Action
[Open]

[ . . .He wants to kick himself for discarding the magic device he had found by his ear upon arrival. While the words it had said were nonsense, it wasn't until later that he comes to understand that it may be his only way to find the princess.

. . . And now his companion whom he separated with earlier to go search for it. By now he's given up on finding the magic object. More important, he thinks, is reuniting. They can look for the ear piece later.

At some point he procured material to paint with, as well as a notebook. Apparently the metal beings- which originally he had been wary of could understand him. With the notebook, he's already quickly sketched something within. And with that he wanders around the current sector he's within, and approaches anyone who will spare him a moment.]

Excuse me. [He lifts a clawed hand up to catch their attention and approaches seriously.] I have a missing person to report. He's a boy who appears around the age of sixteen or seventeen, with blond hair, blue eyes, and might have invited himself over for a meal. [Lifting the notebook up there's an incredible sketch on the paper of the boy in question.]

His name is Zeno and he should be in orange...attire like myself. You may have seen him sleeping in a random location, and tends to roam around like a vagabond. If you find him, please return him to me.

[ . . . Maybe he should put up a few posters.]

[Closed to The Happy Hungry Bunch]

[ . . . Apparently he truly is within a foreign country. He can't understand anything anyone has been saying here. But somehow they can understand him? He thinks. The sun is beginning to set, and he realizes that if he doesn't find Zeno soon, or the magical device he'll have to sleep outside without any of his belongings. He's certainly become used to sleeping beneath the stars, even if he isn't particularly a fan. But usually he has a pillow, blanket, and the proper equipment.

Troubled, he expels a sigh, brows knitting as he stares down at the blank page in front of him. Perhaps he should paint the princess, too... She is who he needs to find most of all. If she is alone without one of them now, she must surely be worried. Frustration curls his lips down, a determined expression crossing his features.]

Do not worry, Princess. We will surely find you again. [In the meantime he can only hope that she is with Hak, Jae-Ha, Yoon, and Shin-ah.]

[OOC: Kija does not have his communication device on. He speaks Koukan... which is Korean based-ish, so he likely wont be able to understand anyone, but they should still be able to understand him. P.S. Forgive Kija's terrible art skills.]

[KEKEKEKEKEKE]

How foolish, then. To leave yourself so vulnerable and exposed.

[ WOW. He thought finding the wardens would be difficult. Instead it's just sitting here exposed. Lifting his claw up, he's frustrated that the strength behind it is absent. But surely if he hits it enough that will do the trick.]

You will release me, along with Zeno, this young woman, and the rest of the individuals you have kidnapped here. You will do so immediately or else the wrath of heaven will fall upon you with a vengeance, and it will not be gentle.

	[The driest. Deserts are jealous. Also bored sounding.] Oh no. The humanity. This is terrifying and super effective. What will I do? How could I have been so foolish?

[ URK-! He tried to give it a warning, right? Which is why when his hand pulls back he doesn't feel bad. He will try not to kill it, but things would have been so much easier if it cooperated. Lashing out he strikes hard!!!

. . . Only to realize that despite his claws and his force behind it.... nothing has changed. So again he strikes! And again! And again! And again!

Again, again, again, again, again, again, again!!!]

	[Luckily Kija has the reflexes to halt before he can hurt her. Furious, he glares at the kiosk, clearly riled up.] I am not afraid of a bot. [Whatever a 'bot' is. But though his attack on the impenetrable kiosk has come to an end, he's hardly calmed.] This Kiosk is an affront to heaven! I will not lower myself to ask it for something.

	[She doesn't know what he's saying, but she looks at the kiosk imploringly.] Please just give him a new communicator. You can use my rehabilitation points if they're needed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[NO ONE IS GOING TO HAVE A LOVELY DAY! He's so frustrated. Fists clenching at his side he grinds his teeth.] How dare it! Miss Euphie...! This is responsible for our imprisonment here? [He's not yelling at her. It's clear he's referring to the kiosk.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ . . . . . . Of course, he forgot. Silently fuming to himself he removes hers and passes it back to her carefully, while reaching out to take the one she's handing him. For all of how angry he is, he's surprisingly gentle in the exchange.]

I regret that you had to use your own money [He's assuming she did] And yet now that I have this I suddenly find such an aversion to it! [IT'S LIKE BLOOD MONEY. Only not........]

	Please don't. [She reaches out, placing a hand on his, hoping to calm him further.] Think of it as a gift from me and not something from them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I will not destroy it. [Purposefully. At least there is that. But she-- while reaching out can likely feel the scales that decorate his right hand. With a breath meant to calm himself he turns to look. . . down at her, but hardly (she's about the same height as himself).]

I apologize. I am merely frustrated. [His hand curls] How dare Kiosk! That voice inside of there was infuriating.

	[The texture is unexpected, but the hand is also not the way she knows most hands. She's had much time in this place to adjust to differences.] It can be baiting. I'm sorry. I should have warned you. I suppose I've become used to it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You should not have to become used to such a thing. When we escape, you will not have to deal with it again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ah, well, perhaps that's true. [She doesn't sound very convinced or hopeful. It's hard to be hopeful about something you don't really want to come to pass. Not for yourself at least.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	backoftheline 2016-03-18 09:12 pm UTC (link)
	It will be! [He notices the lack of faith. If nothing else, Kija is painfully optimistic and determined.] Fret not. The ordeal here will be little more than a passing moment in life. You will see. No matter how frustrating that moment might be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She looks at him sadly.] It's very sweet of you to want to to assure me, but that isn't something I want for myself. I do hope everyone finds what they're looking for though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[That draws him a little short. Pausing, he blinks at her.] You... do not wish to leave? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	friendly_fire 2016-03-20 04:11 pm UTC (link)
	No. I want to stay if I can. I wouldn't at the expensive of others, but I hope it wouldn't be like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That seems strange to me. [Honest!] Are you trying to atone for something? Or is it that you simply prefer this place to your home? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
