IC Ezra nodded slowly. "Oh, alright. Do you remember who stole your sword or why it's important?" He asked, looking Lou over carefully. "I wonder who else is here..." he mumbled to himself, there couldn't be too many more, right? Actually it seemed the basically had the whole group together, he, Alex, Lou...Xavier-they were still missing the cheesecake guard. Well...things were sort of paralleling their real world. Ezra was a prince in both, Alex training to be a doctor here, studying to be a scientist there. Lou a pirate here, a gangster there. So going by that logic, Xavier would still be a guard. He would have to check later.

{{ "I believe his name was Ivan, though I can't be sure. Tall guy, red hair, very charming but obviously a liar," Lou said, then shook his head. "It's a family heirloom. I want it back, even if...none of this is real. It's important to me." As if just remembering, Lou asked, "You guard, Xavier, is he...one of us? I thought he looked familiar, but he said he doesn't know me." Lou didn't mention that they had kissed. He wouldn't, especially not in front of Dorian. It would break his poor heart.
Alex was so confused. Lou, Dorian, Xavier-----he didn't remember any of them. His head hurt just thinking about it. It made him dizzy. He sat down slowly on a stack of hay. "Ugh, my head hurts," he mumbled. After a moment, though, he realized that his head actually was hurting. Badly. He guessed he was getting a headache from all this craziness. }}

IC "You've met Xavier already? He's still a guard though, so that's good. He well, I'm not exactly his friend, but he's with-uh...he's friends-you two are close, and he's a friend of my sort of friend, and I know him as the cheesecake guard...I don't think cheesecake is a thing yet actually," Ezra paused and frowned. That was sad. Cheesecake was the best, there was a reason he had requested it for his birthday which then started the whole cheesecake incident. It was his favorite. However then Alex mentioned his head hurting and Ezra's attention was all too quickly brought back to him. "Are you okay? If your head hurts maybe you should go lie down..." he suggested, concern eminent in his voice.

{{ "Cheesecake?" Lou had no idea what that was, but he shrugged it off. It was only going to get weirder from here on out, he knew that. So, he and Xaviee were close... They weren't just friends, he knew that much. Alex tried to smile at Ezra, but his head was hurting so bad that it looked more like a grimace. "I'm okay," he said, but agreed with him. "But maybe I should lie down. I don't feel very good." In fact, he felt sick to his stomach. This was all too much to handle, it seemed. }}

IC "Did you want me to walk with you to your room? You shouldn't lie down in the stables and I don't want you to be alone walking around when you're hurting," he told him, he would have offered his room but different world, not quite appropriate. Ezra wasn't exactly sure what his boundaries were with Alex yet. He had to consider a lot and so he had mostly just found himself keeping to his own personal bubble. He also had a lot of explaining to do with Lou, but Alex came first, he could talk to Lou about everything later.

{{ "That's a good idea," Alex agreed moving to stand up. He was a little wobbly on his feet and, surprisingly, it was Dorian who reached out to steady him with a small smile. "I think... I could use a really, really long nap." He had a slight urge to grab Ezra's arm, but he tried to ignore it, instead choosing to simply walk just a little bit closer than was probably proper. Lou watched them with furrowed eyebrows. "You be careful, Ezra. I'm getting a bad feeling about all of this." }}

IC Ezra looked back over at Lou. "Careful about what exactly?...I need to bring Alex back to his room so he can rest, but after, if you stick around, I will come back and then, I could explain everything in more detail, I'd be happy to explain everything to you-" he paused to look over a Dorian. "Just you though, Lou," he added, since he didn't really think including Dorian on everything he had to say was right, it didn't really concern him and he didn't want anyone hovering over his and Lou's conversion.

Alex didn't enjoy being a deadweight, but he kind of felt like one at the moment with how dizzy and sick he was. Once they were slightly out of earshot, he told Ezra, "I'm sorry. It seems like all I'm good for right now is apologizing." }}

IC Ezra shook his head. "No, you're good for many things, it's perfectly fine to get a headache," he reassured and leaned a bit closer to him. "You can lean on me if you need too," he added, knowing they might get weird looks, but Alex needed help and he really didn't care about the rest of the world when Alex needed help. "You'll have to tell me where your room is, I only know where my room is, where the library is and now the stables," he explained softly.

{{ Alex wasn't so sure about that, but he wouldn't argue. Instead, he took Ezra up on his offer and leaned against him, though only slightly. He knew they would get plenty of odd looks, but thankfully, the halls were fairly empty at this time of the day. Most people were too busy doing their own thing. "My room is in the basement," Alex told him, disliking that fact even more by the day. He led Ezra down the stairs, and down, and even further down, until there were eventually no windows and the rooms became smaller, more insignificant. }}

OOC Hi Shouts! Ugh the flu has been going around my family lately and I caught it, now I feel awful. How're you?
IC Ezra looked at everything, frowning as they went on. The living conditions down here were awful. If there was something he could do for Alex without coming off as weird or suspicious, he would. He just about did offer his room, however the problem with that was that he had a man servant. A very annoying and annoyed man servant who had access to his room whenever so he could clean it or whatever else, and Ezra didn't think they needed to have him find Alex in his room. "It's so small down here, how do you not feel closed in?" Ezra asked softly.

》Exactly the same. Whatever horrible stomach flu has been going around, I caught it. I feel better than I have in a couple days, though, so that's good.
I hope you feel better, too.《
{{ Alex hated the living conditions as much as any other reasonable person would. It was cold and dark and altogether as unpleasant as a room could be. More like a dungeon than a bedroom. It had never crossed his mind that Ezra, if the situation had been different, would have just taken him to his own room. "It's... I do feel closed in. It's not great," he admitted as they walked along the narrow hall. "But it's better than nothing." At last, he stopped at a room, the door creaking as he opened it. "Well, this is my room. Thank you for...walking with me." He was a little reluctant to say goodbye. "I... I'll meet up with you later sometime soon." }}

OOC Ah man that's awful, I'm sorry buddy.
IC Ezra smiled at him, glancing into his room for a second before focusing on Alex again. "If you need anything at all, you let me know, okay?" He asked, looking Alex in the eyes. "I'll stick right around the castle, unless I get dragged off for some reason, so it should be easy enough to find me if you need too," he added and then without really thinking much, wrapped his arms around Alex to give him a tight, comforting hug. "I hope you feel better soon."

OOC Alright I guess, kinda been a boring day though, tbh. Wbu?
IC Ezra nodded. "Yes, Lou. We were friends with him, before this happened. I think he may have been one of my only true friends," he confessed and gave Alex another smile. "I'll see you soon," he promised, standing on his tiptoes to gently and quickly press a kiss to his cheek before he started off, blushing again. He should not have done that, in this day and age it would not have been appropriate. But...it was Alex and it was so easy to forget that he needed to act differently right now, that he couldn't just be as affectionate as usual. Luckily there wasn't anyone there but them to see, that he knew of at least. Ezra shook his head as he walked off, tying to clear it. Now it was time to go explain everything to Lou.

》It's been an okay day. Just the usual school drama.《
{{ The surprise that the hug had caused Alex was absolutely nothing compared to his shock at being kissed, even if it had been on the cheek. He blushed, mouth gaping and staring after Ezra. Oh, boy, he was going to have a hard time getting used this. Even if the kiss had been very, very nice... Shaking his head, he closed his door, before lying down on his small bed.
~~~~~~~~~~
Lou was waiting exactly where Ezra had left him in the stables. He'd taken a seat on a barrel, feet propped up against one of the fences, arms crossed. Dorian, of course, was right beside of him, their sides touching, although it certainly wasn't anything as cuddly or touchy-feely as what Ezra and Alex did. When Lou spotted Ezra making his way back, he nudged Dorian with his elbow and gave him a smile. "Why don't you go explore for a bit? I'm sure there's something interesting around for you to find," he suggested lightly.
Dorian frowned, clearly unhappy, but he lowered his head reluctantly. "Fine," he mumbled, standing up to leave, though he glanced back at Lou before he finally left. }}

IC Ezra was still trying very hard not to be upset with himself for forgetting not to be too affectionate. Poor Alex had to put up with him kissing his cheek...Ezra once again shook his head to clear it, waving to Lou as he walked back into the stables, waiting until Dorian had left before finally focusing on Lou. "So you probably want an explanation then, huh?" He asked, leaning against one of the stalls. "Well...I don't know how to explain this. But you, me, Alex, Xavier since we established that he's here too, we're not...from here. This isn't our world, none of this is really real or where we belong," Ezra explained and folded his arms. "Last night I went to sleep, camping outside in a very special place with someone I love. This morning I woke up in a bed that was not mine, in an era I did not belong to, living a life I had no memory of...and you three seemed to have come with me, even if I seem to be the only one to remember," Ezra explained.

{{ "A different time, you say? Or, I suppose, it could be a different world entirely," Lou thought out loud, looking at Ezra carefully and thoughtfully. It was a bizarre situation they had found themselves in, but Lou had no doubts that there had to be a way out of it. Somehow, at least. "The question is, how did we get here? My best guess would be magic. My family has always practiced a little, other than fortune telling. It isn't something many people can do, though." Sitting up, he fidgeted in his seat, wringing his hands nervously. "If you truly are a close friend of mine, and I believe you are, I'll share my honest thoughts with you. I've been getting a bad feeling since I woke up. Like something dark and sinister is lurking behind every corner. I don't like this place. I don't know what it is, but it's not good." }}

IC "It has to be magic," Ezra agreed, it was the only thing that made sense. "A bad feeling? Well, I trust you...I don't know why but we specifically it seems, have been targeted and it doesn't look like anyone but me fully remembers, and I get the feeling that I wasn't supposed to remember. Alex only vaguely remembers something, and I don't know about you, but have you...remembered anything? Felt something different?" He asked curiously, looking Lou over.

We seemed close," he said, leaving out all the little, unimportant details. Like the fact thay he'd kissed Xavier. And that they had been together, not just close. That was... Even if Ezra did know him, he didn't feel comfortable sharing it. Not yet. "I think that's all I know. Ezra, I...have a crazy idea. Will you listen to it?"

IC "Close? Makes sense..." Ezra started, they were together even if Ezra wasn't exactly sure how close the two actually were, but at least that did help his suspicions that even if there were no memories, there were feelings or vague possible memories. "A crazy idea? Crazier than suddenly being trapped in quite possibly a whole other world? I think crazy just became our new normal," he joked lightly, then going serious. "But what is it? I'll listen."

{{ Crazy was certainly their new normal. In the face of being sent to a strange alternate universe, Lou supposed his plan wasn't that weird. "None of us fit in here. Even if we think we do. I have...memories of living in this world, but they're probably fake. You remember everything, so you don't remember ever living here," Lou said, trying to piece everything together as neatly as he could. "If we stay here, I have a feeling nothing will get fixed. We should leave. Search around the country, the continent, if we have to. I'd like to find my sword, but that can wait." He knew Ezra, as the prince, couldn't just leave though. "So, I think I should pretend to kidnap you, your loyal guard and your poor, beloved doctor. That way, we can all just leave." }}

OOC Have you ever just had a scene that you can picture really well for some reason? Like better than the others? Like this time with voices for the characters, and it's like you're actually there? Cause I swear I can picture this scene so well!
Oh hey, also I've been slowly trying to migrate my 1x1s to pm, would you be up for that or would you rather stay here?
IC Leave...something he had tried to do so many times before, back home-home meaning his actual world and not specifically Vloskia or whatever else. He had been able to accomplish that, even if for only a short amount of time. This place...he didn't actually hold any attachments to here, nor did he actually feel as though he held any responsibility to this place. "Leave..." he repeated out loud, obviously rather lost in thought. "I've always wanted to leave...for good. Maybe not this place, but my Vloskia. I never really have been able to," he admitted with a halfhearted smile as his gaze met the floor. "Yes. Let's do it," he agreed, getting more excited the more he thought about it. "We can leave, and we can explore, we can try to find out how we got here...who put us here, and how to get back," he suggested before frowning again. "That is, if everyone does want to go back..."

He was so glad that Ezra seemed to be entirely on board with it. "I don't remember anything from before, but... I think I'd like to go back," he admitted honestly. "We should leave as soon as we can, though. So... I'd suggest you and Alvin or whatever his name is go find supplies. Don't be too obvious, but you'll need clothes, food, medical supplies, and whatnot." He stood up stretching. "I have a guard to convince that his whole life is a lie." }}
