Wrong Turn 006 [Video/Action]

[eternallostboy]

[Ryoga finally returned from a mallynap no one knew about. He often gets lost for long periods of time. People might of thought it was just one of those months where he was away from the village for weeks at time. Who knew? Ryoga certainly didn't! In fact, he knew less now than he did before.

The Malnosso were kind enough to drop him off in the village though, so the eternal lost boy shouldn't be so hard to find. For the event he also had a Couple's mask propped upon his head that didn't quite cover the face. Ryoga was completely unaware of its existence.]

Could someone tell me where I am?

[Just your everyday Ryoga question.]

I think I'm lost.

O-oh, it's because of a mask?

...

Mine?

[mistlegacy]

[She nods and points to his mask.]

It's right there. You must have picked it up without knowing, earlier.

[lost-pig-boy.livejournal.com]

What are you talking about?

[mistlegacy]

It's another experiment, you know. These masks, that make us all behave or appear strangely, and then...that moon.

[She looks up and shudders.]

[lost-pig-boy.livejournal.com]

What experiments are you talking about? I don't have a mask!

[mistlegacy]

[....]

It's right there, Ryoga.

[Pointing at it now.]

[lost-pig-boy.livejournal.com]

H-Hey! What the-



It's stuck.

[mistlegacy]

Here, let me try.

[Rydia moves in and reaches up, tugging.]

[lost-pig-boy.livejournal.com]

[mistlegacy]

[...what.]

Um, Ryoga? Are you alright?

[She'll begin to gently push him away.]

[lost-pig-boy.livejournal.com]

I-I don't know!



My apologies. I don't know what came over me!

[mistlegacy]

[She shakes her head.]

It's not your fault. I'll bet it's the mask's, though. They all seem to have some weird effect.

[lost-pig-boy.livejournal.com]

What do you mean? Are these masks cursed?!

[mistlegacy]

It seems that way. Maybe it's not all of them, but a good many cause something weird to happen. I wouldn't trust any, to be honest.

[lost-pig-boy.livejournal.com]

Ha ha. Yeah. I mean, it's not like this is normal or anything.

[lost-pig-boy.livejournal.com]

What's your name?

[mistlegacy]

[She's going to yank her hands back. Nothing against you, Ryoga, but this is weird.]

What--you know what it is! Look, Ryoga, you should go home. Wandering around town is just likely to get you into trouble, right now.

[lost-pig-boy.livejournal.com]

I've never seen you before.

Which way is home?

[mistlegacy]

It's--

[Oh, right. His direction problem issues.]

I'll take you to Ukyo's restaurant. She can help you from there.

[lost-pig-boy.livejournal.com]

Who's Ukyo?

[mistlegacy]

[She gives him a good, hard stare.]

You...really don't know, do you?

[Deep sigh. It's not his fault. It's theirs.]

I'm Rydia and Ukyo is an acquaintance of yours from home...but she hasn't been available in a while, so forget that plan. Look, I'll just take you to the Welcome Center. You can crash there until you find out where you live. We have the space.

[lost-pig-boy.livejournal.com]

I don't live anywhere.

Sorry to have inconvenienced you, Rydia.

[mistlegacy]

[At that, she's quick to shake her head.]

These masks and overall experiment are an inconvenience, not you. It's not your fault you were caught up in all this. I don't blame you, really.

[That doesn't mean she's going to put up with more snuggles, though.]

[lost-pig-boy.livejournal.com]

It's still unnecessary trouble.

[mistlegacy]

If I say it's no trouble, it isn't.

[Besides, helping him might take her mind off what's happening around them...for a few moments, anyway.]

I ought to check in, as it is.
