▼ starter for @thecalamitykid ▼

The empty set. A place Boxer both loved and hated.

The only reason he’s here was due to Red forgetting some of her notes. She was busy, but insisted on coming back for them. Boxer, ever the gentleman though volunteered to grab the necessary papers while she stayed at her flat. He didn’t mind though. In fact, the walk here was good for him. At least, that’s what he convinced himself.

Looking around the place, he made his way to the stage. The echoes of his footsteps trailed behind him as he finally got backstage, and towards the dressing room. 

He wasn’t expecting someone else to be here though, catching himself a little off-guard as he saw a figure standing at the door entrance to the room. He stood there for a second, and watched the person. The cloud white hair is what first caught his attention.

Wait…white hair? Now why did that seem to ring a bell? That was one of Red’s friends, right? What was his name again? Oh yeah! 

Walking up behind the teenager, Boxer gently taps him on the shoulder.

“Hey, Kid.” He says with hesitation, hoping his assumption of the boy’s name was correct. Boxer’s tall figure loomed over the other. “If you’re looking for Red, she isn’t here.”

[thecalamitykid]

The tap on the shoulder makes him fumble his small wrench he was putting away. He’s to used to people approaching him, let alone touch him. He does manage to catch the wrench before it would cause an echoing clang on the ground upon impact. He places the tool in it’s case before turning around to view the man who spoke out his name.

He was a tall fella that one. Built strong too. Kid does perk up at the mention of Red’s name. “Yeah, Unfortunately I quickly found that out when I got here. It’s okay though. I had maintenance work to do ‘round here anyhow.” He does a small shrug. Sure he was hopeful he would be there during his shifts at the open set, but her not being there wasn’t the end of the world. He wipes his hands on his shirt and offers it to the man for a hand shake. “Y’all must be that Boxer fella Red talks so much about. It’s real nice ta finally meet ch’ya! I’m Kid, though I guess you already knew that? Unless ya were just calling me a kid like some adults do ta youngins. Either way, it works out for me.”

[thecalamitykid]

“Kiran… I like it! Short and sweet. “ Kinda like his own name. Though I guess her name was a little less odd than his own. But hey, he likes his name. His momma chose it after all.

Kid looked at the architecture of the place in awe. The skill and craftsmanship of it all was truly astounding. Of course his gaze moved onto the artifact she held. His face wrinkles after hearing its name. “I’m not even gonna try and say that name. … What an odd looking thing. Looks like a gun.” He says this as he fetch out his own scrap musket. Trusted weapon of Caelondian marshals.

[hopefulsummon]

“Why thank you.” she smiled she didn’t understand why her parents gave her that name while her brother has a normal name she wonders if it’s favoritism.

“Hard to say it? I don’t blame you.” the names here were so hard to pronounce she felt bad for saying Fjorm, Ylgr, and Ephraim names wrong. “Woah that’s your weapon?” she looked at the musket. 

[thecalamitykid]

“Maybe the name is based off an older version of the language here?” How else do you explain giving a weapon such a weird name? With a name like that, it would just encourage Kid to just give it a new name. A lot of people do that sometimes… Or so he’s heard.

He perks up when she seems excited to see his musket. “Yeah! Well, it’s one of my many weapons. I tend ta just keep 2 at the ready, but I still have my arsenal with me in case I feel like I need a change of tactic.” He puts the safety on his musket before handing it to her to look at. She owns a gun of her own, so he feels safe handing it to her.

Let’s see… I have my Cael Hammer, Scrap Musket, Fang repeater, Breaker’s bow, war machete, dueling pistols, Brusher’s pike, army carbine, fire bellows, Galleon mortar and the Calamity canon…  Though I don’t like to use that last one… It’s too deadly and a reminder of what happened back home.” He listed each one as well as keeping count with his fingers, though he ran out of fingers for the eleventh one.

“I can show you any of them if you’re curious.. ‘cept for the canon.”

[hopefulsummon]

“Yeah..” she could name it something else but..would that be wrong? even Odin tried to do that but it was too many options to pick so she rather not change it.

“Woah!” this reminds her of those movies her brother and she used to watch mostly fantasy ones.”H-How many do you have?” she looked at him with an eyebrow raised. “I don’t mind but let’s see it back at the castle.” it’s a bad idea since enemies would just come out and..she doesn’t have her heroes with her but luckily the castle isnt far off.

[thecalamitykid]

“I got eleven weapons total and that’s not countin’ my Bullhead Shield!” He stated proudly. He had to have some pride in his little arsenal, since he had mastered each and every one of them! and he’s not even an adult yet!

It was still odd for him to hear that they were heading for a castle. He wondered how big it was and if it’ll even match what his mental image of what a castle would look like. If they were to be randomly attacked by assailants, he would do his darndest to protect them both. He’s used to handling hoards of hostiles coming at him from all angles.

“So why do y’all need to summon people again?”

“Ah, man. Ya just missed it. This guy, I dunno what his problem was… Probably stoned off his ass, actually… Was causing a scene and flailing about.. and then knocked over someone’s smoothie and then a fight broke out.”  The fight was pretty one sided considering one of the participants was not of a sound mind at the time, but it was still entertaining.

Kid takes a sip of his soda before speaking up again. “Someone called the cops over though, so now the fun is over. You’ll probably be able to find videos of it online.” He could have recorded it too, but he didn’t want to use up his phone battery on something so stupid. 

He stares up at the taller young man and cheekily asks. “Was your errand worth it?”

“Whoa, seriously…?” He’d been expecting to hear about something dumb or minor but from the sounds of things, he had actually missed quite a lot - though, this all sounded pretty dangerous from the sounds of things.  “…I sure hope that no one got seriously hurt here.  So, what ended up happening to the guy? Was he just arrested?”

“When did all of this go down anyway…?” Had it been just now…? Judging by how peaceful things seemed, it was almost difficult for him to believe that something so chaotic could have gone down.  Was the other male pulling his leg, maybe…? He wasn’t entirely sure.

“Well, I had to pick some stuff up anyway,” He shrugs his shoulders, his shoulders drooping slightly.  “…Don’t really know if I’d say it was ‘worth it’, but at least I won’t have to do it for another few weeks,”

[thecalamitykid]

He shakes his head a little. “Nah, the fight didn’t get that serious. I caught the tail end of it and it didn’t seem like it was serious enough to cause actual bodily harm ta anyone.” He takes another sip of his soda as he glances around to see if any of the cops were still around. “I don’t think they’ll get arrested. maybe get a warning and sent home. They were brought out of the mall pretty swiftly though.” 

That would maybe explain the lack of chaos in the area... other than the mess of smoothie in that one spot, but that’ll get cleaned up soon enough as well and the mall will look like nothing even happened earlier today. “I’m not too sure when it started or how long the fight went on. As I said I caught just the tail end. I had asked an onlooker if they knew the cause of the fight.”

He smiles and is clearly amused by all this, but he attempts to cheer him up. “I’d say that it was worth it then. Yur momma would be proud knowin’ you were bein’ responsible. Even more so if the stuff you went and got were errands for yur momma.” Kid would always support someone who wants to help their mom, no matter what. Some people may tease a guy and call him a momma’s boy, but yeah! What of it?! ... not like he can be a momma’s boy anymore though.

“How is yur momma anyways? She doin’ good? Nice and healthy? You haven’t been causing her too much stress have ya?” He teases Ryuji.

“I mean.. That’s sounds like a very nice compliment ta me. Gettin’ compared to a queen, can’t ask for better, yeah? I heard she was real purdy and kind, so I think it fits. Though I guess hearing it all the time would get annoying after a while...” It could be worse that much was for certain. She could be teased or bullied everyday instead, but thankfully that wasn’t the case. Of course, not like anyone would dare to do that to the princess of Hoshido... Not like Kid realized that’s who he was talking to...

He let out a small chuckle after trying to imagine a Hoshidan that gloats. It just didn’t seem to mix. Like oil and water. But an amusing mental image nonetheless. “Awe shucks, that’s mighty kind of ya ta say.” He wasn’t used to stuff like that said to him. His cheeks burned up a little and went red. 

“Y’all do great work out there. I’m afraid all I’m good at is, buildin’, breakin’, fixin’ and killin’... But I guess I can use that to help people... Of right speakin’ of fixin’! We’re at the blacksmith.. Give me a moment.” He walks over to the master blacksmith to explain the situation. The face the man does after sneaking a glance past the teen to see the princess confused Kid, but he was clueless. The blacksmith gives him full reign of the forge and the smithy so he can do what he has to. Don’t want to make a princess wait after all. 

He walks back to Sakura and smiles. “Now to actually work on that festal of yours. May I please have it for a little while please?”

“Oh well that’s a relief then.” He felt a little better about startling her, though now he was worried about her and as to why she keeps getting started by people. Maybe she was just a naturally skittish kind of gal.

Should he know her name already? should he know her? He shakes his head a little. “Actually, I didn’t. I’m originally from a small village on the outskirts of Nohr, so I don’t know that many people. Your name is really nice. That’s a flower ‘round here right? It suits ya.” Would it be wise to admit he’s a Nohrian? Though it was probably obvious if one were to look at his facial features. Sure he dressed in a typically Hoshidan job class’ garb, but he’s clearly not from there.

“I guess you’re well known around here? The best healer in the capital?” Oh Kid if only you knew you were talking to a princess.

[the-cherry-blossom-healer]

Sakura’s cheeks went pink. “W-Well my birth mother gave me it.” does it really suit her? She felt like it doesn’t.

“And you don’t have to worry about being from Nohr to come here.” since some Nohrians moved here to live in peace even her sister is from Nohr but some Hoshidans don’t like them living here which greatly upsets her from what she heard. 

“M-Me the best?” she wouldn’t say the best healer unless it’s some people who actually believe that. “I wouldn’t say the best,” she admits it since there’s so much she has to learn.

[thecalamitykid]

He smiles at her when she mentions her birth mother. “My momma gave me my name too!  And my hair color.” He states proudly. Sure, having his mother’s hair color gave him problems growing up and just mentioning his mom reminds him that she’s gone now, but he’s trying to keep her memory alive and in a positive light. He’ll always love his momma, it doesn’t matter if she passed on.

Their trek through the busy city on their way to the blacksmith’s was slow, but it allowed them to chat idly on their way there. He does nod after her comment about not having to worry. “The people here do seem really friendly and more inclined towards peace. So it’s really nice. I’m glad I moved. The Sun being out is a good plus too. It’s too gloomy in the dark all the time.” He admits. He much pretty the warmth and sunshine the Hosidans are getting now.

“Ah don’t be so modest. It’s okay to gloat! But I guess that’s not a Hoshidan thing to do huh? Y’all are pretty modest people. So polite and such.” He pauses in silence for a brief moment. Thinking about healers. “Healers sure are important, so I should thank ya for choosing to become one. I can’t even begin to imagine how much loss of life would happen during wars and such if there were no healers around. y’all risk your lives trying to save lives. It’s truly something.”
