A ⦿ Soaking in Your Arrival
    KERPLUNK, SPLASH!

    Regardless of what you were in the middle of, you and your familiar have been magically pulled into the world of Avalon just above the Bay's waters. After a brief plunge into the Bay, the rush of water filling your ears and soaking up into every creak and crevice of your body, you may need to cough to clear your airways when you rise above the surface. You'll definitely see other new arrivals plopping in. If you can't swim, a red-headed woman known only as the Lady of the Lake will drag you to the shore if she doesn't spot someone else near you helping so no one ends up drowning. She's a little busy casting directive magic to make sure everyone lands safely and playing lifeguard, so if anyone attempts to talk to her, she'll tell them to head up to the Rent-a-Ride. The shores themselves are littered with new arrivals complaining their way up a staircase carved into the walls of the White Cliffs. There is no railing, so be careful, but if you do fall, be prepared for a mysterious sand hand to reach out of the side of the cliffs to catch you. The hand will pat you atop the head twice before retreating back into the wall. This is the Cliff Beast; despite the name, he is quite friendly.


B ⦿ The Caravan to Camelot
    Once everyone is wrangled up to the top of the White Cliffs, the handsome owner of the Rent-a-Ride, Archimedes, will distribute smart phones and a pair of earbuds to everyone before getting them settled in groups into modernized carriages pulled by horses and give them a basic explanation of why and how they've been brought to Avalon: The universe is frozen in time and your character has been brought here by a familiar that was able to bond with them. They'll have to learn magic to help save their own world from destruction, but first they've got to get them to Camelot. It is here that you have the first opportunity to decide who they will be in their new home. You'll have about an hour to wander around here, meet and greet, and pet the horses before it's time to go.

    These carriages use fae technology that combats weight, so your character will be able to get in regardless of whether they're light as a feather or weigh two tons. The carts have air conditioning when it's hot, heating when it's cold, and a mystical shield to protect from bugs. There is also a mini-bar that pops out of the console with nip bottles. Characters can use their smartphones to connect to Camelot's internet service, [community profile] avalononline (AOL), to chat with other characters, watch dumb videos, learn about the world, contact Camelot Support (they'll answer any questions they can for you, from how to use a smart phone to where to find quests and resources to learn more about your magic). Be careful if you decide to use your phones while in the caravan-- if you don't use those earbuds and start forcing everyone to listen to your nonsense, Archimedes may make you walk.


C ⦿ The Red Spring
    The journey from the White Cliffs to the City of Camelot is a long one, and the first evening you arrive you'll end up spending at the Red Spring, a booming resort town. Because of the volume of new arrivals and vacationers, inn rooms are assigned two-to-a-room. The rooms have two twin beds, a bathroom, a mini-fridge and microwave, and a TV equipped with a couple of entertaining video games and a few free movies.

    If you don't want to relax in the room, try taking a dip in the spring for another chance to meet your fellow travelers. The waters have restorative properties that help horses and travelers recover quickly when drunk. It is known to relieve stress, improve energy levels, and mildly accelerate healing.

    The springs are also home to a large training grounds just outside town limits, where there are teachers who will teach basic magic safety and help you discover what kind of magic you have together with other new arrivals. Try target practice, obstacle courses, meditation circles, and other ways to try to figure out just what you can do.. if you didn't already have an accidental discovery on the ride there.



A ⦿ Get Fresh
    Upon arrival in Camelot travelers are ushered to a large set of wash rooms where they can clean up and make themselves presentable for the Welcome Feast. They are informed that once the feast concludes there will be an announcement on where they can seek lodging and how to begin their magic studies.


B ⦿ Be Merry
    After they freshen up, travelers are led into the main dining hall. The decorations range from simplistic to a little more grandiose, it is likely everyone will find something familiar. A modern mash up with a medieval flair. The jester makes his rounds, perhaps he has a joke or two to tell, go ahead, give him a listen or perhaps volunteer to participate in one of the jester's shows, like knife-throwing or hypnotism. Within the crowd of staff there are mummers, a juggler, here and there dabbled through small troupes perform mini skits, perhaps they’ll perform a well known verse from a traveler’s world or tell a tale of fancy from this realm.


C ⦿ Eat Well
    A banquet is prepared with food that while all “rustic” in appearance are usually a version of modern dishes ranging from basic roast chicken and veggies to Korean-Mexican fusion and French patisserie. The drinks are much the same; while served in old fashioned goblets, they are drinks modern travelers will be familiar with.

    Have a seat, meet a new neighbor, find a roommate, maybe a new or old friend? Talk to the person to your left, your right, across from you. Mingle, enjoy the food, the music, it shouldn’t be long before the information promised is provided. Till then take your fill and get to know your fellow travelers.




You've been here a few days now and have gotten a chance to settle in, find a place to stay, and Camelot's citizens have decided that you've been here long enough to start living your life again. Well, your new life.

A group of citizens have decided to give everyone their first quest.

"Hear ye, hear ye!" a man in chain mail with a tablet with his statement typed up on it declares to a crowd from atop a pedestal. There are two other citizens around him with phones to post the video to AOL later to make sure the word gets heard ye all around.

"Those with magic, we beseech thee! Findeth us a grail most holy hidden in the depths of the Brocéliande! This holy grail is known to grant thine wishes three, a most noble quest for noble souls! Great reward will come to those who find it and proclaim at least one of their wishes to find the great Excalibur for King Arthur!"

This is the first you've heard about King Arthur, and it seems curious that he hasn't yet shown his face around town. It also seems strange that this guy is speaking like he's stepped out of a bad period piece, and probably should be the clue that this is more or less an attempt to haze some of the newcomers by sending them into the forest... but no one is telling newcomers this. It's better to get them out there and start praciticing, after all.



A ⦿ Lost, and Lost, and Lost Again
    The Brocéliande is well-known around Camelot for being a forest that's both bountiful and mysterious. Oddities are known to happen that may never happen again to the point that even if something weird happens and you can't prove it, most citizens will assume you're telling the truth.

    Which is what makes it peculiar when you keep passing the exact same locations over and over again, as if you've been traveling in circles or reaching the end of the map in a video game and coming out the other end. You're stuck in a space loop. The only way out is to successfully find the one difference in each loop five times in a row and collect it. Maybe it's a strange frog, a crystal that wasn't there before, a small wooden step that doesn't lead anywhere, or some other singular item, you've got to find what stands out... pick the wrong item, and you'll have to start your five count over again, and again, and again...


B ⦿ Grail, and Grail, and Grail Again!?
    If you either missed the space loop or managed to get out of it, eventually you'll come to find one of... quite a few copies of a grail with holes in the side placed throughout the forest. They look like they might be good for draining noodles, but that's about it. Though they're spread out, it's entirely possible you'll find more than one, but each of them are placed in situations where it's impossible to get to by normal means. You'll have to use magic! It may be hidden in a bird's nest at the top of the tallest tree, inside of a hole in a rock with bars that prevent you from reaching in (perhaps an animal friend could reach it), inside a boiling pond, or inside the body of a bear fir... there are a load of possibilities, and now's a chance for you to try out your brand new magics! Use one of those samples, find something from the bestiary, or come up with your own adventure to get your hands on that less-than-holy grail.


C ⦿ A Quest Completeish
    Or it would be, if you could ever find the guy who announced it... The AOL posts have since been deleted. You may end up spending a lot of time trying to find the guy. At this point, citizens will start telling you that you shouldn't take quests unless they're on the quest board or else you're going to get scammed... that's definitely an olden times themed noodle strainer. If that doesn't make you give up, or perhaps motivates you to find the guy to kick his ass, you'll have to head out to the farmland and chase them through a cornfield. (Be careful not to get lost, it's a maize in there.) If one of the boys are caught, they'll explain they were just testing you-- and hey, you got a free addition to your kitchen! If pressed, they'll apologize and give you a bit of money for your trouble. It's not much, but it'll get you at least a meal.

Kazunari Takao | Kuroko's Basketball | Prisma CRAU

[personal profile] deliveryhawk 2020-11-05 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
The Red Spring:

Curious by nature and after his trip to Lunatia, Takao can not help but explore the springs some. For the first part after their arrival, he is peeking in places, the springs, and the training ground. A small night sparrow on his shoulder, the two seem to get along alright as the baller tilts his head on occasion as if hearing something.

Of course, it's the familiar singing; the strange thing is, he's realized no one else can hear him, so maybe he looks a little crazy. Then again, they just landed in a world with magic, and supposedly now, he has magic. He is going to hold off on testing that.

Takao wants a little ordinary more than anything; there is nothing normal about this. Finally, he decides to make his way to the room he was assigned. Not sure how he feels about sharing with someone he does not know, he crosses his fingers as he steps in with that usual smirk.

"Pardon the intrusion," And he is toeing his shoes off; some habits will never break, it seems.

Lost and Lost and Lost Again!

Of course, Midorima heard the word wish and the night's mission came to find this Holy Grail item for the shooter. Of course, Takao is in because he is always in. Splitting up seemed the best way to go about it; his familiar could always fly and find Midorima if they find one.

The problem is, everything is off; he has been going in what feels like circles for hours. When he stops this time, the point guard throws his hands in the air, startling the small bird from his shoulder.

"Are you kidding me?! I've seen this stupid tree twenty times now."

How did he get lost? He was careful, paid attention, honestly. He was taking this quest seriously because, with time frozen, there are no horoscopes. Midorima is going to need some lucky something, he does not do well without, and so Takao is more than a little mad; in fact, he goes to kick the tree in front of him, misses, and lands on his bottom on the ground with a huff.

The familiar just flattering above his head, and he glares up. "Go ahead, laugh when he has a breakdown, and plucks one of your feathers because it's lucky you won't be laughing then!"

Wildcard: Want something else, go for it!

Hotsprings wild card 8D ahah...

[personal profile] dvine 2020-11-05 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Kise was never studious in his life in things that didn't interest him. It's just how things were. Basketball and few subjects were alright but anything else fell through. So when he arrived here and learned he can actually PROPERLY cast magic, he threw himself at it. His familiar, Vila, told him what he should practice and he was doing that.

In the evening, completely spent, Kise drops in by the baths. They reminded him of onsens back home and Kise was delighted to just soak in it for hours on end. He could hear the door open in front of him, but his view was obscured by his familiar. She's sitting on the edge of the springs, her whispy clothes floating around her, bunching down around her waist, leaving her topless.

Kise inherently knows she's a master illusionist and handles the wind without a problem, so she had received just a frown from him. He figured that since he's alone in here, he doesn't care what she does.

But when the door opens, she is the first thing that Takao sees- hands in her hair as if she's washing it and making a messy bun out of it, very skimpily dressed, flushed from the bath with legs still in the water. Kise's trying to see who came in but she's blocking his field of vision for now.

[personal profile] deliveryhawk 2020-11-08 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
Takao is, in fact, a good student, studying does not bother him, and maintains his grades out of a sense of duty to his parents, basketball, and because one day he wants to have a future. Magic, kind of freaks him out so while he is excited, he is also nervous and has not done much practicing. Instead, he spent his time familiarizing himself with their new home.

He has explored around so he is reasonably certain he knows which baths are the men's and right now relaxing in an onsen that does not have enchanted waters and can just remind him of home sounds like heaven.

When he opens the door, he expects someone may be in there. What he does not expect is what appears to be a half-naked woman, tying her hair up into a messy bun. He jumps so harshly that the night sparrow on his shoulder flutters up and away from him in shock.


"Huh?!" He actually stands there for several heartbeats, flush tinting his ears as Takao Kazunari is struck speechless. Once he gets his brain back functioning from seeing the most naked woman he has ever seen in person in his entire life he sputters.

"I..excuse me I thought this was the men's bath!"

Back in Lunatia, Kise had magic as well, to warm things up. But that was the extent of it. This time it was more, well, real. Today he even managed to conjure a shield. It lasted for ten seconds but he still succeeded! It was very cool!

It's also very draining which is why he is on verge of dozing off. The door opening and a very familiar voice, however, snap him out of his daydreaming. Finally, he peers past his familiar, still not paying attention that she's, well, half-naked and his eyes light up when he sees Takao.

"Takaocchi!" He doesn't even know if this is THE Takao he knows but- Takao! It's Takao! He gives him a happy wave with both of his hands. "Come on in!"
The woman, half-turned Takao's way, gives him a gentle, mischevious smile, but makes no move to leave or get dressed or anything. Just shifts ever so slightly to the left to make some space for Takao to get into the pool.

Takao never did a lot with his magic on Lunatia, maybe zapped someone softly as a joke or charged a phone to see if he could. For the most part, when Iris was not making him weird, he tried to live as normal of a life as possible. Finding Kise and seeing his friend's enthusiasm for their new skills may help him go for it and throw his caution to the wind.

He is stuck in place, staring at that woman, then he hears Kise. Wait, Kise?! He blinks once, head-clearing as he leans around her, and his face lights up just as much.

"Kise!" Wait, why is Kise in a bath with a half-naked woman and acting as if it is no big deal. Oh god, that smile, why did she do that, why is she so comfortable here?!

Oh, no way, he is not getting in that pool near her, nope, excuse him while he slides around to the other side, watching her cautiously till he gets close to Kise. Sliding in, he sidles right up against the other player's side, not in the least bit shy about wrapping a hand around his arm and leaning in to whisper.

"What am I walking into?" Is he interrupting? He has no idea, but of the two people in this bath at the moment, Kise feels the safest to him, so excuse him while he stays right there beside him.

[personal profile] dvine 2020-11-10 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
The only magic Kise did was when Midorima demanded to keep the water in the bathtub warm. Or when he kept his own tea warm as he drank it. But that's about it.

Kise waves, standing up a bit in the small pool, waving frantically. He doesn't seem to notice what Vila is doing. To him, she's just sitting there, playing with water. He beams at Takao when he comes to his side, but a bit confused as he clings to him.

"Walking into? What are you talking about?"

Vila gives Kise a raised eyebrow, but what Takao sees is a suggestive chuckle and her crossing her legs. The only cover on her upper body is her hair that she didn't manage to pin into a bun.
deliveryhawk: (whoa whoa whoa)

[personal profile] deliveryhawk 2020-11-11 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
The first one would come as no surprise to Takao what so ever. A certain someone is very spoiled, isn't he? Lucky Kise, Takao is turning seven shades of red and doing his best not to look directly or indirectly at her.

When Kise asks that question Takao sputters and jabs a finger at the familiar. His own choosing that moment to settle on top of his raven-haired head.

"She's half-naked!"

Oh god! What does he do? Well, probably not what he does, which is scoot in closer and hold a little tighter to Kise. Why, because Kise is safe and that familiar is giving him a look that he is not sure what to do with.

"Like that, did you see that?!"
dvine: (11)

[personal profile] dvine 2020-11-11 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Kise is very, very confused. Okay, maybe Takao's embarrassed that a familiar is going to see him naked, sure, but he's not acting as if he's embarrassed because of that.

Especially after he yells that she is the problem, for being half-naked.

"Huh..." He stares at Vila, who stares back. Then raises an eyebrow at him, and it finally clicks and blond runs a hand down his face. But also chuckles because, he can't deny, it IS amusing. A little.

"Don't pay mind to her, she's not naked." He sits back down in the water, dragging Takao with him with a laugh. "She's an illusionist. She's probably pulling a prank on you."

As he says that, the illusion-vila blows Takao a kiss and disappears in gentle wisps of light.
deliveryhawk: (again?)

[personal profile] deliveryhawk 2020-11-13 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
Thankfully Kise did not say that out loud because it would add a whole other layer to his current issue. He has not thought of his nakedness so much as the familiar's.

When Kise laughs, Takao stares at him as if he has grown an additional head. What is so funny?

"Huh?!" When Kise pulls him back, Takao offers no resistance, not eager to move away from the blond, while his familiar is being far too familiar for the young man.

Then she blows him a kiss, shooting color straight across his cheeks before she disappears. Once she is gone, he slumps into Kise in relief, huffing out a breath that sends a strand of raven hair bouncing.

"That's ridiculous; she looked like she had no clothes on the top of half of her body; you really couldn't see it?"
dvine: (37)

[personal profile] dvine 2020-11-15 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
"I said, she was using an illusion on you, she's not naked," Kise says with a little bit of a grin as they settle back in the water. "She's a master illusionist, made it that only you could see her that way. I walked into the wall earlier, she tricked me, showing the doors were there when they weren't." His nose still stings from the impact.

He watches her, a bit unimpressed, when she disappears, and then reappears next to Takao's side. Dressed, this time. But clothes are still sticking to her so she might as well be undressed. She flicks Takao's bangs and then disappears again. But this time she won't be coming back.

Hopefully?

"Sorry you had to see that," Kise laughs sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head.

Lost

[personal profile] greedyvixen 2020-11-07 08:04 am (UTC)(link)
The real question is are they kidding Rin with this Holy Grail thing?! She's a Holy Grail War winner, surely this is a joke or something else, but guess it could be this world's version of some children's version of a war like that too.

Rin sees him complaining there, she could be complaining too but so far? She's been surprisingly good at pretending to be all cool, calm, elegant and collected. But that's only SO FAR! She doesn't expect that to last forever if she keeps on running in circles here. Why is she even here? Probably making sure this is nothing like her world's version of that war and hey, she is curious about local magic and surely this thing will show some of that...

Speaking of which... Rin glances at him while she's standing near him and making a note to herself about locals being totally unhelpful with this thing.

"Congratulations. You're stuck in some kind of a magical loop until you find your way out."

It's the obvious answer. What's less obvious is -- everything else?? But hey, it's that one girl from Ren's housewarming party and wherever else they may have seen during their time in Lunatia. Not that Rin's assuming anyone to be from there by any defaults, people leaving and forgetting everything is so much more likely than people being from there too.
deliveryhawk: (i heard something interesting)

[personal profile] deliveryhawk 2020-11-08 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
"Huh? A magical what?" He turns at the sound of the voice, recognizing her immediately. He is the exact opposite and just assumes everyone he sees from Lunatia here is the same person he knew there. It is both relief and a bit of sadness when it lends to the worry about the people he left behind.

Like the very man, she thinks of his housewarming party where they first met.

"Rin? Please tell me you know how to get out of this." Yeah, he does not assume she might be as turned around as him. Since she seems to know what she is talking about he is going to be happy and hope this is his rescue in sight now.
greedyvixen: (215)

[personal profile] greedyvixen 2020-11-08 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
"Magical loop-- things like time loop, space loop, Hell loop and so on. They're places where you're stuck with no way out until you figure it out... Assuming a way like that even exists."

Oh boy, it's so easy to see (and hear) how they are opposites with the different worlds but same people thing. Hearing Takao saying her name surprises Rin just a bit, not what she's expecting to hear but a welcome surprise either way. Okay, so he rememberes Lunatia too. Good, good. Or maybe it's bad depending how different this world ends up being, but only time would tell that. So far it's been nice.

"So, we meet again... I have some ideas but the real question is what do I get for sharing them with you?" There is a hint of smirk in her smile after that. It's not like she'll help anyone just because she can or because she's so nice and helpful, she leaves that kind of helping to other people. "Anything is an acceptable answer too."
deliveryhawk: (looks like fun)

[personal profile] deliveryhawk 2020-11-08 04:32 pm (UTC)(link)
"Seriously? I'd almost rather be back in twisted alien sexland." The point guard throws his hands up in frustration. However, the addition of a familiar face who seems to have some knowledge is welcome.

Takao may not have enjoyed Lunatia as freely as some others or at least some aspects of it if he did not, but he was still happy there if confused at times about what he wanted. One thing Avalon will give him, more freedom of choice without a moon poking at his feelings.

Of course, he snickers there is a price, and at this point, he will pay it because he wants out of here. Not that he has much to bargain with, depending on what she is wanting. He showed up with almost the same items that came from home with him, save the addition of his fish he and Midorima had picked out for the pond. "I'll cook for you for a week, every meal? Or name your price; I'm bordering on desperate here; he needs that Holy Grail thing if it's good luck or worth a wish."

He was a decent cook, to begin with; thanks to Kagami, he has gotten even better; maybe that will work?
greedyvixen: (21)

[personal profile] greedyvixen 2020-11-08 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
"Seriously and that was only a few examples. At least that place let me keep my own magic even if the whole thing about everyone being stuck there and different things happening every month was like another loop too..." Loops, going around in circles and so on, no idea if this place is going to be kind of like that too.

Rin's still calm as ever, for now, let's see how long that's going to last but yes, she misses her own magic already. And she liked her extra abilities in Lunatia too, it's going to be weird being without them now. No idea how she feels about this place, not yet, time would tell that too. Less freedom? More freedom? Somewhat similar to Lunatia even if its another world? Who knows, she'll figure it out with or without telling anyone about it.

Yes, he'll have to pay a price for the prize of getting out of this maze / loop / circle / whatever anyone wants to call this thing. Rin flashes a quick smile and nods. "Food is always acceptable, so it's a deal then." She'll gladly take that even if Archer is around and Shirou may be somewhere here too. Others may be great cooks but Tohsaka has her own favorites, but it's not like he needs to know that now.

Rin looks more serious after that. "I wouldn't trust that damn cup with any luck or wishes..." ...Did he hear that? Probably, too bad, since she doesn't sound all prim and proper there even when she mostly still tries to keep that facade going but more importantly...!! Rin tilts her head curiously. "What have you tried so far? Just walking around?"
deliveryhawk: (thats kind of embarrassing)

[personal profile] deliveryhawk 2020-11-11 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
"You know, for about a minute I thought magic might be cool." If he could figure out how to move what he wants, instead of the smallest object near him, it might be. "Now, I'm thinking it's a lot of work."

Which he does not mind, except, it's not basketball and so far this world does not have basketball or lucky items apparently. Which means, it is going to be a long transition. For all it's quirks, at least Lunatia had those two things, both of which he'd give almost anything for right now. Takao would be calmer, except, he knows he is facing the imminent meltdown status of someone he cares very deeply for.

That means, he has to find this thing, and even if it means pretending till he can get the real deal, that's what he will do. If Midorima will even fall for it. At this point, he'll do whatever he can, he has his priorities. There is relief and an instant smile on the point guard's face.

"You're a lifesaver, even if this thing turns out to be a fake if it can get him through the night I'll find some damn lucky something first thing tomorrow." Which means, Takao is getting up at the crack of dawn to beat Midorima to waking and scouring Camelot for anything lucky. No offense taken, prim and proper is not going to save the day.

"I tried using magic to move some of the smaller stuff, mostly leaves. I suck at this." So yes, mostly just walking around till he finally stopped here and had his little meltdown.

Lost... this is gonna be good

Gokudera has been wandering around, realizes he's lost... but he hasn't been lost for very long. His run-in with his familiar was short and something he thinks is -for the most part- unbelievable. The cryptid did not follow him, but it also could still be. Gokudera has a feeling it's hiding well, the green of its body doing well to camouflage it as its webbed paws slide against the ground. Honestly, he thought the Ogopogo would be bigger, but this must be a younger version of the creature he's always wanted to meet. It sort of resembles a mutated crocodile, but he's not sure if he got a good enough look. That seems to be its best ability. He hears it slide, knows it's been following him, and then suddenly he hears someone else in the forest.

"Hello?" The bag of snacks he'd bought to bring over to the Tenth's hangs in his hand and he peers around the tree Takao had just kicked.

There is a hissing behind him, and he glances back, and... no must have just been the wind.

Welcome to the club; Takao has so far run into new faces and ones he recognizes from Lunatia. The thing is, everyone he recognizes so far has been the exact person he knew, meaning they recognized him. In truth, it leaves him worried about his friends there he has not seen because if this many people are being sucked into another world, what does that mean for the ones who aren't?

Either way, between that worry, the worry of imminent Midorima Shintarou meltdown, he is ready to sit down and cry or throw things or something.

When he hears the hello, he turns his head to the side; when he sees silver hair atop a familiar face, he lets out a long, hard sigh.

"Really of all the people." It had to be this guy, why this guy? They have had exactly two conversations, and neither of them went well. Takao Kazunari slumps and looks utterly defeated at this moment. Fuck his life.

Gokudera is in a very different club, thanks. He recognizes absolutely no one. It's just been him in the woods searching around for some grail or whatever, and certain that it's not real, has just gotten distracted trying to spot his familiar. It's like they're playing some odd game of hide-and-go-seek. But clearly, this guy sitting down on the ground is just as lost as he is, and upset about it.

He wonders if he should offer him help, even when he hears the rude remark, sees recognition on the other young man's face, and his own reflects a confused sort of hurt. That... was offensive.

"Tch!" He has nothing really to say to this person, who somehow recognizes him. Even if he doesn't. Even if this guy has horrible vision and isn't wearing glasses and is mistaking him for someone, Gokudera isn't just going to stick around and be insulted.

He reaches into his bag and grabs a snack out of it. On his way to the Tenth's home, he'd grabbed some little candies with toys for the kids to keep them distracted. Lambo is usually cooperative if he's given candy, and the cute trinket isn't going to be something the bomber wants anyways. He has no need for cute little toys and soda candies, so lobs it right at the guy staring up at Gokudera like he's the biggest inconvenience of his life.

There... have a candy and a cute charm. Maybe it'll cheer you up? Gokudera's turning around and leaving with his familiar lurking somewhere around.
deliveryhawk: (i heard something interesting)

[personal profile] deliveryhawk 2020-11-17 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, wow, wait, that confused sort of hurt, no comment of greasy. Fuck, now he feels bad; it is instant in him since Takao, for all his teasing tendencies, is not a bad guy overall.

Then he lobs candy, and a cute charm at Takao and the point guard's face falls. He immediately calls out, "Wait, wait! You don't recognize me, don't want to insult me from trying to help you in Lunatia when you were new?"

Damn, right, "My bad, I thought you were someone else or you but a different, I don't know, it's all confusing" He drops to the ground cross-legged and buries his face in his hands as the yosuzume settles atop his head.

"I'm sorry..that was rude of me."

Hearing the other implore him to wait does give Gokudera pause. He looks over his shoulder at him, a pout on his lips. “What the fuck are you talking about?”

He has no idea what a Lunatia is, or what the hell this guy even did to try and help him. Gokudera crosses his arms and looks confused and irritated.

But the guy is apologizing for his remark and Gokudera rolls his eyes. Eugh he doesn’t want to deal with drama. Instead, he walks right up and offers him a hand. “Think you’ve been lost in this forest too long...” Weird jerk. “Everything you said sounded like nonsense.”
deliveryhawk: (thats kind of embarrassing)

[personal profile] deliveryhawk 2020-11-20 05:57 pm (UTC)(link)
He blinks for a moment, then sighs, he had heard of this happening on Lunatia even people leaving and coming back only to forget they were ever there before. He assumes that something in the transfer from one world to another Gokudera must have forgotten his time in Lunatia. Never assumes this is a version of the guy who was never there, to begin with.

When Gokudera offers him a hand Takao takes it, coming to his feet he rolls his shoulders with a sigh.

"Nothing makes sense in this stupid forest, let's start fresh, I'm Takao and I am pretty sure I've been walking in circles for hours at this point. Know the way out, by chance?"
bakudan_bambino: (aggravated)

[personal profile] bakudan_bambino 2020-11-20 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
“Gokudera,” he says to introduce himself as well and frowns a little harder. Hours? Takao has been wandering around for hours?

“Well, not exactly.” He doesn’t want company, but he’ll take his chances. Two heads are better than one, and maybe Takao can tell him if the area they will go through looks familiar. It’s all pretty fresh to Gokudera, and he looks around. This area doesn’t seem similar to the one he was just going through, but then, he hadn’t realized he was lost.

“Don’t know much of anything in this world, though... so I feel like I’ve been lost the entire time I’ve been here.” With so much unfamiliar, it’s no big deal that he can’t find his way. The objective is currently to find anyone he knows.
deliveryhawk: (these eyes miss nothing)

[personal profile] deliveryhawk 2020-11-24 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
"Nice to meet you." Well, that feels weird; this interaction is entirely different than the last one. Takao almost feels like he is missing another person and marvels at what a difference first impressions can make. Sure, he still seems like a prickly guy, but a little more open to talking, at least?


Takao has excellent eye-sight so that he saw the same thing over and over again became apparent to him. The problem, it did not matter as he could not figure out what to do about it. It was like he is caught in a loop. He is grateful when Gokudera agrees to try working through this together. Two heads and two sets of eyes has to be better than one.

He lets out a soft, self-deprecating snicker. "You and me both, I don't know anything about magic and familiars." Okay, maybe some thanks to light novel reading with Mayuzumi in Lunatia. But how could any of that even apply here? It is not like they are in some novel.

"Guess best to try walking; I'll watch left, you watch right, maybe we'll see something weird? Or out of place?"
