Cup 011: Iroh [Video]

[ginsengismyfave.livejournal.com]

[Iroh looks like he's in some store.  It's hard to tell, because it's somewhat dark.  Iroh looks rather winded and on high alert.]

Those creatures out there are dangerous.  I don't know if anyone else has dealt with them, but they don't go down without a fight.

[The camera angle shifts.  The shelves behind Iroh are filled with what looks like bricks and wheels of cheese.  A natural hiding place, it is.]

If anyone's out there, find somewhere to hide.  You shouldn't be out alone.

I-Iroh?! A-are you alright?! Y-you're not hurt are you?

[Of course he once again forgets he's older now, but even so he will do his best to help Iroh out in anyway he can.]

[Iroh blinks. It's not Piccolo, but he looks like him. Now who could...]

Dende? Goodness, you look so much older! What happened?

[Dende laughs nervously and rubs the back of his neck]

Well the Author apparently thought it would be better if I was an adult apparently... It's been 27 years since I was at the manor last... But more importantly, are you alright?! Where are you? I can come and help!

27 years...[It's only been a few weeks since Iroh last saw Dende.]

I'm at the fromagerie near the Hotel du Louvre. But please, don't put yourself at risk for me.

[Besides, there's plenty of cheese to eat while he waits.]

[Dende smiles/i>]

It's no trouble at all! I've grown a bit stronger since I was a child. I'll be right there!

[Dende cuts the feed and hones in on Iroh's location. It only takes him a few minutes to get there, bless flying. Very careful not to attract any unwanted attention he lands a block from the fromagerie and cautously duck inside]

Iroh? Are you in here?

[He keeps his voice hushed just in case]

[Iroh pokes his head out from behind the counter.]

Dende? How good to see you again.

[in person]

[holy-pickle.livejournal.com]

[Dende smiles and quickly hops behind the counter with Iroh]

Iroh! It's been so long! Ah..well for me in any case... Are you well? You haven't gotten hurt have you?

[in person]

[ginsengismyfave.livejournal.com]

No, I'm fine. Just a bit shaken. These creatures are everywhere.

[He smiles at Dende.] You look well. It seems your time away was good for you.

[in person]

[holy-pickle.livejournal.com]

[Dende lets out a sigh of relief]

I'm glad to hear you're well.

[he laughs shyly at the remark]

It has been quite a nice time away, I must admit. Things have sorted out nicely from the events I was dealing with as a child. Though I'm not to keen on being dragged back here, I suppose it's a better alternative then having to deal with a plot like this as a child...

Re: [in person]

[ginsengismyfave.livejournal.com]

Indeed. [It seems that Dende is much more well-adjusted now than he was as a child, and for that Iroh is pleased.]

I for one am glad to have you back.

[in person]

[holy-pickle.livejournal.com]

As bad as a place the mannor is, I will admit... it is good to see some old friends again. I thank you for watching out for me while I was younger.

[Dende's warm smile fades as he glances over the counter]

Iroh, I don't suppose you have any idea about what's going on? I was vaguely aware of people getting injured and monsters, but I arrived a bit late and I'm afraid I missed the full brunt of it.

Re: [in person]

[ginsengismyfave.livejournal.com]

It brought me great pleasure to do so.

From what I heard, these soul-eating creatures are wandering the streets. Some people are...weapons...and others are the meisters. I'm not quite sure what it means, but we're supposed to fight these monsters.

[Zidane had been checking the feeds on his blackberry when he came across Iroh's message. His hair is very messy like he just woke up - and the wide yawn suggests he has.]

'Creatures?' That witch author doesn't take very long to get bored, does she? What did I miss?

[ginsengismyfave.livejournal.com]

Hello, Zidane.

I'm afraid you've missed quite a lot. We're in Paris now, and she's seen fit to let these soul-eating creatures loose in the city.

[He sighs.]

And it was such a lovely week before that, too.

[Ed looks worried]

Uncle Iroh!?

[ginsengismyfave.livejournal.com]

Edward?

[He looks relieved.]

Please, come here. It's not safe for you to be out by yourself.

[radical-edward0.livejournal.com]

Okay! Edward is on her way!

[Big Ed smile, as if she's never been worried in her life]

[ginsengismyfave.livejournal.com]

[Sometimes, Iroh has trouble believing she ever has.]

Alright. [He smiles, and chuckles.] Be careful, please.

Kay-kay!

[Ed marches off and ends the feed. In a few minutes she finds Iroh and enters the room tumbling]

[Iroh runs to Ed and wraps her up in a big, pillowy hug.]

You're not hurt, are you?

[In Person]

[radical-edward0.livejournal.com]

[AWWWW, Ed likes hugs. When she lets go she looks herself over as if checking for injuries]

Nu-uh! Edward is a-okay!

[Iroh sighs with relief.]

Thank goodness. Those things out there are getting bold.

[In Person]

[radical-edward0.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh! Bold and italic and underlined!

Re: [In Person]

[ginsengismyfave.livejournal.com]

[He smiles. It's comforting to hear her nonsensical asides again.]

Well, I'm glad you're here. Have you seen anyone else? I hope they're all okay...

[radical-edward0.livejournal.com]

Um, a couple?
