10/29 --- Δ Haggard Traveler’s Reprieve?????

[gluttoning]

Who: ??? & you!
What: Something's starting...
Where: Δ Haggard Traveler’s Reprieve (Twilight Shoreline)
When: Sunday, 10/29
Warnings: Will be added as needed.

( Perhaps intrigued by the mail allegedly sent by CC Corp, perhaps visiting the Shoreline by chance, gating into the Area goes as it always does, until the music stays cut for longer than it should, and the black, liminal transition screen lingers for a little too long. The seconds tick on. They near turn to minutes. You can't struggle, you can't argue— you can only simply be, and it occurs to you that maybe you'll be trapped midway here, conscious, for maybe forever.

And then you hear static. Your vision warps; pixels strain into words, blurred and unstable. You see them combat for your attention; you see— )



( And then you load in. )

[deto]

I know.

[ bright brown eyes meet red as he pulls back, taking yoshi’s hand, palm up. with a finger he writes two characters, six strokes, then four - which he promptly eats out of yoshi’s hand like kirby - nom ]

Thanks for the meal. Though I hope people come and thank you soon so we can leave. You need some serious rest, and I’m hungry.

[justonezero]

Misteaks messaged me. We can probably go now.

[Everyone else wants to reunite with their loved ones, after all... Other than Mithrun's moment of advice.]

Want to grab food somewhere?

[deto]

[ misteaks’ name just makes him hungrier, famished ]

Can you stay awake while we eat?

[justonezero]

I think so? ...I should probably eat, too.

[deto]

So our list is eat, shower, sleep. Sounds doable. [ although yoshi looks about ready to drop ] How about you wait at the guild and I’ll grab us some food? Unless you really wanna go together?

[justonezero]

...I don't really want to be away from you right now.

[He's alive, obviously he is, but...

That moment of terror and grief is still fresh.]

I'll be alright.

[deto]

[ if it’s something yoshi wants… deto nuzzles him a little before getting to his feet. he holds out both hands to yoshi ]

Is that your wish for today?

[justonezero]

Yeah.

That's my wish.

[deto]

Alright. Up you go.

[ he helps yoshi up to his feet. if he needs more help than that, deto will offer his back. piggyback offer still stands ]

I’m thinking something vegetarian.

[ too much meat today ]

[justonezero]

[Taking the assist up for sure, but he seems steady enough on his feet to not need a piggy-back ride.]

That stage was really, uh. Fleshy.

[Said in a tone of agreement.]

[deto]

Yoshi…

[ a pained expression, taking mental damage as they speak ]

Please don’t ever say that with that expression ever again.

[justonezero]

As long as there's no more fights like that, I won't have to.

[deto]

Someone tie Mithrun1 and Tarvos-guy to their beds.

[justonezero]

Misteaks is going to have to stay in bed anyway, pretty sure.

[deto]

Gee, what a shame.

[justonezero]

You don't sound too sorry about it.

Where do you want to eat, anyway?

[deto]

[ unapologetically shrugging as he takes yoshi’s hand ]

That pizza place by the mall?

[justonezero]

[Taking his hand with a squeeze!]

I'm always down for pizza.

[deto]

[ cheese pizza counts as vegetarian right ]

We get the food and go back to our - your place to eat?

[justonezero]

Sounds good. But... we both sleep there, so isn't it pretty much your place, too?

[deto]

[ he’d be happy to share everything with yoshi ]

If you’re okay with that. I mean, I was kinda thinking that, but just in case you wanted a space to call your own.

[justonezero]

I like places much better when you're there, too.

[deto]

Then… let’s go get food and bring it back to our place. I don’t want to linger ‘cause if you say more sweet things, we’re gonna end up making out here.

[ he’s not over the trauma yet, and he doesn’t want anyone to see yoshi’s flushed face ]

Wait - isn’t this where we had our first kiss?

[justonezero]

You're saying that like it's a bad thing again...

[Though, to be fair, he IS still pretty tired.

Deto's question catches him off guard though - he looks around again, as though seeing it fresh for the first time.]

...Oh! Yeah, it is, isn't it?

[deto]

… Not in front of them.

[ also, he wants yoshi to get some rest asap ]

Feels like ages ago, doesn’t it?
