Woke up with a vengeance... But still not going anywhere (Canon is Phantasy Star IV)

[myspriteisbigger]

I thank you so much for not wanting to put me anywhere.  I know you, and the trouble you cause.  But I'm grateful for being able to get out for a bit.  I guess.

Your expectations are too low.

[myspriteisbigger]

How so?

[ashandfire]

Don't you deserve adventure? Freedom?

[myspriteisbigger]

If it's this girl I'll end up somewhere haunted again. Or worse.

[ashandfire]

So you prefer nothing compared to complications?

[myspriteisbigger]

That depends on the complications. The aforementioned haunted place I could probably deal with. But if she decided on something worse... No thank you.

[Come on, he already has a brain with like 4000 years of knowledge in it. What else does he need?]

[ashandfire]

An unrested spirit sounds very complicated to me. You should try to put it to rest.

{He tilts his head, his dark hair sliding against his long ears.}

What could be worse?

[myspriteisbigger]

The place she had me a while ago, there was no way to do much of anything as far as I could tell.

[And then a small look of amusement]

Well, there's always the adult stuff that these "never stopped being a teenager" are so fond of threatening with.

[ashandfire]

How sad. {Despite his calm demeanor, it does hit a raw note with him.} I think I would keep searching no matter how fruitless the endeavor.

{Ah, that.}

I am curious how they would handle that for me. {Being genderless and all.}

Just like Kohaku~ xD

[myspriteisbigger]

I would have, probably. Especially since Alys was there.

[A surprise to him, since he'd watched her die. But they always made a great team, after all. And then a small smirk.]

I don't know about with you, but it would be hard with me as well. I'm so not interested.

:D

[ashandfire]

Alys is important to you?

{He rests his cheek against his hand, eyes half-lidded.}

I wouldn't say I'm not interested. {He does love one.} But I've been denied...essential parts.

Used to play her/him. Also know Ashura

[myspriteisbigger]

We were friends from a young age.

[And he may have loved her, too, but he won't say it. Instead, he just nods slightly at Ashura's words]

That must be difficult.

Ahhh yay! -not alone-

[ashandfire]

Do you know where she is currently?

{He shrugs and smiles - a clever mask, perhaps.}

If I desire heirs, yes.

:) Nope not at all.

[myspriteisbigger]

[He hides a small frown behind his gloved hand, glancing away, then back again]

Dead, likely. It was only a fluke she was where I was...

-parties-

[ashandfire]

I'm sorry. {To lose one so loved... And he is without a wish or a hope...} Death will bring you together in time.

Someday perhaps Kohaku will rise again!

[myspriteisbigger]

[Is that supposed to help? He gives a faintly incredulous look, but decides to just accept it as what it is.]

Maybe. I'm glad my time is finite, anyway.

/starry eyes

[ashandfire]

{In a way. Ashura has accepted his own demise.}

It seems a strange thing to say, but an end is a gift too.

[myspriteisbigger]

I know.

[He indicates his head]

I have 4000 years of knowledge up here. Life and death. And the man who originally put this into play, he slept in cryo for a millenia; no one he knew lived when he thawed.

So, strange or not, it's the truth.

[ashandfire]

I believe I know how he feels. {Since he too slept and was awoken by Yasha.} To wake in a new world can be scary, yet think of all the possibilities.

[myspriteisbigger]

He expected it to be different... And after the heroes of the time disappeared, he spent his own time gathering information and figuring out how to transfer knowledge.

[Now he gives an amused look]

And I'm afraid he was rather an isolated man. The only persons he liked well were his master, Odin, Myau and Alis.

[ashandfire]

Can you blame him? Most would hope that with enough time, positive change would be visible.

{He toys with a bangle on his wrist.}

What's wrong with that?

[myspriteisbigger]

Positive change, huh...? I've learned to expect things only to stay positive for a while. Then, they inevitably turn. But maybe I am jaded.


[ooc: Yet Lutz' personality changed so damn much between game 1 and 2!]

[ashandfire]

Incredibly jaded. {He teases, smirking.} But perhaps realistic too.

[myspriteisbigger]

I usually hear less about being realistic, more about being a jerk. [He smirks back] I think it's my charming personality.

[ashandfire]

I must be accustomed to jerks. {Or he is one.

ONE OR THE OTHER.} The truth is not especially liked at times of chaos and uncertainty.

[myspriteisbigger]

Or in general, I've found. People like to gloss it over, to make things more palatable.

[ashandfire]

It gives them more comfort in their day to day existences. I cannot wholly blame them.

[myspriteisbigger]

I suppose... I've never found a use for it.

[ashandfire]

Respectable, though I take it you have never been a King?

[myspriteisbigger]

No.

[ashandfire]

A King must think for all; not just himself.

[myspriteisbigger]

Then I'm glad not to be a king. No offense to you.

[ashandfire]

It is a difficult occupation, I admit. You tell me nothing I do not know.

[myspriteisbigger]

I'm sure. You seem very knowledgeable.

[ashandfire]

Would a god be any less?

HELLO STRANGER

[fonewearl]

Looks like somebody had to scratch the itch again.

At least it's just that and not something serious, huh?

[myspriteisbigger]

Depends on the god.

:)

[myspriteisbigger]

That is very true.

[fonewearl]

So, out of curiosity, what's the occasion? I mean, there's usually some kind of reason for being let back out here like this. [Though "they felt like it" is a valid answer and she knows it.]

[myspriteisbigger]

Well, I kind of decided I wanted to harass a wizard from a different canon, so here I am.

[As if he'll be completely controlled by his mun, thank you!]

[ashandfire]

What of a god of war?

[myspriteisbigger]

They don't always need great knowledge, although it would assist them.
