007 || {Video / Action} || BACKDATED to the 3rd, late morning.

[contempsi]

[It's not cold at all - even in spite of the rain - but after a bit of shivering, disoriented wandering Hope will find himself stranded on the path, and even more confused than when he initially came around after being the unfortunate victim of routine experimentation.

He plops to his knees in the dirt before slipping in the haze and landing squarely on his butt, not caring at all for the muck that would inevitably stain his shorts.]

Ugh...

[With a groan, he first lifts a hand to wipe away the silvery bangs dripping in his eyes, then wraps both arms around himself with a shiver. The camera's view might catch a flash of chalk-white on the back of a wrist, stark even against his fair skin, if one were looking hard enough.

The journal's been recording all of this, but the boy doesn't seem to notice, drawing his knees up and resting his forehead against them.]


(ooc: Lightning and I think Gem are going to go find him, but anyone else is welcome to poke him through the journal too. :D)

Are you sure you don't want me to come help? I could at least help you get out of the rain, even if you're not hurt.

[Hope groggily shakes his head.]

If I leave my post, my partner won't be able to locate me.

[His expression is totally serious to back that statement up, too.]

[knightofratatosk]

Are they coming to find you?

[Video]

[contempsi.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

[Wiping at his face some more.]

Unless you want to play in the rain with me until she gets here...

[Cue him randomly squishing a lump of mud in his palm like a little kid. Er.]

[Blink blink. He's... not sure whether to take that seriously or not.]

Huh? I guess I could if you really wanted to...

Okay. I don't know where I am, though. I just know there's a lot of water.

[His voice is pretty mellow right now, perhaps even dry, but he's happily piling mud against itself like he's a five-year-old making a delicious pie.]

It looks like you're on one of the paths, so you shouldn't be that hard to find. I'll be there as soon as I can! Just don't close your journal until I get there, okay?

[Video]

[contempsi.livejournal.com]

Okay... I'll do that.

[And he goes back to his... whatever he's doing... seemingly without a care in the world.]

[Emil will be grabbing two umbrellas (one for himself and one for Hope) and setting out to track down the other boy. It shouldn't be a lengthy task given that there are only so many paths in the village for him to search.]

[Action forever]

[Well, whenever Emil does find him? He'll be sitting on his butt in the middle of one of the pathways, his calves flecked with mud, a good deal of it splattered over his shoes and his hands coated in the stuff.

As he creates a tower. Out of mud. It's like sand except it's mud.]
