"Do you live far away?" He questions, still unaware that his tail was showing. Well, Kuro wasn’t used to hiding it so it was understandable. He looked around the area again for a moment, inching himself closer to Amato since he was obviously a bit scared of their surroundings. He just hoped he wasn’t being a pest.

[arsmagicacasus]

"Not really," Amato assured him, figuring he should just ignore the tail for now. It didn't seem like such a big deal to him, anyways. "When we get closer, though, try not to stray too far. It's not the...nicest place to be." It sucked that the best place he could get was in a shitty part of town.

[arsmagicacasus]

"Achoo!"

Sniffs. "...I think my allergies are acting up again..."

[illusionaryscale-blog]

Finally managing a smile, Kuro walked slightly closer to Amato, basically his sign of “I trust you so I’m going to be closer.” He clutched onto his bear and tilted his head. “Mr. Bear likes you.” He states, beginning to sway his tail. Well, guess his disguise slipped.

[arsmagicacasus]

A slight smile appeared on his face when he noticed Kuro's actions, glad that he wasn't managing to scare the kid somehow. That happened sometimes. Though... Wait, was that a tail? "...?" Amato blinked and stared for a moment, not sure what to say about that. Well... Aside from the fact that he probably couldn't say anything about it, considering himself. If he was a magi, then what's to say that there aren't other kinds of people out there? "He does? Well, I'm glad I've got Mr. Bear's approval."

[illusionaryscale-blog]

He nods to his requests, walking close to Amato. He blinked as he stopped, but sighed as he introduced himself. “My name is Kuro.” he looks to his bear for a moment. “And this is Mr. Bear..” Yeah, he did just introduce his stuffed animal.

[arsmagicacasus]

It was actually kind of cute, that he had introduced both himself and his toy. "It's nice to meet you both," Amato said with a small nod, his hands slipping into his pockets. He wasn't sure what else to say, though... It was rare that he actually got to interact with kids. At least it was nowadays.

[illusionaryscale-blog]

He’s just quietly wishing the stranger luck, because chances are he doesn’t even know about the stuff going on at all. Staying with him in a safe place however, seemed like a good idea. “Okay..” He muttered, giving a slight tilt of his head. Maybe if he looked hard enough he could find a portal back home, or maybe by dumb luck, Zanryu was in the same situation and probably sleeping on a bench somewhere…or chasing someone around.

[arsmagicacasus]

"Alrighty then. Come on, before it gets any later." Amato stood up straight at that, turning to lead the way out of the alley. He paused for only a moment, to make sure that the kid was following him. "...My name's Amato, by the way. What's yours?"

[illusionaryscale-blog]

"No." He answers quite simply. Oh boy, he was feeling the urge to cry. Kuro was always a big cry baby.. He frowned as he looked up at the older male again, though on closer inspection..Kuro felt like he seen him somewhere. "You look like Big Kuro, but you’re not him. Big Kuro went home to the future." He muttered. Well, he looked like his older counterpart? That was enough to convince Kuro to actually get closer to the other and stare up at him a bit more.

[arsmagicacasus]

Poor kid. Though Amato was confused by the talk about 'Big Kuro', he felt more sympathy for the kid than anything else. "Ah..." Well, whoever that person was... He was going to guess it was a person the kid trusted. Amato knelt down in front of the kid, so that he was more eye-level with him than if he was standing. "Well, you could probably stay at my apartment until we can figure out a way to get home?"

[illusionaryscale-blog]

Get him home? Yeah right, Kuro didn’t even know where he was. Another mental curse towards Zurich for putting him in this situation. He supposed talking to this stranger wouldn’t hurt to much. “I..don’t live here.” He says quietly, clutching the stuffed bear in his hand. He probably doesn’t know how he’s going to explain where he lived or how his home wasn’t even in this world.

[arsmagicacasus]

Well, at least the kid was willing to talk to him? It was something, at least. "What about a safe place to stay, then? I guess you don't have that around here?" That would be a bit of a problem... Amato wasn't sure if the kid would be willing to go to his apartment. Stranger danger and all that. He would need to find someone the kid actually trusted. If they were in town, at least.

[illusionaryscale-blog]

He just looks up to the older male in confusion. Dangerous? How was a non-war torn place like this dangerous? Sadly, thats all Kuro grew up around, wars, deaths..in this world it was actually not that bad. Still though, he should listen to someone warning him, but he didn’t really have a place to go. 

He gave a frustrated frown, silently cursing Zurich for putting him in this situation again. He looked back up at the older male, giving him a rather distrusting look for a moment. If it was dangerous, would he be able to trust him? Who knows. He did seem different from the other people though.

[arsmagicacasus]

He recognized that look the kid gave him. It was a familiar look, especially considering how frequently he gambled in those very backalleys. And Amato couldn't really blame the kid for not trusting him, with all things considered... "Come on, let's at least get you back out onto the main streets. Maybe help you get home?"

[illusionaryscale-blog]

The young dragon managed to get himself lost again, thanks to Zurich being an idiot and messing up with the portal locations again. Kuro’s been having bad luck lately. Holding his stuffed bear with one hand, he placed his free hand on his head as he contemplated what was going on with these people. 

[arsmagicacasus]

Amato was pretty focused on the game he was playing with the other males, keeping an eye on his fortunes. It was pretty cool that he was allowed a cup of water at the table; Made it easier to use his powers, since he had something to focus on. But... "...Huh..." He wasn't going to win this next round. Or...the rest of the night? "I think I'm going to go home now. I've won enough." The teen gathered up his winnings as he spoke, turning and leaving...

And spotting a kid standing not too far away, just a few yards from where the game was happening. What was a little kid doing in an alley like this? "Hey... Kid, you shouldn't be back here," Amato warned him. "It's dangerous."

"Idiot... Really, who throws that much money into the pot without being sure you're going to win." Too bad, it's his money now.

[arsmagicacasus]

"I'm just saying... If you're not willing to part with your money, maybe you shouldn't gamble." Goddammit Amato, stop being a hypocrite.

[arescetetflorebit-blog]

"Then don’t tell others to do watch where they’re going if you won’t. Spreading hypocrisy isn’t a good decision." This guy was really one to get on someone’s nerves, it seems. "I tried side stepping, but it seems like you favor bumping into people."

[arsmagicacasus]

"Too bad I'm not known for my 'good decisions'." Unfortunately, Amato was in a bit of a mood that day. "Either that, or you're just bad at sidestepping. You're the only person I've run into today."

[arescetetflorebit-blog]

"I was, maybe you should give it a shot," Lucus replied with a chastising tone.

[arsmagicacasus]

"I don't have to if I don't want to," was all Amato had to say to that, his voice nonchalant. "Not my fault you ran into me."

[arsmagicacasus]

"Dude, watch where you're going." Totally ignoring the fact that he was the one spacing out.

[malevolentqueen-archive]

send my muse one of these:

"I hope you’re happy."

"I can’t believe you talked me in to this."

"I have an idea…"

"What the hell did you do?"

"Did you do this?"

"You look better in that than I did."

"Is it supposed to do that?"

"I’m pretty sure I like you."

"I’m pretty sure I don’t like you."

"How do I do this?"

"Why are you taking so long?"

"Have you seen my pants?"

"Was it something I said?"

"Can you zip me up?"

"I love yooo-ur hair."

Mix Up | Closed RP

[numbandfrozen]

☾✾☽“Another week?!” She exclaimed, the pen crackling as frost built up and traveled to the very tip. Her eyes widened at the sight and she emitted a gasp. She bit on her lower lip, afraid that he might see what she had done. She had to stay calm, despite her circumstances, she would figure out a way around this. Maybe it was time she told Amato who she was, then he would take this seriously and perhaps he would deliver the message himself. Oh, but what if he was one of the many animals that traveled in the night and he was just trying to act normal around her?

Her thoughts spiraled as she tried to come up with a plan. “Can they make exceptions?” Certainly if they read the mail after some persuasion, they would see it was urgent. Then again, anyone could be lying about who they were just to get special treatment. A sigh escaped past her lips but then her eyes lit up, she never used one before but she was aware of what a phone was or could do.

“Do you have a phone that I could use?” She swiftly pulled out a drawer and tucked the frosted pen into it so that it couldn’t be seen. There was no point in finishing the letter. All she had written so far was,

Your Majesty,

There was a mix up that occurred during the process of sending me away. I am currently at a man’s house named Amato, who has shown my the kindness of a night at his place. Unfortunately, the streets are infested with rabid people at night and you had insisted I don’t travel in the day. Please, fath

That was where the note had ended.  

[arsmagicacasus]

Obviously, she didn't like the idea of it taking another week. "Pretty much, yeah. They take care of literally everyone's mail; It's going to take time for it to get processed and sent off." He sat down on the couch (like a normal person), reaching over to grab his small card box. He had taken it off when he had gone to sleep, mostly so he didn't roll on top of it.

Of course, it never went any farther than that, if he could help it.

"We could pay more for faster shipping, but the postal system is honestly pretty shitty," Amato admitted. "They get you to pay thirty bucks for next day shipping, and you find out it took four days to get there." Next day his ass.

He rolled his head back so he could look back at El, shrugging some. "Who doesn't? There's a landline on the counter next to you." Why she didn't ask for a phone straight off, though, he had no idea. Must be old-fashioned.
