[After being flung into countless numbers of trees from the third party's traps during the last draft, Ion swore to himself he'd never climb another tree for as long as he lived. Obviously, he didn't count on finding a baby bird having fallen out of its nest when he made that declaration. And with the mother bird calling for her child overhead, Ion couldn't just leave the poor thing there to die.]

[Thankfully, getting to the top of the tree where the nest was had been surprisingly easy! Getting down... not so much. He didn't notice the lower branch breaking until after he stepped off of it, and now that he was on his way down, he found himself stuck. He wasn't too high up, but this particular tree had quite a few thorn bushes around it. He'd been able to avoid them going up for the most part, but if he were to try jumping, the chance of him falling into one of these bushes was rather high. He wasn't too far off the path, just a ways north of the village, so hopefully someone will spot him.]

[Though, in restrospect, today was probably a bad day to wear green.]

[Assuming the princess is eventually rescued, Ion will be spending the remainder of the day at the library in search of a few new books to read before eventually returning home, his clothes still looking a bit worse for wear.]



[[ooc: Feel free to break time and space for the first part, or run into him walking towards the library looking... well, like he fell out of a tree.]]

[As it just so happens, Momo managed to get out this morning without their noticing. So before Sokka takes care of his boatly duties, he's out looking for Momo. Toph is usually better at this, given her special earthbending awesome, so he's convinced her to have him look around.]

You know what, he probably already went back. We should just go back.

He's probably hiding in a bush eating berries or something. He'll go back home when he runs out of food to eat. Or something bigger comes along to eat him instead.

[So reassuring, isn't she? But she doesn't hear or feel him nearby, so...]

[Just when Ion was afraid he'd have to jump down himself... voices! And familiar ones at that!]

Sokka? Master Toph?

[...well, he's not going to forget the title. That would be rude.]

[ Sorry, she thought the princess was in another tree.

If it's the library Ion's at, then Vorona's already beaten him to the punch. She's sitting at a table, surrounded by stacks of books (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3240/3292430415_c5b318a59e.jpg) arranged neatly before her. Currently, she's leafing through a rather large looking specimen at a speed that has her turning the page at an average of once every five seconds. But her speed-reading doesn't prevent her from looking up at the young boy when he passes, giving him a brief glance over before returning to her reading. ]

There is the presence of a twig in your hair, if you find it necessary to remove it.

[That is a lot of books. She doesn't seem to be working here... maybe she's researching something?

[He almost shoots out an apology for staring when she looks up, but her comment throws him off.]

...a twig? [Aaand pulling it out now.] Oh, I must have missed this one. Thank you.

[ She only nods as a welcome, not looking up from her reading... . . And then she's done with the book... picking up the next... ]

Tree climbing, for most, may be seen as a recreational activity, a temporary setback, or a flight of fancy. [ She starts rambling off, matter-of-factly, as she picks up a rather light looking booklet similar to a magazine. ] For a figure of your physique, it might be best recommended to use the addition of a rope, harness, and a helmet for safety. Otherwise, very dangerous.

[It's times like this that having someone who flies around the village on a broom for fun really comes in handy. Arche floats on by the tree Ion's in, looking like she's gonna bypass him... then double takes.

She slowly turns around.]

... Do you need a hand?

[Action]

[distressedude]

[...h-how is she doing that.]

If it isn't too much trouble. I didn't realize getting back down would pose such a problem...

[Action]

[skyborne-mage.livejournal.com]

[She's a witch! Burn her!]

I can see that. Well, I've carried a lot heavier people than you on this thing. Climb on.

[She brings her broom up next to the branch Ion's on.]

[The things going for a walk will get you into these days.]

Do I need to ask what you are doing up there?

Nephry! [Oh, he's glad to see you here! ...even if it means she'll learn of his fail.]

There was a baby bird that fell out of its nest. I got stuck up here trying to help it.

[Luke hadn't been in the village very much thanks to spending nearly all of his time with Xion in the clinic. He's here now, though, though not for long. He was planning on going back to the apartment and visit with Asch, just to talk...

And that's when he spots the slightly different shade of green from a tree. Curious, Luke looks up - ]

... Ion?

[Action]

[distressedude]

Luke! [He brightens up a bit.] Thank goodness you saw me. I was afraid you were going to just walk by...

[Dist was just on his way to the library actually, to return the books he took out and perhaps get some new ones. He was just passing the tree Ion is in when he glances up lazily for a second, then keeps going...for about two feet or so. Dist stops on a dime, does a quick double take, and scuttles back over to the tree, looking up in shock and a mixture of confusion.

Ion, wut r u doin up thar. :|]

Wha--Fon Master?!

[dsdkfsd WAIT DIST DON'T WALK AWA- oh, he stopped.]

Dist, thank goodness. I was beginning to think no one would see me up here.

[It's Uncle. In a nonexistent lifetime, anyway. In the process of putting a book back into a shelf, Hubert catches sight of Ion and ends up staring for a few seconds too long. Had something happened?

He turns back to the shelf in front of him. It's none of his business, and it'd be strange to ask after what they'd undergone in that experiment. But . . . perhaps Ion was hurt --

Then he wouldn't be in the library. Hmmm.]

[ action ]

[distressedude]

[Hubert may have turned away, but Ion caught him staring. He didn't have another twig in his hair, did he? He was sure he'd gotten them all... of course, his hair was still a bit more fluffed than usual and his clothes were looking a bit snagged in places from walking through the thorn bushes. The only reason he stood out was likely because of how careful he usually was about his appearance. But regardless, it would have been pointless to go all the way home when all he planned to do was pick up a few books.]

[And though they may not have spoken since that last experiment, it seemed rude not to say something. After all, based on what Ion can recall from that life, he was rather fond of him.]

Hello, Hubert.

[Looking up at the tree Ion's stuck in. Blending in with the leaves means nothing to someone who can just feel that there's a difference.]

What're you doing up there?

[distressedude]

[Oh! Someone came by after all... say, isn't this the person who tried to eat him during Halloween?]

I climbed up here to help a bird back into its nest after it fell, but the lower branches broke. And I haven't been able to find a way down.

[Well, Ororo was just flying past. Decreasing in altitude as she approached the village, too, so she can see the odd rustling about in that particular tree.]

[Curious, she lands carefully just next to it, before looking back up to further examine -]

[- is that a little girl stuck up there?]

Are you stuck, little one?

[distressedude]

[...little girl...]


Yes. The branches broke when I was climbing up and I haven't found a way to get down safely...

[Seeing as last time he met Mewtwo he was a Mew, Ion... has no idea who that is. But maybe they can help him!]

Hello?

[Emil can't help but notice that Ion looks, well... rather rumpled as he passes him on the path that afternoon. So, naturally, he's going to wonder just what's up, because Ion usually looks so dignified and put together.]

Hey, are you all right?

[Action]

[distressedude]

[It takes Ion a moment to realize Emil had spoken up. Aside from his clothes looking roughed up, he also looked a bit tired. Perhaps a bit pale as well, but that wasn't too out of the ordinary for him.]

Oh, hello Emil. [But he'll smile regardless.] Yes, I'm all right. I just had a bit of an incident while climbing a tree earlier.
