Aladdin: I can show you the world~♫

Judal: What the fuck are you doing kid?!

[snowbroing]

Jack’s smile grew at the kid’s excitement. It was… incredibly nice—like warm and fuzzy—to have that directed at him instead of just being a spectator to it. He looked down at the entrance below them, noting that business was a little slow right then, which made sense since it was still school hours. From what he could tell, most of the people inside were tourists. In the middle of Aladdin’s circling, Jack hooked his arm around the Magi’s and pulled him off to land a bit away from the entrance. Even if there weren’t a lot of people around, it’d be something to explain if someone saw a little boy fly into the gates.

“Maybe not dragons, but they should have sea horses.” Well. That definitely was not the same thing and probably not nearly as impressive as a dragon would be. Placing his hand on Aladdin’s back, the Guardian nudged the boy towards the admission counter. “Anyway, kiddo, you gotta pay to get in. Just tell them you want a kid’s ticket and give them the money when they ask for it. Simple, right?”

[halharlinfigar]

Once they had landed, Aladdin put Blue on his head so the avian could see his surroundings more comfortably. "Sea horses?! Can you ride them?" Riding a horse underwater sounded much more fun then observing a dragon--in every respect.

It wasn't hard for a child as sharp as Aladdin to catch how odd it was that not only was Jack not getting a ticket, but he wasn't even accompanying the Magi while he got his own. Instead he... gave instructions on how to get one. It probably was nothing, but it bothered Aladdin a tad more than it should have. Still, he only let his concern show on his face for a second before he nodded and complied with Jack's order. 

What the spirit didn't know was that Aladdin slipped the person at the counter a bit more money and asked for an adult ticket as well. Actually, he kind of just put a bunch of money on the counter and told them to keep it all--he saved only a bit for any kind of food he might want once they get inside. 

Both tickets in hand, the Magi returned to his frosty friend's side and held out the extra slip of paper. "Here, Jack! You need one too." Even if he didn't, Aladdin wasn't going to let the spirit get by not being treated normally. Jack might be okay not being treated this way, and everyone else might too, but it didn't sit well with Aladdin--he was going to continue being Jack's friend and acknowledging him as if he were Titus or even Alibaba. He'd probably even bop Jack on the head if he tried to argue.

You could color Crowley impressed—and that was not a hue the serpent was commonly shaded in. The easy solution would be to chalk the boy’s rather insightful answer on the fact that he was a Magi (apparently they weren’t referred to as ‘Wise Men’ for nothing), but the demon wouldn’t be satisfied on that alone. Besides, he couldn’t deny that he was interested in the little bugger; there was clearly more to Aladdin then Crowley had given him credit for.

Yellow eyes gauged the boy through shaded lens as he approached. He wanted to handle this carefully, there was no need to alarm Aladdin unnecessarily, and the best way seemed to be by complying to the boy’s line of questioning. Crowley wasn’t sure how he felt about letting him into the car after wrecking it—actually, he knew that he didn’t like the thought of it—but there wasn’t much else he could see himself doing. After getting into the Bentley and closing the door after him with a soft click, Crowley threw a quick glance over his shoulder to Aladdin.

“It’ll be easier to show you as I explain it so, c’mon, hop in.” Crowley dug into the inner pockets of his jacket to pull out a set of keys, which was more for show than anything else seeing as the demon didn’t need to start the ignition to drive. 

[halharlinfigar]

Had he given away too much? Aladdin could feel the other's eyes on him, and it made the Magi wonder if he had said more than he should have. It wasn't that he wanted his status to be kept need-to-know, but he wasn't sure what a demon--someone he thought was part of Al Sarmen their first encounter--would do. He wanted them to be able to remain friends--and not in the way he and Sinbad were friends, either. Actual friends that held no hidden agendas.

His worries seemed to be unnecessary, though. Crowley's attitude didn't change, and in fact he offered the child a ride! If anything, he seemed much nicer and willing to not hold Aladdin accountable for the crime against his Bentley.

Instead of opening the door, the Magi used his gravity magic to float inside--he wasn't sure how much the demon would like it if he actually touched the car again, so he was playing it safe. He then gently plopped himself down in the seat beside his demonic companion.

Despite himself, he was actually a bit nervous. It was one thing riding Mor's shoulders, his turban, or even flying by himself--but a car was cramped and last time he was in it, it not only turned sideways but it even crashed into a tree! He had no doubts Crowley knew what he was doing, but that didn't stop him from being a bit on edge. 

"Oh, so you use those? They look funny." he said, eyeing the keys. Now he knew why the car didn't want to work for him; he didn't have the right parts to make it go! "Where will it go once you make it work?"

…Oh. Wow. Not lost, then. I’unno what you’re on about with you ‘bird’s eye view’ or whatever, but I weren’ expectin’ you to out and say you’re my roommate. Guess that’d make sense, though, you…welcomin’ me to the Fight Club. That the name of the dorm?

Man, this is weirder than my last school, in any case. Name’s Yasuhiro Hagakure, and you don’ need t’ worry: don’ have any homo or…boobies on me. Weirdly specific rules, but - yeah - okay. Sure. You guys been here longer, so.

[halharlinfigar]

No the name of the dorm is h-1 but the h is for no homo. Fight Club is just something I heard on T.V the one time I watched it, and it sounded so cool that I had to say it once!

Ah, good! If Dave caught you with homo you'd have to fight him probably. I don't know why he doesn't like boobies, but he's very serious about this being a boy's only room! I'm sure you'll like him, despite his rules.

There's also one more roommate you might not have met yet; his name is Fubuki! He really likes kicking balls. Oh yeah--you don't have anything against birds, right?

[twerkin4swaggie]

i didnt say web i said net but i guess thats a good point considering youre technologically stunted

what???

youre the one talking about me behind my back you heartless…cruel….monster………………………..nah im just joshin you really though dont be upset im the only one who should be upset but youre lucky i dont care

[halharlinfigar]

No, no! You don't understand--I heard the internet is also called the World Wide Web! What kind of spider made a whole web as big as the world, and why would my friends walk into it? I'm not technologically stunted either, I drove a car the other day! I also watched T.V once. 

Why would you be upset if I'm comparing you to one of my closest friends?! I also don't know why you would "Josh" me, that's not very nice at all. You should care, we're friends, and we're married... I think. You shouldn't make your friend-wife-husband upset by playing bad pranks!

twerkin4swaggie replied to your post:

are you talking bad about me to your internet friends whos this alibaba who are you talking to do you not love me anymore aladdin are we not married im hurt

Why would my friends be entering a web? That doesn't sound safe at all! Where did they even find webs big enough? Even if they are walking into webs, I'm not talking bad about you. Alibaba is a prince who will be the king! Wait--calm down! I never said anything like that! We are still married because you stole my first almost-kiss, and I never said I didn't love you! 

Are you bullying me and pretending to be offended to make me sad? Don't be mean to me or I'll... I will--do something! I'll be angry with you, is what!

[halharlinfigar]

you gotta be careful, aladdin when you say 'no homo and boobies' you're actually saying 'no homo and no boobies'

Because that's the rule! No girls are allowed in the room. Dave would kick us out if we brought in boobies... because between you and me I think he's a bit like Alibaba.

[hagacool-deactivated20130411]

—Hold up, you’re meant to be here? Not, like, lost or anythin’, yeah? Whoa. So— So you’re a child prodigy or something like that? Don’ mean to offend ya or anything - jus’, you know, thought it a little weird that there’s some…kid in a high school. No offence.

[halharlinfigar]

Well, yeah. It's my fate to be here! Also it's pretty hard to get lost when you have a bird's eye view of everything, so I'm positive I know where I am. I'm your roommate, Aladdin! 

I don't know why it'd be weird for someone to be in high school. Are there... age restrictions here? I was never told. Oh! Before I forget, I have to tell you the rules of this room. There are only two; no homo and boobies. Those are the rules.

[halharlinfigar]

Aladdin! You got a new roommate with hair like a palm tree. Be sure to greet him and get a good Feel of him, too!

Aladdin already knew he was getting a new roommate long before he got the message, and he was all over getting ready to greet him.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure he feels welcome!"

“Naturally,” was the only thing he said in response to the boy’s amazement. He may have been Lower Than A Local Councilor back in the Pit, but he could still pride himself as a demon. Occulting something like this was no big deal. If anything, he should’ve received something for driving a car that was on fire and had no wheels. That was impressive.

This next part required some amount of concentration and the serpent kept quiet as he willed his car to unfold its back end. Once the Bentley was completely fixed and as pristine as the day he first got it, the serpent huffed a small sigh and turned around to finally face the Magi.

“But you’re wrong, you know. It’s not ‘too bad’. Considering that only a few millennia ago, humans crawled on the mud like hopeless monkies, the achievements they’ve made is nothing short of incredible.”

God could create another Earth (the fact that all these people seemed to come from different worlds was proof of that), but even He could never create another race as wretched and stunning as humans. Humans could be horrible, sure—not even demons could do something as awful as the Spanish Inquisition—but Crowley was attached to the bloody bastards. If he would allow the sentiment, he could even say that he was fond of them. Then again, Crowley had been on this stupid, marvelous planet since its very first dawn. He was old and this wasn’t something he expected a little boy to understand.

[halharlinfigar]

What Crowley didn't know what that Aladdin did understand. Perfectly, at that. He knew everything that has happened up until the current point he was living in, and could see the entire life of anyone who had reentered the cycle of Rukh. All the knowledge of the past was at his fingertips. All of Solomon's Wisdom.

"I'm not saying the human race isn't amazing! I just think it's a shame that people grow faster than they can adapt. There are millions of new inventions, possessions, and reasons for humans to go to war. Still, you can only count the ways they have begun to understand each other, as a whole, on your hands.

Everything around us keeps changing, but it's very hard to change along with them so rapidly." Aladdin paused for a minute, wondering if he should really stop on that note. He didn't want to come off as if he knew too much, though it might've been too late for that. "Not that I know anything about the world! Someone like you, who's lived an adult lifespan, probably knows much more than a child like me." He'd omit the fact that he, too, was older than he appeared.

Once he finished speaking, Aladdin put both hands behind his back as he approached Crowley's side and peered into the newly refurbished vehicle. "So how do cars really work? Obviously you don't use magic to operate them--or at least not the kind of magic I know. The book I read only told me how the insides work, not how to get them all to begin their tasks."

[halharlinfigar]

IF YOU GOT GOOD CREDIT YOU CAN BE MY WIIIIIIIIIIFFFFFFFFFFEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Credit? What's credit? Oh, wait! I've read about it. It's like "street cred" right? I think I have lots of street cred!

But I can't be your wife, no matter how good my credit is.

[halharlinfigar]

IF YOU DONT GET OUT THE SCREET, OH I SWEAR FO GOD UN UH, DON'T MAKE ME TAKE MY SHOE OFF, GET OUT OF MY WAY HEFFA

I'm sorry but I don't understand your accent. Are you speaking another language? Please keep your shoes on! 

[halharlinfigar]

Kiddo! I heard that a girl was bullying you and took your money, so I got it back for you. Listen, the next time someone tries to threaten you into doing anything, you shouldn't let them do as they please. Even if you're really strong and they probably can't hurt you, they typically hurt other people as well. So... just be careful, okay?

"A girl bullied me for money?" Aladdin didn't recall ever being put in danger for money of all things--but when he thought hard enough he remembered the hungry miss.

"Well, even if she was bullying me it's okay! If I have something someone else wants or needs, it's my place to share even a little bit with them." 

When he heard that she hurt other people though, or could possibly hurt other people was when Aladdin's sense of justice kicked in. It was fine if people picked on him, but hurting those who couldn't defend themselves wasn't okay!

"If I catch that Miss asking more people for their money--bullying people--I'm gonna tell her off and whack her on the head! Oh! And thank you so much for returning my money to me, but you can keep it. I don't need it. Or you can let me buy something for you for putting a stop to that mean miss!" 

[snowbroing]

As Jack rode along the air currents, he observed how the Magi’s flying magic operated. The winter spirit couldn’t have even been able to guess how it worked, but he could tell that it was clearly different from his own brand of flying (then again, he was basically a napkin getting blown around in the wind). And both of them varied from how a bird flew! Them flying around like this wouldn’t help Blue much in learning how to fly, but Jack was far from finding their trip a waste of time. He snapped out of his watching when the boy’s question registered. 

“Hmm? We’re going to the zoo!” Jack paused. Did Aladdin know what a zoo was? To be safe, he decided to try and explain it to the little boy, leaving the part about how some of them were kept in cages out. “It’s this place where people keep animals from around the world. They even have a place just for birds, so Blue could probably make a lot of friends!”  Well, hopefully at least. Chances were that a bunch of them were in torpor, but there were still the winter birds! 

[halharlinfigar]

"The zoo?" Aladdin was just about to ask what exactly a zoo was before Jack was kind enough to give a simple explanation. There were a lot of animals that even the traveler hadn't seen before, so the idea of animals from all over being in one place caused his eyes to light up. "Do you think they have sea dragons? I'd like to see another one of those as well!" Hopefully if there was such a grand beast in the zoo, it wasn't as hostile as the one from the Sindra kingdom.

It was when he asked the question that Aladdin saw three big letters on a sign that he would assume only meant that they had arrived at their destination; Z O O! From this aerial point of view the Magi could only make out small figures in enclosures, but he was ready to (literally) dive in and play with all the animals! Especially the birds, who would hopefully teach Blue all the things he needed to know. 

"Jack look! Below us!" he flew eagerly in circles around the spirit, unable to contain the overwhelming excitement he held for all the new knowledge he'd acquire in the zoo, and all the new sights he'd see. It'd been a while since he felt like this--like he knew absolutely nothing and that even the air he breathed was a new experience, but he missed the feeling. It was like his first days on Earth all over again.
