We'll take the low road.

About the announcement thing. Part of the reason, if I recall, for telling the father to begin with, was so that he could make a public announcement in support of what his son is doing. I am asking if we're just taking that announcement off the list?

When Realms Collide {AkiBlue & PopeAlessandros}

The little fairy's confusion is clearly written on his face, and Harper does not envy the light speed thoughts he knows must be firing through his mind right now. 'With the speed he normally talks at and moves at, it only stands to reason that his thoughts are also faster than most. Not something I envy. I mean, I can think quickly when I have to, and my mind is sharp, but I think Rue could give me a run for my money should he pit his speed against mine'

He huffs slightly at the thought, snapping Rue out of his musings and with his head tilted curiously he asks, “So, how do I find this out? Is there a ceremony, or a ritual or some tests, or,” Harper holds up a hand and he falls silent. The rabbit man silently thanks Seishu for teaching him that trick.

“No, there is no specific way that is set in stone about all this, however I do suggest that next time you feel the surge of energy, go outside and do what feels right to do.” Rue tilts his head in the other direction.

“Why outside?” he asks softly.

Trying not to sound rude, or like he's attempting to persuade the minion, he looks away with a cough. “I have the feeling that your. . .Place in the realm with require a lot of room to move, and if you are anywhere near Night, the upsurge, no, more like explosion of positive energy that will follow would make him quite ill. Though,” He looks over at Rue with a smile. “With as often as you have been having them, and seeing as he is leaving to his realm soon for that visit, I am sure it will likely happen while he is away. However, I am also sure Inui will take up residence in Night's room while he's gone, and the concerns over what the explosion would do to him are much more substantial.”

The near panicked look on Rue's face at the thought of harming either of them has Harper almost regretting his words, reaching out to pat his arm gently to try and comfort the poor thing. Rue simply nods and begins drifting away. 'I need to think, and they need space. . .I think I'll head home to do some thinking. . . .And hour should do. . . .' Harper watches him drift away with an almost apologetic smile before he takes off for his office, eyes watching him leave that he doesn't notice.

Once they reach the palace Inui is able to relax a little. The people around the palace have come to recognize Inui, and with Rasha riding along they pay the little nightmare minion little mind. At first he simply walks silently down random halls, unsure of what to do with himself, being away from his guardian making him nervous, the unsettled feeling making the little cat beast shiver. Finally Rasha decides to bring up his spirits and with a poof he lands in front of Inui, smiling wide. Without a word he grabs the slightly startled minion's hand and races off down the corridor. Inui tires to ask where they are going, however Rasha simply give him his normal mischievous grin and leads on.

When at last they arrive at their destination Inui laughs out loud as Rasha suddenly sucks off his clothing and does a cannonball into the large palace swimming pool. The shape shifter had noticed how much fun Inui had at the public bath, playing with the water, and swimming about with a smile. 'If this doesn't cheer him up, I could always bring him on a pranking' he muses, watching Inui undress much more slowly. It is clear from his hesitation that he still carries shame over his nightmare denizen appearance, however Rasha slides right up to the side and begins pawing playfully at the tiles to entice the minion to join him. Inui giggles then with a shout he does a flying leap out over the water, jackknifing at the last second.

~*~*~*~*~

Seishu collapses happily face first on to his bed and lets out a long sigh. At the query he turns his head tot he side so he can see Enasi through one eyes and chuckles. “I feel no worse or better than the best and worse I have felt since arriving here. That is to say, like crap, but I hope I can fix that up quick so I can recover fully before our trip tonight.” Flopping on to his side and stretching out much like a playboy pin-up he watches his counterpart roll closer with a sly smile. “First step of course is getting rid of some excess sugary energy. . .” His face falls at this, knowing he isn't going to like what he has to say, but steeling himself to say it none the less. He lets out a little whine at Enasi being so far away, pouting, but he can not hold out any longer and the words begin spilling from his mouth almost before he realizes it.

“You realm is so lovely, and a small part of me, the part of me that is you I think, long desperately for such a peaceful place to dwell. I can honestly say I will be sad to leave here. Despite my love for my home, and my wish to call no other place home, there has always been a love I have had for beautiful locations, and this is one of them.” The stream of positive energy sliding out of him is thicker than usual, which Seishu suppose has to do with how he acquired t this time. “I will long to return here, I know it, and not just for the beautiful sight. . .There is something here that I will miss more than anything else. . .” His eyes flash slightly and despite not really wanting to say it aloud, he knows if he doesn't he will not be rid of the sickening effects of the positive energy streaming through him.

“You have become a greater part of my life then I could ever imagine. I use to just admire you, on the battlefield, charging in beside you troops like the proverbial knight in shinning armor, though in your case, pastel hoodie.” He chuckles at this, giving Enasi a slightly naughty look as he goes on. “Though, I never really imagined the urge to see you out of it would ever be a thing. Let alone how fond I have grown of the others. . . Those with the potential of achieving something I don't think even think The Powers think is possible. . .I will miss them. . .” He coughs lightly, looking to the ceiling so he can get out the last part. When I am well, I think I will have to come visit, and drop of some hugs and gropes just so they don't forget me.”

The positive energy flows out of him in a long, thick, white stream, slowly cutting off until it all snakes inside Enasi, vanishing from sight. 'I wonder how good that felt. I know that just a small bit of it makes me horny, but then again a lot of things do that' Feeling much better Seishu slithers out of bed and without listening to objections he picks up the smaller male and dumps him onto the bed. Climbing up next to him Seishu growls slightly and wraps his arms around the other, laying on his side with Enasi facing away in an attempt to make him a little more comfortable. 'After all, he seems the most uncomfortable when I'm staring at him. At least this way I can touch him and he's not turning into a beet quite as much' Burying his face in Enasi neck he waits to see if there's anything the other feels like divulging, though in this case Seishu can see it almost being better that he doesn't. The taint of negative energy could act as a shield, but then again, Seishu does not wish for his love to be more uncomfortable than he has to be.

The Power of The Fallen ~ PopeAlessandros x AkiBlue

Kuro lets out an audible sigh as he watches Aoba approach. The angel doesn't even pay any mind to the best following behind him, dragging the farm equipment unceremoniously across the earth. 'Wow, he's more easily distracted that Shuura, and she has the attention span of a gnat' He crosses his arms, Dalia puffing up a bit at the approach of something she doesn't recognize. When at last Aoba gets close enough to talk he starts off by stepping on Dani's toes, and the small demon lets him know that post haste. 'Way to go Little Mouse, and we just got him all puffed up too' Kuro swats at Dani he growls slightly. “I am the first to admit that Dicxson is better at certain things, and you have been breeding for many more years that I, so of course you are better at it, but we both know he's not the best.” He gives Dani a hard look and after a moment he drops his gaze, grumbling in agreement.

While they are talking Dalia wanders over to Aoba and without hesitation bites down gently on the small angel's arm. The bite is not hard enough to hurt, but it does serve to keep the angel still while it's antenna flare out to better examine this new thing. The antenna are soft as down and bush across Aoba's skin where it can reach it. The waving feathery appendages are about as long as the angel's arm, but only a few inches wide, and half an inch thick when relaxed. At the moment they appear a bit bigger as she flares them out during her examination. He sensory pads also take stock of what she can see, and she snorts slightly as she spots Dicxson coming up from behind the angel to continue it's own exploration.

Dani continues pouting. “But, if mine are better than yours at this, why didn't you have be bring another one? Huh?!”

The little brother rolls his eyes. “Because, I have my own, and I know how much you are loath to help me when you don't have to.” Dani thinks for a seconds, then with an evil smile, nods in agreement.

“You're right, I wouldn't have done it.” He eyes Kuro approvingly. “I see you are learning Little Shadow.” Kuro visibly cringes at the nickname his father gave him years ago, the addition of the word little in it considered a great insult.

With a faint hiss he turns away to the sight of Aoba being crowded by the hell beasts. “Dalia, let him go, he's not going anywhere.” She complies after licking Aoba gently, her canine tongue far more pleasant that the feline one from previous generations. Kuro moves in close to the angel, wrapping an arm across his shoulders and speaking in a soft voice. “I hope she didn't startle you, my beasts are a bit selfish, and when they want something, they do whatever they can to take it. It's a flaw I'm trying to breed out, she just wanted to check you out without you having the option to run.” He chuckles and ruffles the angel's hair. “You are going to keep on with Dicxson, and Dalia and I will set up a ways off. We'll both work towards the middle until we've tilled about a quarter of the field. That should be all we need this year. I'll set up markers if you like so you know where to turn.” He smiles warmly at Aoba, Dalia licking the demon's elbow as she tries to demand attention.

When the Roar Falls ~ PopeAlessandros x Raafling

'I wonder if he's doing well. He looked a little flushed when I smiled at him, perhaps he is developing a fever. It did rain yesterday' Ignoring the obvious possibility of the reason behind his guest's behavior he goes over many more unlikely options until at last they have a good pile of cones and he's ready to find a place to set them up. As he looks around for a good spot Aryx speaks up and what he says makes Viltez smile. It is a genuine smile and when he looks over at the man he chuckles lightly. His tail wriggles around behind him, tapping the pine cones curiously. “I don't mind Mister Aryx, and I was not offended. I was a bit surprised, but nothing more. After all, these new sensations of having someone else touch it are very new. Like a baby truly seeing it's mother's face for the first time, I imagine it is quite shocking, which is why their eyes are so wide.”

He giggles at this, the dismissing of the underlying feelings going unnoticed in his effort to make his guest more comfortable. Overhead a bird calls out, it's cry making Viltez look up, raising a hand to shade his eyes as a small sliver of sunlight is let in from the beast taking off. He follows it with his eyes for a while before turning his attention back to the matter at hand. 'Yes, I was not offended, it just felt odd. . .' He huffs lightly and begins scanning the area. “We just need a good spot. . .” His tail once more snakes over towards Aryx to play while he hunts. With a clap he spots a fallen log about a dozen paces away. Pointing at it he smile sat Aryx, ignoring his tail. “There, that's a good spot. If we line them up, I think I can start trying to tell it what to do in a more natural way. You could chuck a few at me randomly as well to see if it responds the same as before!”

The best man is clearly excited to get started, to move on to something new so he doesn't have to reflect as much. Scooping up several from the pile he smiles warmly at Aryx and walks happily over to the log and sets strait to work. He doesn't notice his tail as it begins to curl and coil happily, almost like a cat's while at play. He even begins to hum softly, his mood from before but a distant memory.

We'll take the low road.

Yay, pissed daddy! I think me may be sufficiently relaxed. . . . Poor Amano. . . .He almost wants the man thrown out the window. . .You know, if Kenneth agrees at this point, and wants the option to later say he went against his wishes, then he will have to forgo the announcement of Amano's leaving, unless he is willing to claim later that he was lying. . . .Or. . . .How would that work in your head?

A Bloody Murder

Okay, I think I get the idea. *Mulls it over* I have a response forming, but I have a handful of other replies to get to first. I should have a reply up sometime tonight I think. . . . .

A Bloody Murder

Heheh, I see Rei becoming a little creepy for a while, not sure how to treat this new person. . . . .Doing his best to become one with the furniture :P

Who Will Break? ~ PopeAlessandros x Raafling

The look on the youth's face is priceless, and the priest takes a mental snapshot of the moment to treasure. 'He looks so taken aback, it's adorable! I wonder if he was expecting something different. I have to admit, for this part of town, this is rather impressive. I wonder who forked out the cash to give the youth of the area access to something so amazing. . . .' He thinks on this for a moment before Zach catches his attention. He smiles warmly at the boy, his tone indicating he's not just saying he likes it for the priest's benefit. He accepts the hug graciously and laughs aloud as the boy drags him down the stairs and into the building proper. He feel elated that his little lost sheep is so excited by his gift and allows Zach to direct them across the area.

Kiel too enjoys the sights around them, the aquariums lining the walls having larger fish while the ones running through the middle house mostly shoals of bright colorful fish. After a while however the priest realizes something a bit out of character from his experience. 'I have had many youth cling to me after trauma, but their touches are always for reassurance and the like. He on the other hand. . .The touches are different, as if he's trying to express how happy he is. I suppose it's understandable, but I don't know enough to. . .' Zach grabs his arm, looking up at him brightly before pointing out some fish or another. Kiel smiles back, nodding happily and patting the boy's hand. 'I don't know what it is, but it just feels different that usual' Many eyes follow the two of them around the room, the sight of an excited teenage boy leading a priest around by the hand not something they see every day.

Ignoring the stares however Kiel places all the focus he can muster on the fish, and of course, his ward. He notices after a time that Zach seems to be tiring out and suggests they take a seat at the food court. When the youth complies and they head into the decent sized area, Kiel is delighted to see that a slightly smaller strip of glass runs across the ceiling, allowing for the occasional school to wander overhead moving from one side of the tank to the other. E listens intently to the boy, nodding in agreement every so often. When he spots an opening he says, “Yes, the underwater world is an amazing and relatively unexplored place. I have heard that we know more about the moon than we do the ocean depths. Isn't that funny?” A server walks up a moment later and offers them menus. Kiel takes one with a nod. “Feel free to order something, just try and keep it under ten dollars.” he murmurs, opening his menu to find something to snack on.

This, That, and The Other Thing ~ PopeAlessandros x Jiskastya

No problem, I can wait! You do you RL stuffs :P

This, That, and The Other Thing ~ PopeAlessandros x Jiskastya

Well, that is for us to determine as we go along I suppose. We can just let it tumble through space, and when one of us finds an opening and/or has a brilliant idea, we bring it in! I am thinking nothing too horribly terrible, but we could have it a major factor as to why they re-set everything :P
