[ Betraying the heavy mood of the City, the center of town is relatively quiet. Only the soft patter of foot steps here and there and the murmuring of hushed voices reach the air, but if anyone was to pay attention, they might notice a orange-yellow orb making a low course across the sky. An orb that's heading for a direct target-- which just happens to be a certain [livejournal.com profile] shiningdown. Ironic, isn't it? And the orb dips, gaining speed as it begins to fall toward earth, the light peeling back to reveal a young man with look of death (or at least shock) across his face. Finally he reaches his target, colliding directly into the woman, and in turn knocking them both into the fountain. There's a rather loud splash, as there obviously would be. ]

Oh, Mother! Mother, I've gotten you all wet!

[ absolutely furious splashing, like someone's just flailed her arms in exasperation...which Yvaine has ] Mother? Who's 'Mother'? Ow, would you get off of me already? ... [some more indignant splashing]

You are my mother! [he still hasn't gotten off her yet, probably too caught up in the moment to realize that he just might be heavy.] See, I've got this candle- I've got the candle you gave me, and I thought of you just like I was supposed to...then suddenly I was here!

[ a long pause........silence.....maybe just the sound of the fountain ] I'm as much your mother as you are a genius. Weren't you listening? I said, move! [the sound of...well she's trying to push him over now, not really caring if she tips him right over back into the fountain next to her or not because...he Isn't Listening fff ]

[ he lands beside her with another splash, choking on a gulp of water in the same motion.] But this candle is- [a fit of coughs] ...this candle should have taken me to my mother! Unless-- [ there's a stunned look on his face, his mouth half agape and eyes wide as he focuses them on Yvaine. ]

...I was thinking of my mother, and then Victoria popped in my head -- the star! I was thinking of the star! Then why- then why am I here in a fountain? On top of a woman! There's no star around here! Is this ruddy candle broken or something?

[ equally stunned silence but not of astonishment...unless you count astonishment by what Yvaine considers the closest personification of the word idiocy she's ever been so unfortunate to encounter ] ...of course. It had nothing to do with you not being able to follow simple directions. [sarcasm, would you like some more? because there IS more...lots]

You're unnecessarily cruel, you know that?

Only if you've earned it!

How have I earned it? I haven't done anything to you!

Well it has been suggested to me...

...Not the eleventh of any name?

[identity profile] gazingup.livejournal.com 2009-09-14 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
...Not that I'm aware of?

[identity profile] gazingup.livejournal.com 2009-09-14 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
No.

Is it somewhere in Europe? America? The East Indies?

[identity profile] treadingdawn.livejournal.com 2009-09-14 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
You're from Earth then.

...Ireland? England?

[identity profile] gazingup.livejournal.com 2009-09-14 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
...Of course I'm from Earth. Where else would I come from? The Moon?

England.

.........

[Small squeak goes here.]

I apologize, Tristan. I think I need a moment...to think.

I hope your father has been good to you.

Alright.

2/3 cas can hear this if he wants. >_>; since he knows shit about working the communicator

[identity profile] gazingup.livejournal.com 2009-09-14 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
He doesn't...

He doesn't seem too happy with this information. Though I suppose he never intended on having me in the first place. If he's ... confused- unhappy it makes sense, perhaps.

baaaaaaaaaaaw Tristan

[identity profile] treadingdawn.livejournal.com 2009-09-14 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
That's good. Everyone deserves a loving father.

I have never been to Earth...but I have always wanted to visit.

You'll make a good father, really-

...Never been to earth? You've never been to earth? You said you went over the Wall once, but ... you never said- But I- I see you every day!

[...That means a lot more than you might think it means, Tristan.]

[identity profile] treadingdawn.livejournal.com 2009-09-14 07:21 am (UTC)(link)
My people came through a chasm if that means anything...and my friends came through the Wardrobe...and they all left through a door in the air.

[ He would be happy to know that, even when he finds out the truth. Because he still wears the face of his father, albeit his younger features, and that's enough for him to care. ]

Those ... are all really strange entrances. Though I guess even a wall is too, when you think about it. Any sort of entrance to another world is enough to call strange.

[a pause]

I've never been over it, of course. At least- Unless ... Unless I'm over it now. [another pause, trying to find his words] No one knows much about what's over there, but from what I've heard- from you my father - it's a place that you could call magical. All sorts of fantastic things exist there. Things you'd never imagine you'd see, except in storybooks, of course.

You must be over a wall because this is not Earth, and it isn't Narnia either.

[His own pause because though Caspian is sure he is no father, they sure sound like they could be related.]

[identity profile] treadingdawn.livejournal.com 2009-09-14 07:43 am (UTC)(link)
Are you sure you are not the eleventh of any name? Not a Caspian XI? I am Caspian, tenth of that name, and my world is full of many things most people believe are fantastic. It wasn't always like that, but it is now, indefinitely.

...I have a cousin on Earth who may not ever see the things I have seen.

No one comes from the moon. What are you thinking?

[identity profile] gazingup.livejournal.com 2009-09-14 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
What are you thinking?

[identity profile] shiningdown.livejournal.com 2009-09-14 07:39 am (UTC)(link)
I think you're a moron and wouldn't know a star if you fell on her.

[identity profile] gazingup.livejournal.com 2009-09-14 08:23 am (UTC)(link)
I think I'd know if I fell on a piece of celestial rock.

[identity profile] shiningdown.livejournal.com 2009-09-14 09:02 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps, but not, obviously if you fell on a star.
