005 [Action] Another Nightmare

Estelle had been quietly kidnapped by droids just as everyone had started to regain their memories. She had been gone for several days now, and finally has returned. She's standing in the middle of the square, near the fountain. She looks to be herself at first glance. However, if anyone were to take a closer look, or knows her for that matter, she would seem a little... off.

The girl is standing there... just... standing there. Her eyes seem empty with a vacant expression. As if she's just staring into nothingness. Strange.

Those that approach her may gain no response or a nasty surprise.

((OOC: Estelle has been brainwashed! She's essentially a lifeless doll that will react very little.

Note: If anyone tries to touch her she may react violently, so be prepared for that. Think of it as Colette's condition when she was lifeless in ToS. She will be like this for nearly three days before going back to normal.

Feel free to approach or attempt to gain a reaction.))

[Oh no... No no no! How could this happen? There's no Apatheia, no aer, no Dein Nomos or anything even remotely close... Can the Malnosso really replicate a state like this even without all those things?]

Estelle... Ah... We should go see Rita. Will you come see Rita with me? [And she takes a few steps back, to see if Estelle will follow.]

[Nope, sorry Patty, Estelle isn't following.]

[Hm... She takes a few steps forward again. Then, carefully, she reaches out to take Estelle's hand. It's done with a kind of apprehension, because with no one to control Estelle while she's like this, it's hard to tell how she'll react.]

[Patty has every right to be wary, for when she touches her hand, she recoils by pulling it back. ... Then it lashes forwards again as if to try and slap the girl across the face.]

Whoah! [Luckily, Patty managed to jump back just in time. It was a close call, though. Will Estelle pursue?]

[Nope. The distance seems to be enough and she just stands there once again.]

[Well, this isn't good. She needs to get Rita to fix this, but she forgot to bring her journal so she can't exactly contact the mage. The only thing she can do is run back home to find her. It means leaving Estelle unguarded, but... What else can she do?]

You stay here, all right? I'm going to get Rita, so... Don't move! I'll be back as soon as I can!

[Estelle doesn't move as Patty runs off. However, by the time she returns, she will find that the princess is no longer there.]
