[ Surely it just means they they're simply out of reach of those monsters, right? Void Archives has sort of taken notice, but, well, they don't sense any immediate danger, so they conclude that it's probably fine. ]
Ah, I am pretty good at playing those.
Though, of course, I shall not even give you a hint as to when will it necessarily end. You truly will simply have to keep your eyes peeled!
As you may know, I treasure many expressions from you. I wonder what kind of look you will grant me at that time. Oh, and of course, whatever kind of praise for my methodical planning~
[ As they say this, there is an indication that perhaps all is not completely quiet as it seems to be - the sound of the movement of something lightweighted. A bush, maybe? Or simply the innocent gust of wind?
How close is Jasper paying to his surroundings, by the by...? ]
Well, you know... should you succeed, turnabout is always fair play. Perhaps I ought to get the jump on you first...
[...speaking of getting the jump on, he is doing his damnedest to keep an eye out even as he's talking. Maybe not as much as he could, considering there aren't many monsters around, but at the same time there are probably still bears and stuff.]
Do you honestly believe that you would be able to beat myself to it? Hmm, while I expect to very much do your best to, ah, repay my actions in kind, I am uncertain if you would be able to jump ahead of my initial efforts~
[ Void Archives' tone does have a challenging edge to it. But, his eyes do twinkle with nothing less than veritable excitement, as does their sharp grin. That being said, they are not exactly unmindful of their surroundings, either.
Soon, it becomes obvious that there is something amiss.
The wind dies down, the bushes still, and not even a hint of wildlife stirs. It is if all has stopped except for the two of them - then, Void Archives seems to pause and take a look around. Off to the far right of Jasper's peripheral vision, something dark and indistinct flickers. Though, it may not matter - as, immediately afterwards, there is an odd, dissonant tune, that pokes and prods at their consciousness.
An overwhelming fatigue seems to wash over the both of them. Jasper can even absolutely tell the other blond collapses, completely unconscious. And soon, the same tune will bring him under, though he can certainly try to fight it with all of his might! ]
[Jasper is ready to flirt right back, but... something's wrong. He stops to...
...
Oh, something's wrong. He draws his swords and tries to see if he can at least keep himself awake, but it's not... working... He falls to his knees, looking over to Void to make sure they're at least... not harmed beyond that, and tries to use one sword to prop himself up to his knees so he can try and keep an eye out for any clues...?]
[ Void Archives doesn't move, like a puppet with its strings that have been cut off, but it doesn't seem that they've been injured greatly, even if it might be getting rather difficult to ascertain minute details in the surroundings given the entire...
Apparent debuff. Though, it is certainly more than that.
As for any other potential clues? That seem dissonant tune that keeps playing, and he can see as his vision begins to blur, that the flicker of darkness appears closer, and closer. A figure may be able to be glimpsed from it.
But, after that singular moment, it's lights out.
...
In the darkness, all that has been known becomes twisted. Their lives as they know it, erased, then reformed, from the ground up.
Jasper, a great Knight of almost unparalleled renown, known for championing many achievements across the land, one who many people extol for his accomplishments. Driving away villains, defending from cruel monsters.
That is the person he is. That is the person he always has been. His previous adventures on Earth? In Chicago? In those mindscapes? Of everyone he has met, and known? Gone, for the most part.
Some other knights are even jealous of his accolades.
As for Void Archives...
Well, that remains to be seen. After all, they are merely a servant of the castle. That is all that they have ever been. Though, they certainly wish that they can be more, they know better.
Coincidentally, this is one that is currently is knocking upon the door of the extravagant room Jasper sleeps in.

[...it is pretty quiet. Granted, there aren't any slimes drawing near as of yet...]
I would be disappointed if you were not playing the long game.

Hopefully he isn't a deeper sleeper. ]
