[action - December 20th]

[imasapling.livejournal.com]

[Kaori was visiting the flower shop again, the same place Mithos had met her a few days ago. He had followed along, because it got boring at the house after a while even if a lot of people lived there. He liked being able to go different places without anyone getting mad at him. And he likes all the plants and flowers too, but he likes the snow better. He can see all the plants he wants to back at home. It doesn't snow much there.

So he wandered out of the shop, properly bundled up because as much as he thinks the snow is pretty, he doesn't really like being cold. He got enough of that on his first day here. He quietly kicks at the snow, watching it fly everywhere and settle back to the ground.]

[It's the day after Yuan's return from the draft and while he needed plenty of sleep to recuperate, he's ready to venture out into the village again. Being trapped underground for five days gave him a newfound appreciation for fresh air and sunlight.

He slows his walk once he picks up on a familiar mana signature. ... Mithos. Yuan should probably just turn the other way, but Kratos told him Mithos was walking on crutches, now. He has to make sure that wasn't just a fluke, caused by that ridiculous prediction experiment.

So he approaches the source of the mana signature, only to see...

... A young boy?]

[action - December 20th]

[imasapling.livejournal.com]

[He's occupied with jumping in the snow and seeing the footprints he leaves behind. He doesn't notice the strong presence of mana until it gets closer, and then he stands still in surprise. His sister taught him about mana and how everything in the world is made up of it, so he thought it was really weird that he couldn't feel it anywhere here. And he's never felt this much mana before. His eyes dart around curiously. He sees a man standing there, and he stares.

That must be most of the mana in the whole world, right? No wonder he couldn't feel it anywhere else in this village.]

[action - December 20th]

[fortunefail]

[That boy... He's incredibly young, but there's no mistaking it. That's Mithos. And he's staring right at Yuan. He's staring. Yuan can't think of anything to do but stare right back.]

[action - December 20th]

[imasapling.livejournal.com]

[...Oh, the man with all the mana is staring back. He looks down and fidgets nervously with the hem of his coat. Is he not supposed to be here? Nobody seemed to care when he was walking all around the village a few days ago...

But he notices something else about all that mana. It's not like all the elves from back home. It's not like his father's either, the only human he can compare it against.

It's more like his sister's.

His eyes shoot back up, and they're wide.] ...Are you...?

[Pen-pals, huh? And she's lucky enough to get a guy as her new friend! Guess it's time to put all the formal letter writing skills she learnt in class to practice!]

[In her neatest handwriting:]

Dear Yuan,

How are you today? The weather's kind of chilly, so I hope you've got enough clothes!

I'm Anise Tatlin, your new pen pal! ♥ I'm 13 years old, from Auldrant, and I'm studying in the Luceti school. I like to cook, so if you tell me where you live, I can bring some pastries over for you! [And take a good look at your living situation.]

So, tell me a bit about yourself! What do you look like? I don't think we've met before. And what's your financial situation? What are your hobbies? I want to know all about you!

It's pretty scary to be in Luceti for a poor young girl like me, so I hope we can be friends! You'll definitely protect me, won't you? ♥

Love,
Anise
Fon Master Guardian

[What the hell? Yuan had seen the rabbit's entry and he had ignored it. He had other things on his mind and was not about to be threatened by an animal wearing pants. What he was not expecting was for his penpal to track him down first.

When he replies, it's in exceptionally neat handwriting.]


Dear Anise,

Don't take this personally, but I did not sign up for this project. As such, I have no intention of participating. You should ask the rabbit to assign you a different penpal.

Regards,
Yuan.

[Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat?! No way she's going to let a maybe-future-husband escape from her just like that!]

Dear Yuan,

But this will be fun! Besides, we all need more friends in our lives!

Love,
Anise

[fortunefail]

Dear Anise,

I have no need for more friends and I assure you, you will have more fun corresponding with someone else.


Regards,
Yuan.

Dear Yuan,

But I'm having a lot of fun talking to you! Besides, everyone needs more friends. With an attitude like that, you probably don't have that many at all! Don't worry, you don't have to be so shy around me! ♥ Anise is here to bring out the sensitive, loving guy under your coldness!

Love,
Anise ♥

[sometime during the beachy weekend -- all the fruit and the sexings up in here]

[shiningbinds]

[It's a romantic setup, this hobbit hole, but not as over-the-top as that example picture--

The lip couch THING is scary, okay?

All right, time to be IC...]

[18th of February actually]

[fortunefail]

[And it's a continuation of this trainwreck here.

By the time the two reach the hobbit hole, the fruit's started to reach its full effect on Yuan. He's too horny to even be ashamed about the fact that he is feeling such a thing. ... No, why should he even be ashamed? There was always mild sexual tension and unspoken affection between Kratos and himself- or so his memories claim thanks to the experiment.

The moment they've entered, Yuan will make sure to lock the door and close all the curtains in a hurry.]

[18th of February]

[shiningbinds]

[He can't help but grin at that. It's small, though.]

Hm... you certainly aren't wasting any time. [Says the man who's currently sitting on the bed, removing his boots and gloves. The fruit is beginning to reach full effect with Kratos as well, and he completely approves of the things that only seem to show that Yuan is just as eager as he is to start.]

[18th of February]

[fortunefail]

[Removing his boots does seem like a sensible idea to Yuan as well, but it was already an endless walk to get here and he's far too eager for physical contact. Those boots can wait, because for now, he needs to do what he's been wanting to do for ages. That is, to stride up to Kratos, grab the side of his face with one hand and lean in for a kiss.]

[18th of February - not sure if this is the best icon to use. oh well.]

[shiningbinds]

[It feels more amazing than Kratos has ever imagined, somehow. He kisses back, already too excited for his own good. The fact that they're finally doing this, after so long, is a thrill of its own.]

[ action | April 6 ]

[wise_maiden]

[There's an experiment afoot, and it's been evident the entire week that memories are out of place.

It's an overcast day, and with the lack of school, Raine's spent some time doing other errands, popping in to a shop or two around the square during the afternoon. When she notices Yuan, he will get a small wave. It's been a while.]

[ action | April 6 ]

[fortunefail]

[Yuan's perfectly aware of the experiment as well, but he's finding it rather difficult to locate an actual pattern in the memory discrepancies. Knowing there's something wrong but being unable to determine the actual extent of it is incredibly unnerving to him, so he's taken to wandering around the village in the hopes he might catch some hints.

When he spots Raine, he gives her a curt nod in greeting before striding over to her. It has been a while, hasn't it?]

[ action | April 6 ]

[wise_maiden]

Hello, Yuan. [She nods once he draws closer.] ... How has this week been going for you?

[ action | April 6 ]

[fortunefail]

It's been... hectic. This experiment- or whatever it is, is just another reminder of how twisted life here can be.

[ action | April 6 ]

[wise_maiden]

Indeed. As if we needed the additional reminders. It's almost as if you can't speak to anyone without finding a conflict somewhere.

[Action/Whatever date's good with you!] Because bowlcut misses his 'dad'. :P

[the_tv_is_a_lie]

[Well, he'd already taken care of the little things at this point, so it wouldn't hurt to see if the people he recalls is still around. First up...the one who'd wound up as his dad, even for a brief week or so. He wasn't expecting someone he vaguely recalls talking to to come to mind first, but it seems...appropriate, for some reason.

Must be the long time he spent away from the joint talking. Anyway.

He'll be going around the town, trying to re-familiarize himself with its layout. Where is he going to run into you, Yuan? :|a]

[Action]

[fortunefail]

[Yuan's just returning to house #8 after taking a walk in the forest. Now that the weather's displaying all the trademarks of summer, he finds that it's a lot cooler out between the trees than it is inside the house. He could've stayed out there for a while longer if he hadn't gotten hungry. It's suppertime.

He hasn't noticed Souji just yet, instead just fumbling with his house keys.]

[Action]

[the_tv_is_a_lie]

[It must be dumb luck that he's passed by the road to Yuan's home, then; he'll stare for a moment, trying to draw out the few lingering memories of this place he has again, before trying to approach.

Surely he'd notice the footsteps going his way, and recognize the voice that follows. ...He hopes, anyway.]

...Hello? [That's as much as he can think of. What he can remember of him is too foggy; not to mention, he doubts that they ever introduced themselves the first time around.]

[Action]

[fortunefail]

[He'd noticed the human presence in the back of his mind and brushed it off as irrelevant. There are more than enough humans in the village, after all. It isn't until he realizes the footsteps are coming closer that he pauses in turning the key and glances over his shoulder.

He knows that voice. He knows that boy. Official introductions or not, he couldn't possibly forget the one who was his son in some twisted 'reality'. The question is, did Souji forget who he is, or is this approach more than just a happenstance?]

... Good afternoon.

[Action]

[the_tv_is_a_lie]

[It's hard for him to not see the recognition in his eyes. He still remembers after all this time...

Funny, how memories seem to resurface once one thing shows itself in front of a person. He smiles a little; this may well have been the one he'd recalled earlier.]

Time sure has a habit of flying away, doesn't it? [Casual, familiar, comfortable -- should be more of a signal that he still has a vague idea of who he is.]
