and the hope of morning

Who: Izunia and you! And a kitty. (First prompt closed to Ardyn)
What: TWIN FIGHT TWIN FIGHT and general catchall. And a kitty.
When: Twinfight: Morning of Tues the 1st. Everything else, whenever whenever after that.
Where: The beach; around the Station
Warnings: All the hecking warnings on the twinfight.

Closed to Ardyn

[It takes some time to find his brother; as a result, people might see Izunia doing the "think murder and walk" thing for a half an hour or so around the Station before he concludes that Ardyn isn't there and heads elsewhere. Those with a careful eye will notice more than just his stance being different; he's clean-shaven and decked out in full black coat and boots, including a black tricorn hat with an impressive plume and a bird skull of some sort attached to it. If the growing heat of the mid-to-late morning bothers him, it's hard to tell.

Those who are more used to the casually-dressed, laid-back man usually seen around the Station could well be surprised to see this side of him. Today, the Founder King walks.

And so it is eventually out of the Station that he roams, and there spots the figure down on the beach from the cliffside. A thrown dagger hits the sand, leaving behind it the blue trail of a very long warp, and Izunia plucks it from the sand before crossing the last few yards to his brother.]


Ardyn. If you have some time, might I have a word?

May 2-4, aka the Heat Wave, around the Station

[Come the heat wave itself, however, Izunia is dressed at least a little more practically for the weather, though still in teeshirts and black pants. He can be found in all his usual places - the low-numbers kitchen, the deck, and the library - during the day, as well as sitting in the Annex underlevel on a blanket to enjoy the breeze in the cooler underground cavern. He's not completely immune to heat, only mostly.

Those who hang around the outside of the station at night, when things have cooled off a little more, will find him either on the deck still or out on the sand behind the stables, working with some sort of light magic as he turns it into different colors from his usual blue, and, eventually, into the shapes of letters and simple symbols. It seems like he's having quite a bit of fun, at least.]


Also May 2-4, also around the Station but more common room/kitchens/his room

[What's that sound? What's that flash in the corner of your eye?

It's a cat - the size of a full grown feline already, though her proportions mark her as not yet an adult - with a dark blue collar and a ringing bell.

And she is having the zoomies around the residential floor after escaping her dad's room. Nyoom, off she goes!

Or perhaps you're sitting in the kitchens or the common room when she finally wears herself out a bit, and you've been approached for Pettings, Please. Or perhaps you have food. Or perhaps your shoelaces have just become her new toy in place of randomly zooming around.

However it is you encounter this fluffy little monster, you can be sure that Izunia is not too far behind, led by the sound of her bell.]


May 5th, Night

[Once the heat wave breaks, it's finally time to make use of one of the Station's new features. With all the windows open to the breeze and the sound of the storm, Izunia is sprawled out in the hot tub in a pair of black trunks and nothing else. The way his head is tipped back, it's easy to mistake him for asleep, but the sound of someone else arriving makes him glance in the direction of the door. It's still fairly easy to tell him apart from Ardyn, though, if you know what to look for - blue eyes, still clean-shaven, and a black tattoo on his chest, the majority of it blurred by the bubbling water except for the two crows flying highest in the direction of his neck.]

Evening.

I didn't think so. They're not usually pets. But... Good at finding food. ...Sometimes too good.

[see: the night before that potluck in november, where lee found him face first in turkey guts.]
cyclicalconcept: (this is just awkwardly awesome)

[Chirp! Yes plz.]

He likes having my attention, and gets very sullen if I'm not attending to him all the time. But I'll make it up to him by taking him to the greenhouse!

[A meow at the word greenhouse.]

He likes the flowers there.

[take him there meeeee-now]
burninglight: (and the darkness overcome)

[Ardyn froze immediately under the hand wrapped around his forearm, with a stare so distant to match that it must have seemed for a moment as if he wasn't listening at all. Once Izunia let go he pulled his arm closer to his chest, and after a short silence:]

...I don't want you involved. It's not yours to have any hand in dealing with.
burninglight: (slipping through the cracks)

[personal profile] burninglight 2018-05-11 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
Don't. Don't lecture me on what you think I have or haven't learned from. You have no idea how I've seen my idiotic self-sacrifice destroy the people I love.
burninglight: (suddenly i see that i can't break free)

[personal profile] burninglight 2018-05-11 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
I already said I didn't want you involved. Why can't you just stay out of it?
burninglight: (choosing hope when hope seemed lost)

[personal profile] burninglight 2018-05-11 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
I've already done enough fucking up and I don't want your help!
burninglight: (slipping through the cracks)

[personal profile] burninglight 2018-05-11 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
Care if you will, but you're not shoving your way back into my life until I'm ready to accept it. I have every right to make that decision for myself, if nothing else.
burninglight: (slipping through the cracks)

[personal profile] burninglight 2018-05-11 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
...I don't know if there will be a time when I can. But if there is, pushing like this is only going to make that chance end up disappearing.

May 1st, lunch

[personal profile] photoshooter 2018-05-11 08:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Apparently, Prompto was working in the tech lab when he got Izunia's message, because here he comes with grease smudged on his face and that oversized tent of a T-shirt (now relieved of its sleeves) and a yellow ball of fluff at his heels.]

What happened? What'd you deck him for? Are you okay?
photoshooter: (DOUBLE TAKE 📷 Eh?)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2018-05-11 09:36 am (UTC)(link)
[The next dozen questions dry up the second Prompto notices the carrier. Here he comes to peer in, a respectful distance from the grate.]

What's this? You got a pet?

[Ardyn can wait, we have priorities here in Keystone station. Soft gasp.]

Kitty...!

[personal profile] photoshooter 2018-05-11 11:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Izunia can wait, too, because we continue to have priorities at Keystone station. Prompto kneels so he's at eye level with the kitten, arms crossed on the tabletop under his chin, and smiles with his eyes closed so he won't be so threatening.]

Aw, hey there, cutie. Is that a yummy lunch? Dude, she's so fluffy...
photoshooter: (EUGH 📷 THAT'S your plan?)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2018-05-11 11:31 am (UTC)(link)
Heh. She likes her food.

[Prompto stays like that a while, watching happy kitty eat with his cheek in his elbow before suddenly remembering he came down here for a reason.]

So why did you clobber Ardyn? What'd he even do?
