[It's been a long time since Serph's disappearance. Maybe it seemed like he wasn't going to be coming back to Vatheon.

But if you happen to be passing through the Plaza, there's someone appearing out of thin air and... falling into one of the fountains with a great splash. If you're curious enough to look at the water, it's gaining a reddish tinge.

...Yeah, that's blood mixing with the water.

But wait long enough, and there's a guy pulling himself out of the fountain, looking like a drowned rat. There's a break in his abdominal armour. But while there are some stubborn bits of blood at the break's edges, there's no wound in the flesh underneath; the skin is unmarked, like it had been healed perfectly.

Serph's back. And he's alive.

...And totally dripping water all over the Plaza again.]

[Zelda being in the plaza is a fairly common occurrence. True, it's quite some time to the next arrival cycle, but she does like to keep the Welcome Center clean. There's also her daily monitoring of the coral. It's during the latter that she sees Serph. So much blood...]

Serph?!

[Of course she's helping to tug him out of the fountain. That's just how she operates, always getting into things.]

[Angelo seems to enjoying getting out these days more and more, since obviously staying inside to sleep was pretty boring. Of course he also happens to be passing by when Serph returns in the middle of the plaza. The templar sees the blood as well and sighs to himself, first Trunks now Serph. What was it with all these people coming back to the bubble with blood dripping from them? Nevertheless, he walks over towards Serph to make sure he's all right.]

[sorcery_fledgling]

[Rinoa missed Serph dearly, but after three weeks, she'd pretty much come to accept he was gone. Likely for good.

So she's not looking or expecting him when she hits the plaza that day. Her original intention was just to do a bit of food shopping. It's a bit cool out, she thinks as she strolls along the plaza.

Oh hey, there's a dripping wet person. Bit early for newcomers, but-

....]

Serph...?

[It couldn't be, could it?]

[not_heavens_adam]

[Johnny was just coming out of a store when he smelled the faint but familiar scent. It was dampened by the water, but it was there. His eyes snapped towards the figure in the plaza and a grin spread across his face.]

Serph!

[He'd begun to doubt. He'd refused to believe that Serph wouldn't be back; his entire family was here, he had to come back! But..Johnny had begun to doubt, now the vampire was just glad he hadn't had any reason to.

A few long strides, and he had his arms wrapped tightly around the shorter man. Good luck prying that off, Serph.]

1/2

[teradine]

[A part of Argilla had already accepted Serph's disappearance, despite how hard it may have been a second time. The past couple weeks or so had started off difficult; especially since she took it upon herself to announce it, when she'd first noticed. Not to mention Gale's sleep, and Heat's reaction not long after afterwards...

Tiir's disappearance.

With the recent masquerade, things had just started getting back to normal again. And now, here she is, innocently walking when she sees his figure crawling out of the fountain.]

[lamorteblanc]

[ You should get that checked, Serph. But luckily, there's a doctor who happens to be crossing the plaza. He rushes over upon seeing that splash though and finds blood seeping into the water. ]

...Serph?

[ His trenchcoat is stripped off and his sleeves rolled up before he attempts to help him up. ]

What happened?

[closedcircuit]

[Ky pauses on the edge of the plaza, long enough to see that Serph is moving before he starts running over, sword banging into his leg.

He goes down to one knee near the edge of the fountain for the leverage, to help Serph out.]

Serph! Are you alright?

[Does he need to get someone else to help?]

[donotcomprehend]

[Giant splashes in the fountain, especially when it's not the time of month when newcomers arrive, are enough to get attention on most days. But the gray in the water and the reddish tinge around it grab Gale's attention even further. He hurries over- and arrives at the fountain just as Serph begins to pull himself out of it.]

Leader. What happened?

[As he asks, he'll be getting an arm around Serph to support him. Can't have him keeling over in the middle of the plaza, after all. And he's mostly calm, mostly focused- typical Gale.]

ACTION ( back at the base?? if you think that makes continuity sense! |D )

[enfire]

( he's heard by now. from the others -- about serph's return. like always for heat, he isn't quite sure how to feel -- or how to react in light of it. like most events in his life this feels somehow bittersweet -- )

So. You're back.
