ourhellhouse | tbh i'm just making an open post so i can do whatever here

[Futaba had texted Makoto earlier to see if she was busy and then asked her to come by Leblanc. After that, they made their way to the train station and then to a stationary store in Jinbocho.

Futaba looks over a stack of notebooks seriously, going back and forth between the options. One is rather plain, while another has a popular character on it.]

Hm... hmm! You know about school stuff, right? Which one? Which one would a high school student have?!

[ They don't really hang out-- not alone at least. Akira or Ann are usually present, the former moreso though the latter also.. moreso? At least recently ]

Oh uh-- hm.

[ She gazes over the row of stationary, eyes lingering just a little too long on the cute mascots. ]

Any of these would do, I'm not very particular about this sort of thing myself but-- I guess most girls pick something that they feel expresses their personality best?

[ A dangerous thing to say maybe. She was after all talking to a 15 year old genius who'd created what some people would consider a terrorist organization ]

Personality, huh...

[She grabs a black notebook and puts it in front of her face, hiding behind it. Then she pops out, like a jump scare in a horror movie except it's just Futaba.]

This one! It's black, just like my soul!!

[And she puts it back down, looking to Makoto once again.]

What kind of notebook do you use?

[ She doesn't really know how to respond but she's grateful that Futaba's into it at least -- this thing isn't a total, awkward, bust ]

I'm not really picky I guess? [ a familiar and long since out of style black and white mascot sits in her mind, but she doesn't dare mention him. ]

Oh how about this one? [ it's got a holographic UFO on the front, futaba likes things like that right? she's totally not trying to change the subject. ] It reminds me of you a little bit.

Ooooh!! Just like Necronomicon, right?

[Futaba takes the super cool holographic notebook in her hands, moving her head to see the image change.]

Notebook GET! If that's what we're going for, though... all your stuff must be super spiky!

[The first thing that Sorey might notice is that someone's poking him. With a staff. Repeatedly. While Sorey's asleep in the bed of whatever inn they're staying at, Mikleo's trying to get his attention.]

Hey. Wake up already. Just how many sheep did you count last night, oh gentle Shepherd?

[ The staff is swatted out of his face, once, then twice, a smile on Sorey's face as he drifts in between a state of wake and sleep.

Rolling over, Sorey gets a wack square in his temple and launches upwards from bed with a yell. ]

I-I'M A SHEPARD! MALEVOLENCE IS -

[ He stops mid-gesture, his arms outstretched as if pulling back a bow drop and he looks stunned for a second before he turns to Mikleo and looks mildly hurt. ]

M-Mikleo! Did you have to use the staff? We don't have anywhere to rush off too....

[His response gets a little laugh out of Mikleo. Hopefully, no human overhears him and gets worried the Shepherd's being attacked...]

Well, I tried calling out to you, but that didn't work. Anyways, Rose and the others already left. They said they were going to do some shopping around town.

[And Lailah looked way too happy when she said it'd be just him and Sorey.]

But you might want to rethink your sleep fighting techniques. I don't know how well armatizing with me will work when I'm your opponent, Sorey.

Edited 2017-06-29 05:17 (UTC)

[ He feels his face heat up a little despite his earlier indignation, it must have been really late if Rose and everyone had left. ]

Who said I was armatizing with-

[ The protest dies on his lips when he remembers it's only when he and Mikleo are together that he uses a bow.

He closes his eyes and sighs, accepting defeat at the hands of his best friend humbly. ]

Sorry Mikleo. I guess it's taking more out of me than I thought it would.

[ He rubs the back of his neck as he quietly admits his exhaustion.

It's everything not, just armatizing. The constant travelling, fighting malevolence, the new responsibilities that came with being a visible symbol...it was easy to explore ruins and wish for different future than it was to be a part of it.

His face returns to being smiles as he steps out of bed and stretches.]

I'm glad you stayed behind. I probably would have assumed something bad had happened and burst into the dining area in my underwear.

Edited 2017-06-29 06:47 (UTC)

I know. I mean, I don't know what it's like being the Shepherd, but- I know you, Sorey.

[Always wanting to do the right thing, always believing in humanity... and having to accept that not everyone feels the same way.]

You're lucky that I was the one who stayed then. Edna volunteered first, you know.

[And they both know how that would've gone.]

[ He gives Mikleo a fond look. All the Seraphim (-and Rose) have become such an essential part of his journey, but there is no doubt in his mind he wouldn't have held up half as well without Mikleo's familiar presence by his side to remind him of the dream that drove them both. ]

You don't have to keep trying to prove yourself when it's just us, I know you're capable! I never doubted it. But, If you were the Shepard and I was the Seraph you'd feel the same way I did.

[ He still is kinda nervous.
But the more pressing and easily imagined fantasy situation of Edna crushing him to death or making creative use of her umbrella takes forefront and he grimaces. ]

Uh...haha, I guess I really owe you one. If I treat you and we catch up to Rose and the others can we call it even?

Hmph. I'm not trying to prove anything...

[He pouts, muttering to himself. He hates how Sorey can be like this... Some days he'll see right through him and other days he's as observant as a rock.]

You always treat. I mean, I doubt there's a merchant or barkeep anywhere that would take money from a seraph. But you're hungry after sleeping for so long, aren't you?

Well, you fooled because you sure are acting like it!

[ Well, there's the rock. He gently bumps his shoulder into Mikleo's as he leads the way out of the inn.

Sorey gives a wave to the young man sweeping in the entrance way before making a tossing motion at him with the key Rose had left for them. The young man is a little bit younger than Sorey and they they match impish grins as he let's the broom fall to the floor to catch the key Sorey pitches him. ]

Just consider it making up for all you did in Elysia.

[ The young man stares at Sorey in confusion, but Sorey doesn't notice. Seeing Seraphim is something he probably won't ever remember is an abnormal and unique skill. ]

So! Catch up with Rose or investigate what a blood pudding is first?

[ Whenever the two of them find themselves, it's not their world. But, it's not entirely different. There are trees everywhere that dwarf the human frame, roots running miles long and moss covering growing around the bright patches of light that stream in through branches.

It's ancient, warm and dream like, so naturally Sorey is right at home.

He jumps down from the root overlooking the one Velvet stands on and almost trips the landing, but that doesn't seem to deter him from smiling at her. ]

Hey! I didn't think there was anyone else alive here!

[Laphi. It's the first thought she has when she opens her eyes, the first thought she's had in a long time. She can't feel his presence, but... she doesn't sense malevolence either. Wherever this is, her connection to Innominat isn't necessarily at risk. Still, she can't linger for too long either.

When the boy calls out to her, she rolls her eyes.]

Who are you.

[Mikleo watches as the broom falls, knowing he could easily catch it. But that'd end up causing more of a stir than they needed. He's well used to it, but it's frustrating how humans will fear anything they don't know, even someone helping them.]

Careful. All the legends in the next Celestial Record might just be about the Shepherd talking to air.

[It's said teasingly, but he's seen the way some people look at Sorey. Monster... they called him. Still, those thoughts are shoved away in favor of BLOOD!]

Wait, you don't think it's actually made with blood, right...? I bet it's just pudding with something red in it.

[ He doesn't notice the eye roll, call it selective looking. ]

Sorey! I'm a Shepard. -and if you don't know what that is I'm probably more lost than I think I am....

[ He laughs lightly, but deep down he's starting to feel a little worried. Even calling out true names wasn't enough to bring anyone to his side again. ]

I've been here....about a day I think. When did you get here?

A Shepherd? Who the hell do you think you are?!

[Her pissed off demeanor quickly shifts into a more offensive stance.]

Artorius Collbrande is dead! The world doesn't need another Shepherd!

[Sorry about your question, Sorey, but she doesn't care.]

If anyone is going to write about me, it'll probably be you or Rose and I know you wouldn't let her write anything too mean.

[ The thought of Mikleo outliving him is something he's thought about. Something they used to talk about when they were younger and the concept of them living out natural lifespans was more likely. He still won't entertain the idea that Mikleo's existence could be consumed just as easily as his now, by combat or corruption.

Pudding is easier to talk about. ]

Mmmhm. They probably just named it that to keep kids from sticking their fingers in before dinner.

[ He grin. ]

But we won't know until we try. Are you in, Meebo?

Edited 2017-06-30 02:34 (UTC)

[ He's immediately taken aback by her strange response. He's had humans and Seraphim alike react to him negatively, but never like this. ]

Uh, someone who purifies malevolence?

[ He tilts his head, trying to parse exactly what she's getting at or where she's from, her outfit is...weird, it doesn't give him many clues. If only Mikleo were here to bounce ideas off of. ]

Are you...planning on fighting me? I don't really want to fight someone I just met, but the world needs be right now! -and not many people can see the Seraphim anymore so I'll defend myself if I have too. I'm sorry if you feel like I'm replacing someone else, but I promised I would take on the burden for the sake of a better future.

Do you even know what malevolence is?

[As furious as she is, she asks him earnestly. For now, she doesn't strike. Not yet.]

I'd kill you where you stand if I thought you actually knew what you're talking about. Tell me, what sort of world are you fighting for? And why have you taken on his title?

I don't know. Mayvin will probably write something, and who knows... he might just take first person accounts.

[Random worker at random inn probably won't be at the top of his list, though. But Mikleo honestly can't imagine a world without Sorey... He's known since they were kids and the difference between them is greater than ever, but it's still not something he wants to face. So, pudding it is.]

Don't call me that! You'll just encourage her, you know! But yeah, I'll try it. If there is blood in it, though... I guess we could give it to one of Dezel's mutts. Well, not me, obviously.

[ He takes a step backwards from the strange woman and puts a hand on his sword, brows furrowed in confusion and his stance mirroring the same tension in Velvet's. ]

It's the impure and malevolent feelings of humanity that creates hellion.

[ In spite of everything, he feels no anger towards Velvet just a deep desire to understand why in the world she seems so angry with the Shepards.

He thinks of Laliah, and Mikleo, and Rose, and the first time Alisha stumbled on Elysia.

He squares his shoulders. ]

I became a Shepard to protect people. I fight for a future where Seraph and Human can co-exist and see each other, be friends...I want to stop anyone else from becoming the next Lord of Calamity. I want a world where we don't have to fear the malevolence ever again.

It's true that the real Shepherd had the power to purify malevolence. He created a new world according to his ideals. A world without malevolence, a world without war, a world without imperfection. But do you realize what that world looks like? What would happen to humanity without malevolence?

Imagine a life without pain. There's no sadness or anger, and no hatred certainly. But there's no happiness either. No love. No hope. That is what the Shepherd's purpose is. To rid the world, human, daemons, malakhim, to rid us all of free will. But that's all in the name, isn't it?

I am the Lord of Calamity. And I killed the Shepherd. If you're foolish enough to follow in his footsteps, I won't hesitate to stop you.

[ He laughs and shrugs his shoulders as he leads them towards the outskirts, the town gives way to dotted tanners and meat business. ]

If it's Mayvin then we don't have to worry, I trust him too. -and once people can see Seraphim again they'll just look like the goofy ones!

[ Sorey turns on his heel to face Mikleo properly instead of just talk at at him. ]

I'm not gonna spend money on something we're just gonna feed to dogs...

[ A pause. ]

Are you going to tell me whats bothering you or is it my fault again?
