I would not regret it for my own sake...

[ She slows when he does, feeling the fade out of the music. ]

As things stand today, another year or another after that may be exactly the same in my life. However, if some part of your lives here can be changed with my aid, I would be remiss in returning a favor shown to me. In this way, perhaps things will change for all of us in unforeseen ways.

[ She raises his hands up and touches them together, in lieu of a gentler squeeze that he wouldn't have been able to feel. And hey, she's smiling. ]

I wouldn't know all of them, but I've spoken to at least a handful of new gods and shinki who've encountered him and run into the same attitude. [So while it's not a very thorough start, it does at least indicate that it's more than just Shun having this problem.]

I've never met a new god or shinki who was anything better than neutral towards him.

[For a moment, Davesprite looks a little bit surprised - it seems like a far length to go to for someone like him, considering how badly he thinks of himself and feels like everyone else should think of him too. But then it strikes him once more what Orihime's existence must have been like, and he ruffles his wings up a little before giving a deceptively casual, but still somewhat bitter smile.]

I dunno how many people you've met who just kinda hate themselves, Orihime, but one big gesture doesn't usually fix the problem. I appreciate the thought, though.

[It does sound true, at least. He's not trying to shrug off her concern, he just knows it isn't going to be that easy.]
nibelungvalesti: (what?!)

[personal profile] nibelungvalesti 2018-03-19 02:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Grim? Was that grim? She did not recognize it as such...]

[She shrugs mildly, agreeing with his suggestion for lack of any other idea as to what she ought to be doing.]
Very well, let us proceed. Do you know where they are to be found?
pure_radiantics: (convo] giggle)

[personal profile] pure_radiantics 2018-03-20 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
[She laughs a little.]

I know he was drinking, because he told me that we couldn't toast if I had water in my glass. So I went and got some punch before we toasted.

[She was entertained by the information, rather than frustrated.]

Oh! Well I am glad that more gods and shinki are friends these days. I know my goddess and I are. I can understand being concerned about your god, then. I hope you find him, Lancer.

[Kairi's mood does pick up at that point.]

How about... when you surprise me with a hat, we can start planning the sleepover? By then I should be able to take care of some things I've been meaning to catch up on, and can focus on making the party really special!

And then the sleepover can have some of those crafts, too!

[It's a neat idea, different from the previous sleepover too, which was focused on aesthetics of the traditionally-female variety.]
pure_radiantics: (convo] proud of you)

[personal profile] pure_radiantics 2018-03-20 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
[ It's moments like this that Kairi recalls Hibiki isn't all dramatic flourishes for her own sake. Somewhere under it all, she can still do good for others. Sometimes Hibiki is a little Much to deal with, but then there's the subdued times like this. ]

Will you be sitting with your shinki for our meal?

[ She wonders where Hibiki will escort her to as they head inside - to her own seat beside her shinki, or towards Forrest or Hajime. ]
pure_radiantics: (convo] uhm)

[personal profile] pure_radiantics 2018-03-20 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
Oh...

[That makes her so much older than she'd originally thought - in the sense that...]

Or like a goddess, right?

[That's what it sounds like to her. That Celestia was already basically immortal even before coming to the Far Shore.]
pure_radiantics: (convo] huh... let me think about that.)

[personal profile] pure_radiantics 2018-03-20 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
... I thought that sounded like a strong sense of justice, personally. As long as you got to relax afterwards with something else.

[ It's a mutual feeling, really. Mikleo was home to him. It was a feeling that he had gotten right away when they'd met here. He felt like he belonged near him. Funny, isn't it? They never had to partner up, and there was always that chance that they wouldn't have run into one another. But, here they were.

Still, he isn't asking for Mikleo to remember. He knows the risk of it. He's just happy to be by his side - just like this.

And, really... They've made precious memories here together, haven't they? They're helping people. He might not be the shepherd here, but he's in another role where he feels like he's fulfilling his dream in another way entirely. There's always new sights to see and things to explore. ]


... Yeah. Though, someone told me I should tell you as soon as I could. [ It... really wasn't that easy, though. ]
pure_radiantics: (convo] all smiles)

[personal profile] pure_radiantics 2018-03-20 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods.]

I really think so.
pure_radiantics: (convo] mild surprise)

[personal profile] pure_radiantics 2018-03-20 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
Kinder? No way! Then you'd never have any fun at all! What kind of life is that?

[That sounds horrible to her, without reading his thoughts.]

And besides... a little step on the foot isn't going to seriously hurt me! I'm tough!

[She gives him a grin. She's not as tough as him, of course, but she's tough enough is what she means, not to have her entire life ruined by her foot getting stepped on or getting bumped into or similar in just one dance with him.]
pure_radiantics: (convo] worried about you)

Re: Futaba

[personal profile] pure_radiantics 2018-03-20 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
Mmm... okay.

[She knows that not everyone is going to be open with her, like insta-friend level the way she is with others, but she can't help but worry.]

I hope things work out for you, then.
pure_radiantics: (convo] I'd like that.)

[personal profile] pure_radiantics 2018-03-20 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
[She grabs both of his hands, not in any particular dance position, just excited to be close to him again.]

Absolutely! It's one of my dreams...

[She is so excited he's the type who wants to dance with her.]
pure_radiantics: (convo] uhm)

[personal profile] pure_radiantics 2018-03-20 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
They were pretty nice! It was the local spirits that weren't! They bothered my brother and took some of his stuff. I had to trick them to get his stuff back for him.

[Even if he was gone, Kairi was still bitter about that.]

And the new temples were so big - both my god's and the other gods' too! The ones I visited, anyway.
pure_radiantics: (moves] hand in hair)

[personal profile] pure_radiantics 2018-03-20 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
[She shakes her head.]

No, I haven't tried it with other Soulless Shinki yet. I've only just now done it enough times with Joy that I figured it wasn't some strange accident - you know, like when a bunch of us became younger or older? I thought maybe it was like that, at first.
reformedsinner: (closer look)

[personal profile] reformedsinner 2018-03-20 12:08 pm (UTC)(link)
It still might be a strange accident, or something that's happened to her in particular.

Or you, for that matter.

[Slowly, looking genuinely disturbed, Hakkai shakes his head.]

If nothing else, I have to admit it strikes me as proof of just how much unlike the real gods and shinki we are.

Re: Marinette

[personal profile] doodlebuginette 2018-03-20 01:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I think that's an amazing idea! It'll give me time to come up with a brilliant design and figure out how to make it happen. I'm actually looking forward to it - the planning, and the sleepover itself.

[She's smiling at that, because it feels like forever since she's done anything so normal.]

That sounds like a lot of fun.
letteropener: (chatting away)

[personal profile] letteropener 2018-03-20 01:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I do not know if that is entirely fair. From everything I have seen in the Far Shore, the gods are both far less present and far less active than I ever was. Here, I am Inti, goddess of the sun, but I have yet to actually so much as nudge the sun along in the sky! Whereas in Equestria, I did that every morning.

[So more like a very physical goddess.]

[personal profile] yoshinocherry 2018-03-20 01:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[The movements are easy enough to follow, and Yuna lets out a light, airy laugh as the two dance.]

This is good, definitely good. [Nice, easy, fun!] It feels like ages since I've been able to do anything like this.

[And here, she breaks her hold of one of Kairi's hands, raising up her other arm in a prompt for the other girl to give a twirl.]
mithrarin: (frown)

[personal profile] mithrarin 2018-03-20 01:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Right. That's the thing. I was never supposed to be able to relax.
priforprince: (cutest)

[personal profile] priforprince 2018-03-20 01:53 pm (UTC)(link)
And CelePara Talent Agency. [ Hibiki keeps her eyes up at first, scanning the crowd for signs of them - or Forrest. Forrest first, then her court. Er. Talent agency. Same thing, yes?

But then she looks down at Kairi and winks. ]
Were you inviting me?

[ When her lashes touch, there is a "twinkle" sound effect. Of its own accord. ]
nibelungvalesti: (considering a thing)

[personal profile] nibelungvalesti 2018-03-20 01:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I do not understand such things... but I am told they are good to have, and I must admit it is better to be at this dance with someone familiar rather than by myself, so perhaps that is the evidence.

[Now she's thoughtful and introspective, her gaze lowered as she contemplates.]

[He smiles back, leading her into a spin.]

Then feel free to stop by and visit.
clothes_make_the_man: (big blush smile)

[personal profile] clothes_make_the_man 2018-03-20 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[Forrest smiles, leaning in for a kiss before draping his arms loosely around her neck. She did say she wanted to lead this time, after all.]

All right... ready when you are.
