Asch the Bloody ([personal profile] dissonates) wrote2012-02-18 03:21 pm

[Missions suck as much as, if not moreso than, the drafts. Asch has decided this. It's not just that he'd been sent on an uncomfortably-outnumbered solo mission, it's not just that his health problems had reared their ugly heads in the middle of it and nearly gotten him killed, it's not just he'd had to rely on luck and skill to keep him alive with zero ability to heal himself despite being a Seventh Fonist.

No, at this point, mostly? It's the fact that once it's all over, and the Malnosso saw fit to send him back to the village, he finds himself floundering underwater.

Bastards, is his second thought, since his first is a string of expletives that would do a sailor proud. Thankfully he's only a couple of feet or so from where his feet can touch solid ground, so within a minute he's slogging towards the shore, soaking wet and pulling seaweed from his hair. Damn. Bastards.

Not that the shore is much better. There's apparently something going on - the usual love experiment, no doubt - and he's managed to get dumped right in the middle of it. They probably did that on purpose. He can't do anything while soaked as he is, though, so his first order of business is to get changed. There isn't much selection, but within a few minutes he's got his uniform hung out to dry and is wearing a suit and a long, dark blue bathrobe. It's humiliating, but it's better than freezing to death back in the village.

Since he has to wait for his clothes and hair to dry in the sun, Asch will be hanging around the beach area, available for chatting, fruity goodness, and whatnot. Come and bother the cranky one! (He is unaffected by the normal love stuff, btw.)]

Across some worlds. And all I know about yours is what...[ guy told me. abort abort abort. ]

Well. For all I know? Bingo could be the national sport.

... I don't know. I just felt like coming out here. I heard the weather was really nice out here, so...

[He turns his head to smile up at him.] Besides, I'm feeling a lot better now that I'm here.

[Miyabi rolls her eyes, and stands up to pick up a fruit that was laying in the sand a few feet away, partially buried. She rinses it off, dries it on her shirt, and wanders back over to Asch. She's had plenty of the sweet fruits, and one bitter, unripened one. This one should be good, though. It feels heavy enough to be filled with juicy, pulpy, sugary goodness.]

Just try it. If something bad happens, you can blame me for it, okay? I'll take full responsibility.
distressedude: (I'm a pretty cool guy.)

Nothing so big as to effect the whole village. Although--

[There was that Van thing and-- nope, not even going to start trying to explain that to Asch of all people.]

--it did seem like everyone was in a rather good mood this week. It makes today seem like the perfect way for it to end.

National sport? It's like...a thing that your whole culture does. Like a pastime. But it has to be fun.

[ wait a minute. ] Well, it doesn't have to be fun. But it at least has to pretend to be fun.

[Gods, way to make her feel anxious and under pressure, Asch. 8| It's just a piece of fruit, good lord. But Miyabi watches Asch carefully, her eyes scanning his face for any subtle changes in his usual features.]

...Well? How is it? [She bites her tongue, lest she ask the sarcastic question of "are you going to die?"]

...And this is -- your idea of a good time?

What did you expect? [Miyabi snickers, and reaches for the fruit half Asch didn't eat, ripping off a piece for herself to nibble on. Once she's finished with it, Miyabi licks her fingers clean and dries them on her shirt.] You should learn to trust me a little bit more, Asch! I'd never do anything to put you in harm's way, you know that.

[With a smile, she leans towards him, feeling pleasantly warm and kind of...fuzzy. Huh.]

Tell me about it. I guess that's what journals are for! Can you imagine everyone trying to talk with carrier pigeons? [He grins at the image - gosh, it'd take everyone hours just to get through one little conversation.]
fabrecation: (Heh...)

[A mess, huh...

... And now Luke just imagines pigeon poop everywhere, so he snerks, then lets out a quiet laugh - only quiet because this is Asch. He makes himself stop for that same reason, though the grin stays on his face as he shuts his eyes and sort of tilts his head against Asch's, as much as he can, as a kind of sign of affection. Nope, this isn't strange at all. Or gay. So it's totally fine. It's totally nothing.]


Yeah, it would be! [There's silence after that, as Luke just enjoys the presence. It's kind of strange. He could've sworn that he usually, metaphorically, has one eye open and one ear out any time he's touching Asch in such a way, whether it's a hug or accidentally falling asleep on him. If Asch tensed or moved to shove him, Luke wanted to move before it could connect. But now? Now, he's just relaxed. It's nice. The company is nice.]

I can't believe I used to hate this place. The ocean, I mean.

So what is your idea of fun?
