Waking the Dead 2.0 || May 18, 2063 || The Mandatory Hot Springs Episode
[The skies are clear, the air is cool, and overall? Conditions are perfect for spending the entire afternoon and maybe even the entire night at the hot springs within Seigi. It's open to Zangyaku operatives and their families, along with any of their guests.
Oh, they're also communal. Surely no one minds? It's just skin, after all.
You're allowed to smoke, drink and eat while you're chilling out in the pools. You can also play cards, have a round (or several) of ping pong, flop around... anything goes, as long as you don't kill anybody!]
OOC Notes:
+ Make your own threads, plot out your own shenanigans and whatever else. Just remember: War Hounds and the rest were probably invited there after lunch, and are more than welcome to spend the rest of the day there. Y'all might want to specify the time. :3
+ NPCs are available on call beyond the threads I set up in here (if I end up setting some up, anyway)! Lemme know if you have questions.
Hehe. Btw, the thread for mentor drinking is up for these two as well! Want link?
[Sitting up now, to make room.]
Not joining your blade?
Yes, please :3c
[There's a stage shiver, but it's an affectionate tone in his voice that belies that he actually doesn't mind it all the time. He takes a seat next to the older man and digs out his cigs from somewhere in his yukata]
So. That was brutal.
[He speaks of the match between The Assassin and The Living Land. Using their titles somehow softens the blow to Kaz. Detaching the fact that two people he respected had basically gone down and dirty and it was really, really not pretty.]
Link in ooc note on this post. :3
Oh. Serious discussion time, is it? Not saying anything immediately. Focusing on his cigarette instead.]
Aria is lucky that Tohru didn't go all out. He could have.
[You don't need to kill someone in order to make them feel like they died, after all.]
ooc: And here! Takes place a day after this, etc. etc., we can figure out something.
Re: Link in ooc note on this post. :3
[He tries to stave off the fear in his voice. He had clung to Nico after that, unable to form more than a few words until they visited the Great Koi again.]
On one hand, though... It had still been something else to watch.
no subject
[That is, until he retired.]
no subject
[Truth be told, though, he'd buried his face in Nico's shoulder when it got really bad. Not wanting to watch it.]
I respect them both... Aria was my teacher when I got transferred into Balamb and Tohru is Hikaru's dad AND Kuya's master. I just can't help but wonder why it had to go down like that.
no subject
[Low and neutral. A fact was a fact, regardless of his own sentiments on the matter.]
clueless Karlo Antonio is clueless
How so?
[He's blinking up at Alistair curiously right now, eyes mostly pleading for the older man to help him understand what happened.]
lol
[Taking a drag now.]
Yet she insisted on trying to keep it.
Re: lol
She insisted...
[He trails off, thinking about how the match had gone down, how Aria didn't seem to want to do anything, and how Tohru Fukuzawa had made Malia Saab back down.
She insisted.
His sigh is heavy and it all confuses him still, especially knowing that Aria and Hikaru may have been a thing, and then the Other Thing(tm) between his former master and his friend. The next few words out of his mouth were barely a whisper, his hand scrubbing his face.]
She should've backed down.
no subject
[He falls quiet again, taking yet another drag from his cigarette. His gaze, Kaz will note, is following Hikaru's progress from a distance.]
It's hard, sometimes, being in love with someone who might as well be a god.
greeeeat now Kaz really can't rag on him here.
The smile on his face is wistful, and he puts an arm around Alistair, trying to comfort him.]
XD
Lifting an eyebrow at that, but surprisingly? Not moving away.]
I'm fine.
[He means it. This is something that he signed up for.]
no subject
[He takes his arm off of Alistair to light up, looking out at the sky and thinking about how Aria was doing, how that affected Hikaru, and how both of that was affecting Alistair.]
no subject
[Especially when he realized how much it hurt the Blade King, to have someone constantly turning away, constantly pushing him in another direction when he wanted to be right there.]
no subject
Well... It is what it is... I'd think, with the way Hikaru operates...
[His hands go into a rolling motion, as if saying 'well, y'know - and better than I would, at that.]
no subject
[Right. Too dark for a moment like this.
Reaching out to ruffle Kaz's hair now.]
Go and join your friends.
no subject
[Kaz's eyes plead though, Please don't wallow.
He shakes his head in an attempt to smooth his hair out, before he drags himself up and moves along, perhaps to find his friends, or his boyfriend, if he's not training.]
