"...you can use magic?" Octavo blinks at him, pizza box still in hand. "I thought you were a regular human. Why didn't you ever mention you came from someplace with magic?"

From what Eiden is saying, it sounds like magic was as mundane a skill as weaving or pottery, so perhaps he didn't find it worth bringing up?

[kleinstar]

" Nope", Eiden responds, truthfully, " I can use essence. There's a difference. "

" Essence is the magical energy sorta kinda thing you need to use for magic, I just happen to have loads of it. I can technically only transfer it and use it to look for certain sorta things, it keeps me sort of healthy, it heals me ... but it's still different from magic. "

Basically it has it's properties but he can only wield essence around or transfer it.

" Anyway, I got summoned there. So I don't really come from there... or uh, I do but I grew up in a normal world and then just got summoned. By accident. "

[theohunger]

" Mhm. . . "

Perhaps it had something to do with the angle then. Otherwise, laying down onto the ground did not sound all that pleasant. Comparatively, the surface was covered in soft looking green grass instead of rubbish and filth. Maybe he could give this a try.

And so he does. Zodyl sits onto the ground before awkwardly flopping back into the grass. Now his eyes were squinting to keep the sun rays out of his face.

What did Eiden do--?

He opened his hands out, and he said something. Words were important, so Zodyl decides to copy everything verbatum.

Zodyl opens his eyes properly to look up towards the sky, and spreads his arms out.

In the flattest tone possible, he says:

" Voilà. "

" . . . I guess this is. Okay. "

[kleinstar]

" Just okay?! " Eiden answers, seeming just a little bit offended in his tone, " this is like... peak ...youth experiences! "

That might be exaggeration even for himself. This was supposed to be more about the sky anyway. That said the game isn't over yet! The guy did lay down there so he's not doing something totally unnecessary after all ... probably.

Regardless - he's got... sort of a secret weapon.

Or not really but.

" Anyway from here you can look at the cloud shapes and then when you see some of them resembling something then you go... "

Eiden gasps mid sentence and continues with great energy:

" WOW that totally looks like a dick?! "

And loosens up again. No, there's no phallic clouds that Eiden has noticed up there.

" Anyway, kinda like that? "

[occultacarne]

Eiden didn't know the kind of monster that Sebastian was? Just want guise was Sebastian playing in a new world like this?

"My mother left home briefly to have a talk with Sebastian, and he killed her. With his own hands. This is the kind of king," he practically spits that word out with hate, "is."

[kleinstar]

So he did. Eiden doesn't feel any relief finding it out. There's a part of him that's not particularly surprised but there's no joy he can conjure from that kind of thing.

" But! "

Unsure what else to do he finds his hands, balled into first. No anger behind the gesture, more just general upset. Should he even be upset? He can't find himself doubing this guy. It's not like he hasn't been given warning about the guy.

" Why would he do something like that though!!! "

" That's what I want to know... "

[sxnburst]

"Mmmm," Sun nods, seemingly understanding where Eiden is coming from when talking about feelings and hurting them if one were too honest.

Not for himself. Sun was told to never lie. Though when he didn't lie, oftentimes, he got in trouble.

"I can't really lie," he says truthfully. "Bentley doesn't like liars so I never lied. But...telling the truth, I usually got in trouble for them, too."

[kleinstar]

He's somewhat sure he's heard that name before. Sun has mentioned him.

" Don't know what's up with that guy but I don't think I've ever heard you speak of him nicely - not that you should. I don't think I'd like him either."

There's a reason for that, Eiden assumes - knows, really.

" I mean you don't have to listen to a guy like that, you can just say and not say what you like. I mean, he probably isn't here anyway, is he? So why would you have to listen to him? "

[explosivedesire]

"Of course not! Or well I guess there was one guy in it. But he didn't seem too phased by the fact I was doing it in the first place."

Aurelius's confidence in the whole matter did make it seem like the little job was only just to "prove a point". Respectable to a certain extent but really the doll couldn't care less as long as she was having a good time with her work.

"Reeeeelax! I'm pretty sure he made it out when the whole big boom happened in the first place. Probably too tenacious to die in a stupid way like that."

[kleinstar]

" Haven't we spoken about how you shouldn't just blow things up!! "

Eiden lets out a drained sigh as he sinks back onto his seat. Sure they didn't die here out anyway but that's now reason explode stuff around!!!

" You being 'pretty sure' doesn't sound very reassuring. Besides even if they live exploses cause other stuff too - the impact, y'know! What about property damage!!"

[thiefandlyre]

"I don't care for it either, but food is practically unlimited around here. I doubt it'd be any real harm if you threw it away." Octavo opens one of the boxes to examine the pizza.

"It's honestly been a relief, not being hungry all the time. My magic is rather draining and proper meals were not always easy to come by. Are the green bits the peas? I've never had them." He picks one off and sniffs it.

[kleinstar]

" Uh, I mean, it's a personal thing, just..."

" Can't break a habit. We didn't have great budget where I lived so they were pretty strict about it. "

Stand in the corner all night if you wasted any food was what they told you to do. Eiden did often try to escape the punishment so a teacher would stand there to make sure he didn't.

"Yeah? Back in Klein there were specific food that were rich with the energy used for magic that you could use to replenish it but otherwise food doesn't do much. "

No green peas huh? Klein overlapped a lot with "Earth Cuisine" so to speak, old familiar stuff sometimes with different names and just brand new stuff combined into all sorts of delicacies (and mildly dubious stuff).

" And yeah, huh? That's interesting. That's like super ordinary stuff where I come from. "

[kleinstar]

pretty sure this one of rei's intimacy rooms but fkjgkgkgg

[thiefandlyre]

Octavo shows up at Eiden's place not long after, knocking at the door.

"Exactly how did you suddenly find yourself in possession of so many pizzas?" he asks, peering at Eiden with his hands on his hips. It felt like too good a deal to be true.

[kleinstar]

" I was given them against my will. Anyway come on in..."

He turns to walk to his small kitchen aisle where he has piled them up.

" Thanks for real. I don't like wasting food so I'm just happy to get rid of them... Not my ...thing I guess. "

He's a little embarrassed to mention his dislike for green peas, feeling his food grievances are a little juvenile. Usually he finishes even the food he dislikes but five pizzas is way too much, even spread apart on several days.

[sxnburst]

Sun glances at the flowers scattering on the floor. He'd reach for Eiden's hair if he could but...well, alas, he doesn't.

"Does it feel better when you don't hold back? Or is it the same?"

[kleinstar]

" Like normally? Or just now? I don't know hmm. "

The answer between those might be the same now that he thinks about it.

" I mean, sometimes I think it's... probably good to sometimes spare words so you can spare some feelings - like the result of saying them might cause unnecessary sorrow... and sometimes it's just not worth the effort."

" Ah but can't lie though, it feels totally good to tell off rude customers haha. "

The word keep spilling from his lips so quick Eiden almost can't keep up. Part of it feels fine but some of it... The smile on his face feels a little glued on right now.

" Sorry, I'm definitely saying too much - how do you feel about it though Sun? You're pretty honest aren't you? Not disappointed with me are you haha... "

[anghexescu]

"We couldn't give birth here, I don't think," Klaus says with a laugh. "Sephiroth is joining our little family. In fact, we just moved to Sky Strewn. I figured we should be far away from Sebastian to keep Sephiroth safe."

[kleinstar]

" ...oh yeah? But you can... can you give birth otherwise? "

He couldn't tell if Klaus was speaking generally or not. It could be an angel thing? Guess it was okay though. The whole adopting thing, he might have gotten ahead of himself out of surprise. Not everyone argued with Aurelius, he knew that much too.

" Huh? "

" Safe from him? Did something happen? "

[occultacarne]

Seamus falls quiet. This guy is too kind. Even to someone like Sebastian. It wouldn't be fair to drag someone like this into what Seamus needs help with, but....

"He killed my mother," he answers truthfully. "He's caused so much heartache to not just me, but his other children. Whether it's intentional or not, it doesn't change that his very existence causes an awful rift between all of us."

[kleinstar]

Killed her?

Eiden freezes on the spot, jaw hanging down. The shock is cold and empty, leaving him without clear line act on. It was said it might have been unintentional at least...?

" But by killing? You don't mean by his hand do you... "

" I mean... that's kind of... "

It's relevant, he wants to say but the words tangle onto his throat.

[shanuraru]

@kleinstar

"Hey, have you seen a dragon around here?" Lilli skids to a halt in front of the guy, careful not to bump his sketchbook as she does.

"Not one of the big ones!" gesturing with her hands, she tries to approximate the size of the dragonet she travels with; how to describe him... cat-sized?

"He's a young dragon, I think he was chasing some sort of animal. Did he happen to come by here?"

[kleinstar]

" Hm? "

Eiden lifts his nose from the paper, blinking. Dragons? He doesn't think he'd miss something like that, not even a small one but then again he HAS been focused on draing for a while now.

" No I don't.. I haven't really looked around for a while", he then says shaking his head, closing the sketchbook, " closest thing would probably be Chips haha. "

Well, not really but dragons are kind of like dinosaurs right? And dinosaurs were sorta like birds, he recalls having heard long time ago.

Speaking of Chips though - Eiden looks left and right in rapid succession.

" Huh... hold on, where is he -- "

[thelocustsings]

"Aaah… well, the shop didn't really seem like it was using it right that moment, and it was just left out there right on the outside." Gregor looks completely unabashed at the momentary theft, handing over the broom. It isn't like he doesn't plan to put it back after or anything.

Gregor's knees audibly pop and crackle as he kneels down, insectile arm bracing against the cool stone tiles. "C'mon. I won't drop you or anything, bud."

Eiden won't be the first man Gregor's had to carry around before, and he most certainly won't be the last. He's not too concerned about being able to hold the guy up long enough to get that thing down.

[kleinstar]

" Well spot bud!!! "

Eiden doesn't spare much thought for the broom than he just did, he's just happy to be here and that they're able to get to the treasures.

He does pause on that knee sound though but in the end this is the best shot they have. He offers quick well-wishes to Gregor's knees and slings his legs over his shoulders. With one hand he's holding the broom, the other he's rises up for fist pump.

" Okayyyy! Up we go then Gregs!! "

He can't wait to see what they've got!

[kleinstar]

⚾️ + poisoned dildo that cuts your libido!!

Send a  ⚾️ + item to throw that item at my muse! (ACCEPTING)

" Wh... "

" Why would you? You know I'll definitely do it less with you if I were to use this? Is that your aim? ....what kind of weird kink is that? "

[kleinstar]

AITA for purposely leading on the guy who has a toxic crush on me? He annoys me and pisses me off but I kind of like being able to stomp on him now and again and I think he's into that. I've made it clear I'm not romantically or physically interested but it's fun getting a rise out of him and never following through.

Am I the Asshole (AITA) (ACCEPTING)

" Yes? "

" I mean, can't say definitely like this, but you might be making him kind of miserable doing this on the long run aren't you? I won't assume too much because from the sound of it you could also just be a freak but... What's so fun about this to you anyway? Why specifically this guy if you don't care? "
