skycutter: (Have a vague haunting mass appeal)
Hope Estheim ([personal profile] skycutter) wrote in [community profile] thenearshore2016-08-09 08:15 am

[open]

Who: Hope and YOU.
What: Some angst over the loss of his shinki/a friend (he's not good at coping with that stuff), and random encounters.
When: April 11 and onwards, at least until the new event.
Where: Around the Far Shore and the Near Shore.
Warnings: FF-style angst but other than that, none.


OPTION A
[If there are trees around, one can expect to see a small, white-haired god running about in them, milling in them, even sitting on the branches if they can carry his weight. Though even if he's of short stature, he may still catch someone's eye because of how exactly he gets around up there-- by letting his powers do the work for him. For a second his body turns into light and the figure jumps, and he loses the special effects once he's got something solid under his feet.

Over and over again, though Hope doesn't bother with his abilities if the trees are just right next to each other. So yes, he might be turning a few heads here and there, and he will notice, turning to look. Not immediately, but eventually, unless he's called out to first.]


Oh... Am I trespassing?

Sorry. [He's not so enthusiastic about his apology however, even as he's swinging himself out of it and landing on his feet on the ground.]

OPTION B
[Okay, so sometimes Hope does more than just mope. Though what he does outside of that is... pretty damn nerdy.

See, the Near Shore has a lot of stuff some people just toss away even if they're still perfectly fine in Hope's opinion, like this electronic store with all the machines and phones and other items that someone could still use, but they just toss because no one wants them! And that someone is probably Hope, honestly.

He's already gathered up the stuff that don't look totally broken or ruined into a box, and now he's trying to lift the box. Keyword being try.

If he notes that someone is looking at him-- actually looking and seeing him, not just seeing through him like any resident of the Near Shore-- he might perk up a little.]


Hi, can you help me out here? [With the big box of stuff, he means.]

Closed to Slaine
[Maybe he's expecting this, maybe not, but Slaine will be getting a text message in the early morning anyway.]

Hi. Can we talk?

[As a naturally early riser, Slaine's already up...though he has to rummage through an assortment of books to locate his phone.

Having lost three gods, he's almost tacitly accepted they must have all vanished, but he knows this name and number... So he's still here after all. It takes him a moment to process that]


Of course. Do you mean like this, or do you want me to meet you somewhere?

I can get there. The architecture stands out from others I've seen, so I wouldn't mistake it for another place.

[Slaine pockets his phone and makes his way along. One benefit of having been reassigned a few times is that he's at least got a varied perspective of the Far Shore, what with having resided in various stretches over his brief tenure as a shinki.

It still takes him a while, since he lacks a god's capacity to move from one locale to another instantaneously, but Hope's temple comes into view eventually. As does Hope, he observes, and he offers a small wave as he approaches]


Sorry for the wait.

scrap_metal: (not pictured here - lost arm)

OPTION B, probably 11th afternoon

[personal profile] scrap_metal 2016-08-09 10:17 am (UTC)(link)
If the assistance is required. [ Genos picks up the box without problem. He can carry that thing with one hand to be honest. And Hope is not just a familiar face, but someone who introduced him to rules of this world on his first day. So yeah, he's going to help without complaining. ]

Isn't that just trash? [ He peeks into the box, and realizes that it's more fitting for a "used" shop rather than garbage-box ]
scrap_metal: (fashionable borg)

[personal profile] scrap_metal 2016-08-12 04:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Tinkering and stuff? [ Genos nods and corrects his grip on the box. One of his arms been acting weird recently, so just making sure to hold it with the working one ]

Lead the way. You're intending to get to Far Shore with all of this, or find some more first?

scrap_metal: (my electricity)

[personal profile] scrap_metal 2016-08-13 11:59 am (UTC)(link)
With ease. [ Genos nods, and lowers the box a bit. In case Hope wants to throw more stuff inside it, the access is much better now. ]

Maybe you'd need to check a very specific place to find books on them. Like library of engineering school is more likely to contain such books, than normal bookstore.

[Zoro is resting by the foot of a tree when he senses someone moving around, and then feels the tree branches shake. He hears a voice and looks up at the person, surprised to see a kid standing there.]

Don't worry, I don't think you've done anything wrong.

[He watches for a second, before sighing and sitting up.]

What's wrong, kid?
wadoichimonji: (annoyed)

[personal profile] wadoichimonji 2016-08-10 12:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I was trying to, but you made a lot of noise.

[He frowns. This is kid can't lie, can he?]

If you don't want to say what's wrong that's fine, but don't go around looking like someone who's puppy just got kidnapped. You look like shit.

[Added for emphasis, of course.]
wadoichimonji: (watching you)

[personal profile] wadoichimonji 2016-08-13 01:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[Zoro raises an eyebrow, shrugging.]

Too late, I'm already up.

[And to prove this point he stands up, cleaning up his pants, and staring down at the boy.]

Let's see... Why don't you try to smile? It'll help with the whole puppy look I think.

oathkeeper: <user name=lardcookies site=livejournal.com> (☾9)

Option A

[personal profile] oathkeeper 2016-08-09 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sora notices the ray of light through the corner of his eye. It makes him immediately curious and he jumps up into the branches himself, light as a feather. He chases after it just for a moment before the light materializes back into Hope.

Oh, that boy that was daydreaming in class! What was his name again? Hope?

This is an interesting power to Sora because he was a god of light as well. So now he's smiling and bouncing on the branch he's on and watches Hope jump down.]


Hey Hope, what are you doing? I didn't know you could do that.
oathkeeper: <user name=vhazzrhossze site=tumblr.com> (gentle // smile)

[personal profile] oathkeeper 2016-08-10 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
It's your power, right? What kind of god are you?

[Sorry Hope, Sora is a bundle of curious questions and energy. It wasn't every day that he found a god that seemed similar to him.]
oathkeeper: <user name=tasteofblame site=livejournal.com> (☾31)

[personal profile] oathkeeper 2016-08-13 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
Ohh I see!

[Sora hops down from the tree branch weightlessly and tucks his arms behind his head.]

Sorry I didn't mean to get nosy. I'm Baldr, god of light too. That's why I was asking. My power isn't anything like that though.

[Battler's been pretty wrapped up in watching Hope for a while before he calls out to him, though he looks more delighted than anything.]

Hey! No, it's fine! I just... that's really neat. What you've been doing. I still don't get how it can work, but it still looks cool!

[Battler never gives up on doubting magic apparently.]
zenzendameda: (02)

[personal profile] zenzendameda 2016-08-25 06:01 pm (UTC)(link)
...huh? Oh! No, I've seen it!

[He rubs the back of his head, looking uncertain.]

I'm just not sure how it can work. It's... ridiculous. It shouldn't be able to work like that...
