[Anyone passing by house #8 today will see an old man sitting in a nice wooden rocking chair, situated on the porch. He seems to be enjoying the weather. There may be clouds overhead, but it's still a nice temperature. His cane is leaning against the wall next to him. Anyone familiar with Yuan will recognize him, as it's hard to mistake that bright blue hair. It may have a few grey streaks, but aside from that it's barely changed.

Is he... sleeping? Sure looks like it. Then again, he may just be faking it.]


[[AU info can be found here, but it's not very elaborate or surprising.]]

[... is that who he thinks it is.]

[fortunefail]

[The rocking stops for a few seconds, before continuing as if nothing happened. Yuan doesn't move an inch aside from that. His eyes are still closed.

Dare you step closer, Zoisite?]

[nottanzanite.livejournal.com]

[... Sure, why not. It's only an old man, after all. He's nice to the elderly.]

[Usagi takes a double take when she spots Yuan. Colette did say he was old and wrinkly, but Usagi had no clue. She is going to hesitantly approach, probably with the intent to scare him.]

[fortunefail]

[What is it with Yuan and blondes? Either way, he isn't acknowledging Usagi's presence. He's just slowly rocking back and forth in his chair.]

[themoonuplifts.livejournal.com]

[She's coming close, lips pursed in concentration. He really is all wrinkly and gross.]

Hey. Hey, Yuan. When did you start showing your age?

[It isn't difficult for Jay to recognize the old man either as he passes by, and then just...stops.]

Yuan??

[fortunefail]

[He'll open his eyes to meet Jay's gaze, but to hell with it all if he has to get up from his comfy chair. He'll just shout across the lawn, then.]

Yes?!

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Don't tell me the experiment's gotten to you, too!

[Nuuuuuuu!!!]

[Hey, neighbor. Squalo's walking past when he spots Yuan. Madonna, that geezer is old! He can't tell if Yuan's sleeping...or if he's dead. It's none of his business, but curiosity gets the better of him. Squalo walks up to Yuan, intending to nudge him with the flat end of his sword.]

[fortunefail]

[As soon as Squalo comes within ten feet of Yuan, he'll open his eyes and immediately narrow them into a glare at the sight of that sword.]

You'd better put that thing away before you poke someone's eye out with it, kid.

[torrenziale.livejournal.com]

[Holy fucking hell! Squalo very nearly takes a step back when the "corpse" comes alive, but he doesn't...not really. He focuses on returning the glare. He's not so fond of being admonished.]

VOI! You say it like it'd be an accident, old man.

[lezareno_prez]

[Walking by and just... stopping and staring. Oh goddess, what IS that?]

[fortunefail]

[Still rocking in his chair, looking fairly peaceful. Dare you investigate, Regal?]

[lezareno_prez]

[Yep, she'll be coming a bit closer, and she'll be stepping on the lawn to do so.]

[salvationfound.livejournal.com]

[Good news: Your lawn isn't getting stepped on.

Bad news: There's a rather stressed out Kratos staring you down. He knows Yuan isn't asleep. And my god does this renew Kratos' resolve to never grow old. Physically.]

[fortunefail]

[Yuan knows Kratos is there. It's easy to tell from his mana signature. He also knows he's not fooling the man, which is why his eyes will flutter open after ten seconds or so. He'll meet Kratos' gaze with a clear expression of "What now?"]

[salvationfound.livejournal.com]

Why did you remove your Cruxis Crystal? [As that's really the only way they can actually look this old. Unless Yuan genuinely wanted to be this way and manipulated his age, but that doesn't seem as believable.]

[When did Luceti get such an old person? Karol wonders this as he stands on your lawn, Yuan!]

[fortunefail]

[You stupid kids and your lawn-standing! Why can't you just understand a man's lawn is private property? Yuan grabs his cane, shaking it at Karol.]

You! Brat! Get lost!

[rending-drop.livejournal.com]

[H-he's awake?! Geez, he's old... You can see his wrinkles moving... Karol's still just kinda staring.]

...icon fail

[orchidsandfire.livejournal.com]

[Look who else has decided to stare. But she's not stepping on his lawn! Just hovering over it curiously.]

Yuan? Is that you?

[fortunefail]

[Good girl. Yuan's going to feel silly for being so protective of his lawn when the experiment is over, but right now he's thankful at least someone understands boundaries.]

Who do you think it is?

[knightofratatosk]

['Sup Yuan, have an ancient summon spirit just walking across your lawn and not giving a damn.]

[Action]

[fortunefail]

[Damn him! But he knows he can't take Ratatosk on the way he is now and angering him would be bad, so he'll let it slide. Though, he is curious how Ratatosk got his original form back.]
