dear_mun | Canon is Asura's Wrath

[Ah, hello there Yasha. Hope you don't mind the irate company of an Asura that just saw a big-ass spider-god possess his daughter.

Then again, when is his company NOT irate...]

Yasha? They took you too?

[Nah, it's cool. Yasha's come to accept there's no way he'll be anywhere without Asura showing eventually. Accept. But never enjoy.]

Incredible. More than 12,000 years and you finally accomplish reason!

[Yeah Asuras' just gonna growl at your cheek because he does not need that right now because SPIDERBUDDHA HAS MITHRA YOUR BULLSHIT IS NOT NECESSARY OKAY?]

More than you could accomplish against the Gohma. Where is Mithra?!

[Oh shit. Yasha drops into his firm level tone that lets people know he's taking things seriously now, and anyone who wants to punch his eyes out can just keep on swingin' failure like a monkey.]

I was hoping you would tell me, actually. What happened last?

[Because clearly whether she's here or not doesn't matter.]

Eh? You saw it- that spider took her!

[Haven't you missed these enlightening discussions Yasha? I'm sure you have.]

[Halos at every word, Asura.]

...That long ago.

[Yasha smiles. The slightest turn. He snorts softly.]

Though I do not expect you to understand, I come from a later time. We fought the spider. You fared worse than me - Mithra told me to take care of you. So I took you to Gaea...and you will never beat me.

... What?

[The beat the spider, that he can get.]

What are you saying...

[That he got beat up badly, he understands that too...]

Where is... what happened to her?! Why isn't she with...

[But why he can't be with his daughter? That, he will not comprehend.]

[Aw here he goes Mr. Monologue.]

...I can't say. I don't know. She may show here, but that may just make it worse. Is it not better to fight for your belief, regardless of uncertain success, then gain what you've long fought for, only to lose it on the journey home? What happens here...no one remembers entirely. But there may be whispers of memory, a fresh harboring of rage you won't quite recall the source of...but that's no different from now, is it?

[Oh Yasha, haven't you learned by now? Why he fought untold hordes of Gohma, defied Deus and did what none of you could?]

I... don't give a damn what happens here, or what you're babbling about!

[For her. Always for her.]

WHERE IS MY DAUGHTER?!

Control yourself! You can't force Mithra to show here. There's no one to fight! You will go back. You will go back and move forward as you have for centuries. So calm yourself, Asura! If death will not keep you, nothing in life can.

[It's usually very hard for Asura to stop himself once he's got a good scream-mood going. But this time... this one, glorious time? Yasha succeeds. Because when Asura has spent so much time bashing himself bloody against the fourth wall, he COULD use a little bit of time to recover...]

... These walls... these mind-prisons... they bind us both. You say you're content with this?

[Yasha hears the reply. He hears and listens and comprehends. But...from Asura? He whose anger burned so strong it scorched his body and soul?]

...I am not content. Especially with you. But all we can do is choose our words with care - threats are cast aside, actions bereaved of force, no matter the power. Do not take that to mean I choose idleness. But to harm the walls...you may as well be beating against yourself. Rest, Asura.

[He eyes Asura closely. Level, softly expectant. A little troubled.]

[He knows ALL about beating against himself. During his first week of imprisonment that was all he ever did, and he has nothing to show for it but broken limbs. He would have only continued to rage had he not been forced to share quarters with the others in this headspace, some of which actually have a somewhat soothing effect on him already.

But more than that... Yasha is the first person he's ever met from his own world, and even if the news and attitude he brings infuriates Asura, there is something off here- something that even Asura can pick up on. And since he could never beat a straight answer out of him before, perhaps dialogue might work better...]

... What does it look like I'm doing?

I beat against the walls until I break, then rest until I can do so again, and again and again. Rest is all I ever do here.

[And Asura'd know all about broken limbs. Yasha's scrutinizing ends - he glances away, looks out at the great white void they stand on. He frowns - but that's nothing new.]

...You really have calmed down.

[He really is resting. All he ever...]

[Asura, pay no attention to the foot FLYING TOWARDS YOUR FACE.

PS. Fist ready in case he intercepts.]

[Don't mind if he doesn't pay attention, since he thought you wanted to talk.

Also, don't mind him flying a few feet away before landing on his feet, then cracking the earth beneath his feet as he launches in to deliver a solid right to your jawline in response.]

THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?!

[Yasha did want to talk. But something must burn the other's nerves whenever they meet, so now's fight time, fool!

Yeah he'll just try to block that fist with his forearm. But hey, he's miscalculated force before.]

You never change!

[His tone's frustrated as ever. Beneath it, a tremble. Yasha recognizes - will even admit, and yes, appreciate - he and Asura have moments of peace. But Asura alone, Yasha believes, is the one person who won't, can't change. That little assumption, built over millenia of knowing him, has become a rock in his mind. The fact that something, anything at all, will always be the same, comforts Yasha greatly. Even if, because it's Asura, infuriates him, too. But this, Asura resting, what was happening here...it cracked. He listens to him so rarely the only other time in recent memory is beyond 12,500 years ago. He does not rest willingly! He does not learn!

Yasha has other reasons for attacking him, of course. But this is what he tells himself. This is what he buries deepest.]

(OOC: Also are these of interest? Thought you'd like to know there're more canonmates, since you capslocked on reply to me. :D I'm sure they've posted elsewhere, but that's where I first saw them. Also sorry for the TL;DR ambush.)

[Fury. Overwhelming fury at the situation, frustration at how he once again just can't understand what Yasha's thinking. Yet underneath it all... underneath the anger that drives his fists into a quick three punch combo, aimed at Yashas chest, face and gut in that order, there is a small amount of relief.

For in this strange land where everyone just talks and talks, a man of action and few words such as himself is useless. Impotent and without options, he has yearned for someone, anyone to truly FIGHT. And if Yasha shows up and demands a fight after withholding information on his daughter?

You have Deusdamn better believe Asura will provide.]

YOU'RE ONE TO TALK!

[OOC: OH MAN THAT IS AWESOME, and if I get any spare time over from my maingame I am so checking them threads out.]

[Yasha manages to block the first punch, the second, but the third hits, oh god it hits. The explosion of pain's met with a brief cry, then Yasha tumbles back for several feet, at least thirty. Part of him is glad. That means he's making him angry. Even if it's always been so easy. Finally his feet manage to find the ground - the moment they do, Yasha bursts forward, zipping towards Asura, arm pulling back, fist readying.]

You couldn't see change if it stared you in the FACE!

[Assuming Asura hasn't the speed to react, Yasha will be in Asura's face on the final word. WHAT DO?]

(OOC: IT IS AWESOME. Also awesome is that I'm totally reading our subject capslock in their voices.)

[Asuras blocks the punch, but his response.]

You say I'm dumb...

[... Is less than impressive, considering he's not going to respond with a punch but rather a headbutt to Yashas chest.]

.. but I'm the only one using my HEAD!

[OOC: HA HA I think I should probably be less snarky then because Asura and 'wit' is... not a good combination.]

[PSYCH! Yasha teleports just as you fling yourself into that headbutt, man! Where do you look, Asura?]

(OOC: Asura had his wit moments. But I think my favorite Asura exchange is "You need to enjoy this more!"
"YOU NEED TO SHUT UP AND DIE!" with Augus.)

[I'm not really looking at anything, because my head is currently embedded in the ground, ostrich style.

But because that would be far too silly to maintain, I'm just gonna punch the ground into dust so it's easier to pull myself back up. In fact, I'm going to keep punching the ground so as to BURY MYSELF UNDERGROUND.]

[OOC: Ha ha yes, it... may not have been a witty response, but it certainly was entertaining. Man I wish someone out there played Augus.]

[Aaw shit no son. Yasha's just gonna try to sneak up and LITERALLY KICK YOUR ASS. WITH HIS FOOT. THAT CAN SMASH THROUGH EVERY KNOWN MATERIAL IN THE UNIVERSE.]

(OOC: You have no idea how much I want to see someone play Augus. I've half-considered it myself. But it'd probably be a gag account like this one.)

[Ah. But what if Asura activates that Spinny Triangle attack and sends up dust every-fucking-where, including YOUR BLIND EYES?]

[OOC: Augus would be so simple to play as well! Just make him fight all of the muses... or throw him in smut-memes and have him sex all of the muses. Or do both- he's not a picky soul.]

[Oh god a MMMBRNGGNRRR attack! How about Yasha spins a second too late and spams those bladey crescent moon things? NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE DOES NOT HINDER HIM AT ALL.]

(OOC: Hahaha, so true! Probably both. At the same time. With spontaneous hunting expeditions. Hunting animals has gotten boring. LET'S HUNT EACH OTHER.)

[Yeah okay those blades DO kinda hurt, but the wide arm and leg movements in such close proximity means that Asura can easily detect Yashas movements... and then, after taking one of the blades head-on, grab on to his arm and SLAM THAT SUCKER IN THE GROUND]

[OOC:... As long as he's still wearing pants when he's hunting.]

[Okay that's kinda new! SHBOOOMmushroomcloudandhugecrater we are breaking the pa-age. But Yasha has no want for dramatic expected dust-clearing, so he'll be teleporting and aiming his foot at the back of Asura's neck. It is worth to note that Yasha will be in a mid-air crouch because fully-extended legs make for super vulnerability.]

(OOC: Yeah that'd be nice. He probably wouldn't want to make the fight/hunt/game/everything any easier for him than it already is. Also I'm reading your other Yasha thread and am amused to no end that the same thing happened. Though I suppose I should've expected it.)

[And after that VERY dramatic explosion, you would think Asura would be more wary. You would be wrong, as he takes the kick to the neck and goes down... except instead of falling to the ground he PUNCHES the ground again and starts pressing back against Yashas kick, using his fist against the ground like a hydraulic jack. Does that make sense? Sense? THIS. IS. ASURA. HE'S GONNA PUSH THE GROUND AND FLEX HIS NECK UNTIL YOU BOUNCE OFF INTO THE AIR SO HE CAN GRAB YOU WHILE AIRBORNE AND PILEDRIVE THAT SHIT.]

[OOC: It is simply what we are doomed to. DOOMED I SAY.]
