Homeless, voice testing like *whoa*

Now this is familiar. I have to admit, I'm a bit surprised though. I've been gone for awhile and you usually prefer other people's takes on me, if I remember right. [Small laugh.] Not that I'm complaining, it's nice to stretch my limbs and get a little freedom.

Still, I have to wonder at your motivations. Missing someone with manners and a sleep disorder? Those really can't be the best reasons.

At least you're having fun trying to write an app, just make sure you're not being too rash about this. Only one of us gets to be the hothead around here, and I've got the fire to back it up, and you don't. Besides, weren't there other things you were planning to do?

And as for the screen name, I'm not sure anyone will get that reference. Vista doesn't count, his mun came up with it.

Same here. My mun keeps saying I should be more careful with Smoker because he actually does get stronger. Che. Whatever, I could take him.

hahaha

[amethystsregret]

You two will never stop clashing. I have come to accept this.

;)

[ace_of_hearts]

[Laughs.] It's true.

I heard he might even app to the Wake too! But I won't get my hopes up. Much. Not that I'd ever hope for such a thing, but since I'm going to be able to learn to bend cigars into existence long before he gets there, it'd be fun to actually have leverage on him.

My mun says she'd prefer his mun apped another me to Route though, so his mun might be too busy.

[amethystsregret]

Oh, really. Maybe we can both hope...

... if I knew if I was going there or not.

:3

[ace_of_hearts]

Do you know yet?

;~;

[amethystsregret]

Nothing yet... How long did you have to wait...?

[ace_of_hearts]

A week. But my mun submitted my app a little on the late side too. They're probably just really busy.

[amethystsregret]

Are a lot of people applying this round?

[ace_of_hearts]

Yup.

I know you, Nami, and Robin did, and I think there were a bunch of others considering it.

[amethystsregret]

Wow. I guess they would be busy. This is starting to remind me of waiting to hear if I'm getting a bonus this year or not at work...

I never do, but I hope for it anyway...

[ace_of_hearts]

Maybe someday you will.

At least this will be like a vacation?

[amethystsregret]

I try to think of it that way... but I still think of how I should be helping my friends back in Gensoukai.

[ace_of_hearts]

I felt the same way about leaving Jinbe in prison, but Zoro said he'll help break him out if need be.

In the meantime, we can't make anyone wake up, but maybe they will on their own and come join us.

[amethystsregret]

That's a nice thought to hold to...

Hisoka, Tatsumi, my shikigami... all those that are close to me... I'll hope they can wake as well. Hm!

[ace_of_hearts]

Does your mun have any plans otherwise for when you arrive?

[amethystsregret]

Well... they were looking into things, but they're kind of at a loss for plotting when the only thing we've grasped so far is the concept of bending. It makes perfect sense to us.

[ace_of_hearts]

It does?

I mean... that's good! Maybe you can explain it to me.

[amethystsregret]

Well, I am an Ofuda practitioner. Plus, energy shifting is how I live, but I guess I don't anymore now, huh?

I could try explaining for you if you want me to...

[ace_of_hearts]

I think I kind of remember. The whole spirit thing, right?

[amethystsregret]

Well, Ofuda is focused a prayer to a kami or focusing on channeling energy into a talisman...

[He stops. This will probably be really round about and go over Ace's head. He wasn't the best teacher after all...]

It might be easier if I compare this to shifting energy...

[ace_of_hearts]

I think I got it with the talisman thing. I mean I remember how it was back in the tower. Like the paper birds, right?

[amethystsregret]

Oh! My familiars would be a good example actually!

Bending is reaching into the infinite possibilities, like a plain talisman, and transforming it into one thing. When I fold a talisman into the shape of a bird, I focus on turning that origami bird into a living bird. Breathing into it, I am bringing that bird into existence. Does that make sense? If it doesn't, I can clarify.
