@riseabovedespair​ It was a cold, cold evening, or perhaps an afternoon. It gets dark outside much earlier than what he was used to.  Not only was it cold and dark, it was pretty lonely too. Yurel pulled out his phone and picked the most recent contact. Shino, huh, it’s been a bit since they last saw each other in person and quite a lot has happened in the city. He sends a few messages, within seconds of each other.

YD: Hey <( ^ ~ ^)> YD: It’s cold and I’m in the mood for something warm. Do you know any place with good coffee? <( ? ~?)> YD: We could meet there? Or I could bring you some? It’s fine if you’re busy though. ( ง  '̀͜ '́  )ง YD: I mean, I’ll still go get whatever you recommend if you aren’t feeling like it, but the offer’s there! <(  ￣▽￣)> 

Yurel put his phone down on his bed and started shifting through whatever clothes he had for the heaviest coat he could find. Might as well get ready to leave in the meantime.

@riseabovedespair ( “you okay?” ) / send “you okay?” to find my muse sitting alone on a roof at night. ( accepting! )

After having figured out how to use the phone provided to her, Ochaco very quickly realised that there was a list of contacts for everyone on the island! If she wasn’t busy, then she’d take the time to scroll through it and see if she could find any names of people from her own home! But... it didn’t update frequently, it sometimes took days to get more people on the list, some of them not even being from her world! ...If anything, the contact list was adding onto her sense of loneliness.

Sure, the people that were already on the island were great! She could talk to them anytime! It just... felt odd without everyone else there.

Some point during the night had led her to climbing onto a roof, and her continuing to scroll through the contacts for something, anything to change! Hearing someone ask a question suddenly brought her out of that task, her even almost dropping her phone in the process.

“ Oh! I didn’t see you, or hear you if you said anything before! Yeah, I’m fine... just trying to see if I can find any more of my friends on this phone... I don’t think they’d all appreciate me messaging them at this time, so... “ With that, she sighed and finally locked the phone, simply taking to bringing her knees close to her and wrapping her arms around them. “ ...I’m lonely. “

@riseabovedespair liked for a starter

“Hello, short miss over there!~” Zeno wasn’t exactly shy, so he had no problem in approaching strangers. Especially not strangers that woke his interests. He lived for over two thousand years, yet he never had seen someone that looked like her... “Hope it’s okay for Zeno to ask, but are those horns on your head real?”

Before she would misunderstand, he quickly added. “They’re cute!” And even though that was what he really thought, he still was already thinking the whole time about how uncommon it was. He as the Ouryuu often was called a monster, and he could imagine that the girl in front of him made similar experiences so far. Perhaps they could already bond over something like that...

riseabovedespair liked your post “toki adventure with machines. part 1. starter call at four. ”

 This is the moment of truth. He’s doing it, after months of attempting to figure out this dammed constraption, Tokifusa is finally doing it!

He presses the button on the electric kettle and finally!!! it steams. 

 “...Yes! I did it”! 

Please clap.

@riseabovedespair ➴ ( sc ) !!

     “Jewelry, huh?”

The craftsmanship of the woman’s work really was remarkable - and almost a little nostalgic. It’s not the first time he’s came across someone who enjoyed making things like this. Though, could it really be considered nostalgic if Hilda herself still made little charms? They just reminded him of more... peaceful days, that’s all - where the only thing one could worry about was little charms and passing tests.

But, he tried not to dwell on the past, as much as he wanted to. He masked it with a smile - one that doesn’t reach his eyes, but hopefully Shino won’t catch that.

     “You should meet a friend of mine. She likes making charms      herself. Kind of nice that she has a little hobby. I always worried      she would wither away from being lazy. But, you’re pretty good      at what you do, Shino. How long have you been doing this?”

// RESPITE AND REVISIT 

@riseabovedespair

Savior’s Respite was a far ways up the path. Dogen wanted to see it himself, after talking to some of the townsfolk about the area. What did Archimedes have to offer, was the question. Swimming, would be nice. For some other time, he thought. The theatre and the church did not interest him much either. Though perhaps he’d find holy water at the latter, if he ever needed it. If they even let him take even a step close to the place. 

One of his lighter, long pipes in his mouth, he travels quietly on the path with satchel over his shoulder. 

Being here, and knowing things would be at peace for a time, he wanted to revisit his alchemy. He finds a small open area off the path of flowers to set up his equipment. By some miracle it didn’t seem important enough to keep from him. They weren’t weapons, after all. 

He thinks nothing of the coming pulses in his head. Placing a piece of ginger into his mouth as he unpacks various ingredients he’d been gathering. Reading glasses slip over his prominent nose, flipping through an old, ‘well-loved’ book.

@riseabovedespair // starter call

Everyone around these parts sure wore some interesting clothes... though it seemed like Hak was really the one out of the ordinary when it came to that for the most part. Skirts were so short... and shirts were all cut in a one piece way that sort of made sense, but it was unfamiliar so he didn’t quite trust them yet. At least scarves seemed to be universal still, but nothing could really prepare him for what looked like horns to be coming out of this other person’s head. Well, Kija had some big old dragon claw and that weirdo Jae-ha had his scaly old foot, so maybe horns and scales weren’t exactly too out there. There wasn’t any mention of dragon horns in the old legend though -- did dragons even have horns? He was plenty sure if anyone was around in the kingdom with her features, his ears would’ve heard of it. 

“Lemme guess, pulled here from another world too? Seems like that’s an annoying reoccurring theme with the people here.” Or maybe she was a local? No point in making guesses when he could just ask the person instead. Maybe that was a little crass to start saying right off the bat though. “Sorry, just got here myself so I’m a little restless to say the least - you been here long?”
