[i'm not crazy, i'm just a little unwell]
WHO: Major Lilywhite
WHERE: The fountain, around the village
WHEN: July 23, then July 24th - the end of the month
OPEN TO: OTA; specific thread for Ravi.
WARNINGS: N/A
[Arrival - July 23, Early Evening]
The first thing Major notices when he breaks through the surface of the water is the sudden rush of air in his lungs, making his brain vibrate and buzz in his skull. It's a feeling he hasn't experienced since .. well, since he was last human. Does that mean that he's no longer a ... ? Huh. Will have to come back to that one later.
The instinct to survive, gather his bearings, figure out his sudden location change override any inkling he has to focus on the very human sensations he's experiencing. He crawls his way out of the fountain, tumbling up and over the edge of it, rolling onto the ground. On his back, he catches his breath and stares up at the sky overhead for a few seconds before the feeling of the fabric clinging to his body finally sizzles a few nerves in his fingers, and he realizes he isn't wearing the henley he remembers wearing, nor is he wearing the jeans he'd had on. Instead, he's wearing a .. very vibrant pair of magenta .. well, for lack of a better word, scrubs, and there's something digging its way into his back.
He sits up, loosening the straps of the strange pack he has on to take a look at it before deciding to get out of the open and somewhere sheltered. No weapons, no bullet-proof vests .. no hungering for brains. There's that weird buzzing in the back of his skull again.
He gets himself up, slips the pack back onto his shoulder, and begins to wander around the town.
[From July 24th to the End of the Month]
Major's memorized the layout of the town; it isn't all that large, and from his preliminary investigations, it also seems like there isn't a clear way out of the place. He's mostly stuck to the outskirts, having found some shelter in what appears to be an abandoned cabin somewhat near the river's edge (he thinks it's a river, anyway). He takes the subsequent days after his arrival to do more exploring of the village, this time venturing closer to the heart of it, as well as exploring the river to what he thinks is the southeast of his new "home."
He eventually finds himself wandering into the Inn at the center of town, intent on interacting with and asking the others any of the question he hasn't already gotten answers to.

That was a question no one ever asked her before. The power was desired by others, but there was a part of her that felt suffocated by it all. Though there was also a sense of safety, family looking after her. Giovanni would not have been so easily disposed of without her father's position.
"I love my family, but the position and power can be exhausting." She slightly shrugged her shoulders. "I am expected to marry for the good of my family and to offer them alliances and protection."

But the thought of Vaughn du Clark and all that transpired with him before he'd wound up here leaves a bitter taste in his mouth, and he'd rather not deal with it now.
"That's .. quite the burden, I'd imagine. Do you .. want to do that? Or do you just kinda .. accept it? Since it's what's expected of you?"

"I married the man my father chose, but he broke the alliance my father hoped for. He...unkind. The marriage was put to an end and I have a bit of peace." A pause. "Had a bit of peace." Here at least, she didn't have to marry anyone. "I think that once I return home, I will have more choice."

"Certainly you are not as bad as they are?" She offered, granting him the chance to return to some kind of levity.
