[You are greeted with the sound of randomly disrupted static, at the end of which three melodic beeping signals are heard. Yep, that's your cue to leave a message!]
[He will meet him at the BARiTONES dorm dressed up in shorts, a terrible hawaiin shirt, and star sun glasses because he can! And he will indeed take him to the beach though he'll carry with him an umbrella.]
I thought the sun would do us both some good.
Now, the news might be a little sad to here, but would you care to hear his tale?
[TIPS UMBRELLA SO IT'S COVERING THEM BOTH AT LEAST. Also oh my god why can't you just say things outright!!!]
Well, I do remember some things. Your appellation of them as the grape lover, for one. And the fact that you seemed to hold some kinds of feelings for them.
[Mostly, he just remembers whatever is embarrassing for Emet.]
[He will just sit closer so he doesn't have to strain his arm as much.]
I hold feelings for you, too, you know. But yes, the three of us spent quite a lot of time together. You two used to get in all amounts of trouble. The reason I sent him your way is that he is a shard of Azem. And while he didn't have his memories of you, his mannerisms were quite similar. I thought he would be a comfort.
And now another version of him has shown up on your unit. He seems a little less sure of himself. Not in lack of conviction, but ... well, it is hard to describe.
I imagine you were going to anyway, but I wanted to ask you to watch out for him. To take care of him. Not that I won't be, but it is much easier for you since you are unit mates.
[Okay give him a minute to process the whole feelings bit and then decide Emet must mean non-romantic because it would be in his character to "sike" out of it that way.]
Of course I'll look after him. Did you know, he picked his position faster than any of us have ever seen - he seemed to grasp the situation very quickly. Usually people spend some time being confused... but he was very quick to act. For a moment I thought he might be an audition, but he does genuinely seem to be missing his memories. That, or he is an even better actor than you and Lahabrea.
This particular shard did perish and walked as a ghost on the First for quite some time. I imagine the isolation can be overbearing at times. So if he is feeling rather down, I would care to know.
I really do wish you would be more open with me, Hades. It gets quite tiring to feel like a pawn in your schemes, being the only one who lacks context for what's going on. And it's not even as though I can say no to you, and it makes me feel all the more helpless.
[He has to pause to think about this because he was being as straightforward as this man is capable.]
The complications for us rise from, well, doing our best to kill one another. Even if we understand each other, 'tis still difficult. Luckily, it a path we no longer have to travel, and thus the healing can begin, but it will take time.
Outside of that, have you other questions on my motives? He is undoubtedly lonely considering his circumstances, and past history has shown not only you two to be compatible, but even thrive in each's other company. You can say as little or as much as you want to me about how things are faring. 'Tis your relationship with each other. I'm simply encouraging a start.
Levity nods thoughtfully, seemingly satisfied with the answer.]
I see. I believe that as long as you both remember that there is no need for that forced animosity, you should be fine. And for my part... I'll do my best to stay out of your relationship too, then.
[After a moment, though, he looks thoughtful again.]
But... I will admit that something feels a little off to me. He is different from the man we knew on WILD CITY. You were right to say that he seems less certain of himself, and... in the little time I've spoken with him, there was the feeling I got that he was looking to determine a place for himself. A way to act, perhaps, a... role to fulfill. Seeking a sense of belonging, much as I was at the start. As I still do.
[He crosses his legs, staring at the sand.]
That was why I did not think he was an audition. It's hard to properly quantify and describe, of course, merely a gut feeling. But I do wonder if this version of him did not live through a different past. These things can happen here, don't they?
Day 420
Date: 2021-11-29 04:25 am (UTC)Hades: It is about your new unitmate.
Re: Day 420
Date: 2021-11-29 04:29 am (UTC)Accomplice: Do you mean Dignity?
Re: Day 420
Date: 2021-11-29 04:34 am (UTC)[But is he going to call him that? Nah.]
Hades: I do not believe he is the same as the one on Wild City.
Hades: Did you ever determine your connection to him?
Re: Day 420
Date: 2021-11-29 04:56 am (UTC)Accomplice: I am guessing there is one, otherwise you wouldn't be messaging me...
Accomplice: Why not just tell me what you suspect outright? :P
Re: Day 420
Date: 2021-11-29 04:59 am (UTC)Hades: And bring your summer clothes.
Re: Day 420

Re: Day 420

And here I was hoping it might be a pleasant conversation for once. But, before you tell me... Does he know?
Re: Day 420
Date: 2021-11-29 05:24 am (UTC)....
[Give him a moment. That outfit.]
You are going to roast, my friend.
Re: Day 420
Date: 2021-11-29 05:31 am (UTC)Haven't you got sunscreen?
Re: Day 420
Date: 2021-11-29 05:33 am (UTC)How much do you remember about Azem in your memories?
[Look, he's just here to cause confusion so Levity can figure out he's Elidibus later.]

Re: Day 420
Date: 2021-11-29 06:11 am (UTC)And he might be guarded simply because he woke up without familiar faces. But I am a little surprised at his adaptability.
But that is my nefarious scheme. Terrible, I know.
Re: Day 420
Date: 2021-11-29 06:20 am (UTC)I wonder if one day one of you will arrive with a corruption that forces you to be honest. That would be a nice change of pace for me.
Re: Day 420
Date: 2021-11-29 06:29 am (UTC)But I think socializing would do wonders for you both. Awkward as it might be from time to time.
Re: Day 420

Re: Day 420
