The Midnight Prince

[Shisou]

"I c-c-c-c-can. N-n-n-n-nothi-ing's w-w-w-r-wr-ong."

[Rokag]

"And you're STILL shit at lying." Rokag sagged against the door. "Look...can you at least tell me where Carbonne is hiding before you run off to wherever Indou is taking you to get these jewels and shit?"

[Shisou]

"I l-l-l-l-locked x-x-x-x-im in x-x-x-ir c-c-c-c-age."

[Rokag]

Didn't even know he HAD a cage. "Fine, then I'll wait for you here. Least until I can prove something's wrong."

[Shisou]

He ducks in, planting a kiss on her cheek. "G-g-g-goood g-g--g-girl," he says. "I-i'll b-b-b-b-ring y-y-y-y-ou s-s-s-s-somet-th-th-thing n-n-n-n-nice."

[Rokag]

Rokag tensed for a second, squeezing her hand into a fist. Just hearing him call her that made her want to punch Shisou right in the fucking throat. The slight cool air around her quickly came and then went as she realized exactly HOW close she'd been to hitting him. W..what the fuck was that? She shook her head. "Just....sure. Make sure you stay safe, alright?"

Once he was gone and she'd had a second to breath, she went about looking for this cage that Carbonne was supposed to be in. Something was DEFINITELY wrong and if she had to wring that little shiny lizards neck to get help for it, then so be it.

[GamesMaster]

It's not so much a cage as a tank, and it's not so much locked as there's a heavy pile of books on top of the lid so Carbonne can't push it open anymore, but Carbonne is trapped inside in Shisou's room in plain view, in xir disguise as a horned lizard. 

[Rokag]

Rokag removed the books from on top of the tank, opening it. "Well, if I wasn't fucking sure something was wrong with him before, I'm pretty sure now. Hey, you're a magic not-lizard, right?"

[GamesMaster]

"I am an elemental spirit trapped in a Carbuncle's body, yes," says Carbonne, grumbling a bit as xe climbs up out of the tank, up Rokag's arm, and onto her shoulder. 

[Rokag]

"Alright, so do you have some sort of magic way we can figure out what's wrong with Shisou? Cuz something is REALLY wrong and I don't know what to fucking do about it." Rokag moved to start pacing in the room. "I don't even have any idea what IS wrong with him."

[GamesMaster]

"I've been thinking about that," admits Carbonne. "I think it's a spell of some sort."

[Rokag]

"So probably from those same summoner guys." Rokag kept pacing. "Well, Shit, can't you just...unspell him?" She frowned at her situation. She wasn't able to...just get rid of it. Well, unless she thought stabbing Shisou with cold would help. "...I couldn't just stab him with magic and that get rid of it, right?" her voice was very dobtful about that working, but figured asking wouldn't hurt.

[GamesMaster]

"What? No! I don't have that kind of power and stabbing him is likely to kill him as it is to disenchant him. No, you need some kind of.... curse removal. Divine casters can do it."

[Rokag]

"I didn't fucking think it would, okay!" Rokag snapped back. "Look, he doesn't think anything is fucking wrong and if I ask him to just have some random person cast things on him he's gonna just tell me know or that I'm thinking too hard about it." She didn't know that for sure, but that was something she was worried would happen at this point. "Plus, he's working with Indou, so either he didn't notice something wrong, or he did and is just gonna use it to his advantage."

[GamesMaster]

"He's working with Indou? That's new," comments Carbonne. "Usually Indou is going on about how useless he is."
