[01] - that's thoughtful

[longwinded]

Who: John and vatheon
Where: Outside of Coral Corral #6
When: Monday Evening.
What: John thinking about different things that have happened to him thus far.
Style: Action. will follow if you post prose.
Status: Wide open.


[Anyone wandering around the Coral Corral neighborhood? Do you happen to be Jade or Dave that lives with him? Then you're going to find John sitting out by the sidewalk, playing with his orb of light. There is a breeze coming from it- the thoughts projected are in random spurts.

Right now it displays an image of Dad, with a cake (curse that batterwitch..)! John just smiles, he hasn't seen Dad since the house was uprooted. Now he see's Dave, Jade, and Rose. John is laughing- because it's each one of them at what John thought would be their respective homes.

Lastly. John sees himself on the quest bed, and bubble of light blows air at John's face. He can't remember or think of anything that happened well after this.

His bubble allows his thoughts to be projected to whomever is around.

Any crossing his path now will see '. . .Why couldn't I have been here earlier? Why didn't you stay?' . It's meaning is undetermined.]

[Someone is in fact wandering around there, someone who has spotted John and who is now sneakily creeping up behind him. Her fluffy cloud-like bubble shows a drawing of a kitten sneaking up on a ball of yarn, wriggling its furry behind as it aims to pounce.]

[longwinded]

[John thankfully isn't noticing them! Oh no, that would be really cute to notice though, so John is looking up. A cat...swishing it's hiney at some yarn.

Nepeta.
John.
Yarn.
JOHN IS THE YARN?]

[bestestfurrend]

[JOHN IS TOTALLY THE YARN.

As evidenced by Nepeta pouncing at him with a flying tackle, purring and giggling and trying to rub her face in his hair. She's been wanting to meet him in person for ages and now she has to make up for lost time!]

[longwinded]

[Ahhhh, Nepeta! All this loving he's getting! He is not your personal ball of yarn!

He reaches up, patting the troll on her head.] Hey!

[Laughing forever!]

[bestestfurrend]

Hiiii!

[He is so her personal ball of yarn! She owed him a pouncing for stealing her kitty puns, after all.

But she lets up after a minute, giggling hard too, rather pleased that he actually seemed to like being cuddled on. Too many of her friends just went awkward at her whenever it happened.]

I was hoping I'd get to see you soon!

[longwinded]

[Fine okay.
Just this once he can be her personal ball of yarn, and she can enjoy it!

John is now thinking of himself as yarm does that blue ball of yarn have glasses, yes it does. Hm. Interesting.]

Well, I'm here now! You're here too! ['Stating the obvious, John. GOOD IDEA STUPID.']

Sola's Dark Link btw. 4th walling is cool with me if John woulda played OoT~

[replicatedcourage]

[Sola is just wandering by, having decided to go for a walk since there's only so much you can watch of trash daytime tv while Psii puts his hands over your eyes at intervals. The little breeze is what catches his attention, then the hood so like his own hat. And.. the kid's in blue.

Well isn't that familiar.

He walks over and stands right in front of John, glad to see that John isn't who he thought he was. Or maybe he's disappointed, who knows.]

Oh, you're not him.

he's refraining 4th walling mickey. ;_;

[longwinded]

[John's bubble shows up with an exclamation point! then an 'oh'.]

What do you mean by that? [John wasn't the last him that was here, and he wasn't anyone else really. He was just John. The John that has no sense of Vatheon.]

I'm sorry if you were expecting someone else?

[replicatedcourage]

Um.. kind of.

[Sola's little bubble shows a picture, the only picture so far to be not done up in crayon but an actual memory, of... well, it looks like Sola himself but clad in a blue tunic with blonde hair, a normal skin tone, and blue eyes. He swings a large hammer across the view and then there's nothing but reflective water visible.]

I'm kind of glad you're not, honestly. I dunno what I would do. I'm Sola.

[The Hylian plops down next to John, uninvited or no.]

What's your name?

[longwinded]

[John pays what attention he can to the bubble. His own bubble shoots to himself- swinging a hammer around. His Strife Specibus is Hammerkind, and it always will be. Which is pretty badass anyways.

John scoots so that Sola will have room. The water is a nice touch there. John's bubble is playing with thoughts again. Mostly those of his friends, and himself playing SBURB.]

My name is John Egbert. [A small chuckle.] Nice to meet you Sola. I'm sorry I'm not who you thought I was.

Or...I'm not sorry, whichever!

[replicatedcourage]

Like I said, I'm glad you're not! He killed me, so I don't really want to see him again.

[Somehow, this doesn't seem to bother Sola, though his thought bubble does flash to an inky black nothingness for a moment before he directs his attention to John's bubble, blinking curiously at the images and various things in them appear in the Hylian's bubble, albeit in crayon scribble form.]

Wow, your world looks weird!

[echigo_wargod]

[ Kenshin's his neighbor and the samurai is just returning home. He has very few thought bubbles, mostly of his rival and his ninja. Nothing incriminating. His calm thoughts reflect his calm and controlled demeanor.

He approaches his neighbor, watching him play with the light. ]

Interesting ability.

[longwinded]

[John lets the light bubble go, his thoughts projecting from it again. Mostly exclamation points and "who is this guy". Floating about in his head.

This ball of light wasn't his real ability, but hey, that's okay. Hey, bubble- STOP THAT. It's now showing John holding his hand out, a blue aura emitting from it. He had accidently discovered the windy thing before this anyways. Now the bubble projects John floatingl and, this is certainly a thing he can do. Bubble, way to make John look conceited.

'Wow John, way to make yourself look stupid in front of your neighbor. Stupid scattered thoughts much?']

[echigo_wargod]

[ Kenshin stands lightly on his feet, resting his hand on the hilt of his sword. The flying catches his attention. A new bubble pops up showing Kenshin's odd habit of making a grand entrance by swan-diving off a cliff and into the middle of combat. He seems to pay no mind to the bubble, however. ]

The name is Uesugi Kenshin, lord of Echigo. I do not believe I have formally introduced myself yet.

[ he offers a polite lordly bow in greeting. ]

[longwinded]

[John does though, and wow- that is some dive. John wonders if he could do it. His thought bubble shows him thinking of attempting it; and, wow that ended really really badly.]

Oh! [John stands up to return the bow, better be polite and stuff!]

My name is John Egbert, the Heir of Breath. I haven't even introduced myself either. It's nice to meet you. I didn't know I had an incredibly awesome guy living next door to me!

[John is berating himself for being incredibly dumb in his thought bubble.]

[echigo_wargod]

A pleasure to meet you. You are quite kind with your words. [ it's not like that's anything special. It's just a Kenshin thing. ]

I apologize for not introducing myself earlier. This recent escalation of curses has kept me quite busy.

[knightime]

[Guess who's floating behind you.]

John? Not to point out the obvious, but your thoughts are just completely on display. Better get ahold of that shit.

[The stupid little bubble, which Dave had found out was really gross and sticky of course is projecting Dave's own thoughts. It's impossible to keep his mind blank.] I'm totally not going to ask what he's thinking. That shit isn't cool. Also, I'm going to just fill this bubble with stupid shit in an attempt to keep it from thinking about other things. Fuck. This isn't actually working.

[longwinded]

[Ohmyjegus, Dave stop creeping on John like that!]

Oh, yeah. They are! It's okay I don't think I'm thinking of anything too bad.

[With Dave now in front of him, John's bubble projects a new image. It's of Dave and John. It was a day dream John might have often had. John was standing in LOHAC and Dave was with him. Later in the thought- Jade and Rose are there.

John had always wanted to meet his friends.]

Dave, it's okay to ask what I'm thinking. It's not like you can't see the display and inner workings of my mind right now anyways.

[knightime]

[Wow, he wasn't exactly quiet.]

Yeah, I guess. But who were you thinking about? Your thoughts are being pretty vague and this sounds like a feelings jam should be a thing. But I kind of suck at those, so I'm just gonna go and ask. Since you aren't saying it out loud. And I'm nosy.

[And Dave is rambling.]

So?

[longwinded]

[John laughs, obviously feelings jam is a thing right now. So he pats a seat on the almost sidewalk next to him, he even scoots over a little bit. John is okay with this, he thinks.]

It's about something I was told when I arrived, and I feel like I could have done more. Being here or not. Why couldn't it have been me kind of thing. Being selfish is a terrible thing.

[He's being vague. Because he wasn't sure about what the troll involved in John's process of thought this week.] I guess, also, picturing myself covered in blood isn't a good thing either.

[knightime]

[Dave sits down next to John.]

Cut the vague bullcrap, or so help me, I will wrestle it out of you. Does this have to do with the session? Because you're talking to your residential time traveler. I know the ins and outs of all this bullcrap.

And, no it isn't. [Because he's seen himself and everyone else covered in their blood more then enough times.]

Why yes, John, your childhood IS in the bubble

[zelda_hylia]

[There was an unfortunate transitory state between the forest and the island where Zelda ran into people. John at least is harmless enough, so she smiles when she sees him.

Guess who has no idea this isn't the John she knows?]

Hello, John.

...all up in the bubble.

[longwinded]

[John let's his bubble go.]

I'm not the same one. [How many times does he have to say this?!]

[zelda_hylia]

Oh, I'm sorry!

[She's remembering her first (virtual) meeting with John now. He'd seemed to know her then and it made her uncomfortable - now she's inflicted the same thing on him.]

Allow me to introduce myself, then. My name is Zelda. Have you been settling into Vatheon comfortably?

[longwinded]

[He wasn't angry with her. Not by any means.]

As well as one can settle, really! Thanks for asking. I guess you already know I'm John then!
