SENT TO: Takumi SENT FROM: Tohsaka Rin

They’re super dependable, don’t worry. 

Oh, right, didn’t exactly tell you where I ended up…there’s a flying city way above the clouds here, didn’t you know? 

In any other situation I’d be taking in the sights, but that’s kind of hard to do when we’re constantly being attacked. Maybe I’ll send you pictures later of what it looks like since apparently…we aren’t usually allowed up here. So, yeah, ‘up here’.

Giant birds, huh….looks like you’ve got your own problems to deal with. 

Well, you’ve got a weapon, don’t you? If not, then you better make one quick. Wouldn’t wanna get picked off for food.

SENT TO: Tohsaka Rin SENT FROM: Takumi

good. im glad. i mean it increases your chances of survival

floating city huh? sounds like a dream. im stuck on a mountain, i forgot to mention that earlier

make a weapon?? thats easy for you to say, when youre not here! there are no trees around, its just rocks, and from where im standing right now, you can see the base of the mountain, thats about it

oh yeah did i mention its freezing down here too?? its basically impossible to sleep out here, what with the countless creatures crawling around and the weather!

birds i can handle just fine, its that... other thing im worried about

SENT TO: Takumi SENT FROM: Tohsaka Rin

Hmmm…I wouldn’t say that I’m cozy, but when you’ve got a beautiful android and dashing prince taking care of you, you wouldn’t be complaining much either.

Are you jealous? I bet you wish that you were me right now!

What creatures are you dealing with? I’m kind of curious as to what exactly’s lurking….down there compared to up here. We don’t have much, well, actually, mythril golems are dangerous…

SENT TO: Tohsaka Rin SENT FROM: Takumi

a prince?? whatever

beauty and charm mean little in these kinds of situation so for your sake i hope they are as strong as you say!

up here? wait what do you mean? youre dealing with golems?? id rather deal with them than whatever these creatures are

there are giant birds flying around, and theres something else, i dont know what it is, it’s just as huge though, no even larger in size,

and this is only around the summit so im not exactly sure what awaits me further on in

i really hate this

SENT TO: Takumi SENT FROM: Tohsaka Rin

Surviving is easy, I do it all the time! This isn’t going to be a problem. You had better be the one to not die, since there’s no way I can come help you!

Where’d you end up, anyway? Hopefully not somewhere with ghosts then you’ll definitely be the one to die!

SENT TO: Tohsaka Rin SENT FROM: Takumi

shut up! i’m not scared of ghosts! or anything for that matter!

you wouldnt last a second where i ended up! that loud mouth of yours would get you killed

since you actually have the time to contact me, you must be pretty cozy right now

meanwhile ive got all these creatures to deal with

SENT TO: Takumi ( @fuujinya ) SENT FROM: Tohsaka Rin

Hey…Takumi-kun! Our little date is going to have to wait until further notice. I don’t know if you’ve noticed yet, but we’re all in a little bit of a bind and don’t know when it’ll be over. 

SENT TO: Tohsaka Rin SENT FROM: Takumi

youre kidding right?? may be you should focus on surviving instead of bothering me at a time like this

anyway that dumb pact we made wont be any good if youre dead!

[fuujinya]

hi! sorry if i missed it somewhere but what exactly is your stance on shipping kamui with their siblings?

While I don’t mention this specifically in my guidelines, I do state that I don’t like any of Takumi’s S supports ( Kamui/Corrin included ), which I feel is enough. In regards to Kamui/Corrin however, I don’t ship them with any of the royals. Those ships are concepts I will not discuss nor merit in the slightest.

“If you’re too scared, don’t force yourself, I can handle myself if I need to so there’s no need to worry about me. If you’re so concerned though…then fine. Why don’t we go this weekend? You know, so you can prepare yourself. You have a cell phone, don’t you? We can look each other up that way.”

     “I’m not scared! I’m just thinking logically here! I mean, there’s no point for us going if nothing comes out of it! But fine! We’ll go—this weekend! You don’t have to concern about my preparation, just worry about yourself!” It’s not that he didn’t have a phone, he just never had a use for it—besides for the one function in that it displays the current time, that is. “Yeah, but in order to look each other up, we’d need to know each other’s names, right? I’m Takumi... you are?”

[fuujinya]

— pendanto ( rin )

“Well I’m not opposed to going to see for myself. It’s not like I’ve got much going on otherwise. Did you want to tag along, maybe? I might need the help if something were to happen.”

     “You still wanna go?! Even though you agree with it being potentially dangerous?! Are you—n-nevermind...! I guess I’ll have to go with you... if you ended up getting hurt or... worse... I’d feel bad...!”

[fuujinya]

— pendanto ( rin )

“Now that you mention it…you’re right. I don’t think they’d have any reason to lie about it, it’d be pretty stupid to drop money on swimsuits for something that doesn’t even exist…not a normal beach, though…what, you think it’s something dealing with magic then?”

     “How should I know?! I mean it’s possible, I guess...? This city isn’t exactly normal after all. We could always... go ourselves... but if it really isn’t normal, then I guess that’d mean that it’s not exactly safe either...”

[fuujinya]

— pendanto ( rin )

“There is one actually or so I’ve been hearing people say. I don’t ave any idea where it might be, though. I haven’t seen an ocean anywhere…so it is pretty strange.” 

     “Pretty sure one indication of any beach existing... would be the sea breeze that comes with it. I haven’t felt anything like that though, so... it’s safe to assume that they’re either lying or whatever they’re talking about isn’t a normal beach.”

[fuujinya]

— pendanto ( rin )

“Beach weather? Better protect yourself from perverts then.”

     “More reasons to avoid the beach... and anywhere else that’s like it. Though I’m pretty sure there are no beaches in this—” His tongue stills before saying much more—refraining from what he had initially planned to call the city. “This city.”

[fuujinya]

— protosword ( arthur )

Try as he might to conceal his presence and go as unnoticed as he possibly could, women of this world seemed keen in their intuition when knowing someone was special. As much as he tries to gently goad them in leaving him be, it is to no avail as they surround him and badger him with various questions in asking his name, where he comes from, and when had he arrived. Arthur can only stand there and smile beneath his hood as he tries his best to keep his face concealed. There seems to be no way of getting out of this in a polite manner.

“There you are…!”

The sudden acknowledgement makes the women turn their attention away from Arthur and towards the man who had just said it. Thank goodness, someone had thought to try to help. Arthur wastes on time in pardoning himself from the crowd and makes his way towards the other. “I…yes! Sorry for taking so long, dear.” Emphasis on the last word, though it was sudden and he hoped the other would play along. Arthur then grabs hold of his arm.

“We should be going then, right?”

     “W-wait, what? I’m you’re—”

     It’s that sudden declaration, that term of endearment that sets him off, though before he can deny this outlandish claim, an arm, one belonging to that of the man he had planned to assist, wraps around his own. Instinctively he tries to pull away from him entirely, but surprisingly, the grip he has on him is strong, unusually so almost. Since escaping on his own is no longer possible, just like that, he reluctantly agrees to help him out by playing along—and despite his decision, he still refuses to return an affection term back to him. “Yeah, we’re going!” Whether these women believed their relationship true or not, was no concern of his, although he personally would prefer them not to think of them as a couple.

Together, arm in arm, they walk a ways distance, making sure they’re both well away from the women the man wished to avoid before separating. The young prince is then the first to break the contact they have—he even goes so far as to take a few steps away from him, more than is necessary. The light blush that had rushed to his cheeks earlier is more prominent now, though he’s not quite sure if it’s due to his embarrassment or anger. “What the hell is wrong with you?! I could’ve just left you, you know!” Fingers press onto his forehead as his thoughts float back to the expressions he had earned from the stunt that they had just pulled—how those women stared daggers at him.

     “I didn’t have to help you!”

[fuujinya]

hey hoshidan prince does someone want a kiss...on the cheek

     “Why bother asking when you know the answer will be ‘no’?!”

[fuujinya]

— protosword ( arthur )

     Despite his features being concealed ( what with the cloak that was adorned atop his head ) the man had still attracted attention, if not for the mysterious aura he exuded, then his armor, the latter of which particularly shimmering under the sun’s rays. Now surrounding him were a flock a young ladies, trying to acquire his attention—and affections, and while the young prince considers assisting him, he hesitates, feet halting abruptly. While the knight had seemed amiable, his nerves wash over him; he continues to make his way towards man and his admirers, however his anxious state leaves him without a plan. His voice comes out firmly, though his words are short, reflecting the fact that he has no course of action.

                                                               “There you are...!”

[fuujinya]

— vaikartana ( karna )

       in all fairness, Karna does not understand the apology that is blurt out at him. He was the only one at fault, spacing out in a public place where his presence would – and was – very much a bother. But in lieu of dismissing what seemed to have been an effortful apology, he simply ( reluctantly ) accepts it. Conversing with others had always been a matter of great difficulty for Lancer; words were never enough for him to understand another person, to understand their mind and how they worked. Even when he is careful and only a listener, even when one’s words are as direct as they could be, Karna worries about what he could make of the little information he is given.

       He had lived with many curses in his past life, but not being able to fully comprehend people had always been the curse he despised the most.

       ❝ I apologize for taking your time with such unimportant matter, but I’m thankful for your assistance. ❞ Even if it came to no fruition, the very fact the man would offer his time to a stranger to look for something they might not even find… Truly, Karna was more than grateful. ❝ I have been having trouble finding something that would help reduce hair volume. My co-workers seem to be bothered by the way my hair sticks out, but I’m not sure what would help with it. ❞ After all, it was the first time he had been told such thing.

     For an individual who stood out—who had appeared rather distant and cold—he had been awfully kind. The fact that his apologies never cease to end only further adds to Takumi’s embarrassment and guilt. His hand rises to dismiss him promptly through a quick waving gesture, gaze veering to the side as he does so. “It’s fine... I said I’d try to help...! So... don’t worry about it!” It being the time he spends on aiding him—the time the man assumes is being wasted on him. Though the Hoshidan prince could fritter his time away doing something else, anything else he deems productive, it’s not as though he had had plans prior to their meeting, and with his search succeeded, he had been in a considerably better mood. Assisting another could only further improve the feeling he feels wash over him, he figures. Arms cross over his chest as his head softly nods, acknowledging the man’s short explanation. Orange hues soon widen, surprise painting over his features—it’s a somewhat immediate reaction to his indication on having a job. That abrupt change in his expression changes, returning to his usual disposition.

     “Your co-workers...?” His voice is but a whisper, repeated words muttered under his breath. The concept is odd to him—a man seemingly as dignified as himself, having to worry about his appearance due to the opinions of others, of those he works alongside no less. “What I mean is—! ... You shouldn’t care about what others think...! It looks just fine to me...! ... But since you seem kinda desperate... I guess... to lower volume... I think you’d need products with a natural moisturizers... let’s see...” His stare fixate onto the shelves, hand subconsciously drifting across the many products lined side by side. A smile parts his lips upon finding the item in question, grip now tightening around its base. “Here we go! This should work! Again, I’m no expert, so I’d check in with someone who works here...” As he begins to hand over the product, the curiosity he feels grows greatly, and soon he asks a question that he had wanted to initially upon learning that he had an occupation to begin with. “What do... you work as exactly?”

[fuujinya]

— aquastress ( azura )

Lo and behold, the person who she’d least expected to see turns out to be the first one to come across her and take her by surprise. It’s not that she’s displeased by his presence ( in fact, it’s more than welcome ) but to think that he’d actually come… “T-Takumi!” she probably sounds more surprised than she should, so she is quick to calm herself. “If I had known that you would come…I’d have invited you personally to accompany me.” But she hadn’t wanted to bother him.

“I was…just looking at these.” Attention is then turned back to the beautifully assorted flower crowns. She’d been looking at them for awhile now, really. “They’re beautifully made, don’t you think?”

     Just as quick as she’s to mention her absent invite, is he quick about dismissing it, a hand nonchalantly waving as a gesture to reassure her. “It wasn’t like I was planning on coming anyway... it was a sudden decision... so don’t worry about it.“ Contrary to her surprise in seeing him, he had expected her to be here, and admittedly had been searching for her, though not in hurried sense. Nevertheless, it was a fact he’d dare not declare aloud. In actuality, he had just wanted to spend time with someone he had been familiar with already. Seeing as how the festival was taking place, and she had been the only one in the city who had been close to him—this had all been a perfect opportunity to discuss events of the past and the future.

     “Hm? Oh yeah, they are... with flowers like these growing, you would think this place wasn’t that awful.“

[fuujinya]

— vaikartana ( karna )

       the servant’s constant worry with finding what he was looking for had completely blinded him to the possibility of him standing there being a bother to people. The voice next to him automatically snaps him out of it, allows Karna to step aside a bit and curiously look at what the other had been looking for. At least one of them would leave the store quite pleased. ❝ I apologize. I should have assumed my presence would be a bother. ❞ Not quite like that, but–

       ❝ Have you found something of your interest? ❞ If all came to worst, surely… He could find a replacement. If all came to worst, he might as well ask this man for a bit of advice Surely someone with such long hair would have good information about hair products, right? ❝ I have been looking for something myself, but it seems I am out of luck. ❞ D-rank Luck wasn’t for nothing.

     Considering that he had been silent all but prior to Takumi’s appearance, he never gave regard the man’s feelings nor his reaction to the rather crude demeanor he displayed towards him. It takes him by surprise, the sudden apology that he utters; being who he is—secretly one who was considerate of others’ feelings—he can’t help but feel bad that he’s the cause for his apology. “You don’t have to apologize, you know... I just—I was in a hurry so...” His words begin to slur whilst his gaze awkwardly falls to the polished floors beneath them. “What I’m trying to say is... sorry.” Though his own apology is short, he makes certain that it’s loud enough, for him to hear at the least. ”Hm? Oh, yeah! Actually, I’ve been all over the market trying to look for this. I was beginning to lose hope and—” Perhaps it had been due to the happiness he felt upon finding what he had been long searching for now, but he speaks with an enthusiastic tone, and soon after an involuntary smile begins to upturn the corners of his lips; upon realizing his actions, he quickly moves onto a different topic.

     “Anyway...! You said you’re looking for something? I could try to help, though I can’t say I’d be of much assistance.”
