one day the light of love, though it may seem far away

Who: Grandpa Sleepy and you!
What: Izunia has some projects catchall!
When: Late march and a couple days into April
Where: vvvvvarious
Warnings: None YET

March 28-April 3, daylight; space between the station and the lighthouse

[Sticking out in his black coat against the outline of the roof, here's Izunia -

And then he suddenly isn't, with an impressive throw of a greatsword that's nearly his own height spinning through the air. It embeds in the ground, kicking up sand, and he follows in a flash of blue before it vanishes. And then again, straight up into the air - and back down with an explosion of sand.

Or perhaps you catch him with a series of... cards? floating in an array around him, before he suddenly sets one to spinning and conjures a burst of water or ice from the ground. Or, rapier in hand, setting fire to the blade in a... mostly controlled manner. Ignore the singed grass.

Either way, it's clear that he's practicing - putting his abilities on full display for probably the first time, aside from that fateful seagull fight. And perhaps a sparring buddy wouldn't be out of the question...?]


April 4th, east laundry, afternoon

[Well, it's not a total mess. But a keen eye will spot Izunia at one of the sinks - for once, sans scarf. In fact, sans shirt entirely. The reason why is clear in what he's bent over - a bit of dark metallic blue dye and a teeshirt that used to be entirely white. Clearly, he didn't want to risk the rest of his clothes getting stained.

And, well, he was right to be worried, considering that there's a streak of the blue dye running up his forearm to the elbow from where he mistakenly leaned it against the edge of the sink as he works. Also, there's that tattoo on his chest - a flock of crows, indeed, an entire murder, flying away from a series of cracks directly over his heart.]


I suppose I should have done a test run, first...

April 4-5th, late evening/early night

[And once the shirt is finished and hung up to dry securely in his room (and a towel streaked with the dye that mostly came off his arm), Izunia settles himself back in the kitchen again. There's the smell of something in the oven - cheese? garlic? - and while he waits for it to finish, he sets with a notebook at one of the bench-style tables. There's an array of sketches (mostly, now, people around the station), a deck of what seems to be metal playing cards, an empty fountain pen, and directly in front of him, a journal written in neat handwriting...

...Completely in what someone from Earth would recognize as Latin. And unlike the majority of writing around the station, this doesn't seem to want to translate if you sneak a peek.

Good luck sneaking up on Izunia, though, because chances are he hears you and closes the notebook when you approach. There's that usual smile in place, but it seems a bit emptier than usual.]


Good evening.

And also the usual places at the usual times

[If those projects don't interest you, perhaps you've caught him somewhere having a nap, or out on the viewing deck some sunrise or sunset? Strange as he is, even he has a routine.]

I'll make a quiz just for you.

Well, I'm in favor of any plan that results in less impalement. On professional grounds, among others.

[ She's quiet for a moment, waiting for him to elaborate. But when it's clear that he doesn't seem to intend to, at least not without prompting, Violet settles herself down carefully at the table opposite him. ]

Who is it you would wish to address a letter to?

[ She won't know if she doesn't ask, after all. ]

That’s a recurring problem?

[He tilts his head, curious and a smidge confused.]

Why’s.. [He glances at the shirt to get the name.] Ardyn so stab-worthy?
dubiouslychthonic: (you did not just say that)

[personal profile] dubiouslychthonic 2018-04-09 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well that's concerning. Jetshard is concerned.]

Someone I should be aware of?
newlawtolight: (buzz in the air)

[personal profile] newlawtolight 2018-04-09 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I see. So what did you do, if I may ask?
dubiouslychthonic: (distracted)

[personal profile] dubiouslychthonic 2018-04-09 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Still. I haven't survived as long as I have by not being aware of what sort of fire my friends are likely to draw.

I guess it would, wouldn’t it.

[He piles the laundry on the side, to be dealt with at a later time.]

You were a King, right? Does that mean your brother was, too...like that. [He sounds a little uneasy- not so much in approaching the subject but in the very concept of it.] What happened there?
dubiouslychthonic: (sulky)

[personal profile] dubiouslychthonic 2018-04-09 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ok yeah that's. That's a lot all at once.

It takes her a moment to realize he's done.]


...I can see where the entire civilization getting caught in the crossfire on an attempted extractermination would leave some people inclined to stab first and ask questions later, yes.

[Another half-beat, as she tries to figure out how to put what she wants to say next.]

I'm sorry. That that happened to your household. Infectious disease rarely inspires well-advised choices in anyone.

[personal profile] newlawtolight 2018-04-10 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
I see. Ah, I've never had to really worry about that, myself. My clothing is always as I wish it to be. Humans are so fickle in comparison.

[personal profile] newlawtolight 2018-04-10 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I do agree that humans are utterly fascinating. Their ability to change, their way to define and develop their own Destiny...

[There is a quiet, distant, wistful tone on her lips.]

With a human you will never meet the same kind twice. All of them present so differently when you take the time to watch them.

It’s not such a bad thing that you were, right?

[Not that what happened to Ardyn was good by any means, but Izunia seems like he’d be a good enough ruler- at least to Astolfo.]

How did something like that happen to him, though?

[It's not on the same scale, but Alternia has more than its share of microorganisms that will kill a troll nastily or bring them back wrong.

(She's run the necessary blood tests recently and knows she's in no danger. Thinking about it makes her want to do it again. She won't, because she won't let it run her life more than it already does.)

Jetshard thinks she understands, a little at least, but she has no idea what to say other than what she's already said:]


I'm sorry.



If you need a moment, I can go.
