Day 26 - Accidental [Voice]

[de_bel_survivor]

[When he returned, a certain young demon overlord would seem almost unrecognisable at first. One such indicator was the lack of his trademark headphones. They’re still back in his apartment, previously dropped during that kidnapping last year. He’s also seemingly unaware of his now blue wings, like he used to have when he first arrived in Luceti a few years ago.

However, his behaviour was...odd, almost like a New Feathers, and his journal picked up on it without his notice.]

Brother? Where are you, my brother?

[His accent sounded old and unfamiliar. It’s unsurprising, since it’s from the time before the shattering of languages.

But he’s still lost and worried. It’s not like him to get lost so easily, when he was following his brother very closely.]

...Is this a test from the Lord? Or did a demon lead me astray?

[It’s a few of the assumptions Abel the Shepherd have in mind. They’re the most logical reasons he can think of at the moment. One of his wings twitches, and he glance at it with a curious yet baffled look.]

If so...why do I have wings? I am not an angel.

[He was surprised when he first saw them. How? Why? He can ask all the questions on his mind, but Abel wouldn’t know how to approach this. That may be why he's speaking his thoughts out loud.]

...My Lord?

[Can God hear his words? Of course He can, but will He send him a message?]

(OOC: So Kouki now thinks he's Abel. As in the Bible Abel. Memories wise, the murder haven't "happen" to him yet. Will last for about a week.)

[He sounds wary but curious. His parents laid down the rule to never interact with outsiders, but they might know something. However, they might be unfriendly.]

...Are you sure? If I can not find him, I am sure the Lord can hear my words.

[entreats]

.. Maybe, I guess. [ she's not particularly religious, but still, she'll agree with that much.. ]

But even so, he won't answer.

[de_bel_survivor]

Why would He not? The Lord always answer.

[Such a thought is honestly quite surprising.]

[entreats]

Wait, let's change the angle a little. [ She has to find out what exactly happened to him. ]

What's the last thing you remember? Was he speaking to you soon before it?

[de_bel_survivor]

No. I was following my brother into the field.

[Cain seemed like he have something important to say.]

But I lost my way. [Which honestly confused him. He knows the land around their home fairly well, as do his family.]

[entreats]

[ So he doesn't remember this place at all, he remembers.. being home? From talks with him and Atsuro she knows where they're from, at least roughly, so.. ]

Where was that?

[de_bel_survivor]

It was a little far from Brother's farm, past the forest.

[biblical shit yo what are names]

[entreats]

[ YEAH, THANKS, KOUKI.. THAT REALLY HELPS. Except not. ]

.. Well, your brother's farm isn't anywhere near here either. This is Luceti.

[de_bel_survivor]

[HE IS THE MOST HELPFUL.]

Lu...ceti. [Saying it slowly, testing the foreign word on his tongue.] Where is Luceti?

[entreats]

I'll owe you that answer once I find out myself. At the moment it could be pretty much anywhere. On Earth, on another planet, somewhere under the sea..

[de_bel_survivor]

"Another planet"?

[The concept of planets haven't been discovered, yet, for his time period.

So are a lot of things.]

[entreats]

Another planet.

.. You know, up in space? [ She's didn't expect him to not know that.. ]

[de_bel_survivor]

Space?

[Dude, he's from Old As Shit time. As in, the world is flat and not a sphere old. But older.

Way older.]

[entreats]

[ As in, my beard is so long that it's used at award ceremonies instead of a red carpet, huh. ]

Space-- that's what is up in the air. [ a groan. ] Above the sky and all.

[de_bel_survivor]

Above the sky? That is where the Lord is...

[So space = heaven. Got it.]

[entreats]

.. You're talking about heaven, aren't you? [ Yeah, this is all definitely too weird. What is she going to do with you, Kouki.. ]

That's not what I meant. Space is dark and huge and there's lots of planets and stars in it.

[de_bel_survivor]

[Confused silence.]

I know what are stars, but planets...?

[Older than ye olde time, yo.]

[entreats]

[ HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT PLANETS ARE.. Yeah, by now Ange can figure they must either be talking about really old times or a really different world here, but.. that's weird, isn't it? Why would they do that to Kouki, what does it even have to do with him? ]

The ground you're always standing on is part of a planet. They're like gigantic rocks gloating in space, Earth just happens to be one with life on it.

[de_bel_survivor]

[It's really old times, Ange. Really old. Being one of the first humans old.

Abel try to visualise the image, using her descriptions.]

A planet is a world and also a rock...

[ARE YOU SAYING THE WORLD ISN'T FLAT]

[entreats]

And they circle around stars. Following me so far?

[ She never thought she'd be giving Astronomy 101 classes, honestly.. ]

[de_bel_survivor]

[No one expected a Biblical figure. A non-Jesus one.]

Yes.

[Somewhat following...]

[entreats]

Well, all of those things are up in space. It's what's above the clouds, all around this planet.

[de_bel_survivor]

[]

Incredibly large... [But then again, God create everything and he inhabit but one area of the land.]

And are there other planets?

[entreats]

Plenty of them. Most of them just don't have life on them like Earth does. .. Well, at least, not any planet we have discovered so far.

[de_bel_survivor]

Maybe the Lord have not yet chosen to give life to those planets.
