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.]

feed her
[He twirls the pen in his fingers idly before smiling at her.]
No, not unless one thinks of a journal as a letter to themselves. It helps me to keep my thoughts in order.
she must c o n s u m e
Perhaps it's just as important to communicate with yourself as it is with others.
[ That comes out sounding a little like someone trying their best to be faux philosophical but Violet says it so earnestly it's impossible to read it as anything other than wholehearted sincerity. ]
I've never considered keeping one for myself, though...
no subject
It may be worth the effort, if only to keep your skills sharp. Writing to oneself can be both harder and easier than writing to someone else, in some ways.
no subject
[ Not for lack of trying, of course. Bless your heart, Luculia. ]
I was sure that during my time here, someone would request my services, but as of yet, I have yet to hear from a single client. No one has any need to send letters, so it seems.
no subject
[No sense in writing what you can't send.]
As for myself... There is only one person I think I would consider writing to, and that is... A letter I would have to pen for myself, should I ever decide to write it.
[He glances briefly down at his journal.]
no subject
Who is it you would wish to address a letter to?
[ She won't know if she doesn't ask, after all. ]
no subject
My brother.
[His hand has found its way to his scarf again.]
no subject
Have you been unable to reach him during previous attempts?
shit i missed this yesterday sorry
Not her fault. It just hurts.]
It's not so simple as that, I'm afraid.
no subject
[ She's so straightforward and frank in asking that anyone would be forgiven for mistaking her for rude. But her eyes are wide and sincere as her face, as always, passive and without judgement. ]
no subject
[These are things he says completely without any acknowledgement of how weird or tragic they might sound.]
- I think that it's very possible that his heart is so twisted, now, that it may be closed forever. Not only to me, but to anyone.
no subject
I understand.
[ She's quiet for a moment, like she's not sure of how – or even if – she wants to voice this next thought. ]
... I think... if you were to write him a letter, though, then your feelings would have a chance of reaching him.
