chimericalclaw: (a: observations)

[personal profile] chimericalclaw 2024-11-21 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
[A few hours after dawn finally returns to Aldrip, there's a knock at the door to Dante's home-cum-office loud enough to hopefully be heard throughout the building.

The lack of communication available during the dark hour highlighted further how much Altius had relied on phones back in his own world; the tablet's lack of access to the locals was enough of an obstacle, but having all avenues other than physical meetings cut off had markedly limited his ability to keep an eye on the other Chosen and any developments they might have found. Suffice to say he didn't like it.

Dante was a part of those he'd wanted to track down, but between his exploration of the dangerous city for supplies and his own purposes, he hadn't ended up tracking the other down. Rather than immediately return to the network to contact Dante, he decided to dedicate his efforts to finding them in person. He wanted to have a conversation he was fairly sure they wouldn't want to be recorded, anyway.

However it is that he finally lays eyes on that clock again, it will be with a look of some tension, as if he's been holding on to some concern. The past week hasn't been kind to any of them, anyway.]

[So his acquaintance was harmed after all. It's no great surprise, he supposes, but he's still not pleased about it.]

I hope you'll understand if that doesn't entirely reassure me... but it's good to see you.

[He lets out a brief breath, cutting out his usual small talk for a more direct manner. This is more serious than a business matter, anyway, and his tone makes that clear.]

Do you have time to talk?
chimericalclaw: (a: ponder)

[personal profile] chimericalclaw 2024-11-22 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
I had a few near misses, admittedly.

[and he still has the potential of an injury in one instance but listen. healing magic is so overpowered.]

But I came across— [he pauses for effect, though there's an uncertain furrow to his brow.] —a doppelganger of yours, I believe. It had some strange things to say.

[His tone lends significant negative weight to the statement. It wasn't a meeting he enjoyed.]
chimericalclaw: (a: oh)

[personal profile] chimericalclaw 2024-11-23 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
[A look of some dismay crosses his face before it settles firmly into further worry.]

It injured you and you're concerned about it "bothering" me? [Half under his breath as he folds his arms:] I should have tried harder to find you...

[To warn Dante, is the implication of his guilty mutter. Altius shakes his head after a moment.]

All it did was speak to me. I only thought you should know what it said; things about lost experiences and fears of regaining them.
chimericalclaw: (a: poor thing)

[personal profile] chimericalclaw 2024-11-23 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[Is it truly an exaggeration, or was it simply drawn from a place Dante refuses to acknowledge? He wonders... but none of that comes to the surface.]

I understand. What you do or don't feel about anything in your mind is a personal matter.

[I'm going to say he's moved inside at this point because the last thing he'd want is for the winter air to make Dante's injuries more uncomfortable. Between showing concern for their physical well being and offering without prompting what secrets the copy shared, he hopes to build trust.]

It also spoke of an aimlessness that came with that lack of memory. [He's not looking directly at Dante, partly to not pressure them into giving any answers; he's not here to ask direct questions about their inner doubts, as much as he might like to learn them. So, to give them an out:] But the way it acted made it clear it wasn't truly you.

[He turns to look at them again with a breath let out through his nose.]

I'm sorry you had to experience that.
chimericalclaw: (a: curiosity)

[personal profile] chimericalclaw 2024-11-23 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Not at all. Unless you consider implying I'd meet another "me" a threat.

[And it certainly would have been a problem if he had, but neither of the Dantes could really know that.]

But I'll tell you what I said then: it's alright to be uncertain. One year is a very short time to learn about yourself and what you want. [He gestures casually with one hand.] It took me nearly twenty of them.

SENTENCING

[personal profile] expi 2025-04-07 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
[You wake up in a courtroom. You’re not really sure how you got here, just that you’re here. There’s Jerry, sitting at the judges box. For some he might be new, and others he might be familiar or semi-familiar. He scrutinizes you, and then motions to the jury box. There’s a plaque that’s sitting on the outside that says “Council”, but there’s no one sitting there. Everything looks clean and maintained, but there’s no one in the courtroom but you and Jerry.

Weird.]


You are charged with aimlessness. In order to repent and further your rehabilitation, you have been tasked to show remorse for your crime by finding worth for yourself and a direction to live life in. You must find a goal to work towards during your time in Aldrip. If there is no action taken, there will be consequences.

[Jerry blinks down at you, fingers threading together as he looks down from the judges’ box.]

How do you plead?

[ooc: you have until May 9th to submit your Sentencing HERE Even if your character doesn’t proceed with the Sentencing, you must comment on the NPC inbox for your penalty.

Also, there are effects for ignoring this Sentencing. The longer that Dante takes to complete their Sentencing, the more melancholy and apathetic they may get. They may even find themself finding it difficult to find entertainment in things that usually entertain them. If you have any questions about Sentencing, please let us know!

Jerry is interactive at this point, but we wanted to make sure you got your information in hand if you'd like to start plotting for your Sentencing!]

[well...]

I have no opinions on what the crimes of others are. I only communicate what my superior would like to pass on to you.

[personal profile] expi 2025-04-08 12:45 pm (UTC)(link)
They are unable to. That's why they have me.

[his superior would love to talk to them, though.]

They believe that they learn something from encounters like these. They are... interested in what the Chosen have to say for themselves.

[personal profile] expi 2025-04-09 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
For rehabilitation. There's a reason why you've been Chosen.

[there's a beat.]

They do not see it as "kidnapping".

[he notes that Dante's getting a bit more irritated. but he doesn't say anything about it, yet.]

I don't have the ability to tell you how the selections are made. That is something even I don't know.

[not privy to everything!!]

We are also learning with each cycle. We are learning, and some Chosen here have advanced through their list of crimes as well.

[ah...]

They were saved in the only way my superior knew how. There were some cycles that were beyond saving, however.
