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

[Action]

[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.)]

[Natalia is in her own pretty little ensemble, the one that one of the characters in this weird game called Tales of the Abyss mentioned he might 'cry' if he saw her in.

She's laughing, clearly oblivious to whoever is around as she watches a pair of birds flutter over her head, a brightly colored flower resting in her hair--her eyes shining. It might be the first time since anyone has seen her that she has looked so happy.

Oh and she's headed your way Asch.]
meritocracy: (♔how quickly i'm learning)

i'm legit choking

[personal profile] meritocracy 2012-02-18 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[Natalia pauses, blinking as the person near her right field of vision suddenly stumbles back. She twists, the blue wrap around her hips swaying in the breeze as she tilts her head, slightly obscured by the sunlight.

BOY LOOK AT DAT BODY I WORK OUT. ]


Asch? [her eyes crinkle as she opens her mouth to greet him before she pauses]
What is what?
meritocracy: (♔a looking glass so shiny and new)

maybe i don't need air

[personal profile] meritocracy 2012-02-18 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Goodness, Asch! You look ill! [Natalia just..doesn't see the problem and is going to walk over to you and place a hand on your forehead, hello boobs]

And you need to calm down! Are you overheated?
meritocracy: (♔it wasn't all that easy)

AKAI HOW DID YOU KNOW I WAS WEARIN PANTS..

[personal profile] meritocracy 2012-02-18 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm just what? Stop focusing on me to begin with, the real issue here is you! Come with me! You're going to sit down! [HI DRAGGING YOUR ARM TO SOME SHADE]
meritocracy: (♔this offering : we raise it up)

...starts crawling under the bed

[personal profile] meritocracy 2012-02-18 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Your face is redder than your hair am I honestly supposed to believe that?! [she snaps back, her own temper flaring as she all but moves one of the chair thingies for him to sit on, steps back and stares him down.]

What in Auldrant is wrong with you?
distressedude: (I'm a pretty cool guy.)

[personal profile] distressedude 2012-02-19 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Asch, you always look cranky, so Ion can't tell this crankiness apart from your usual crankiness...]

[But he still remembers what happened the last time they spoke to each other. Just as he remembers what happened shortly after that conversation when Dist decided to give him one that was even worse.]

[But hey, they can't let something like complete and utter humiliation over the journals keep them from being friends! Well, Ion wants to be friends at least. He's not holding his breath on whether Asch will considering him one any time soon. But regardless, he'll be headed over to him with a fruit in hand, already cut into two even shares and everything.]


Hello, Asch.
inkdrops: (Uh...)

[personal profile] inkdrops 2012-02-19 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Though she doesn't spot Asch immediately, Miyabi's scrounging along the beach, letting the waves lick at her bare feet as she draws a stick in the sand behind her. In her other hand, she's holding a cloth with cut up bits of fruit in it. Thankfully, she is not in a bathing suit, and instead a fitting ensemble of shorts and a long, fluttery top - made to look kind of like a dress.

It's just as she's putting a bite of fruit to her lips that she spies Asch...emerging from the water...in his full clothes.








Yep.]


A-Asch...?
fabrecation: (There's so much to say)

[personal profile] fabrecation 2012-02-19 07:42 am (UTC)(link)
[Someone just ate half of a nice, mild tasting fruit, and he kind of wants to share it with someone else. Someone he knows. Someone he cares about.

... Ah, there's one such person just chillaxin' on the beach. Luke grins and heads on over, especially humored to see Asch wearing a bathrobe, of all things.]


Hey, what's with that get-up? [Still, Luke feels so friendly towards Asch right now! He sits down by him and tilts his head curiously. Please, Asch, tell him why you're wearing that. He genuinely wants to know. He's your friend, and he wants to listen!]
inkdrops: (You're weird.)

[personal profile] inkdrops 2012-02-19 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[Pfft. Miyabi wasn't going to laugh, but after seeing how disgruntled he is, and after he said not to, Miyabi can't help how her lips turn upwards into a smile. She pops a piece of fruit into her mouth to keep from actually laughing at him, and holds up her hand as a sign of peace.

Sh-She's not saying anything! ...Not with a full mouth. Chew, chew, and swallow.]


As long as you're all right...I-I won't say anything. [Snerk.] Do you need a towel?
distressedude: (So happy I could die and it's all right.)

[personal profile] distressedude 2012-02-20 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
[No, see, clearly that talk just made them closer since they now understand the same pain or something! ...or something. Who knows.]

Do I need a reason? I saw you sitting over here and wanted to say hello. [And, just taking note of the fact that his hair is wet...] Did you just get back from taking a swim?
herotypical: [ social ; happy ; willow ] (✝ summer days drifting away)

[personal profile] herotypical 2012-02-20 02:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Swimming trunks are more in season, you know.

[ she couldn't help it. she had to say it. she sidles up next to him with a coconut-shell-beverage in her hand. ] Well. Sort of.
broji: (mechanics; over here!)

[personal profile] broji 2012-02-20 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ginji's been pretty content up until now to just sit on the sand and enjoy the nice weather, despite how out-of-season it must be for everyone else. But it's hard to miss his former employer sloshing through the waves. He doesn't remember him heading out there, and come to think of it, he really hasn't seen much of Asch since New Year's.]

[Which means Ginji is stumbling to his feet and loping over, waving an arm to try to get his attention.]


Mr. Asch!
inkdrops: (Glancing away)

[personal profile] inkdrops 2012-02-20 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[Poor Asch. He's even got some of that crap in his hair, too. Miyabi doesn't have a comb or anything on her, but she could at least help pick out the clumps if he'll allow. For now though, she just shrugs.]

I'm not sure, but it's nice, isn't it? [She smiles, and goes over to actually pluck some sea grass off of Asch with her free hand.] Everyone's enjoying the weather, and the beach looks beautiful with all these trees around. I wish I had my paint set with me.

[Don't mind her, she's just going to idly pluck off bits of seaweed and grass from your personage, Asch, looking cheerful and chipper.]
