withamagicwordHe appears first as a speck in the sky, then the whistling begins as he hits the strange envelope that holds atmosphere around Milliways.
Over the lake, he falls, completely limp, falling with increasing speed as the gravity of the small asteroid's surface grabs him.
At some point, he wakes, and waking, flails, trying to see what is happening. Finally, he does manage to get turned to see where he is falling. By which time, the surface of the lake is very, very, near. Somehow, through wind, or magic, or something unknown, he shifts, sideways, and is falling towards ground. His eyes widen with horror and his mouth stretches wide to say the magic word, but nothing comes out and he grabs his throat as...
...with a sound like a bag of glass striking a brick wall, he hits a large outcropping of rock. Conciousness is driven from him yet again.
His body seems to totter there for a moment, and then, without a sound, rolls down the rock to the ground, to the snow, and slips into a snowbank.

"You were injured. I'm not very good at healing."

Date: 2006-01-04 12:57 am (UTC)Thank you! Very much. And I'm sorrry it drained you so bad.
That last sneaks in because he was just raised that way and feels badly when people go out of their way for him.
Can I help you somehow?
He shivers a little in his tatterred clothes, glancing around the snow that litters the grounds.

no subject
Date: 2006-01-04 01:06 am (UTC)I should checdk the Door too. I dont know how exactly I got here this time, or if the Door will be open for me.
He trudges towards the Bar. His head aches a little and he is cold... and terrified, but he stifles as much as he can and thinks hard at Garion.
When did it start to snow so badly?

Date: 2006-01-04 01:07 am (UTC)He nods to the bar.
"And we should get something hot into us."
no subject
Date: 2006-01-04 01:09 am (UTC)Hot sounds good!
He shivers again and wonders if his bag and room are still there. His mind is still whirling.
Do you know how long I have been gone, Milliways-time?

Date: 2006-01-04 01:18 am (UTC)"No idea."
no subject
Date: 2006-01-04 01:22 am (UTC)I hope it hasnt been long enough for my room to be taken.
He hops, or rather moves slowly, onto a barstool, looks at the Bar, then looks at Garion.
Do you think she can hear me if I lay a hand on her surface?
no subject
Date: 2006-01-04 01:35 am (UTC)"I'm sure. If I can hear you, she probably can."
no subject
Date: 2006-01-04 01:39 am (UTC)Um, Bar? Can I have a hot chocolate for me and a-He breaks off and looks to Garion. What would you like?
This thinking hard is kinda headachy and his mind is still trying to concentrate.
no subject
Date: 2006-01-04 01:40 am (UTC)"Hot chocolate for me as well."
He nods towards Billy.
"You don't have to think so hard. Just a bit of intent will do."
no subject
Date: 2006-01-05 07:14 pm (UTC)Cool.
He turns back to Bar.
-and a hot chocolate for Garion too?
Nothing happens and he sighs. then he gets an idea and from somwhere on his tatterred clothing findsda notepad and apen. he scribbles a message saying the same things as he had thought, then places it on the top of her.
The message sinks into her, then the drinks appear and he smiles in relief, and hands one to Garion.
He is scared and not sure what to do and certain that things are going bad back in his world. How long was he falling? What happenned back at the Rock? And how could he find out? He glanced at the front wall and his fear was ruled right on as he saw the Door was gone. Again, he tried to groan only to have nothing come out and one hand stole to his throat. What happened to his voice?
