Prince Richard, but...everyone looks scary, like they'll yell at him if he tries to ask them for help. Or worse.

Clutching Asbel's good luck charm in his hand, Hubert gulps and timidly shuffles off to explore the town...]

[Oh my god, Asbel, the stuff on the boat was exactly what Hubert wanted to know about, sigh. But oh well.

Hubert nods.]

Yeah, but I don't even remember falling asleep...

[He glances around.]

Do you think this has to do with what happened to Richard? With Bryce and all?

[Seems to be the obvious conclusion to draw.]

[He'll tell you all about it later, Hubert. Geez!]

Hmmmmm... [Tap-tap-tap goes Asbel's foot along with a hum of frustration. He's not the greatest thinker here, so his brain's overheating.] I dunno! There'd have to be a ton of people involved to attack both groups at once, right? This is getting really weird... But we need to find Sophie and Richard - pronto!

[Except he has no clue where to look for them.]

Say, do you remember hearing any words in your head while you were passed out? Like really bad poetry or something? [Actually, all poetry's bad but whatever.]

[excuse you, Asbel, poetry is great ~~but it's true, comic books are better~~]

Huh? O-oh. Yeah...I did. It sounded pretty scary, didn't it?

[Though it's weird that they both heard it.]

[~~Comics are okay. They have pictures.~~]

No, not scary. More like just plain confusing. Was what you heard about a ruby, and wishes, and some guy named Davy Jones?

[Nodnod.]

Do you think that was the voice of whoever kidnapped us?

[Why even bother asking this idiot, Hubert. He doesn't know anything.]

Dunno. Maybe! But whoever it was, we need to figure out what's going on here. And we should probably stick together, too.

[Rude, it was just a rhetorical question!!! Or something.]

Y-yeah. [Hubert huddles a little closer to Asbel, the good luck charm still in his hand. Which Asbel may or may not notice.]

Right then, okay. [Asbel's a little too caught up in all the "weird" and the disappearances of his fellow pact makers (...and Dad...) to pay much attention to something like that. He clenches a fist and pumps it into the air with more confidence than he feels.]

Follow me, Hubert! We'll have this mystery figured out and our friends back in no time!

[And there he goes. Marching off in a direction. Probably towards the seedier part of town because he just came from the other way.]

W-wait, Asbel! You shouldn't go over there! It's full of bad people...

[Hubert made the mistake of heading down that road and asking a lady from there for help. She told him to scram if he didn't want to meet the business end of her dagger. :( ]

[Asbel slows a little but doesn't stop altogether.] All the more reason we should go that way! Maybe one of them knows what happened to Sophie and Richard.

[Uh oh.]

[THIS IS SUCH A NO GOOD VERY BAD IDEA to the point that Hubert actually grabs Asbel's hand.]

I really don't think that's a good idea! They're...they're going to kill us if we talk to them!

[Or worse!]

[This right here is unusual. Asbel's jerked back a little, wobbling on feet which were in the middle of heading off to save their friends!]

...Are you sure about that, Hubert? We're just gonna ask them. I've never heard of someone getting that mad over being talked to before.

[But he does get the feeling that maybe this is one of his less good ideas. Dragging Hubert after him would be kinda tough, too.]

One lady p-pulled out a knife when I asked for directions!

[I mean, who does that, seriously? Hubert will follow his brother into damn near anything, but that doesn't mean he won't question Asbel's wisdom (or lack thereof) before doing so.]

What?! Seriously?

[Who even does that! WHO EVEN DOES THAT!]

[He'd kind of like to give this lady a piece of his mind for messing with his little brother, but on the other hand maybe they should avoid ladies with knives altogether. ~~Ladies with knives are always bad news.~~]

[Hubert nods, and tugs at Asbel's arm again.]

Come on. Let's go somewhere else...

[Asbel looks again from Hubert to the path into questionable territory, then back to his brother again. With a sigh he raises his free hand in a sign of defeat.]

All right...fine. We won't go that way.

So, where to? There isn't anything very interesting back there either. [He gestures behind him.]

Well...I think I saw an inn somewhere around here. Maybe Dad and Richard and Sophie are there already too.

[They can't very well stay out in the open air, after all.]

[He's not so sure about that, but it's as good a place as any to check out. Maybe the people at the inn will be a little more hospitable, too. Maybe they don't pull out weapons on their guests.]

Okay. To the inn it is, then!
