Personal Log #5 - Action

[Spock gasped into consciousness and trembled at the biting cold. It took him a moment to realize that he was no longer on a metal, unforgiving examination table... but instead laying down in what felt like... snow. Fascinating.

His senses were completely off. The current date and time eluded him due to the number of occasions he had overcome to unconsciousness in the Malnosso's care...

Normally mental orientation would not be a problem...

...However, his current state of blindness left much to be desired.

He slowly stood, categorizing his physical condition, and found that his body was not cooperating as it should... he had to lean against a tree to retain balance. He ached all over. The Malnosso appeared curious towards his Vulcan physiology.... and went to great lengths to discover what they could. Spock shivered again as he recalled what they did to him. They had started with his fingers... running tests that involved pain tolerance and sense range.

They left the brain for last. Spock was successful in keeping them out of his Katra, a mental landscape containing his links...protecting what stability and bonds that he had left after his planet's devastation. However, it was his efforts in the end that now left him blind. In their enthusiasm, the Malnosso did not realize the extent of Vulcan stubbornness, so when threatening him with his eyesight did not work... they soon lost interest.

That left him in his current state.

Concentration was... difficult at the moment. There was too much pain. His Katra called out in an attempt to help him, but he did not know how successful that was. In the interim, Spock assumed that he was back in Luceti and started to walk forward... sensing the trees around him to use them for support.
He hoped someone would find him soon... He was without his uniform, and left once again in only a pair of pants. This cold was quickly becoming too much for his Vulcan biology to withstand.]

[Feel free to meet Spock wandering, blind, and cold. He's out in the woods currently, but he'll eventually make it somewhere near the village. Enjoy~]

[With the winter as it is Zevran has given up on hunting with any manner of regularity. He does, however, need to find and pack up most of the traps he has yet left in the woods as snow becomes a regular occurrence. He is making the rounds in the outer edges of the woods when he sees something irregular- tracks. Not from an animal, no, but the odd stumbling steps of a man wounded or ill. He follows these with caution until he comes across-]

Spock?

[He certainly does not look well.]

Spock!

[Spock physically jumps when he hears his name called... And it takes him a moment to place the voice.]

M-mister Zevran?

[Spock leans heavily on the tree in relief. This proves that he is indeed in Luceti.]

Just Zevran. Zev, even, if you are feeling particularly familiar.

[He shrugs out of his coat on the way over to Spock's side.]

What is it about the Malnosso and dumping people in the wilderness? I trust that is the case.

[Spock stares at nothing... but keeps his face lowered just in case.]

You are correct in your assumption...

As for location... I would not begin to assume. [Spock shivered....]
What is the current date and time?

...We're in Luceti. Can you not see? It is...I think what they call the fifteenth day of this month, December. Just a little after dawn.

[He goes ahead and tucks the coat around Spock, trying to tug his hands into the sleeves without being overly forceful about it.]

[Eley could quite often be found wandering the forest, so it isn't that unusual for him to find those who are walking through the trees themselves. He wasn't finding the cold particularly inviting himself actually, but he was nowhere near in such a state as Spock was when the Spirit found him. He seemed to be confused... walking as if blind. Not only that but his clothes had been stripped from him. This wasn't the weather to be wandering around with no protection from the elements.

Eley approached him, sending a breeze to nip at his ear to signal his presence and hopefully avoid startling him too much.]

Spock? What has happened to you?

[He is meditating when he senses it- the familiar Vulcan mechanical mind, straining to impose its logic upon confusion, hope, and physical pain.

That, he decides, cannot be good. Quickly, he fetches his robe- and an extra cloak just in case- and heads toward the presence.]

"Spock?"

[ normally, buffy summers does her level best to ignore spock. too weird, she figures, to push her friendship on an alien who couldn't remember her. but she'd made a promise to a dashing ex-boyfriend of a captain and she intends to keep her word.

so -- on the village outskirts (as buffy finishes up a round of ice-skating on the rink jack had cobbled together) she catches sight of the vulcan and, unaware of his condition, attempts to chase him down. ]

Hey! You! Ears-guy!

[Aang is wandering throughout the snowy forest when he sees a familiar face. It's clear something's wrong, but Aang's not sure what. He tries to wave.]

Hey, Spock! Over here!

[Spock adjusts the coat around him... allowing himself to be maneuvered into the garment. He is pliant for the most part...]

Two weeks then...

I...I am without sight... Are you amenable to assisting me home?

[Spock is still mildly startled at the sudden presence... his senses are not cooperating as they usually would, so anyone could sneak up on him at this point.

However, he recognizes the voice and quickly settles.]

Eleytheria... It would seem that the Malnosso saw fit to return me at this time. [Spock leans heavily on the tree and shivers for a multitude of reasons.]

Where am I? [His voice is weak and vulnerable...and he hates it.]

[Luke had portents of Spock's return as well, the Force telling him that the Vulcan would need his help, so the Jedi headed for the forest, a spare robe for his friend and a pack of emergency supplies. When he found his friend he rushed over]

Spock?

[Spock is startled at the sudden presence, and he leans heavily against the tree...

Though he is finally able to connect the voice...]

Mister Kenobi? [Spock stares at nothing... keeping his head down..]

Where am I and what is the current date?

[Spock jumps at the sound of his name... scrambling to keep his balance on a nearby tree...

He does not recognize the voice...]

Who are you? Where am I? [Spock does his best to keep his voice from shaking... however, his current condition leave much to be desired....]

"You are in the forest near the village, and it is the fifteenth of December by the local calendar."

[Without another word on the subject, he drapes his extra cloak over Spock.]

"It's not too far, are you alright?"

[ ...she falters. ]

You're lost? [ after slotting her skate's blade-guards into place, she slung them over her shoulder and crossed her arms over her chest. ] I wasn't aware you could get lost. Getting lost doesn't sound very...logical.

[Spock jumps and bumps into the tree at the sound of his name... the snow and the trees makes the noise reverberate, making it difficult to pinpoint the source.
He swivels his head but he does recognize the voice....]

Mister Aang? W-where are you?

Two weeks then....[Spock jumps when he feels the garment fall over his shoulders... as he could not see to expect it.]

I am... less than optimal. I cannot see...

The Malnosso were rather... enthusiastic in their experiments. I also seem to have less than optimal physical control... would you be amenable to assisting me to my residence? [That was Vulcan for 'I'm weak and vulnerable... help a bro out?]

[Spock jumps at the sound and falls heavily on the tree...

But he recognizes the voice, and that sends a wave of calm through his mind.]

Luke? [The fact that he used the Jedi's first name spoke volumes to his condition.]

W-where am I? What is the current date and time?

[Spock shivered...]

Indeed not... however, considering you are aware of who I am, I can safely assume that I have returned to Luceti?
I would normally not have difficulty orienting myself... however, the Malnosso have left me blind from their experimentation.

I will ask you again... who are you?

[ blind. never a pleasant prospect. and the sight of all that shivering.

the woman sighs. ]

Buffy. Buffy Summers. And I don't need you to be able to see me to understand that you don't...[ remember me. ] Look. You're probably freezing. How about we find you a warm corner to settle into. Somewhere a little less...flurry-y.

It's right around 11 in the morning, on December the 15th. And you're in the forest.

What's the matter?

[Spock is silent for a moment....Then nods..] It is well to make your acquaintance Miss Summers... though can I safely assume that you and I had previously met?
There have been individuals who have informed me that I was in Luceti before.

[Spock leans forward from the tree...]

I...I may need to be guided. [Spock hesitantly raises an arm... his hand reaching into blackness. For someone who knows Vulcans, they know that this gesture is highly irregular.]

The....Malnosso were rather... enthusiastic in their experimentation.

It has left me blind unfortunately. This factor has made mental orientation difficult since losing consciousness.

[Spock shivered...] Would you be amenable to leading me to my home?

Edited 2012-12-15 17:45 (UTC)

Met? [ she asks -- lightly -- and wonders just how much she was safe to divulge. ] Previously. Sure.

[ buffy warily eyes up the lifted limb. it isn't as though she's shy; after all, she'd lived in close quarters with the vulcan for long enough. but that only ever intimated to her that such a request is a rare one.

but she steps closer and hooks her arm around his with a comradely solidity. ]

...Was it a kidnapping?
