Who: Jae-Ha (razzledazzles) & You!
What: This is how he deals with boredom
When: April 17th
Where: Everyone's temples in the far shore, some random tall building in the near shore, around in general
Warnings: Jae-Ha is a flirt but otherwise nah

A. Various Temples (including yours!)

[It was always so freeing to soar around using his right leg like this. He kicks off from the ground, takes off, and it's like he's flying. Who wouldn't love a power like this? No matter how conflicting the meaning behind having it is, or the feelings that come with it— he loves this power.

It's also very convenient for travel. It hasn't been too long since he's arrived in the far shore, but he's already feeling a bit lonely. As much as he may want to call himself a loner, he longs for company and interactions, and lingering in the crowds of the near shore is often more depressing than not. How can he have fun if he's barely noticed? So, today, he's taken to visiting every temple he can.

It starts with him falling from the sky right into the yard. He won't crash into anyone, thankfully, but anyone outside will probably get a gust of wind from how fast he falls. He stands, straightens himself and waves, if there's a person to greet. If not? He'll walk right on up to the temple door and knock.]

Hellooo! [It's not so weird if they're all in the same position, right?]

B. Thinking on rooftops ig

[What Jae-Ha is doing is so odd that even some mortals have begun to notice. Perched on an under construction building that's very tall, he dangles his legs off the side of an unfinished wall and kicks them a bit. He's lounging comfortably, despite the occasional points up at him, and doesn't seem to notice that he's causing the start of a commotion.

There are rooftops that can be accessed nearby, and he can hear shouting from the ground if anyone were to do it, but for now he's lost in his thoughts staring at the clouds that pass by. This is a fine casual activity.]

C. Wildcard

[And of course, feel free to see him around in the middle of all of this, or at night time he does like to drink! So either in a bar or with some alcohol in quiet spots like next to some docks, on a hill, maybe on another rooftop. The usual.]

Comments

[lecturehall]

I'll call the police.

[razzledazzles]

Are they also performers?

[lecturehall]

They're the authorities.

[razzledazzles]

It was a joke! A joke.

[Please don't arrest him.] You must not be the god of humor.

[lecturehall]

No, I'm not.

[like hell he's going to tell him what he is the god of, though.]

But it's also that your jokes aren't funny.

[razzledazzles]

Oh, come on now. Can't I at least get your name? I like to think I've been civil, after you pushed me into your pond.

[lecturehall]

[Goddammit. He can't say no to that reasoning.]

... Keito Hasumi. I took over for the goddess Hariti.

[Thankfully, he's 90% sure most people don't know who she is. No worries about that embarrassment.]

[razzledazzles]

It's a pleasure, Keito. Even if you didn't want to meet me, I didn't much want to be in this position here to begin with. In a way, we're both battling fate, aren't we?

[No?? What the fuck, but anyway, he continues despite logic.] I'd like to get along with as many in the same position as us as I can. So, please think of me as your big brother from now on.

[lecturehall]

No.

Get off my porch.

[razzledazzles]

You can't expect me to leave here wearing this.

[Then he'll really be arrested. By heaven police, or something, he doesn't know.]

[lecturehall]

That's why I said get off the porch, not my property.

[He points.]

Go stand by that tree and don't move. Don't touch my animals either. And if you see my shinki, don't talk them. You're a bad influence.

[razzledazzles]

You're awfully bossy for someone so young. [He brings a hand to cover his mouth as he considers this.]

It must be your performer background shining through.

[Alright, alright, he's walking. Walking, not jumping.]

[lecturehall]

[That's right, you stay over there in tree-out. Keito crosses his arms.]

How do you figure that?

[razzledazzles]

It's a feeling. Someone in the spotlight learns to demand more than just attention!

[lecturehall]

You're jumping to assumptions in order to see what you want. There are plenty of reasonable explanations for it.

[He squints at Jae-ha.]

... Face the tree when you speak.

[razzledazzles]

[He will not face the tree.]

Reasonable explanations like... what, for example?

[lecturehall]

I naturally know what's best.

[razzledazzles]

...You're a child.

[lecturehall]

I'm seventeen.

And even if I wasn't, that's entirely unrelated. It doesn't diminish my abilities.

[razzledazzles]

Is that supposed to mean you aren't a child?

[Seventeen is CHILD AGE.] You can't claim to know anything about the world until you're at least sixty.

[lecturehall]

Then you're condemning yourself to be a child as well. Well, I guess that image is what fits you best. If I were to describe you it would be as a child in an grown man's body.

[razzledazzles]

That's a completely childish retort to defend yourself with.

[STOP... LEAVE HIM.] You're speaking to me a lot for someone who hates my presence.

[lecturehall]

I have to do something while I keep my eye on you. Be thankful I'm not torturing you with one of my lectures.

[He scars people with those. Which he's wary might turn Jae-ha on. That weird blush is still fresh in his mind.]

And face the tree when you speak to me. I don't want to see your face.

[razzledazzles]

[He wants to hear a lecture, try him. But alright... this kid is going to keep telling him to face the tree, so Jae-Ha steps around so the tree is between himself and Keito, face half hidden as he stares at him.]

How's this?

[lecturehall]

You look like a sex criminal.
