Time Stops For Fire(Altered Tundra and Hero)

"So, grandfather has the Judge-Sal, huh?" Jaakuna said, a laugh coming from his mouth.

He probably should be surpirsed that Hamut had Exodus, but he really wasn't. Growing up in Archadia and how he perceived his grandfather to me, it made sense that he would be granted the Judge-Sal Esper. What was the shocker for Jaakuna was the fact that Michelangelo, the son of the Golden Wolf of Archadia's Imperial Court, had an Esper. Jaakuna hadn't remembered Michel to be any more than Savayna's lapdog, but then again, there were a lot of things that Jaakuna didn't know about certain people he was confident didn't have things to hide.

"So, I guess that only leaves Famfrit, but something isn't adding up," Jaakuna admitted, looking at Emiri with uncertain eyes. He just couldn't place it. There was something that wasn't fitting. "I know I may sound like a crazy person, but I just know that something isn't right with that scenario." Jaakuna said, suddenly hearing the whispers of Belias, "even my esper agrees. He couldn't tell exactly, but he agrees with me that Lola and Famfrit doesn't fit. Then again, Belias tells me that Famfrit is the shy one of the Scions of Darkness, so maybe he's scared of Lola like a lot of people are." Jaakuna said, trying to determine exactly what didn't add up. "What about yours? Since Aloa quelled your psycho-killer rage, has Chaos tried reaching out to you?" Jaakuna really hated asking about Chaos. The very thought of him interfering with Emiri again was enough to set him into a blazing fit of rage.

Though he dropped quite the bombshell on Nadeline, Wesley hadn't expected that, she of all people, would be deathly silent. It was true that, before the events that happened at Giruvegan and Stigma, Wesley hadn't, even for one second, considered that he would return home for good until the dangers of Zodiark were purged from Ivalice. However, due to the possibility, no matter how minimal, of war coming to his homeland, it changed his perspective of a lot of things, namely playing adventurer with the others.

Looking at her, listening to her words carefully, and choosing his own as such, Wesley took a deep breath. "Trust me, if the circumstances were different, or if my home of Dalmasca wasn't going to potentially be caught in the cross-hairs of the war that's brewing, I wouldn't even consider this." Wesley told Nadeline, his hands on hers, eyes looking at hers, "but just as I know if the roles were reversed and Stigma—as well as the entire country of Rozarria—were caught in the cross-hairs of war between the neighboring countries, I know you would stay here despite the wanting of adventure with me and the others." Wesley said, knowing what he said to be true, and he was sure that Nadeline knew that as well. "This is why I have to return to Dalmasca. This is why, despite my personal feelings, and my preference to stay with you, to stay with the others aboard the Ifrit, I have to go back, and become the King my country hasn't had since my father passed." Wesley, though he didn't mean to, said in a louder voice than his usual tone. It seemed to be laced with a kind of desperateness that was closely connected to his love for his people, but also it seemed to have a underlying tone of regret and confliction that was tied to his love for his friends that he made and the love for Nadeline.

Savayna grunted in annoyance. "You can never just take a win modestly, can you?" she sighed again, half-smiling at Grant.

Despite his obvious arrogance that he had most of the time and that often unnecessary sarcastic comment he would make, Savayna couldn't deny those were traits of his that she found kind of attractive—well, in a anger-inducing kind of way. Despite that, she knew it came from a good place, even if you would have to dig really, really, really deep to find the true meaning of what he was saying. Maybe that was why they somehow got along. When she wasn't feeling so down about herself, Savayna had the same arrogance, the same sarcasm in her voice, the same logical mind. Actually, the more she thought about it, she and Grant had a lot of similarities, more so than she and Jackson had. Which begged the question..

"Say Grant," Savayna said, rubbing her left arm with her other as it was crossed, eyes half-darting away from Grant's own, "something's been on my mind since Giruvegan." she said, same posture of arm-rubbing-arm, same head half-turned away from Grant. "When we were going through The Great Crystal, and the subject came up about Nadeline and Wesley getting married and Jackson and Emiri getting married, what about us?" she asked, her cheeks already starting to get red. And of course they would. She pretty much asked him about their future and them getting married.

@UniversorumWe could always come up with something when the time comes. :)

<Snipped quote by Altered Tundra>

I, too, ship Vilyssa.

however i think vi and davy would be hilariously fun and i'm now sold on the idea.

@Universorum

Well, it's definitely an interesting idea, that's for sure. Who knows? Maybe something quite hilarious could come out of it.

CLOSED.

<Snipped quote by Altered Tundra>

if we want memes, davy and vi.
if we want unresolved sexual tension, vi and alyssa and alex.
if we want previously resolved sexual tension, alyssa and alex.
if we want tension, alex and troy.
if we want attractive bonds being attractive together, alyssa and vi.
if we want none of the above, troy and vi cuz i don't know what they'd do.

@Universorum

Damn man, a lot of those involve Viola. Let's see,

• Davy and Vi could be ...interesting. XD
• Vi, Alyssa, and Alexandros could be also interesting as well. xD
• Alexandros and Troy, I feel, might not work anymore since Alexandros is going to try and better himself for Josie's sake, but since it won't happen for a while, perhaps there could be something there.
• Vi and Alyssa definitely. I totally ship Vilyssa. <3
• Troy and Vi will definitely happen because Viola's mission to cause hell for Audrey extends to Mr. Blake. c:

So, yeah, plenty of opportunities for collabs. :D

<Snipped quote by Universorum>

Wait, Alex and Alyssa were involved too? .-. #stopbeingamanwhoreAlex #stopforJosie

PS: @Altered Tundra Josie's post will be up as soon as I get home. ^·^

@Altered TundraDude, I gotta get off this weed.

@Universorum

Yes—you do.

@Altered Tundrawe should, at some point, do a collaborative posting effort

@Universorum

um, sure. ^^; At some point we will, but with whom? Like which characters?

Time Stops For Fire(Altered Tundra and Hero)

"That's a really good question." Jaakuna said, thumb against his lips, his teeth biting down on it lightly.

If what Lola said was a bluff, then she was truly crazy. She couldn't possibly believe that Jaakuna, Emiri, or anyone that she told would believe her, would she? That was such an outragous thing to even believe. However, if she actually did have an Esper, then that made things truly complicated and worse considering what was on the horizon. If she truly did have an Esper, then that meant Lola was not only losing her sanity(as seen from how she enjoyed the sight of the destruction and news of the deaths of the citizens of Stigma), but it meant she was dangerous. There was only one question that remained.

"If she truly does have an Esper—that being a huge if—which one does she have?" Jaakuna asked both himself and Emiri. "The ones, to my knowledge, that are accounted for are our and the others' Espers—Belias, the Gigas, Chaos, Walker of the Wheel, Mataeus, the Corrupt, Zeromus, the Condemner, Hashmaal, Bringer of Order, and Ultima, the High Seraph. Added to that, I remember that Aloa and Vlyn have the Death Seraph, Zalera. And my cousin, Ixion, has the lightning Esper, Adrammelech, the Wroth. Of course, let us not forget how that Harris guy pretty much stole that one Esper in Rabanstre's sewers, Cúchulainn, the Impure from us." Jaakuna said, recalling his memory of the Espers that, in their travels, either by his own account or what he was told, have been claimed. "So, according to what I know, that leaves Exodus, the Judge-Sal, Shemhazai, the Whisperer, and Famfrit, the Darkening Cloud unclaimed." Jaakuna said, scratching his head somewhat, "damn it, I wish I had Nadeline's tome, or her brain. Call her what you want, she definitely has a knack for knowledge." Jaakuna laughed.

Once again, Nadeline had surprised Wesley. To think, with all that in mind, with knowing that he had planned to go back to Rabanastre tomorrow, she wanted to come along. Wesley did look confused, though. It seemed that Nadeilne misunderstood what his intentions were. She seemed to think that he was just going back there for a short time. She had no idea that he was planning on staying there. Should he tell her? Should he tell her that tonight may be the last night they could possible have together for a long time? He has to. Wesley may, in some situations, be a lot like Jaakuna in his undying will and often reckless behavior, but he has never willingly lied to Nadeline. He has never kept anything from her that he had a choice in. He never told her anything that wasn't true, and he wasn't going to start now.

"Nadeline, my love, because you are the best thing that has happened to me since my father's untimely death, I feel like I owe you the whole truth." Wesley said, still looking at her. "When I said I plan on going back to Rabanastre, it is not for a mere visit to see how my sister is doing or to make sure the possibility of war doesn't affect my people." he continued, "when I go back to Rabanstre—my home—I plan on staying there for good." Wesley disappointingly admitted.

"Being with you, with Jaakuna, with Emiri, with Grant, and even Savayna, has been the greatest times of my life. It has opened my eyes to what Ivalice has to offer outside of the walls of Rabanastre. But, with the war most likely coming, I need to come to the realization that I cannot continue this anymore. When I return to Rabanastre, I will take my rightful place as King of Dalmasca." Wesley told her, knowing full well that this news would be disheartening, to say the least. However, Wesley felt like Nadeline deserved to hear the whole truth, and she deserved to hear it from him.

Levi, a mortal? Okay, Savayna would give Grant that one. She is mortal, but a human being? There was no way. Grant really had no idea just how terrifyingly, horrendously, creepy that woman was. He had no idea the things she has done and what has happened to her because of said things she has done. Grant truly had no idea what she did and what she was. How could he? Grant didn't grow up in Archadia where Levi was always around you. Grant didn't even have the slightest clue what she was like, and Savayna wasn't blaming him because of that. She knew that Grant only saw the tip of what Levi was really like. She knew that he only saw just the beginning of what Leviathan was really capable of.

As she was about to say more about how Leviathan was unstoppable, even with their espers' help, Savayna saw the look in Grant's eyes. She saw something in them that somehow made her smile. It made her laugh, as well. Possibly inappropriate of her to do so, but she did. It was perhaps the first laugh since she went on a fit about Leviathan, but she did. "You're right, I suppose," Savayna laughed again, shaking her head. Apparently Savayna Glacie was going mad.

Alexandros had to admit his shock of what was going on right in front of him. One minute it was just some unnecessary comments from Viola—comments that were of poor timing, but not entirely horrible—that completely made Sierra fly over the deep end. He didn’t know she could get that crazy. Audrey may have had her tendencies to act irrationally sometimes, but compared to her, Sierra was the complete opposite. Whereas Audrey's was more subtle and calculating, Sierra's was more akin to how a man got revenge. She threw punches at Viola, which drew blood. He was simply shaking his head through it all, feeling embarrassed for both of them.

It took a while, but finally it was broken up by Mr. Tomers. Alexandros sighed as Sierra and Mr. Tomers exchanged words and he hauled her off to the Principal's office. Yeah, let her get the heat from baldo this time. As for Joo, he was just disappointed as Alexandros was, or something like that. He bid a goodbye to Viola and Alexandros as well, to which she blew a kiss at him—well, a blood-stained kiss, that was. When she had gotten up, Viola was smirking. She actually was smirking. Not only that, but a laugh came from her mouth.

"You enjoyed that didn't you?" Alexandros asked, trying to hide his amusement.

"Oh come now, Alexandros, you had to admit that was fun?" Viola snickered.

Sighing, Alexandros had to admit she was right. Seeing both ladies getting riled up, Sierra getting mad was kind of attractive, and seeing how helpless Joo seemed to stop her from pounding on Viola was a bonus. "Even if I did enjoy watching that, did you really have to reveal to her that we slept together?" Alexandros said, more annoyed about that than anything else.
"You can't seriously be ticked off that the Jameson girl found out you're a pimp, can you?" Viola asked, her head slightly tilted to the slight as her eyes looked at Alexandros.

He said nothing. All he did was try to avoid her eye contact, which was a first.

"I can't believe it. You actually like that brute."

Alexandros annoyingly sighed. "You're going crazy. I don't have meaningless feelings like that. I'm Alexandros Mossos."

"Yes, you are, but you're also the same Alexandros Mossos that, I can't for the life of me understand why, fell so head-over-heels for Audrey Huntsberg. She's not even pretty. She's annoying, too. Miss little per--"

"Vio, because I like what we have, choose your next words carefully." Alexandros retorted, eyes slightly narrowed at Viola.

"All I'm saying is that I don't quite understand your infatuation with Sierra Jameson. She's not of our class. She's totally middle class."

"Ah, yes, I am well-aware of her finacial situation, but you haven't experienced how abnormal her sexual appitite is. In a lot of ways, she puts you to shame." Alexandros said, chuckling.

"Alex, please, you flatter her too much. She is nowhere near my level." Viola confidently boasted.

"Right," he said rolling his eyes, "bottom line is that you didn't need to tell her about us." Alexandros said, his voice lowering into a serious tone.

Viola simply shook her head. "Whatever, Alex. You do what you need to with that one. I'm going to enjoy what little time of my lunch is left. Hope you enjoy your little lumberjack. Call me when you come back to Planet Earth." Viola said, walking away Alexandros in a strut that only she could pull off.

Alexandros laughed at how obviously jealous that Viola was. Who was she trying to convince? Hearing Alexandros talk so highly of Sierra, in both the ways that she made him feel as well as how substanional she was in providing her services on that late Monday night on the beach, and even on the way back to Sierra's house when Alexandros dropped her off. Sighing and deciding to finally walk away from the closet, Alexandros would turn around, and head, seemingly, towards the cafeteria to get something to eat.

As he was, probably halfway there, Alexandros began being plagued with thoughts. The main one that kept popping up more than the others was how, for some reason, he couldn't shake that feeling of regret that Sierra had to find out that way. Oh come now Alexandros, you can't possibly feel bad, can you? Truly, could he? Alexandros Stefano Mossos, the bad boy of Beverly Hills High, was feeling bad for what had happened. Or how it happened. Maybe it was as Viola said. Maybe he actually did like Sierra. Well, that would be a first for him - well, at least since Audrey. What a nightmare! Oh well, seems like Alexandros would have to attempt to clear the air.

Hey, Sierra,
No doubt I'm the last person you want to talk to, but just give me a chance to at least explain?

From Alexandros

As he sent that message, Alexandros pocketed his phone, sighing and hoping that he will at least get that chance to tell her everything. It would really suck if he didn't. He seemed to really take a liking to her, more than he thought he would. Oh what was the world coming to? Alexandros Mossos was actually persuing a girl instead of it being the other way around? It seems it was like how Bob Dylan said it: the times are a changin'.
