one of many possible futures.

You are a hidden meaning made to defy. The grasp of words, and walk away with free will. As living, revolutionary clay.

Sorry for my absence! I should be getting to replies by this weekend!

“…oh. Well, that is certainly easier…”

Ah, but the only friend Retasu really had there was Ichigo, who was decidedly not a boy. Maybe that was fine…?

“Like a birthday? So, gifts and maybe cake…? Yes, that I can do!”

She bows gratefully, a smile on her face.

“Thank you very much!”

Seeing her expression light up causes his to reflect it. He’s so happy to hear that even in this afterlife, she has someone like that. It gives him a moment of pause, to think of people he might have celebrated with. He hopes they’re doing fine. Perhaps he’d pester Jade and Princess Natalia later.

“...it was no trouble at all. Please give them my regards.”

[retasutanets]

“National Boyfriend Day…?”

“Ah, um, g-good thing I don’t have to worry about that… I wouldn’t know what to do to celebrate…”

[daathicae]

“The general consensus seems to be appreciation of someone close to you. I imagine it wouldn’t be much different from how you’d treat a best friend on their birthday--” he doesn’t know much about it himself outside of hearsay, but it seemed harmless enough.  “If you’d like to participate, maybe tell a friend what they mean to you?” Normally Ion wasn’t so forward that he’d give unwarranted advice out to strangers, but now that his position was forfeit...he was left with no one to assist.

“Of course I do,” he seemed to have taken it as a complement. That, or he was too busy complimenting himself in his own head to notice the surprise in Ion’s question.

“Besides, Jade’s a good boy. He looks after himself.”

That response...it made sense in the context of Dist’s character, but not so much in the context of reality. Ion smiles tightly, trying to hide his natural reaction. A fist curls to stifle laughter--part of him really wishes Jade were here to witness this. Ion is certain he’d have some entertaining retort.

“Y-You’re right...the Colonel certainly is capable of that...” Ion clutches the Daathic Staff to his chest, “Your perspective on Jade is always very insightful.”

[daathicae]

“It’s pretty interesting seeing everyone interact under a government style that doesn’t resemble monarchy. I can’t say I’ve seen any others put into practice outside of books!”

[manyoushu]

@daathicae liked for a starter!

 Asking Orochi is definitely out of the question, trying to find his most treasured sword would wind up only with antagonistic comments that may be loud enough to eventually pass by ear to Lord Takumi himself. 

 In this situation, strangers (people who had no clue what his katana even looks like) were the only trustworthy ones. The odds were in his favor however, since this island had an endless supply of them. One that even seemed to have some sort of divination tool himself,”Say you wouldn’t be able to tell me where my sword is with that thing would ya?”

 “Or at least tell me if I find it soon,”

[daathicae]

Ion had been in the midst of collecting herbs that day--he’d met an older woman that was willing to pay him to do errands for her, and this was among them. She didn’t expect things post-haste which was...convenient given he didn’t have a reliable form of transportation.  The question comes when the ‘divination’ tool at hand--just his empty staff now, hardly able to focus the Seventh Fonon--is looped with a heavy bag of ginger root,  Calendula, Yarrow, and a number of other strongly scented plant bits. Ion blinks, taking a moment to realize just what this stranger was referring to.  If Hinata had asked him in Auldrant, Ion might have been able to help or direct him to someone with more expertise. He chews on the inside of his cheek, trying to hide dismay at his own uselessness. 

“...what kind of sword was it? I’m afraid if it’s anything magic, you may be forced to wait.”

Lotus was surprised when Ion asked to visit the beach together. He wasn’t used to anyone wanting to hang around him except a select few in this place he’d met. And even that much was odd…

So when Ion actually looked happy he decided to show up… well, that made Lotus happy too. He even brought such a lovely set up… It made for a captivating image, a peaceful day under the umbrellas with the sun beating down at the sea.

“Hi, Ion… Yes, you’re right. But this is the only beach I’ve been to before. I never got to see one in my world, ah—I’ve become really fond of this place…”

Lotus was absolutely not dressed for the occasion. He was still wearing his tattered old military coat he always wore, which was not great for the beach. Besides not having more clothes, he wasn’t even sure what was proper… besides swimwear, but there was no way that was happening.

“First time seeing the beach… Isn’t it unlike anything else? The sand is really warm, and… the breeze feels good… you can see the water for miles…” The spirit blinked then, seeing the large book—it was probably brought for a reason, right? “What’s that for?”

Ion’s enthusiasm toward the event is a bit alien, even to him. He’s more accustomed to maintaining an unruffled demeanor, rarely expressing anything that could come off as childish. The original Fon Master himself had been good at doing such, and Ion often wondered if that in part caused his deep resentment. Ion himself...just blended into it, as he’d been trained to do. But here, here he was going to try and live for the both of them. “I guess we’re the same. I think I’ll grow fond of this place, too.” Ion takes in Lotus’ outfit, wondering why he seemed so overdressed. Did he not own a swimsuit? Was he not going to swim? Surely that dark color would make the day warmer than it needed to be...he bites his lip, perplexed. But then he’s talking again, and Ion is relieved for the change of pace. Before Ion can reply about Lotus’ description of the beach, he’s asking about the dusty old tome. “Oh--I wasn’t sure what you liked to do best on the beach...and I happened upon this.” he proceeds to open the book, flipping through pages until a map unfolded. It indicated coastline, a few distinct caves, and an even more prominent X. The Island’s name banded the top in elegant lettering. “Not sure if there’s really treasure here, but it could be fun to look.”

[doctorgneiss]

“Ahahahaha!… It sounds like there’s a lot of sour grapes out, right now. Not everyone can be as charming as myself to land a partner though, that’s only natural.”

[daathicae]

This is probably not the time to include his commentary. Dist wasn’t exactly the most intimidating of the Generals at first glance, but Ion knew better than to underestimate him. He could cause a fair bit of destruction if left unchecked, and Ion hardly had the capability to stop him. Still...

“...you had time to support a partner?” he’s kind of curious now!

     ❝ It seems that the seasons are changing once more! I am quite looking forward to the approach of October and finally celebrating that strange holiday… ❞

[daathicae]

It’s time for Ion to state the obvious!

“Strange Holiday? If this ‘October’ is soon...is it some kind of harvest holiday?”

“Weak, strong… doesn’t matter if you’re unlucky.”

[daathicae]

The words stung. Ion hesitates at first, making his presence known before speaking up. This boy...he sounded just like Sync. Clutching his chest, Ion’s voice is soft.  “While that’s true...it doesn’t mean those that are unlucky are doomed to be unhappy forever.”  He’s right though--ultimately strength didn’t matter in the end.
