OOC Yeah? I'm curious. Whatcha thinking?
IC "That's good," Ezra told him. "As for meditation and yoga, I think that's a good idea. I'd even be willing to do that with you, if you wanted," Ezra told him before he focused over at Lou. "Sorry again, for all of that. Maybe we should let you rest. You could probably use some time to rest after all that," he told him while Xavier spoke quietly to Kuro after the guy had stopped talking to Lou, promising to treat him as he had before, luckily Kuro at least had calmed down by now and was muttering something about needing some fur therapy with his cats.

》I was thinking that since Lou's family is, at least kind of, magical, that there could be more than a little magic in this world. Somehow, the entire group-----Ezra, Alex, Lou, Xavier and maybe Kuro-----goes and accidentally kind of time travels or gets sent to a parallel universe. In this universe, the whole gang doesn't know each other and are completely oblivious to the "modern" world.
I was thinking the only person who remembers is Ezra. I figured it would be interesting, at least, because he'd have to convince everyone else he was telling the truth and he wasn't just crazy. And Alex wouldn't know him, so it would be like they just met.
I'm also open to ideas or suggestions, if you have any. :3《
{{ Alex smiled and ruffled Ezra's curls, because he could at least do that without everyone staring at them. "That would be nice. I'm not sure if it would be any fun doing it by myself," he said. He really, really wanted to hug Ezra right now. Hug him and snuggle him and relax that way. Honestly, he'd be completely relaxed if things would just stop going wrong. "I'm sorry things haven't been so great for you."
Lou blinked at Kuro's comment about his cats. He looked like a cat person. "Bring your cats with ya next time. I'm more of a dog person, but cats are cute, too. They'd make this whole place a little less gloomy," he joked and laughed. "Ya can cuddle them while ya visit me. You're great and all, Xavier, but I told ya Kuro's pretty cute, too." }}

OOC I like that idea, it would be super fun, actually. How would we go about it, though?
IC Kuro laughed lightly at that and Xavier chuckled along. "Yeah he's also aro and ace, shame but that's how it is, also trust me you do not want him to bring his cats here. There's eleven of them and they shed like crazy-except for the hairless one. I doubt he even could bring them all," Xavier stated and Kuro mostly looked sheepish. He did have a lot of cats, Xavier hated them. He wasn't a cat person, but that didn't mean the cats didn't like him, it was actually pretty funny.
"It's settled then, we can start doing morning yoga and meditation," Ezra agreed. It could be fun and a good activity for them in the morning. A healthy way to relax and also have an excuse not to leave the room so early in the morning.

》Hm, that I'm not so certain about. Maybe when they go to sleep later that night, they all wake up and are suddenly in the other world? Except only Ezra knows that something strange is going on and he has to go find everyone in order to explain.
They'd have to find a way to get back and maybe figure out what caused it, once Ezra convinces them that he's telling the truth about it.《
{{ "That's...a lot of cats. Why do ya have so many cats?" Lou gave Kuro a weird, maybe a little curious look. Why would a man need that many cats? Was he that lonely? "I'm gonna find ya a girlfriend. Or a boyfriend. One that likes animals. Because ya seem like ya need one, no offense."
Alex resisted the urge to grab Ezra and kiss him. This meant they could spend more time together, too, and have some time in the morning to just relax with one another. It would be nice. "I'd love that. I can't imagine doing yoga, though. I'm not very flexible." }}

OOC Yeah that could work. We just throw these characters in one thing after another, don't we? XD
IC Kuro shook his head. "No-please, I mean-thank you but I really don't want a girlfriend, or a boyfriend. I'm very happy being single, wouldn't prefer it any other way. I have friends and I have family, and I have my cats, I really don't need anyone else in my life. I'm not lonely, I'm happy, and I like it that way," Kuro excused quickly. He did not need a romance in his life. At all.
"You ready to go?" Ezra asked Alex quietly, they could go back and it seemed like Lou could use the rest anyways, in fact they all could use some rest after all of that, and besides, Ezra wanted to be close to Alex, to ignore the world for awhile with him but he couldn't do that here.

{{ Lou could understand that. Romance wasn't always a good thing for everyone. He grinned and shrugged. "Thought I'd at least offer," he said, then waved to Alex and Ezra. "I'll see ya guys later. If ya wanna head home early today, ya can, Xavier. I think I'll have plenty of guards here for a little while, unfortunately."
Alex nodded and waved to Lou as he headed for the door. Once they were at least out of the room and away from Lou and the others, he glanced around to make sure no one was looking before he pecked Ezra's cheek. "Let's go back and relax for a bit." Right now, all he wanted to do was snuggle with Ezra, maybe cuddle while reading a good book, and go to sleep. They'd had a hectic day. }}

IC "Yeah but are any of them competent like me?" Xavier asked smugly and Kuro nudged him lightly to get him to humble up, he had to do that an awful lot. "But uh, might not be too bad of an idea to head back a bit early," he agreed. "Sure you'll be okay though? I don't want to leave if I'd be better use here," he told Lou and Kuro looked at him for a few moments before smiling and shaking his head, who knew he could actually care about someone else?
-
Ezra smiled up at him and nodded to Alex. "That sounds like a great idea. Maybe we should request a special dinner tonight, like...chocolate chip waffles, nothing really dinner like, but it would taste good," Ezra said as he started to head out of the hospital. Besides he was hoping to ignore his mother for as long as possible, dinner and cuddling would work well for that.

{{ "Alright, ya overconfident knucklehead," Lou teased gently and rolled his eyes, but he nodded his head at the guard's question. "I'll be fine, don't worry. I think I'm just gonna take a nap, maybe watch a couple movies. Nothin' too interestin'." He felt exhausted, both mentally and physically. A nap would do him some good. "Don't get into any trouble, Xavier," he joked with a smile. For some reason he couldn't explain, he was very tempted to kiss Xavier goodbye. Lou was feeling much more affectionate at the moment. "But first, get over here so I can kiss ya. Sorry, Kuro, but you're just gonna have to deal with a little PDA."
"Mmm, chocolate chip waffles sound amazing right now. And maybe some cheesecake for dessert?" Alex loved the idea of him and Ezra just eating dinner together and pretending their parents didn't exist. Leaning in close to Ezra, with his lips against the prince's ear, he whispered, "How about we have a picnic? We can go to our little hideout, have dinner and maybe sleep there tonight?" It sounded romantic and peaceful, exactly what they needed. "No one will bother us there." }}

IC Kuro shrugged, honestly he didn't care for PDA but he could put up with it. So Xavier, though a bit flustered, scratched the back of his head lightly and gave a small laugh before he started over to Lou. "Heh alright. I'll be back right on time tomorrow though," he promised while Kuro started to the door, ready to leave and go snuggle with his cats and watch a good documentary.
-
A picnic and a campout, in their spot where no one could bother them, and they could eat all the waffles and cheesecake they wanted. "That sounds perfect, and you can finally show me all the constellations," he added, and since they weren't really any people around, he reached for Alex's hand and gave it a light squeeze. "So long as no one drowns," he added in a half joking manner.

"Hey, Xavier... Be careful on your way home," he said, looking up at him with slightly worried brown eyes. "I don't want ya gettin' hurt."
Alex grinned and held Ezra's hand gently as they climbed into the waiting car. He sat close to Ezra, already feeling cuddly. "I'd love to show you all my favorite constellations," he murmured, kissing Ezra's ear. Nothing too much yet, though. "And fall asleep with you near a campfire." Alex realized he'd never really liked all these sappy things until he'd met Ezra. Now he loved doing them. The car ride felt short, but he was thankful for that. }}

He asked, lingering in the doorway as Kuro quickly told him he would wait for him outside and waved to Lou in farewell while Xavier told him goodbye and followed Kuro out. Maybe he'd get some extra sleep tonight, be nice and awake for tomorrow.
-
"I'd like that too," Ezra agreed and before he knew it, the car ride was over and they were back at the castle. "I know we have sleeping bags somewhere in the castle, should I have someone find them, or did you just plan on sleeping on the grass?" He asked lightly as he got out of the car and leaned forward to kiss Alex on the cheek. Actually rather glad to be back at the castle, if anything at least he could be affectionate here.

{{ "Ah, no. I didn't plan on sleeping on the grass," Alex chuckled as he walkes into the castle with him and grinned. He held Ezra's hand until about halfway to their room, where he ran into a servant. In very, very sloppy Vloskan, he asked her to bring a small basket of the food they wanted to their room. Turning back to Ezra and continuing to walk, he said, "Learning Vloskan is difficult, but I think I'm getting the hang of it." He loved Ezra's language. "I probably sound kind of dumb speaking Vloskan." }}

IC Ezra meanwhile, had found a different servant and ordered camping equipment to be ready for them outside soon. Then of course he heard Vloskan come out of Alex's mouth and he stood there, stunned for a few moments. "Dumb? No, quite the contrary. I don't think I have ever found you more attractive," he said, looking down and reddening a bit. There was just something about him speaking Ezra's native tongue that was undeniably attractive. Maybe it was that Alex was putting effort into learning it. Ezra really wasn't sure.

IC Maybe it was Vloskan. Maybe it was just a very attractive language. It did share quite a few properties as French. Ezra grinned back up at him in return before he spoke in Vloskan. Mostly just complimenting Alex. It flowed from his tongue far easier than any other language, that was for sure. Of course he had been taught to read many languages from a very early age, but he spoke Vloskan the most, and it was his first language, he kept it up for a minute or two before finally returning to English. "Maybe I should speak it more often then."

"I think I'd like that," he murmured before he kissed Ezra softly, arms around his waist. "You know, I'm so glad I met you. I don't know what I'd do without you. You're beautiful and amazing and so, so perfect. I love you." The servants knocked on the door with their food and sleeping bags ready. Giving Ezra one last kiss, he went to answer it, thanking them politely in Vloskan. He slung the sleeping bags over his shoulder, the picnic basket in one hand. "Let's go, my beautiful prince charming." He winked at Ezra. }}

"We should go," he agreed, walking back to the door and standing up taller to kiss him briefly, pulling back and smiling up at him. 'I love you so much," he told him before walking out. Debating if bringing Waffle would be a good idea, he liked getting out, but Ezra didn't know how he felt about leaving the horse up there where Ezra couldn't watch him.

IC "Walking it is," he agreed, carrying the picnic basket that had been brought to them. "It isn't too far anyways and a walk would be fun," he said and Ezra smiled slightly at the guards as he walked out, giving a quick word to tell them not to follow, he would prefer it if the guards didn't know about the place, and otherwise they wouldn't really get their alone time anyways.

Or the guards, since he'd probably go out of his way to annoy them just to get revenge. Right now, though, he wanted to focus on relaxing and enjoying his time with Ezra. The walk to the secret little hideout was nice and quiet as the sun went down, though it did grow quite cold, and when they finally reached it, there was barely any light left. "It's even more beautiful here at night," he said in awe, pitching up their tent and unrolling the sleeping bags. It was the perfect camping spot, that was for sure. Beautiful and scenic and almost...magical. He loved it. }}

IC Ezra had moved to the center of the clearing and placed the basket down, inhaling softly as he lied down on the grass to look up at the sky. One of the perks about this place was that it wasn't hard to see stars here, in fact it was very easy, the sky was littered with them. "I've only been here at night a few times. I often forget just how beautiful it is," he said, sitting up and giving a relaxed sigh as he looked over at Alex and padded the ground next to him.

He handed Ezra's plate to him and took his own, taking a bite of his waffles. Pointing up at the sky with his fork, he said, "See that little cluster of stars of there?

He was back at the castle, inside a small room with an even smaller bed. His head was pounding and he groaned, rolling over, because where was he? Then, it came back to him. He was in his room, in the castle, where his mentor let him stay. The previous night was a bit of a blur, though he thought maybe there had been too much partying involved. Alex slipped out of bed and stood up, stretching. He quickly dressed himself and walked out into the hallway to head to the kitchen for some breakfast, even though it was still early. Food might help his headache, at least.

Must have sat down and fallen asleep... Lou had a very odd feeling, though, deep in his stomach like something was wrong. He couldn't quite shake it off, even as he stood up and bruhed his pants off.

Not his favorite post, and actually he couldn't exactly remember how he got here, but he was there so he assumed that it was right of course. Actually all of last night was also a bit of a blur...maybe he passed out again? Well everything was beginning to come back to him so he figured there was nothing really wrong.

The first thing Ezra noticed when he woke up was the lack of warmth that Alex brought. The next was that he couldn't be sleeping on the ground in his spot outside, because he was on a bed. Not as comfortable as his normal bed but it certainly wasn't horrible. Finally he opened his eyes and kind of panicked. This was not his room-well, it was, it was his room. But it wasn't. However he forced himself to calm down and took in the most pressing question. Where was Alex? Right then someone knocked on his door and then a guy slipped in. He was in older, most likely servant robes and carrying a tray of food. "Good morning your highness, I didn't think you'd be awake this early, you usually sleep in longer."
Okay who was this guy? Ezra didn't know him. "Who are you?" He asked and the servant looked at him, confused as he placed the tray of food beside his bed, he looked like he wanted to say something, however he held back and chose something else.
"I'm Mathew, your man servant," he explained as if it was obvious and Ezra frowned.
Man servant? Old clothes? Room without his hoard of stuffed animals? No Alex in sight?...
What happened?

{{ Alex's head was pounding and aching as he walked to the kitchen, taking a sweet roll and a small loaf of bread to eat as he walked. Workiny in the castle wasn't too bad. He was paid well and he was given free food, so that was a bonus. He was also treated pretty well for a lower class citizen. Doctors were important, yes, and they were given more than fair treatment, but they certainly weren't royalty. Eating his small breakfast as he walked-----he wasn't too hungry at the moment-----and made his way up to one of the upper floors, where the prince's room and his mentor's room were located. His mentor, Dr. Salita, had a lovely room at the end of the hall, much better than Alex's dingy, damp closet-like room in the basement of the castle.
Alex looked almost the same, except he was dressed in loose brown trousers and a nice, flowing button-up shirt. His hair was cut shorter than before, neat and tidy under a fine hat, and he had just a little bit of stubble. He hadn't felt like shaving when he'd cleaned earlier.

Lou's clothes, he'd noted, were torn and ragged and like those of a peasant, even though he knew he wasn't one. Putting on his best sad, confused and distraught face, he came as close to Xavier as he dared to. "E-Excuse me, sir... I am...not from here," he said in a thick, heavily accented voice. It wasn't like his old Brooklyn accent at all. "I've gotten myself lost. I was supposed to meet with my boss, but I cannot find his shop." He was pulling out all his tricks for this, even crying a bit. }}
