Time Stops For Fire(Altered Tundra and Hero)

When Emiri took the necklace and put it around her neck, she would then stand up and say that they should join up with the others. Jaakuna agreed and he would stand up taking her hand. They would walk, hand-in-hand, and start heading to Lady Karolina’s room as they would enter the elevator.

After Wesley’s protest to having a gathering at the beach, Nadeline would go on to state how it would be good for everyone after the few days of non-stop work and fighting. While Wesley wanted to argue with that point, he just couldn’t bring himself to do so. What Nadeline had said were all very good points and at the very least, they can soak up some sun. “Very well then. I guess I am outnumbered.” Wesley admitted.

After Wesley had agreed, Lorenzo would respond to Savayna about how she wondered how the beaches of Stigma would compare to that of the Phon Coast. Lorenzo would state that while the shores of the Phon Coast are more refreshing, the shores of Stigma are more clearer and that unlike the shores of the Phon Coast, which have natural rock, Stigma has magicite that makes the water just clearer. Savayna would definitely have to see this to believe what Lorenzo was saying.

As the mention of Emiri came up, to their surprise, mainly Savayna as she was turning her head(and her body) to stretch it, she saw Jaakuna and Emiri at the doorway. “Well, speak of the devils.” Savayna exclaimed. “We were just talking about you, Miss Priss---” Savayna was about to say, but then Wesley socked her arm again. “Would you stop doing that!? It hurts.” She snapped to Wesley, but he was just looking on like he had done nothing wrong. Savayna just growled.

When Lorenzo mentioned the idea of a beach party, Wesley looked at him with the most stern of expressions, then he looked to Grant, who would then tell his brother that he couldn’t be serious. Though Wesley liked the idea of relaxing on a beach, was it really the most appropriate of times? Given the news of Empress Reia possibly sending assassins to kill Grant and Nadeline, was it really wise to do so? “Um, Prince Lorenzo, do you think it would be wise to do so? Given the news of Empress Reia’s…drastic measures, I think it wouldn’t be smart to have a beach party.” Wesley said being on the same boat as Grant.

Savayna looked to Grant and Wesley. “Oh, where’s your sense of fun, you two? A beach party sounds FANTASTIC! Besides, I’ve been really wanting to try out my bikini!” Savayna, for the first time in a long while, was actually looking forward to this. “Though, I don’t really know how the waters of Rozarria compare that of the Phon Coast.” She said, slightly giggling.

When Jaakuna sat down and started talking about the garden, Emiri would lay her head on his shoulder. She would go on to state that her and Nadeline were the ones that planted the lilies and that they did it to help the patients through their sick times. Jaakuna smiled at that. He would then laugh slightly as Emiri would go on to state that they planted so many that there wasn’t enough room for any other assortment of flowers. She would say that Grant apologized numerous times and donated a fountain and that Lorenzo donated the statue.

“Even though on accident, the combined efforts really did make this garden really peaceful to look at” Jaakuna commented.

As she would grab his hand, Emiri began to tell Jaakuna just about everything she was feeling. She told him that she should have never come back to Rozarria or to Stigma. She should have done something or even ask for help. She would say that she should have been a better daughter or something. Jaakuna would just let her finish; he knew this was all built up from years of running. She would continue by saying that on her wedding day, she left without saying a word, not to Grant, not to her parents — not to anyone. Jaakuna couldn’t help but feel that was almost a similar situation that he was in. Of course not exactly the same, but some of the core aspects are the same. Emiri would then go on to say that while on the Ark, Grant told her that he missed her and how her father, much like Grant, wasn’t all that angry with her at all. Jaakuna just listened to her finish. The last bits she would say was that she should have confronted her mother back in her father’s hospital room, but she didn’t.

When she was finally done, Jaakuna would speak. “I don’t believe you.” Jaakuna said, “If you indeed haven’t changed, then you would have never came here. Despite hearing about your father’s condition, if you truly were the girl that you say you are, then you wouldn’t have come back here.” Jaakuna stated as he looked to her. “The fact that you did come back to Stigma is absolute proof that you’ve changed so much. Whether you’re willing to believe or admit matters not to me. I know it in my heart that you’ve grown so much since I first met you.” Jaakuna said.

Jaakuna turned his gaze to the sky. He smiled slightly and turned his gaze to Emiri once more. “You know, your father didn’t think you would come to visit him. He told me himself that you would for sure curse him out for not being there for you when you were growing up. “Jaakuna said. He reached into his pocket and pulled out the necklace that Andre asked him to give to him. “He asked me to give this necklace to you. He said it still has a bit of courage left in it.” Jaakuna said as he held the necklace in both hands by the top of the chain, and it dangled in the air.

Perhaps send a mass pm to everyone and just see who is still in to continue. :3 idk, just a thought. xD

Time Stops For Fire(Altered Tundra and Hero)

Jaakuna just couldn’t believe this woman. Was her life before her comfortable lifestyle really that bad? What could have happened in her life to make her so bitter and cold? Jaakuna really didn’t understand. Maybe he really didn’t have any right to judge. For as long as he could remember, he was always in a comfortable lifestyle, never had to fend for himself. Well, that was until he became a sky pirate. Still, Jaakuna really didn’t understand why she was so bitter to her daughter. Even as she would say such things about how people all have their own roles to play, Jaakuna just couldn’t get past the next thing she would say, which was calling her own daughter a whore. Jaakuna could look past her mentioning his disgraced prince status, but calling Emiri a whore was where he drew the line of acceptance. However, before Jaakuna could get a chance to speak his piece again, she would leave.

As she would indeed leave, Andre would speak, well not before letting out a groan. It was no doubt cause of his injuries. He would start by telling Jaakuna that things just don’t settle in one day. Jaakuna knew that much was indeed true. Andre would continue as he would state that years of abuse and neglect doesn’t disappear in just one day He would also state that he didn’t deserve Emiri’s visit. All the while he was, Jaakuna was disagreeing with him in his mind. Sure he didn’t know this man, but he was still Emiri’s father. No matter how many years he missed out on her life, he was still her father damn it. He would continue on about how he failed both Justine and Emiri. Jaakuna kept on disagreeing with him in his mind, but he would at least let Andre finish up.

When Andre finished, he would pull out a necklace. It had a gold chain and attached to the gold chain was a golden key and heart-shaped locket. When he took it off of his neck, he placed it in Jaakuna’s let hand. He would then go tell him to go find her and give the necklace to her and tell her that still has courage in it, only if she wants it. Jaakuna wanted to say something to this, but words wouldn’t come out.

Jaakuna was about to head out, but just as he was to head to the door, he turned back to Andre. “Sir, you should know that she loves you. Emiri won’t — no, more like can’t — stop loving you. You’re her father and despite everything her mother has done to her or despite you not being there, she still does love you. Her coming here is full proof of that.” Jaakuna said, putting the necklace into his pocket. “Just don’t beat yourself over it. Every man has made mistakes in his life, you nor I are no exception to that.” Jaakuna said smiling to Andre and he departed from Andre’s room.

When Jaakuna was at the front desk, he would lean against it, looking to the man at the front desk. “Excuse me, the girl that asked about Lord Andre’s room, did she run past here?” Jaakuna asked politely.

The man, though busy, would get to Jaakuna only a few seconds later. “Ah yes, she passed by here about twenty minutes ago.” The man replied.

“Did you see which direction she went?” Jaakuna asked.

“Hmm, let’s see.“ The man was trying to remember where exactly she went and then he recalled it. “Oh yes, I remember now. She went off to the gardens just down that way, sir.” The man informed Jaakuna.

Jaakuna smiled. “Thank you. Have a nice day.” Jaakuna waved as he left.

Going down the hallway, Jaakuna jogged and walked, as he made sure that he wasn’t missing any important turns. He would go down a right turn, through a hallway, and then he would smell something. “Are those flowers I smell?” Jaakuna mused aloud. He would try to go in the direction of the smell of the flowers. In about five or six minutes, he would come to the garden and instantly the view of it was something out of a fantasy novel. The garden had several types of lilies, all varying of color and in the center of it all was a small fountain with a statue of an angel with hands in a position praying. Jaakuna slowly walked into the garden, just trying to get a sense of the calamity from the scenery of the garden. He was actually pretty amazed that Stigma had something like this. When Jaakuna walked more around, he found the person he was looking for and she was crying. Emiri was crying, knees clenched and sitting on a bench. Jaakuna sat next to her.

“This garden really is a peaceful sight.” Jaakuna said sitting next to Emiri, just looking at the flowers.

From the back and forth bantering between Grant and Lorenzo, to the sitting of the latter on the former, everyone seemed to be having quite the fun time. Well, maybe not Grant, but Savayna actually got the chance to see Grant not in his serious mode for once. She actually got to see that there was a hume being underneath all that ordinary façade. He actually had a personality. Though, Savayna didn’t think he would actually be one to straight out use foul language in front of woman. Truly, he was full of surprises today. As Savayna just laughed it all up, Wesley and Nadeline were just witnessing it all and then that’s when Lorenzo would pretty much that if his daughter isn’t pleased with hers and Wesley’s date, then he’s next. Wesley gulped in nervousness and fear. Once the silliness had faded, the attention of the real reason why Nadeline and Grant, and by association, Wesley and Savayna were all called to Rozarria.

When Karolina and Lorenzo started speaking about it, Wesley and Savayna both listened intently. The truth of the reason was revealed in the way that Empress Reia would be dethroned by the Rozarrian Council and the reason for this being simply cause she couldn’t bear children. Savayna didn’t think much of it, but Wesley thought about it and while it made sense, it was borderline betrayal. Then as they continued, they would go on to say that Reia originally ascended to the throne after her, Lorenzo’s, and Grant’s brother killed their father, with Grant seeing it all. Savayna instantly turned her attention to Grant. Was she now feeling sorry for him? She didn’t know, but now that would explain a lot. Seeing your father killed before your very eyes and just all of that would make one act in such ways that Grant did.

When Lorenzo and Karolina both finished up, the news would hit all of them differently. Wesley didn’t know what to say in this matter. He, did however, have something to say about the assassins. “Even if we should leave Stigma — whenever that may be — it’s a good thing that our temporary home is an airship.” Wesley chuckled. “Still, this is very dire news. I know not of the Empress, only what I’ve heard in rumors.” Wesley said, placing his thumb in-between his two lips and biting them. “Though, hearing all of this, the rumors are true; she would really do anything to secure her place.” Wesley was deeply troubled by this.

Savayna really had no place to speak about this, but she would. “I guess we’re just going to have to protect these two chaps, then. “ Savayna said confidently.

Wesley looked to Savayna. “As much as that statement is vague, I agree with Savayna. We must protect them at all costs.” Wesley said grabbing Nadeline’s hand and looking to her. “I meant what I said yesterday. I will protect you from any harm.” His eyes said it all.

If I may add to Gnar, there also seems to be two of the eight digidestined spots to be open. Unless I am incorrect of that. If I am, then I forsake my entire statement.

One thing Wesley knew about Lorenzo was that he was very bi-polar. One moment, he so calm, but one moment he has such a high burst of energy about him. Once Wesley would slightly get out of his redness, he would get back into it. It was a never-ending cycle. Wesley just couldn’t anymore. His embarrassment got to be too much. He just didn’t know how to handle this. Then, Wesley got an idea. It was a foolish, stupid idea, but he knew he had to do it or he might just die from embarrassment.

Wesley turned to Nadeline, looking at her with the most serious expression. “The only way, I think, your dad and mother would be satisfied is for us to go on our first date. So, how does dinner sound? “ Wesley did it and he couldn’t believe it, but it was about time. He did, after all, owe her a dinner date.

Savayna was just watching what Lorenzo and Karolina were saying and then to Wesley asking out Nadeline. “Well damn, this is pretty awesome. “ Savayna said laughing it up. “Hahaha, maybe for the kicks, we should double with them, wouldn’t you agree, Grant?” Savayna said joking, but slightly serious.

And there it was. The biggest fear that Emiri had was realized as Jaakuna saw her apologize to Andre and tell Jaakuna that she hasn’t changed. Jaakuna didn’t believe it for one second. He knew that Justine was the sole reason that Emiri is even like the way she is. Maybe Andre too, but of all that Emiri has told about her parents, her mother was the one person that broke her down the worst. Jaakuna would let Emiri had her time alone, but as for Justine, Jaakuna was not done. However, after he got all of his anger out, he would actually go about it with a somewhat calm head.

“Okay, maybe we got off the wrong foot, Lady Justine.” Jaakuna said, “I..I just hate seeing Emiri like that. But you can’t pretend that you’re not the sole reason for this happening. “ Jaakuna continued, “She told me, you know. She told me about how you pretty much forbade her from having free will. She told me that you groomed her to be a fucking doll, and for what? So you can stay in your comfortable lifestyle? I’m not going to lie, when she told me, I had half a mind to come here and tell it to you straight, but I didn’t cause I knew it would mean Emiri would be sad. “ He said, getting just a few inches away from Justine. “I actually want you answer something for me. You said you love your daughter, that you and Lord Andre did all you could to give her the best.” Jaakuna said, “Did you once ask her if this life was what she wanted? Did you even think about asking her if she wanted to be shipped off as Grant’s wife? I bet if you had, just maybe Emiri would have stayed.” He asked and would state.

Jaakuna passed by Justine and went to Andre. “I am sorry, Lord Andre. I did not intend to raise my voice in such ways that would cause discomfort for you, nor did I intend for this visit from Emiri to turn so bitter and unwelcome.” Jaakuna said, pretty much requesting Andre’s forgiveness.

This woman was every bit as bad as Emiri made her out to be. She’s cruel, wicked, and above all else, a cunt. Jaakuna didn’t even understand why a woman would treat her daughter in such a crude manner. Sure, what she said is what a parent should do. A parent should always make sure their child or children have everything that they need. Sometimes it’s only the material things that a child needs, sometimes it’s the love of both parents being under the same roof. Jaakuna could see that Emiri didn’t have that. With her dad being gone and her mom being so overbearing and so strict in such a way that she’s showing now, Jaakuna could see why Emiri was broken down to what Grant had her in. Her mom pretty much make her feel like a doll. Jaakuna was just sick of it. He had heard enough.

Jaakuna was just about to say some stuff, but Andre would try to ease the tension, but he still wasn’t up for it. And of course, Justine would speak even more about how Emiri would run away or some shit like that. Jaakuna just had enough.

“Oh will you shut it already!” Jaakuna really did have enough of it. “I wonder, did you ever stop to wonder WHY she ran? Maybe it was cause she couldn’t handle one more second of your bullshit. You say you love her, you say you want her to have the life that is only the best for her. “Jaakuna said stepping forward to Justine. “Before you go on saying these things about how she supposedly runs from you, maybe you should have asked her what SHE wanted. Maybe you should have asked her what HER preferred choice of lifestyle was.” Jaakuna just had enough of this bitch. “If she wanted this life, she would have stayed, now would’ve she?” Jaakuna couldn’t help but show a slight smirk after saying that. “And really, what you say doesn’t really matter to me. I know she won’t leave me. “

Jaakuna would look to Emiri and he could see it. No, it was more of a sensing of feelings. He could feel that her mother’s words were regressing her back into a state that Jaakuna thought she left when she went off on Grant aboard the Ark afew days back. Jaakuna would look at Emiri. “Hey, look at me. “ He said lifting her head up. “Don’t listen to her. Everything she just said is just her being petty, and hateful. “ Jaakuna said looking into her eyes, completely ignoring both Andre and Justine. “You’ve grown so much since that day we met at the Sandsea. You’ve gotten bolder and more confident. Coming back here is proof of that, so don’t let what she said make you doubt yourself. I love you too much for that to happen.” Jaakuna was speaking kindly and softly, but no doubt that her parents would hear him.

Wesley didn’t even know what to do. Nadeline’s father was more than he expected. Now, just as he had done to Nadeline, he shook Wesley’s shoulders and started yelling right to his face stuff about how dare he not take his beautiful daughter on a date. He would go on to say that men and women would die for the chance to date her. Wesley, at this point was so red, his face could be mistaken for a Rouge Tomato with black and silver hair. Then that’s when Lorenzo would go on to rhetorically ask him if he was a tool, a joke, or even a man. Wesley, at this point, was about to faint from the embarrassment.

“SIR! I AM NOT A JOKE, TOOL, AND I AM A MAN! NADELINE AND MYSELF JUST HAVEN’T HAD THE TIME TO GO ON A DATE!” What was that? Did Wesley just yell? And much less, did he actually say what he thought he said. “If it makes you feel better, we have shared a few kisses.” Oh by the gods, let there be mercy for Wesley. Oh god, let it be..

Savayna was just looking on, and she leaned into Grant. “So, Pussy-Grant, is your brother always like this?”

Time Stops For Fire(Altered Tundra and Hero)

It was an interesting conversation going on. The fact that there was four Rozarrians, an Archadian, and a Dalmascan all together talking was truly amazing. It was one of those rare times that people could look beyond nationalities and just focus on the pure joy and thrill of conversation between hume beings. The words from Lorenzo would be advice, mainly to Savayna. He would tell her that it would be wise for her not to her use her full name since her reputation is obviously within the kingdom of Rozarria and city of Stigma. Savayna would shrug, but she would nod as she agreed that it would be best if she didn’t declare who she was. It truly would cause problems for Savayna and her friends, and also Grant. As that passed, however, Lorenzo would speak, and well that would be interesting.

Wesley really couldn’t make out what Lorenzo was all about. He half-expected the Prince to…well act like Grant in some aspects. He expected some type of protective instincts to come out full front. But nope, he would pull out some kind of ‘it’s the end of the world cause I’m going to be a grandpa’ card. Though, even hearing and seeing all of that, Wesley still didn’t know how to make heads or tails of it. He didn’t even know what to say when Lorenzo would ask Wesley, in a very dramatic fashion, why he did this to him? Wesley was starting to get red around his face. And even worse, Karolina seemed to be actually encouraging the act of sex between Nadeline and Wesley. At this point, he was all red.

When Wesley was downright embarrassed, Savayna, on the other hand, was eating it all up. She actually was enjoying every bit of this. She didn’t really care that these two were Rozarrians, she would join in on what they were saying. “Yes you two, be sure to have kids. You never know what could happen. Yolo, am I right?” She exclaimed, joining in on the teasing that Nadeline’s parents were giving them.

Wesley found the strength to speak. “Sir…we, I mean…we haven’t even had a date yet…” Wesley’s head was down, clearly beyond embarrassed.

If awkwardness ever was a movie, the scene that could be witnessed between Jaakuna, Emiri, and Andre could be the opening sequence. It was pretty clear that Jaakuna was not in his comfort zone here. Andre would take his hand to examine it and he would state that Jaakuna’s swordsmanship needed work. Jaakuna, inside was laughing, but outside he said nothing. He had to remember this man was a warrior among the elite of Rozarria. Jaakuna never was good at meeting his significant others’ parents. Though, there was a certain kindness to Andre, and Jaakuna would soon find himself not being too nervous.

Emiri and Andre would talk about how long its been since they last saw each other. Jaakuna had to admit it was indeed a long time to go in-between visits. Though, not like Jaakuna is any person to judge on that. Before yesterday, Jaakuna hadn’t seen his own brother in three years and not to forget Ramon, who he hadn’t seen three years more before Vincent. Of course, his own Grandfather, it was at least five years before yesterday. When they would talk more, Emiri would take Jaakuna’s hand, locking her fingers with his. That would raise a question that Andre meant to ask and that was exactly who Jaakuna was to Emiri, and when she stated that he was her boyfriend, Jaakuna’s nervousness level shot up.

Just as Andre was about to say something, his gaze went to the door behind them. Before Jaakuna could casually look to see what had his attention, that very object would come in, hand in full force and slap Emiri straight across the face. This caused Emiri’s grip with Jaakuna’s hand to cut off. Even more so, Jaakuan would turn around to see who slapped her, and to his surprise, it was her mother, Justine. Jaakuna couldn’t believe her own mother would slap her. But even more so, she would go on to yell to Emiri by stating how dare Emiri show her face around here. Emiri’s hand was on her cheek and when Justine would go on to call Emiri foolish and even dare ask why would she bother her father by coming back, Jaakuna lost it.

Grabbing Justine’s hand, Jaakuna directed it away from Emiri, and spoke. “What the hell is wrong with you?” Jaakuna shouted to Justine, “That’s your daughter you just hit. YOU should be the one to have shame. Do you not even understand how much strength it took her to come here, knowing full well that she would run into the likes of you!? No you don’t, cause all you give a damn about is making her life a living hell, isn’t it?” Jaakuna was just on a roll. “She risked EVERYTHING by coming to Stigma just to visit her father. “ Jaakuna said, holding Emiri’s hand, looking to her making sure she was alright. Jaakuna then turned his gaze to Justine. “And by the way, I’m Jackson Jaakuna Tunick Hinoko-Darcone, your daughter’s boyfriend. I would say it’s a pleasure, but I’m not one to lie.” He said looking her dead set in the eyes, almost like he was threatening her, but he wasn’t, not really.
