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?
[menacing]
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.]

[Well...that at least made sense. They both hand a hangup or two, where that was concerned.]
I don't use it anymore. I still have it--at least I presume I do--but I haven't utilized it since we had our powers returned to us. I don't think I could unless there were no other option.

[It's a good thing. That there are other people in the world that are concerned for Ardyn's well-being, and that he actually listens to them now.]

[That is, about as well as the Citadel.]
It doesn't matthow you try to justify it, Ardyn. It still hurts. I'm still angry. If you care about making it better, then stop doing the same thing and trying to hide things from your family - whoever it is you decide to include in that.
no subject
[Ardyn sighed, running a hand through his hair.]
...I’m trying. I’ve never really lied to any of them, and on the rare occasions I haven’t been completely honest I’ve always come forward about it and apologized. I don’t keep secrets from them and we rely on each other when we need to. I’m not that self-sacrificing idiot anymore, or at least I don’t want to be.
no subject
[Izunia sighs, and shakes out his scarf again.]
Good. I'll have to see it a bit more to really believe it, but... good.
no subject
I just...want to live. I want the same for everyone I care about.
no subject
[Hufffffff.]
...Living's a lot less terrible with people beside you.
cw: suicidal ideation
cw: suicidal ideation also
I didn't have any will to live again until my daughter was born. That's why I named her Aurora.
[His little dawn, ending that night of grief that he could never tell her of.]
It's hard and sometimes I still wonder if it was worth it. I'm happier here than I think I have been since we were children.
cw: suicidal ideation continued
...It started as a stupid joke, you know. An offhand comment after a minor disaster that was hilariously stupid at the time. I told Leonard something to the effect of him having practically been Shield of the King with a group of retainers to match, and the imbecile immediately ran with it. It was just a stupid joke because I knew we were all a band of idiots, but from then on I couldn't talk him out of taking it seriously.
So now here I am, with a set of Glaives who make me happier than I ever remember having been in two millennia. They're the whole reason I'm alive right now, in more ways than one.
Re: cw: suicidal ideation continued
[It's quiet for a moment.]
...I never even had one. Gilgamesh was always yours - even now history remembers that he left even if they don't know why.
[Another thing that he hasn't been letting himself be angry over, but it's not Ardyn's fault that his Shield thought it would be better to leave in disgust instead of giving any support at all to the remaining twin.]
no subject
I-...was able to talk to him, not all that long ago. Multiverse nonsense, it's complicated.
no subject
[He's tired but he's also still mad.]

But he was also the only friend I had at that point. So I'm not going to stop being angry no matter what justifications there are, and you of all people have no right to criticize that.
no subject
I'm saying that any problem you have with Gilgamesh is one you have with me.
