| you put a fever inside me

WHO: Adelis and you!
WHAT: December open/Catch-all
WHEN: Until January
WHERE: All over
WARNINGS: TBA


≫ The Hands-on Approach

[ he was hoping he'd be able to put off dealing with it for longer, but life is never kind, as he's come to learn the hard way. he's put a decent effort into the fields thus far, but as the days went on, it became harder to stand outside for long periods of time...especially under the blasted sun, which still made his eyes throb in pain. even it's warmth can't chase off the ice cold beneath his skin, which drains the color from adelis' features and leaving him pale as a ghost.

finally, he can't take it anymore. his pride be damned, he can't stand being nearly utterly useless. so he shoves that stupid card in his pocket, laces up his heels and attempts to make himself look presentable, and locks the door behind him on the way out.

maybe you're a neighbour, who's farm happens to be not too far. maybe you're passing by on errands, to and from town. or maybe you run into him in town itself, gaze latching onto the first tolerable(?) person to pass his vision. ]


...Pardon me.

[ he looks, well...not good. he's abnormally pale, circles dark under his eyes. while adelis holds himself up high, back straight and gaze sharp, there's an exhaustion clinging to his limbs that's easy to note. ]

I require your...assistance with something, if you've a moment to spare.

[ he's trying really hard to make it look like this isn't paining him to ask. ]

≫ Overdue

[ while not the sort you'd think to frequent the library, should you enter one day, you'll happen to see him with a rather tidy stack right next to him. the titles vary, all from various genres and tip sections, but judging by the scowl on his face, he's not having a particularly swell time.

there's an exasperated noise as he drops the one he was currently holding beside him, closed, with a soft thunk. ]


Useless. [ he isn't shouting it, but he isn't particularly keeping quiet, either, as he grumbles to himself. ] This would be far easier if I could parse half the bloody words they were using. 'Simple' my arse.

[ maybe he needs a dictionary. ]

≫ Wildcard

[ continued from here (yell at me if this is in the wrong place?? ;D) ]

Then... what are your hobbies?

[ There's a mellow but sincere curiosity in his voice, even as it trails off once Kaspar catches the motion. It's not cold at all, which furrows his brow a little once again. He doesn't have anything to say about it quite yet. ]

[ If M-21's ever set foot in a library before being brought here, he doesn't remember it. But with his cellphone out of commission and exactly zero other clues where to find information of "how to not super murder plants," he's here semi-habitually.

He shoots a glance over his farming book at the irritable guy across from him. It's not like this is going brilliantly for him, but at least he can't say it's the words that are the problem. ]


...I thought we all read the language now.

[He is a neighbor who, thankfully, already happens to be out and about. Syrlya stops with an immediately double take at Adelis, brows immediately raising in concern. He looks awful.]

It's no trouble. What do you need? [A medic??]

[ Kaspar stays quiet through the first part, unsure if that was all he was going to say. At least what freedoms he did have allowed him some sports. And the notion of cards is yet another commonality that he wants to hold onto, though his experience is largely from a distance.

So he seems pleased, in his own way, to ask--
]

What kinds of card games?

[ He looks a lot salty. But M-21's face is permanently stuck Like This so he can't really comment. ]

You're another one. [ Another what... ] Yeah, I know what those are. Better than this place does, anyway.

[ Is he still a little unimpressed by the CRT TV? Maybe. He digs in his pocket to pull out his cellphone, currently turned off, and shows it over. ]

A phone's like this. Or those blocky things back at the house. You use them to talk to other people with one.

[The request is much simpler than he anticipates, but he recovers from the surprise quickly with a small, reassuring smile.]

You needn't worry about that. [He probably doesn't mean for six hours or something, right? This is too small to need anything in return.

Syrlya holds his hand in offering. It is gloved--he hasn't considered if it might need to be skin contact yet.]
If it will help, here.

[That's a color that's usually sickly on humans, isn't it?]

Oh! Of course. [He looks back down and tugs his glove off similarly. Over the pale grey-green skin is a splotchy teal pattern that goes from the tips of his fingers and up into his sleeve.

Once uncovered He holds his hand out in offering again, allowing Adelis to make the first move. His hand is slightly cool to the touch, completely absent of any internal heat, and the texture is smooth and slightly waxy. Rather like touching grass wrapped around a stem.]

me: figuring out if he should know of poker dhdh

...

[ Kaspar hums, hoping he can find some playing cards now. He knew some games of his own, more childish ones but learning poker sounds fun too.

He says the next part flatly, but breaks it after with a smile and a nod towards the task board where there is a task about friends.
]

Then, should we be friends instead?

[Syrlya's expression is equally surprised, because he expects Adelis' hand to be much warmer than his. Is this guy... is he actually undead?]

Um--no, it isn't any trouble. [He clears his throat.] I'm Syrlya, by the way.

[ Even M-21 wouldn't have put it that harshly, but he gives a little huff of amusement. It's not wrong, per se. But he's got the leeway to be a little charitable this time. ]

Someone who's not part of the society I'm used to. [ A beat, and a little more grudgingly, because this hasn't stopped being weird yet: ] Or from earth.

[ Which makes explaining a little more tricky, but he's gotten some practice. His brow furrows too as he tucks the phone safely away again. ]

A sending stone? That some kind of magic? If it's for talking, then... close enough. That's all you can use those old models for. You need the number for whoever you want to call, because it doesn't remember it for you. [ If he'd ever used one in his life before the memory loss, it would be very convenient to be able to recall that now. Well, how complicated could it be? ]

[ Mona enters the library and makes note of the man with a large pile of books beside him. She's content to leave him be and go about her business, but then she hears a rather audible thunk – something hitting the ground, obviously – and she turns her head towards the sound. There's grumbling and a whole lot of discontent.

What's more interesting, however, is what he's complaining about. She's curious. Mona takes her chances and approaches.
]

Oh? What sort of language are they using that's making it such a difficult read?

[It is a bit awkward, mostly because Adelis clearly feels awkward about it. So Syrlya is trying not to bring attention to it.]

The farming, you mean? [His attire is a bit fancy for a farm. Granted, it's also fancy for being a soldier.] It isn't in my experience, no. And the technology here is... odd. Have you seen all of the food packed in colorful bags and boxes?

[Modern food packaging is an enigma.]
