The macho man returns!!
So... I knew it was a matter of time before you'd give in all over again.There was no way you couldn't resist me in the slightest. Once someone has a taste of me they know better to run away, but to give it another spin!! That's one of the many powers I have, and it obviously happens to do with how popular I am. So I'm glad you picked me up again.
HOWEVER!
I can't forgive you for getting me involved in this 'mafia' mess. It's a terrible game, and if I had my way I'd just beat up everyone who came up with it in order to stand on top, saving the day! Being bad a lot is not very fun. It used to be, but I'm supposed to turn over a new leaf. Isn't that right?!
And now you're thinking of sending me somewhere new... but you don't even know! Time to decide, but anywhere then that city I'd be OK with. No complaints, no nothing. But it's not like anything can get me down forever, because that is simply not cool for someone who's becoming the idol!
But if you REALLY want to help, you can you know. Sorta, help me with that little problem. You know what I'm talking ab-- HEY DON'T WALK AWAY I'M STILL TALKING!

[ educate him, o zed of zeds ]
no subject
[Aka he knows shit because the mun doesn't either.]
no subject
Hmm... oh! Isn't that the place where you have to get a little touchy to get by? Sounds like it could be a fun place.
[ Handshakes, hugs... those are always nice. ]

[ HERE'S HIS HAND ]
no subject
HOW'S THIS...?!
no subject
NOT... THE AWESOME I HAD IN MIND...
no subject
[He releases, thankfully.]
Surprised, aren't you? Yet your hand wasn't completely crushed so I think we can still be friends.
no subject
I'm glad... yowch. But keep that up for too long and you might have trouble trying to get people to touch you...
no subject
But! If it's to make me more popular, some sacrifices are needed.
no subject
But, well. It was just a game, and Rudy can't really stay mad at him forever
if that's even possible. Plus, it really is good to see a familiar face!]What sort of problem? [Smiling. You see the smiling. Right, Zed? S m i l i n g]
no subject
Look, you see... about that...Well.
[What do what do... damnit he just gives up.]
It's not cool for me to back out of this, so I guess I can say that if you want you can feel free to get back at what I did.
no subject
[Hey, he hears you protected her right? That's pretty redeemable, despite the circumstances.]
In any case, it's only a game. I'm not mad, y'know? Even if you, um, sort of got me killed...
no subject
[He still succumbed to pressure, for killing his best friend for cripes sake, he doesn't know if even protecting one person would make up for it. He's probably taking a moment to collect his thoughts before continuing.]
You're not mad? I know I have a big reputation to hold... but you don't need to hold back! I'm preparing the perfect letter for you in my head even as we speak. It can't be anything less than perfect!
no subject
[He's actually smiling this time. See, Zed can be a good person.]
So, no, I'm not mad. You don't need to write any letters or anything. Honestly? I'm just glad to see a familiar face again.
no subject
[He does a pose.]
Good because I actually did write a little and it's about 9 pages long now.
no subject
[and. that's. why. he kind of doesn't want Zed to go through all that trouble, because Rudy knows very well by now it's totally something he'd do. And it'd be a really long read too.]
Anyway, seems like your mun has plans. [Change of subject!] Any places in mind?
no subject
[He points a finger.]
And the place I have in mind is rekindled because it has 'cuddles' and not 'super death' subscribed on the front of it. It makes sense that it'd be easier to raise my popularity there.
no subject
"Cuddles" sounds a lot better than, well, death. [Honestly, if Rudy had to pick? He'd honestly think Zed would be better off in Saeng Seong.] Not to say Luceti's a bad place, but...
[There's having to explain the demon's curse from Moro that was placed on him, and that's never an easy thing to explain to friends from home. It might be sealed now, but trying to explain (as optimistically as possible!!!) there's a small chance he could basically die over and over and constantly suffer boiling pain was. Well.]
no subject
But what? What's going on with you there? Is there someone who's bullying you?! Or no, even worse... someone is trying to take a dump on your popularity!
no subject
I, um, wouldn't say "bullying" but...
[Let's see. How do we describe Luceti's setting as optimistically as possible? AKA the Rudy style of giving you the bad news in a good way!]
It's like that other place in the sense you're trapped somewhere by a mysterious group of people? [That's a mouthful. Let's try saying that ten times fast! ... Except no.] Except instead you, um, get wings, and we're sometimes made to fight a war against an equally mysterious third party...?
[Hahaha... ha. That wasn't very optimistic. He's not even going to go into the matter of his curse if he can help it.]
I mean, it's not all bad. For one, Jane's there too. It's been a few years for us now. I'm sure there's a lot of interesting people for you to make friends with too!
no subject
[Thankfully he is blissfully oblivious.]
And a few years for you two huh? Hmmmmmm, sounds like a nightime paradise if you know what I mean. Heheheh..
no subject
[Because of course that's what he thinks Zed means, even after a few years growing up. The world might not be Filgaia in the sense it doesn't have two moons, but that didn't make it a completely alien planet. Aside from the natural shifts and the whole not permanently dying thing.]
Well, not flying, since they're kind of small. You can kind of hover with them if you really try? [Nervous smiling??] And you can learn magic, but you're kind of going to have to ask Jane about that. [Because he can't magic worth crap even if he tried.] Still no good at that stuff.
... There's a really neat simulator building too. It's meant for training, but you can make your own scenarios too. I saw someone make a really cool flying machine once. And sometimes people hold fighting tournaments inside it too.
no subject
Wait... so people can make a flying machine in your place? Well, that sounds okay-ish then! But I'm still steering clear of it. If I'm going to sleep and wings are going to be there they might ruin my style!
no subject
[And even more awkward to try and cut holes through shirts for them! But whew. Part of Rudy is actually sighing in relief inwardly; it's not that he didn't miss his friends, it's that part of him feared them being immediately dropped into a draft like Jack did. That as well as other matters.]
As for Saeng Seong, it's just me this time. [Since Jack didn't seem to come back with him and all.] But there's a lot of really nice people there too I'm sure you could make easy friends with.
no subject
Wait...Saeng Seong? Is that the place with cuddles with a different name or another thing entirely?
no subject
["Cuddle place" is a weird way to put it but... Moving on!]
You basically rely on physical contact to get by there. If you don't, say, give someone a handshake every now and then, you kind of get sick. Sort of like a cold. Get what I mean?
no subject
Oh...? I think I might need a demonstration! Hang on because I've cooked up just the thing just for me and you Rudy.
[And he tries to wrap an arm around him to give him a noogie.]
no subject
[OH GOSH WHY HIM HE SHOULD HAVE SAW THIS COMIN--Aaaagh, he's stuck in a headlock!]
Not that...! C-Come on, knock it off!
[It's already bad enough when Jack pulls that on him! And Jack's got hell of a grip - He doesn't want to imagine how bad (or worse) Zed's is, considering the guy's amount of sheer enthusiasm.]
no subject
[He has the enthusiasm of 10 thousand functioning golems. Obviously this will be a bit.]
Don't worry, I'll free you in about a second. I'm sure you can handle a little ruffle or two from your favorite idol!
no subject
If you came to Saeng Seong--or "Rekindle," I suppose--I'm certain you'd be the talk of the town.
no subject
Now I'm definitely motivated to come. People will soon be singing the wild tales of the superstar idol ZED! I'd be world renown in an instant!
i love him already
I admit I'm curious, Zed. What sorts of things make you a "superstar idol," exactly?
gahaha perfect freya is my fav ff ix chara so it works out...!
[He crosses his arms and looks in thought.]
Save the world!! I sing. I also make sure to do all the right things and already I'm on my way to being super popular. That is the meaning of my superstar idol status.
gosh she seems to be popular and i never knew. where has the freya fandom been all my life
[She's not sure how seriously to take the first claim. A lot of people seem to be in the world-saving business, though, so she won't entirely discredit it...]
I'm told there are at least one or two with some musical ability there already. Perhaps you might even form an ensemble?
HAHA hiding.
[He looks pretty excited nonetheless.]
... And by assemble you mean band? Now that you mention it, who wouldn't want to sign up with me?
guys why :c we should all frolick together
[She keeps her amusement to herself as much as she can manage.]
That's the spirit. Your performance would liven up the city significantly. Perhaps you might get dozens of people asking for your autograph?
[It might be a bad idea to feed his ego like this, but she can't help it.]
