✧ 03 ✧ Burning glances, turning heads

[bonnypiperlad]

[The festival is a new experience for Jamie, and it would have likely brought him out even if he hadn't received the note. That just makes him more determined to go. He's even managed to get the idea that he should maybe dress up a wee bit, and is wearing a nice coat, ruffled shirt and a decorative baldric along with his usual great kilt. The mask he's gotten doesn't quite match, but he's resigned to having to have it on, at least for now - and the music notes on it aren't so bad.

It's a grand get together, to be sure, but his gaze keeps going over to the archways. And despite spending a good deal of time where there's food, he finds himself wandering closer and closer to that part of the square. Maybe a peek behind one of those curtains is in order...]

(( OOC: Jamie and Natsuo are going to explore curtain #1 thanks to the wonderful combination that is curiosity and boredom, but things are also open if people want to come chat or see about tagging along. Feel free to tease him about his kilt and get faces made at you in return. XD ))

[Natsuo spins around when he hears Xion scream. He spots Jamie, and while he doesn't scream, he does look pretty frightened. His eyes go wide and his ears flatten, tail curling around himself. He even unconsciously scoots a little closer to Xion.

Then, the initial shock wears off. He straightens up, and though he's still wide-eyed, he asks, curiously:]

How'd you do that?

[bonnypiperlad]

[He has no idea there isn't a face there at the moment, although he does feel a wee bit strange, and he can tell the lads are frightened. He goes to ask why...and realizes he can't talk. Even without any features to speak of, his body language is confused.

Jamie winds up turning his head slightly, enough to get a glimpse of himself in one of the shattered pieces of the mirror. Frantically, he goes to grab for it. It's large enough that he can see what's happened to his face, and he drops the piece of glass in horror. He gestures wildly to the others, but without a mouth there it's hard to tell what he wants. They may pick up that he's a bit frantic about the situation anyway.]

Wh-What? What... What is it?

[She doesn't know what to do. He -- What should she do?]

[painlessfighter]

[Well, Natsuo doesn't know what to do either, but the guy sure seems really upset about it! He finally notices that his own mask has become loose, and he pulls it off...

He would smirk at his faceless reflection, but it's hard to do that without a mouth.

He puts his mask back on, though, and nods at Xion. When he speaks, he's clearly way too calm about this.]

I think he wants his mask back. It has his face in it.

[Xion has gone very, very pale. She secures her mask so it definitely won't come off unless she makes it.]

I... O... Okay... I'll look...

[bonnypiperlad]

[Jamie is startled by that - which may or may not come across without a face - but then he nods, very firmly. Getting that back would be a good idea.

He starts to search around to see if he can figure out where it's gotten to. It's not that big of an area. Surely it'll turn up sooner rather than later.]

(( OOC: Up to you guys if one of you wants to find it before Jamie does! I'll go with whatever. :) ))

[painlessfighter]

[Natsuo glances to the area behind the mirrors, the others... the area, the others, the are, the others... and with a sigh, he goes to help look for the mask, too. It couldn't have gone far, right?]

((OoC: He won't find it, he's only really half-heartedly looking. ^^; Sorry. ))
