Third Shard [Action]

Once upon a time...

There was a prince who was locked in a tower. His kingdom had been conquered by a dark king who was known for his ravenous greed, and he sealed off the prince from his people whom he loved. Alone and desperate, the prince was overwhelmed by sorrow until a miracle appeared. A swan had come to his window, and her feathers concealed letters from the people he missed so dearly. Day after day, the swan returned, bringing him more words of hope and well wishes from his people. These letters helped to rebuild the prince's heart, and he started to have hope again. One day, the swan decided to fulfill that hope. She lent him her wings, and with them he soared to freedom. The wings wore down as he reached land, and the prince was free to lead his people again. It was only then that he realized that by giving up her wings, the swan had trapped herself in his place. She was never seen again, and with that, all of the happiness that the prince had found began to crumble away.

In fact, it is said that this prince never smiled again...

[Today, Mytho's wandering around town has something closer resembling meaning to it. Sure, he doesn't live near enough Duck to immediately notice her absence - nor does he come across her path on a daily basis. But he's still searching for her, without stopping. He goes around various locales around the town such as the library, the bakery, the fountain and most places around the plaza. And throughout his search, he specifically looks sad. He had felt that heart shard return to him the previous night, and that emotion - the emotion of sorrow - has been weighing on him ever since.

He will often stop passerby to ask them:]


Excuse me. Have you... seen Duck?

[Or, he may instead ask.]

Do you know... where Tutu is?

[Everyone knows Duck and Tutu, right? But all along, in a way, he knows. They're both gone. He's been able to feel it, ever since he woke up. He's not sure why both Duck and Tutu are associated with his feeling... He just knows that it feels like a piece of his heart is gone.

The search is over when night falls. He sits at the edge of the fountain, wallowing in this sorrow. And wishing he had the strength to try to dance.]

[Emil is just on his way back from work when he spots Mytho wandering around looking... sad? That's a new one, especially knowing what he does about Mytho's lack of emotions due to his lost heart.]

Duck? I haven't seen her since I talked to her when she first arrived. Do you need her for something?

[Is that all. Rue reaches for his hand automatically.]

I'm sure she's just not in her usual place. Why are you looking for Duck at all?

... I haven't seen anyone like that.

[Not that he can recall, anyway. With the amount of people in Luceti's village, it's easy to miss someone.]

It's common to feel sad when a friend goes home. Are you gonna be okay?

[personal profile] ex_tessen852 2013-09-03 04:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Why is that?

[personal profile] ex_tessen852 2013-09-03 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. [She remembers now.] Those are some painful emotions. How are you holding up?
untrueheart: (nevermore)

[His hand is like ice. Rue takes the book from his other, so she can hold them both together between hers.]

Tutu? What about her?
godbent: (Angel Beats's finale sucked)

[personal profile] godbent 2013-09-03 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you have your journal?

[She says this abruptly, but also goes to get her purse]
untrueheart: (lost in thought)

[personal profile] untrueheart 2013-09-04 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
[The title of the book catches her attention only because the word 'duck' is in it.]

That isn't any feeling you might usually have. Where would either of them go?
knightofratatosk: (Smile)

[personal profile] knightofratatosk 2013-09-04 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
We could try sending her a message over the journals. Maybe she's just off doing something right now and forgot to tell anyone where she went. She did seem like a kind of absent-minded girl...

[And he reaches down into his bag, fishing around for his journal.]
untrueheart: (at the edge)

Well, a story is where Tutu belongs, isn't it?

[At school. When Mytho says school, he means Gold Crown Academy. That didn't make sense, Duck - and Tutu - was here. She had to be, or how would he ever regain his heart?]

As terrible as it is, I don't think the two of you can be separated.
knightofratatosk: (Downcast)

[personal profile] knightofratatosk 2013-09-04 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Meanwhile, Emil is getting the journal out and setting it up so that he can write a filtered message to Duck... only to have the filter break on him as he tries it.

Well. There's only one thing that can mean.]


... I'm sorry, Mytho. Duck is... she's not in Luceti anymore.
