Hey, cut it out. There's nothing embarrassing about studying fables. I'm going to be a curator — or a writer, maybe both! One day, that is. The first chapter would have to be on ... [ hmmm what a hard choice!! ] Bigfoot, obviously.

Bigfoot?

I haven't run into one of those, yet...

[ said mostly to himself. since spirit au!him is not used to humans seeing him. and mun needs practice playing him off non!tooth fairies. :U but he loves hearing about other spirits and legends because so cool. ]

I think there are some in Canada.

w e l p

[undergrad]

Yeah! Up north in the thick forests where they hide.

[akito]

[ ... will just look around for who this guy must be talking to. :|a ]

[undergrad]

Hey! Little guy, helloooo?

[akito]

[ stares at him. then looks behind himself one more time before pointing at himself to make sure he's understanding this right. ]

Me?

[undergrad]

Unless there's another dude down there.

[akito]

[ will check just to make s-- wait. ]

You're a human!

[ a.k.a. WHY CAN YOU SEE ME, MISTER. even though you're that kid that mama tooth really likes and he can sort of understand why now. ]

[undergrad]

I am? Oh my God, I am!

[ CHECKING HIMSELF rofl. ]

[akito]

[ flutters around excitedly in the air and checks him out curiously, invading his personal space reminiscent of one queen of punjam hy loo. ]

A human's never seen me before! This is so...

[ he doesn't know what it is. ]

I don't know!

[undergrad]

Hah! Really? [ easing away once or twice, he likes his personal space. ] What are you, exactly?

1/2

[akito]

[ somehow he's ended up staring at him at eye level while upside-down. he seems unphased by this. ]

A wind spirit!

2/2

[akito]

At least, I think that's what I am.

[undergrad]

Do you help Jack Frost fly around?

[akito]

Jack Frost? [ that cute guy with the nice teeth. o3o ] No, he doesn't need any help from me! I help Miss Toothiana's helpers through storms though.

[undergrad]

Oh, that sounds legit. You're like a wind-slash-fairy-slash-spirit then.

[akito]

I'm not a fairy! [ he's kind of sad that he isn't though. he would love pretty feathers like tooth. ): his little purse is decorated with charms made out of tooth fairy feathers, however! ]

And the naiads like to call me a sprite, since they like to make fun of me being small. [ and sometimes beat him up oops ] But I'm definitely a spirit! Of... wind and clouds and stuff like that, I guess.

[undergrad]

How old are you? Where do you come from? What's your name?

[ questionssss. ]

[akito]

I was... eighteen! I think? When I got turned into a spirit, but I don't really remember much from before then...

But I'm Akito! And I woke up in Japan so I guess that's where I'm from, ne?

I've been a spirit for fifty-two years!

[undergrad]

Hello, Akito-from-Japan-who-is-super-old. How'd you find out your specialty is wind?

[akito]

[ oh. well. he won't tell him that he's actually still considered a wee babby spirit. SUPER OLD, YEAHHHH. he will take it! ]

When I woke up I was floating a couple thousand feet over Tokyo.

[undergrad]

[ that's the spirit! lulz. ]

That sounds frightening, gotta say.

[akito]

It felt familiar! And the wind was comforting, ne? So it wasn't as scary as it could have been. Though I remembered some things then that I've forgotten now that made the transition kind of hard.

You're Jamie Bennett, right?

[undergrad]

Uh, yeah! How did you know that? Or can all spirits do the spooky name thing?

[akito]

Ma- [ gosh if he wants to seem like an old awesome spirit he needs to stop calling her mama. :|a dilemma. ]

Miss Toothiana told me about the boy who believed. If you're an adult who can see spirits it makes sense to think it was you, ne?

[ a pause ]

Or we could just say it's a spooky spirit thing! Like... 'The wind told me'.
