Aymeric

Sheryl

[onedrinkwithme]

(From here)

[Oh...that look is a sad one.]

A dear friend of yours?

[galactically]

[Her smile is faint, pretty sad but it's visible on her lips.]

She is. [Yuuki is one of several teasing targets, too.] Yuuki is a bundle of positive energy. She's actually some kind of a fairy with bat-like wings.

[onedrinkwithme]

[Missing friends when they're so far away is the worst.]

She must be if you are speaking highly of her.

[Because it doesn't sound like a typical response for someone who is nice, mostly one would get a offhand comment about how nice they were and leave it at that.]

[galactically]

Aaah, that girl had the potential to be one of my biggest fans, too! What a shame.

[She lets out a dramatic sigh, complete with a small handflap to go with the chipper melodramatics. It won't do for Sheryl to stay sad for long, not in front of a stranger. Yuuki wouldn't want her to be upset, she's sure.]

[onedrinkwithme]

[And lucky he's not one to notice such things on the surface. Maybe he needed to switch the subject. Her performing perhaps?]

Were you a performer before coming here? You truly have a presence on stage.

[galactically]

"Were"? I'm always a performer, even before arriving here.

[She pauses with a slight crinkling of her nose before a thoughtful expression settles over her features. A small sigh escapes her, the tiniest bit exasperated.]

The public in this world has the mind of a goldfish! And I mean from outside this area. The Near Shore people... I'm not used to my own name being unknown.

Amaterasu

[onedrinkwithme]

(From here)


[It also has a hood so if smoke ends up bothering her, she can flip it on without any worry. Better to have two more hands helping out than none at all.]

We can start by getting water and trying to put the flames out. If that does not work, we will need to try to find another course of smothering them.

[A part of him feels bad for not sending her away but he couldn't help but feel that she may not want to leave or somehow end up hurt. At least with him around, he can keep an eye on her.]

Hope

[onedrinkwithme]

(From here)

[Kid, some time that self esteem will build up.]

To you it may not but there are those who have freshly arrived; while we get the information from our hosts, there are bits and pieces that can be missed that they did not grasp.

[It is good to get both sides after all.]

Sora

[onedrinkwithme]

(From here)

[Lucky that he can be a quick learner, one has to be when it comes to running a nation. He manages to pick up some rice without dropping it. Not bad, need more birch syrup]

Hmmm, it is quite nice.

[He'll mix stuff once he can get used to the sticks.]

[oathkeeper]

See? You'll be a pro in no time.

[Sora grins brightly at him and nods.]

My name is Sora by the way! God name Baldr, god of light and peace. What's your name?

[Nothing like bonding over chopsticks.]

[onedrinkwithme]

[Heh, he's a good kid.]

A pleasure to meet you. My name is Aymeric de Borel but my god name is Forseti, god of justice and reconciliation.

[oathkeeper]

[Something sounds stupidly familiar about the name Forseti, but Sora can't place why. He makes a face but forgets about it a second later. He'll ask Data-Roxas later, as usual.]

That's a long name! [He chuckles,] Do you like going by that long name or Forseti?

[onedrinkwithme]

Borel is my family name; I do not mind going by Aymeric since it is strange to be associated with a god by being them.

[Of course he worships Halone but being a god? AHHHHH.]

[oathkeeper]

Okay, Aymeric! I just go by Sora too, I don't think I can get used to being called Baldr. But either can be fine in the end I guess.

[But he's pretty interesting in meeting another god that has similarities to the type of god he is.]

I think technically I'm a god of justice too, at least I got a whole bunch of stuff attached to my name. It's pretty neat.

[onedrinkwithme]

[Tank God. Tank God.

Now if he were a typical Ishgardian man, he'd be leery at the thought that a kid could be a god. However, he is not and doesn't scoff.]

And how are you handling it all?

Byung-Hee

[onedrinkwithme]

(From here)

[And he made things much worse didn't he? Dammit all. Once the other had something to drink, he could be a bit more at ease.]

Aye, I spoke true: the two of us are supposed to work as partners to destroy these creatures plaguing this world as well as answering prayers of some sort. This must be a new experience for us both.

[But maybe he won't be so bad at it? He really can't be if he has a shinki to help out and Aymeric well make sure he does the same for him.]

I believe an introduction is in order: I'm Aymeric.

[jooeyecandy]

[He blinked and wrinkled his nose, finally clearing his airways enough to breath a little better before giving the next bit of information from this guy. Which sounded like some kind of stupid plot from a comic book if he was going to be fair about it. Byung-hee wasn't sure why he would think that, but it seemed to make perfect sense considering his current state of nor remembering anything but his name.

Well, that and the fact he was pretty good with a guitar and wanted to find a cute girl to write a song for. But other than that, yeah, no memories.]

I dunno. I don't remember anything really.

[Except chicken was good. Chicken was always good. He took another big bite and thought for a second before he set both drink and chicken down, stood up and did a proper bow.] Ah, I'm Joo Byung-hee. It's nice to meet you.

Sanae

[onedrinkwithme]

(From here)

[That seemed like a bit of too much information for a first conversation.]

I will do my best to remember that in the future. As well as be glad that there is no alcohol near me.

Archie

[onedrinkwithme]

(From here!)

[So this is not the only example of being dragged from other realms. Very interesting.]

Is that so? What purpose did they desire from all walks of life?

[And why a tavern? He wasn't trained for that line of work...]

[rainofterror]

Y'know, I think he just got stuck with us. Served him right, too, we went through some shit there.

[man you know explaining to aymeric that he died isn't how he wanted this conversation to go LET'S STALL]

[onedrinkwithme]

It sounds like quite a few things happened.

[But should he ask? Maybe later, not good for a first day thing. And do we really want someone having an identity crisis this early?]

But at least it sounds like you found a way out so there is a victory in that.

[rainofterror]

Sure did! It was pretty awesome, too! I'll tell ya about it some other time.

[Unpleasant topic successfully evaded? Not forever, he's not trying to avoid it forever or he wouldn't have offered a later storytime. But damn, can't they at least settle in here before rehashing all that?]

So what were you up to before endin' up here, then?

[onedrinkwithme]

I will be looking forward to it.

[It certainly sounds like a tale oh honey you have no idea and at least they'll have a good place to chat about it. Aymeric thought he saw a bar as he was heading here back at his 'temple'.]

Hmmm, before I was brought here, I was helping our Parliament set up our new systems. It isn't every day that a government changes from a religious sect to a republic in a short amount of time.

[Yeah, you heard right. He kinda overthrew a thousand year old government.]

[rainofterror]

...yeah, guess it ain't.

[There aren't a lot of stories from Viginti that surprise him. By virtue of half of them being insane.]

And now you're a god. [lol let's form a new theocracy]
