001 ( video | action )

[Cain finds himself arriving at the Plaza, his expensive suit and top hat completely drenched. He finds a device close to him, and randomly punches some buttons and shakes it until he gets a video going. This is a technology unknown to him, so he believes he's talking to some kind of mirror thing. Plus, he's rather cranky from being wet and in an unknown place. He will just say random stuff to the mirror, and then end the feed.]

Good evening, Cain. You are looking terrible tonight. You should try to find a way home. [You can see him looking around.]

Or a place to stay, I do not know what this city is...

[You hear him sigh, and then he turns off the feed.]

OOC: Feel free to answer his video or to bump into him in the plaza.

I do not understand it either, but that is how they run their businesses here.

...it can be very strange, and yet, it is not all bad either, from what I have seen.

[The people here were good. Even the ones who still hated him, they had every reason to, so he didn't mind.]

I see... Well, I would be glad to be able to get them... [Shrugs.]

Not all bad? I see... How long have you been here, Riff?

[That made him pause, he hadn't been fully aware until recently..]

My guess is about three months, my lord.

Your guess? Are you not aware of the time you have spent here?

I...I apologize, it's complicated, my lord.

...I was not myself upon my arrival here.

Do you mean you were Riffael then? [He is glad Riff can't see him right now.]

[He flinches. So Cain did know.]

...yes, my lord.

[He does know, Riff. Unfortunately, and his heart is broken.]

Why do you bother to still call me 'my lord'? I was never your real master...

[And that hurts more than anything he's suffered here.]

You always have and always will be my master, lord Cain.

No matter what Riffael thinks or says, I, Riff, belong to you.

[Oh God, Riff don't say these things. Cain already has a very troubled and broken heart. He's not sure he can take much more.]

I... How can I believe you? You lied to me... Y-You made me thing you actually cared... I trusted you, more than anyone...

[He wants nothing more than to fix everything that had been done, everything Riffael broke, but he knows it's not that simple.]

Lord Cain....I never lied to you. I never would. I...I did not know of Riffeal, if I had, I would never have endangered you as I have.

You are the one person who matters most to me, my lord, and that will never change...even if you were to never speak to me again, I would still care for you. I only exist to protect you.

[He sighs, silent tears running down his face. He still doesn't understand well the device, so he hopes Riff can't see him crying.]

How can I believe you, Riff? When I realized you belonged to father... it hurt...

[Luckily for Cain, he can't, but he does get a feeling he can't place. He could always tell when his lord was upset.]

I...understand why you may not trust me again, my lord.

[And, god, did that thought hurt.]

...but...my lord, your father is not here...and I no more belong to him than anyone else here.

[He wants to trust you, Riff, he really wants to.]

My father... Not here? Are you sure?

Edited 2012-11-02 04:39 (UTC)

That I am absolutely sure of. These devices store a list that allows one to see all of the people pulled here.

Neither your father nor the doctor are here.

However, neither is miss Mary.

[Probably for the best, considering.]

[He ponders this information. He will make sure to learn how to use the device to make sure Riff is not lying to him.]

I see... Will Mary be alone in the real world?

It is said that things in our world will not change while we are not in them.

That is most strange, as I am here... So it is possible to go back, then?

It is...but not of our choosing, we go back when this place sees fit.

[There's more he needs to say....but he can't. He's happier answering Cain's questions.]

[He sighs.]

That is quite inconvenient...

Indeed.

[There wasn't really a better time or way to bring it up...]

My lord...there is something I must warn you of, as it is certain to come up at some point.

[He sighs. This doesn't sound good...]

What is it, Riff?

[He sighs, wishing he could put this off.]

As I said....when I arrived here, I was not myself. Riffael, he...he did some really terrible things...I don't really know why. My only guess is that he thought he could gain something.

He killed three people and tortured five others.

It might not have been me...but it was my hands, and that is why I am not there to greet you myself. It was seen as best that I be kept under house arrest as death here is not permanent and there is no justice system.

I...[What else? What else was there? What else could he say?]

I'm very sorry, my lord Cain.

[Cain is silent. He frankly does not know what to say. Is Riffael the real one, or is it Riff? Will he try to kill Cain too?]

A-And you want me to trust you? Even knowing that?

Edited 2012-11-10 07:02 (UTC)

[He put his face in his hands, though he knew Cain couldn't see.]

I don't know.

No, I suppose not. Perhaps it is better if you don't.

I would rather die than hurt you, my lord.
