1st Bark [Action] because who can read anyways journals are useless etc

[dogboy]

[With the influx of New Feathers, no one's probably noticed this boy rolling on the ground trying to bite his wings. In the snow. With only those bare amount of clothes. And failing. S'hard being a human.

Once he finds out he can't though, he's reduced to being cold and miserable and sticking by the edge of the forest near the school because he sees all these humans and does not want to interact with them, so obviously the best way to go about this is to wait until it's not so light outside and then go look for someplace warm. And to stay away from those people. Yes, perfect.

The journal's pretty much abandoned beside the tree he's pressing against in some effort of being warm there is a reason he has never gone any place cold in his canon and that is because he is 1. under-dressed for it and 2. from a tropical island. Good luck trying to talking to him or anything though, because he's pretty distrustful of anything remotely human.]

Comments

;u; they are but the traits you get from it (immune to crits and all) are so good

[dogboy]

[Let him just bask in this warmth for a minute before replying.]

All right. [Hamburg steak sounds delicious.]

oooh o: also lmao how important are guilds? going back and forth is a pain

[mythmaker]

[She will! She's not going to rush it, and she's plenty happy to sit there in peace and quiet before sliding her journal over, a standard page displayed.]

This is what my journal looks like. See all of these people? Those are messages from people in the village you can talk to.

if you want to keep your stats and all - including awakening level and friendship level - then very

[dogboy]

[... Looks kind of complicated.]

How're they just there?

sob well it's a rom on my 3DS so in theory I can change that at any time

[mythmaker]

They're actually at home or at work, Chien. See, if I want to say something to everyone, I use this journal...and the page updates for everyone else, no matter where they are. It's magic.

pfffft good luck man, my friend has it like that too and i use an emu...

[dogboy]

Magic can do that too? [He's only familiar with the kind used for fighting.]

That's... cool, I guess. But pretty weird.

i decided to level them all the way up for fun, pfff. didn't save, though.

[mythmaker]

I suppose. I come from a world without magic, you see...now that you're warm, though, maybe I should go back and look for your journal. What would you like to do, Chien?

ahhhh wow. that's cool.

[dogboy]

I'll keep your seat safe? [Would not want some stranger trying to take her seat and trying to talk to him. This means he'll cast dirty looks at anyone who comes by naturally.]

And your food too. When it comes around.

[mythmaker]

That would be very kind of you. I'll hurry back then, alright? It would be best if you had the journal, after all. You can look through mine if you'd like, while I'm gone.

[She stands and leaves, then, talking to the chef on duty before heading out to get the journal. It's a good twenty minutes before she returns, if Chien is still waiting for her.]

[ooc; sob I also wanted to thank you for talking ToI with me! No one else I know has played it, pff.]

[dogboy]

[Of course he'd still be waiting! He said he would, right? And he'll still be flipping back until he can't anymore, experimenting some and looking through different things and pressing different buttons but not... replying to anything like that or anything. Just being purely amazed by the voices and stuff that come out.

-- And eating, too, because the food's definitely come by now. How fucking delicious.]

[ooc: yes of course!! i will always talk ToI with people <3 i mean, it's kind of the least i can do in thanks to the people who got me into this canon.]

[mythmaker]

[The sound of a bell jingling against the door is the first sign that Azusa's returned. She lets out a sigh of relief, commenting to the chef on duty again about the weather before moving back to their table and holding out a journal for Chien to take. Hopefully, it's his, and not someone else's!]

Ah, I hope I didn't take too long, Chien! It was buried under the snow.

[And if he's tasted her soup and club sandwich, she really doesn't mind.]

[ooc; I need to pick it up again, I stopped after I decided to completely break the game and ran around at too high of a level.]

[dogboy]

[Just a nibble and a sip, he swears! And he'll look right up when he hears the bell ring, taking the journal from her and moving hers back to the other side.]

Not long, but your soup's not so hot anymore. Still good-- I mean, um, it should still be good though.

[Perfect cover up Chien.]

[ooc: pffffft I need to finish it myself... I'm not actually after the fight at Galpos, I'm stuck on it. Because Ber keeps tackling me.]

[mythmaker]

My, my, is it...? As long as it's still a little warm, it'll be fine.

[She really doesn't mind, she'll eat it anyways. She'll nibble on her sandwich while Chien eats or looks over his journal, whichever he likes.]

[ooc; oooh. It gets harder, then? sometimes it feels a little too easy, since I like, never have to use skills]

[dogboy]

[Oh, he's doing both at once, really. Utensils looked important to use so he's basically only using his fork to pick the meat up and chow down on it, but at least he's careful not to get anything on his journal while he flips through it.]

So it's all the same... I wonder if Lady Mathias knows about this kind of magic.

[ooc: yeah! his first fight was a breeze for me, as were most of them to that point, but he really got stronger for his second fight...]

[mythmaker]

I can't say for sure. It seems a lot of people from the same worlds end up here, so she might be here as well.

[She doesn't mind his lack of manners. She thinks it's a little cute, actually.]

[ooc; .../charges my DS. I'm only at the island that definitely isn't Japan.]

[dogboy]

[Heee. He's giddy at the thought of Lady Mathias being here as well, and he shuts the journal to focus on his meal.]

You really think so?!

[ooc: pffft the tombs are fun there, right?]

[mythmaker]

[A-ah...he doesn't want to get his hopes up too high.]

Ah, it's certainly possible, Chien, but she might still back in your world, too.

[dogboy]

[Oh. Hm. Well, at least the food's good. He'd have to tell her that. A-Along with everything else he'll learn too, of course! He's a good information gatherer. She'll definitely be pleased. She just has to be!]

She can, you know, turn up... Right? Like I did.

[mythmaker]

Yes, that's right. And from what I've been told, while you're here, it's like time isn't moving back home.

[Azusa is a slow eater, just like everything else, but she does seem to be enjoying her food...until.]

Do you want the second half of my sandwich, Chien?

[dogboy]

[He's about to ask about the freezing thing, having shoved the rest of the steak down his gullet, and seems surprised at her offer. Because he really is. Uh, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand and swallowing.]

I... can really have it? Why?

[mythmaker]

I guess I'm not as hungry as I thought at was...and besides, everything here is free, so if you ever need food or groceries...well, you won't have to worry about it.

[dogboy]

Oh. Uh, thanks then. I guess. [Whatever let's just. Dig into the sandwich. Yeah. Sneak glances at this kind woman. The only other one who'd helped him was Lady Mathias, but this one was a human..!]

... Hey, about that time freezy thing. Is it like, that exact moment? Like, I'd go back to... [being beat up by that group.] tendingto a few things?

[mythmaker]

It's nothing. Please enjoy. [She pauses, watching him eat and idly tending to her soup.]

I haven't experienced it myself, but yes, that's how I'm told it works. Chien, do you...like to read by any chance?

[dogboy]

[... Reading. He'd spit at the word if he didn't have a delicious sandwich in his mouth. So he just shakes his head, but he'll be quick to explain.]

Don't know what's going on in books. [Can't read, can't write.]

[mythmaker]

Ah, is that so...? [She doesn't want to assume that means he can't read, though, it's a bit vague.] There's a guide I can show you that explains everything, from the wars, to how the stores work, what's happened here...it's very thorough.

[dogboy]

[... Grrrrr. Reading.]

Sounds like a lot to know. I can get by without it though, I'm used to gathering information by word of mouth. [You are looking at a master Azusa.]
