Fourth Misfortune - [accidental video/action]

[When the video turns on, all that can be seen is the gray sky up above and all that can be heard is the sound of one of the rivers close by. All else is quiet and nothing is moving.

However, after a moment, there's shuffling along with a few sniffles. It's obvious a person is there just not visible on the camera. Czes had been walking around in the snow when he tripped and fell. More than likely from a root sticking up from underneath the snow.

He sits up, rubbing his arms before shouting out a name.]
F-Fermet!!

[He almost sounds like he’s about to cry. Well, okay he is crying. Tears are falling down his cold, red cheeks and he begins to let out a few choked sobs and gasps. He's cold and he's scared. It’s been a little over a half of an hour since he woke up in this forest and all he’s been doing is walking around trying to find someone--hopefully Fermet--but to no avail.

At least the Malnosso gave him a jacket to wear, though it isn't doing him much good in the long run.

The very same strange men had also given him a book before he passed out then woke up in the forest and told him to keep it safe. Why? He isn’t sure, but he’s been carrying it with him ever since. Like it will protect him if he holds it close enough to him.

The crying continues for a minute before he forces himself to calm down a little, mumbling the same name he shouted earlier to himself.]
Fermet... [He sniffles, takes a moment to rub his eyes then shuffles over to the journal. His face finally comes into view of the camera but he doesn’t know it’s turned on. The boy looks to be about six years old, his cheeks and nose are red, his eyes are glossy with tears and hold a look of fear in them.

His face doesn’t stay long on the feed as he shakily picks it up, dusts the snow off of it and closes it to hold it to his chest, which there is where the feed ends.

--- ---

A little later on in the day (towards later in the afternoon) anyone close to the plaza may spot a boy kneeling down in the snow. He isn’t making a snowman or snowballs or anything of the like. Instead, he’s pouring sugar and honey onto the snow. And then eating it straight off the ground. At least there's a good few inches of snow and it's not just sitting on dirt.

Snow is delicious, okay?]

[This isn't going anywhere and it's getting a bit frustrating.]

Look, I'll come to you okay?

Just stay put.

[YES AND THEY COME WITH-!

Hot chocolate. Cross has already run out the door, run to the general store on the way to grab a heck of a lot of winter stuff for the kid, and has already a thermos of the delicious drink.

It takes him about 20 minutes all together to actually find the kid.]

There you are!

[Running over to the kid he's already on his knees in front of him just handing the stuff over.]

Get that on before you freeze to death.

[Aw damn it really kid? Cross just watches him run back from him. Okay, so this kid doesn't like strangers. Okay...soo...he'll just set the stuff on the ground and back up a good 10 feet.]

Okay, I'll just stand here than. Sorry about scaring you but you know, kind of worried about you here.

[Just get it faster kid, it's cold and he's getting very anxious as to not let the kid freeze to death.]

Hm? Oh it's just hot chocolate but it's in a thermos to keep it warm. It'll help warm you up a bit.

[WELL OF COURSE THERE'S A JACKET! Seeing a kid in a bunch of rags tends to scream, BRING WARM CLOTHES!]

Of course. Look at what you're wearing. I thought these would be better.

[It's not zipped up, it's not zipped up, it's not zipped.]

Um, you forgot the zipper there. You know what a zipper is right?
hero_of_smiles: (Calm)

[He'll offer a kind smile to that. Poor kid doesn't even know what a zipper is.]

Um, here if you let me I can do it up for you. I promise I'm friendly.

[He'll get on his knees now once he draws close enough. Taking the zipper and the bottom of the jacket, he connects it and zips it all the way.]

There, better now, right?

[He'll ruffle the boy's hair a bit.]

No problem. Now, do you want to come back to the village? Everyone's really nice and we can get you a good hot meal and all that nice stuff.

Of course, you can have all the sherbet you want! Stuff yourself if you want! But, hot stuff first, okay?

[He'll offer his hand for the boy to take.]

[Grinning at Czes's obvious excitement he crouches down a bit at eye level.]
No probs there, kid. By the way, my name's Cross.

[He'll offer a hand to shake.]

[personal profile] hero_of_smiles 2013-03-06 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Cross can only eye the boy's own hand when he doesn't shake his own. Did this kid not know what a handshake was?

Well, a bow will be cool for now. He'll grin back at the kid at his name.]

Czeslaw, huh? Well, okay, Czeslaw, why do we head to the village so you can get your sherbert and hot meal?
hero_of_smiles: (Default)

Action; this is so late sorry

[personal profile] hero_of_smiles 2013-03-21 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
[And off they go! Cross will just march in a very silly manner as he leads Czes back to the village.]
