[Akiela, like everyone else, has been afflicted with a status ailment.  In this case?  Confusion.  What makes her a little bit different is that somehow she's managed to tie her hands behind her back with what looks like a t-shirt.  Don't mind her ambling around the circle on the 1F now as she wobbles from side to side, hitting walls and bystanders and such.

Also don't mind the fact that she's... kind of doing laps.  Really, she just keeps following the path of the circle and sighing every once in a while.]

I suppose it's fortunate that I can't find the cafeteria.  I probably wouldn't be able to keep anything in my stomach.

Why not? [Tilts his head to the side like the birdie he is.]

[vanadiel-knight.livejournal.com]

[Don't mind her spinning on the spot, trying to find out who's talking and nearly tripping over the railing into the water below.]

Aah... because the world has decided it should rotate a little faster than normal.

[fierybluebird]

Ah? [Catches her with wide eyes.]

Are you okay??? Dizzy or something??

[vanadiel-knight.livejournal.com]

[She's quite grateful for the catch, honest.]

No, yes and... well answering that is redundant. Is there a reason you're speaking so quickly?

[fierybluebird]

I'm doing everything quickly. Apparently.

[vanadiel-knight.livejournal.com]

Oh. That's nice. [She's slightly lost track of this conversation already. It doesn't help that she can't focus on anything.]

But really, everything? That must be inconvenient.

[fierybluebird]

Yes. Well. Kitten is kind of mad at me so it's not like...

[Coughs and at least she'll be easy to change subject on.] It has weird effects on flying though, eh.

[vanadiel-knight.livejournal.com]

[Indeed, she moves right onto that new topic without falter.]

You've tried flying? That must be nice. Though I've always wondered about bugs.

[fierybluebird]

What about bugs?

[vanadiel-knight.livejournal.com]

Well what if one gets in your eye or you accidentally eat them? Though I've heard stories of people doing so in the jungles... actually, I'm going to stop thinking about that now. I feel mildly queasy.

[fierybluebird]

I won't tell you about how I got protein in the wild when I was a kid then, eh.

[vanadiel-knight.livejournal.com]

I shall pretend you ate tofu and drank coffee. [A pause.] ... I think I'm going to be ill.

[fierybluebird]

From discussing eating habits or from the dizzy? [Looks worried either way.]

[vanadiel-knight.livejournal.com]

I'd dare say a bit of both, really. So if I turn a bit green, I would suggest you take a step back.

[fierybluebird]

Do you want to lie down? Maybe have some soup?

[vanadiel-knight.livejournal.com]

That is probably the best course of action. I had originally been planning to go to the cafeteria to try and eat something without it coming back up but I had forgotten that I'm currently unable to locate the floor, much less the proper path to my destination.

[fierybluebird]

Well, I could lead you there if you think you're stable to walk.

[vanadiel-knight.livejournal.com]

I can manage and I would appreciate that. Thank you.

[fierybluebird]

[Offers an elbow for her to hold onto.] Come on, eh.

[vanadiel-knight.livejournal.com]

[Would thank you for that offer if A: she noticed it and B: her arms weren't still tied behind her back~]

I'll be right... uhm... somewhat, right behind you.

[fierybluebird]

[Blinks and cautiously takes one of the arms, testing how tied it is.] Eh??

[vanadiel-knight.livejournal.com]

"Eh?" [Blinks, then remembers her current state.]

Oh. I suppose this requires an explanation, doesn't it?

[fierybluebird]

Yes. Yes it does.

[vanadiel-knight.livejournal.com]

[Akiela laughs sheepishly.] Ever since this onset of dizziness, I've had these urges to... hit people. A lot.

I had a thought that if I padded my hands, it wouldn't hurt so much. But somehow it ended up like this...

[fierybluebird]

All right. You can hit me. I don't think you can eat all tied up anyway. [Undoes the ties.]

[vanadiel-knight.livejournal.com]

Given a choice, I'd rather hit myself. My apologies for the trouble.

[fierybluebird]

No trouble, but don't hit yourself. You can't really hurt me, so at least I can handle it. Phoenix, remember? [Offers an arm again.]

[vanadiel-knight.livejournal.com]

[Misses it on the first attempt but does manage to grab it on the second try, curling her fingers lightly around Marco's arm, just above his elbow.]

Regardless, I'd rather not hit my friends unless they've done something to deserve it.

[fierybluebird]

Oh, I do things to deserve it all the time, I just don't always flaunt that it's me, eh.

[vanadiel-knight.livejournal.com]

Care to divulge some of these secrets so I'll feel less guilty when the time comes?

[fierybluebird]

Nope. If you guess them I may or may not own up.

How are things with Gakupo these days anyway?

[vanadiel-knight.livejournal.com]

Cheater. [Have a blink.]

Gakupo? Well enough, I suppose. We haven't had any cause for disagreement, certainly.

[fierybluebird]

Pirate.

... Huh. All right then.

[vanadiel-knight.livejournal.com]

[She has to laugh at the excuse but wonders a little and his inquiry. It seems so... oddly misplaced. Then again, this is Marco. So she'll keep her curiosity to herself and just follow him.

And whack herself in the face with her palm.] Ow-!

[fierybluebird]

[Takes hands.] I'm just going to hold onto these for now, eh.

[vanadiel-knight.livejournal.com]

[She gives a little sigh.] Sorry. ... and thank you. By the way, why the sudden inquiry? [Or she can just blurt it out like that.]

[fierybluebird]

I'm easily curious. I think it's my bird nature.

[vanadiel-knight.livejournal.com]

There must be a reason for your curiosity.

[fierybluebird]

What makes you so certain of that?

[vanadiel-knight.livejournal.com]

It seems odd, that's all. [Were she in a better frame of mind, she'd mention it's odd that you asked about Gakupo of all people, but she isn't and right now just walking straight is a task in itself.]

[fierybluebird]

Maybe I just saw something after you were doused with water balloons. [Quiet hum.] Here. Sit still. What do you want for food?

[vanadiel-knight.livejournal.com]

Plain fare would be best, please. [She pauses at that. Did she talk to Marco after being soaked by balloons? No, she's certain she only saw and spoke with Gakupo. Maybe he saw her as they were walking back to her room? There's something wrong here and she can't quite figure it out.]

Ah, belatedly, sorry to be a problem.

[fierybluebird]

Again, don't worry about it. You're not a problem, eh. You're a friend.

[Goes off and returns with plain food yay~]

[vanadiel-knight.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you. [Although, she's apologized for being a nuisance already, right? Oops. She contemplates this as Marco leaves and returns with food.]

[fierybluebird]

No problem. [Slides over the tray.] How's this? Anything you don't want? Something you want more of?
