A bit like a bad hangover, without the fun beforehand
Who: Ioder, anyone who wants to find a poor, tied up emperor.
Location: Plaza
Time: 12/31
Style: Starting in prose, but I'll match whatever others want
Status: Open
Damn.
It happened again. Some one who didn't agree with the way he was dealing with the empire, some one who wanted to make a "statement" that thought the way it needed to be done was by kidnapping him.
At least this time his advisers had the forethought to give him bodyguards before he left Zaphias. Sadly they were probably dead. Emperor Ioder Heurassein considered himself lucky to have gotten out with little more than a nasty whack to the back of his head.
For a few minutes, he'd woken long enough to see a dark room with little in the way of furnishings, and feel that his hands were bound behind his back with a rough and scratchy rope and he was against a wall, sitting on the floor. There was something sticky on the back of his neck. Likely blood. He could hear hushed voices in the room, but they were muffled, and consciousness didn't last long enough to hear what they were talking about.
And that's when things got weird. He had the oddest sensation of floating in water, or rather floating through water. And when he woke up again he was sopping wet, clothes heavy, head still aching something awful, and rather than being against a wall he was face down with his arms still bound behind him.
It was highly uncomfortable, to say the least.
But as uncomfortable as it was, it was also confusing, because it was a lot brighter than it had been before, and the ground was much smoother and cooler, too. When he opened his eyes (much to the displeasure of his still pounding head) he was greeted to a very different sight indeed. Everything was so... clean. Almost shining. And he could have easily been mistaken but... was that water beyond the rise of the buildings?
"What--..." he tried to speak, but his voice came out a raspy cough. A green light flitted around his head, almost as if it was worried about him, but he really couldn't make heads or tails of what it was or why it was there.
After a pained groan and a bit of struggling, he was able to sit up with his arms trapped behind his back, staring blearily at the area before him.
That certainly didn't help his confusion any. Where on Terca Lumireis was this?
"... I've gotten myself in to a very odd situation, haven't I?"

"... I've gotten myself in to a very odd situation, haven't I?"
Do I get a fred too? c:
This might be the familiar glow of a Healing Circle starting. A bit overkill, but it was the healing spell he was more comfortable using. ]
... It is not anywhere upon Terca Lumireis.
... yes. After I get my brain back.
Well. At least his wrists don't hurt anymore. He can worry about what that all means later.]
Vatheon?
Brains are helpful
[ He's moving away again - out of what would be potential weapon reach, either the reach of his own blade, or any weapon the young lord had. ]
They are. *noms them*
Ioder just head tilts slightly, eyes inspecting the area a bit more.]
Interesting...
:0
The Child of the Full Moon is here as well, young lord. Although no others that I have encountered of Terca Lumireis, this location seems to hold a great deal of others - from both this location and a great many others.
*omnomnom*
The comment gets an odd, confused look that quickly turns in to excitement. He's glad to know he's not here alone, but there's a bit of worry, too. If they're here, who is taking care of the empire in their absence?]
She is? ... I see... I'll have to speak with her as soon as possible then.
[unfortunately there seems to be a small problem - standing is almost instantly met with weak knees and shaking legs, and he winds up back on the ground just as quickly as he tried to stand, letting out a cry of surprise.]
D: don't eat mine!
This may be awkward, but Ioder is now going to experience the detached not-quite-feeling up of someone vaguely trained in medical things checking what his healing spell didn't heal. Studying your eyes now. Can you focus on him?
If anyone asks, it's because Estelle would freak out. ]
Attempting to stand is foolish. I can either aid you to a location [ and he doesn't quite sound thrilled about that ], or contact the young lady.
aww but it would have been delicious!
I... suppose I might need to recover a bit before I go anywhere, won't I?
[and an awkward smile to go with the awkward situation.]
I'm sorry to put you in this position.
D: it might have given you indigestion though
Duke sits back, and after watching Ioder for a moment more, seems to be deciding for contacting Estelle. She's better at this healing stuff than he is. ]
... ah. damn. that's a good point. *gives it back*
[Whatever he decides, it's not like Ioder can really argue.]
/wraps brain back up
Ioder, are you really this short. ]
A bench, this direction.
Re: /wraps brain back up
Thank you...
no subject
... Little trouble. [ He's more or less towing Ioder along if he stumbles, but he is adjusting his longer steps to be ones that Ioder... could keep up with easily. ]

... a moment. [ Don't mind Duke tapping about on something that looks a lot like one of the Superstar monsters.
Young Lady; someone of Terca Lumireis you know is injured at the plaza. My arte of healing has done little to aid.
He debates adding more to this, but he isn't quite sure what. So send and wait. ]
no subject
her eyes widened. someone else from Terca Lumireis was here? someone she knew? Estelle didn't need any more information. she just needed to know where they were.
and so, she typed back, as quickly as she could. ]
Where are you?
no subject
The area with the coral - a bench to one side. Should be visible. [ Given that.. Duke still wore his massive amounts of red and his hair is pretty much a beacon. ]

[ and with that, she makes good on her word and leaves to find the plaza. it won't take her long, and when she does approach the two, she stopped and froze at the sight.
Ioder?
and he was hurt? oh, no ... Estelle rushed over as quickly as she could. ]
Duke! Ioder!
[ she was going to give that cousin of hers a hug, dammit. :| ]
no subject
Okay, so he will say something as he pockets the starfish. ]
... On her way. [ The moment she shows up, duke is going to vanish though. ]
no subject
In the next second he was tackled in a hug, and by the time he looked back... Duke was gone.
But the name had been spoken, and it rang equally familiar in his ears.
So... that was Duke...
Something he could concern himself with later then because holy hell his cousin was there. He hugs her back tightly, so grateful to see a familiar face.]
Estellise... I didn't know you were here...
