[ At first, the only noticeable thing about the feed is the fact it's focused on the collar of a shirt. Normal, yes. Except for the bright stain of blood soaking it a rather sharp red. The view widens just a bit, most of Charley's face and upper body now visible. He's rubbing at his mouth with the back of his hand, trying to make himself look presentable. ]

Hello, er— [ He looks around, hesitating before looking at something in his other hand. The letter and everything else he was handed sans the bracelet. ] I've been told I'll be staying in some house named Sigyn. I suppose I could find my own way around, but it would be easier if I had a guide...

This entire situation seems rather, um, tedious anyhow. Despite what this paper says- [ And he reads part of it aloud, "chosen by the gods?" ] -I find it difficult to believe much of it. I thought there was only one. Even if some sort of magic is involved, the rest of it doesn't make sense.

[ A pause. ]

But I'm sure anyone who is watching this has heard this before; I can't be the first one to arrive here. In fact, if anyone is listening, I could use some information not listed in this...brochure. [ He doesn't really know what else to call it, and he's back to rubbing at the dried blood on his mouth and what's on his throat, too. ]

If anyone knows a man by the name of Johnny, could you tell him Charley is looking for him? He also answers to Rayflo. It's very important that I find him. [ Because the situation he was left in before he showed up here isn't a good one, and it makes him anxious. He frowns, and the video ends with an abrupt: ] Thanks, I guess.

[ He has to take a deep breath, steady himself for this. The second time he's gone out into sunlight for Chris's sake, but this time he doesn't have any contacts or UV Cut. Damn. This is risky.

But he's not about to back down, and he takes one more breath before pushing through the doors. Damn, that's bright, even if the sun isn't at its peak. Johnny looks around quickly before spotting Cherry. A short little wave before he narrows his eyes and runs to him. ]

[ He doesn't know what to expect. With such vague answers, Charley is looking around him for anything that resembles a clue as to what he's doing--he looks up (no, he wouldn't dare jump), he looks down, he looks behind him just to make sure. There's nothing. But then, the doors open, and there's a mass of moving blankets heading straight for him.

Blankets with Master wrapped inside them.

Charley quickly - why isn't he moving fast enough? - scrambles for the map to look at it, locate the nearest form of shelter that could possibly let them in without turning them away. He doesn't want a repeat of Master's carelessness ending up in a pile of sand and a very vulnerable bat; he doesn't have a coffin here. He meets him half way and grabs what he assumes is his elbow. ]

This is the worst idea you've ever had, Master! [ Not too much reprimanding. He's running now. With him in tow. ] Come on!

[ He pulls the blankets closer around himself, glad that he's not naked, at least. His shoes will protect his feet, probably, and it's only the bottoms of his slacks that aren't covered in blanket. Ideally, it'll just be his ankles and possibly his nose that get a little sunburnt, but who knows?

Regardless, he laughs a little, letting Chris guide him as he pulls the blankets further over his face. ]

Can you blame me for being impatient? We haven't had a moment alone together in so long! Besides, this is kind of exciting, isn't it?

[ Just a tease there, and he grins a little to his his concern. ] How much farther is it?

[ He doesn't think stopping to chat with him will do any good at this point. Charley doesn't want to risk Master's safety by doing that, and even if the sun isn't particularly strong right now... He shakes his head and pulls on him to go faster. It's probably not much farther, but with the terrible map he'd been given, judging distances was hard. ]

This is stupid. It's not exciting at all!! [ And he's going to yell at him again. But hey. He can sort of see a building in the distance; that gives him hope. ]

It's there. Please hurry.

Aw, but it feels like forever since we've done anything like this!

[ There's probably a very good reason for that, though, and he laughs again. It's true, though - the last time they did anything for fun was so long ago, it seems. This probably isn't the time to think about it, though. Not when it's still dangerous, and he pushes himself a little faster. ]

C'mon, Cherry! Don't make me race you.
