Who: Mithos and you!
Where: Next to Lamufao.
When: RIGHT NOW.
Style: Action tags.
Status: Open!




[ By the time Mithos arrives, he's soaked and looks like a drowned kitten. Coughing up lung-fulls of water, he sputters something about 'Pronyma' and being stupid. When he first arrives, it looks at first like he's someone else entirely, before reverting to this form; his child form. The change happens too quickly for anyone to tell that he was just in the form of Lord Yggdrasill; he just looks like a glowy ball. ]

P-Pronyma, what are you-- [ Cough, cough. By the time he finally gets up, he looks dazed, still disoriented, and still trying to steady his breathing. The Cruxis Crystal may mean he doesn't need food or sleep, but he still needs to breathe. The explosions of stars in his eyes gone, he looks up at the coral, clutching his side, where he had been hit by a Demon Fang earlier after having fought Lloyd's party in his Yggdrasill form only one day earlier; they had fared better than their first time around (despite still losing), and actually landed a few noteworthy hits on him. He still hadn't recovered from that, and another Demon Fang on an already sore spot was quite painful. ]

Wha... where am I?

[ Rodyle's Human Ranch? No, not unless Rodyle embezzled Desian funds to COMPLETELY RENOVATE THE ENTIRE RANCH WITHOUT HIS PERMISSION. This... this was something else entirely. ]

Just because you live forever doesn't mean you stop aging, though, right?

[Assuming Lloyd knows things, Mithos? Really? Shouldn't you know better by now?

His attention abruptly jerks back from that subject, because Mithos just said something huge. Huge and of much more immediate importance.]


Whoa, wait. So, you mean Colette's going to live forever, too?
redcladidealist: (Alone)

[personal profile] redcladidealist 2012-04-19 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, yeah, but...

[Why is it so hard to think that Kratos might be older than he looks?]

He could have taken over the spot from someone else. Remiel tried to do that, so it's possible, right?

[You know, come to think of it, he doesn't really know how the Cruxis hierarchy works.]

Then Presea's going to live forever, too? But that's... [A pensive look crosses his face.] Living forever, always staying the same, while everyone dies around you... I don't know how someone could stand it. Presea and Colette... They shouldn't have to live like that.
redcladidealist: (I'm sorry...)

[personal profile] redcladidealist 2012-04-19 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
It isn't?

[Still frowning, Lloyd drops his gaze to the Exsphere on the back of his hand. His other hand moves to run his thumb over the smooth surface, his thoughts lost for a moment.]

These things are horrible. Human lives are sacrificed to make them, and then more people suffer when they wear them. Colette's going to live forever and lose everyone someday, or she might become a monster, unless someone kills her.

[He looks up, meeting Mithos's eyes somberly.]

I think our world would be better without any Exspheres or Cruxis Crystals at all. Someday, I want to get rid of them.
redcladidealist: (Little Lloyd - Hmmm)

[personal profile] redcladidealist 2012-04-19 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[Lloyd shakes his head.]

No, I wouldn't do that. I'd start off with all the Exspheres that aren't attached to anyone yet, and all the Exspheres from people who died. That way there wouldn't be any new victims. Then...

[He folds his arms, one hand on his chin, as he really thinks about this. He's had this half-thought for a while now, but never had a chance to put it into words.]

Dwarves know a lot about Exspheres. They're the ones who figured out how to make Keycrests in the first place, right? I'd want to talk to them, to some of the Dwarves who still live underground, and see if they know of any way to remove an Exsphere without killing someone or turning them into an Exbelua.
redcladidealist: (First of all...)

[personal profile] redcladidealist 2012-04-19 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
All of them.

[No, he doesn't know what kind of task he's facing, but even if he did, it probably wouldn't make a difference.]

Okay, so, two plus two makes four, right? You can still subtract two from four to get two again. If two things get put together, there might still be a way to take them apart. I don't know what it is yet, that's why I want to talk to the dwarves. Even if they don't know how, maybe we can work together to make a new way. Either way, I've got to try.
redcladidealist: (Up at the stars)

[personal profile] redcladidealist 2012-04-20 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
I don't want to believe that. Even if it's true, I don't want to accept it until I've tried everything I can to fix what Exspheres and Cruxis Crystals do. I don't think I could forgive myself if I just gave up without ever even seeing if there was anything I could do.

[He thinks he understands why Mithos is cautious, though, so he offers a reassuring smile even as he tugs his glove back on and picks his bag back up.]

Don't worry, I won't try to take off anyone's Exsphere until I'm sure it won't hurt them or their soul.
redcladidealist: (First of all...)

[personal profile] redcladidealist 2012-04-20 01:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Then I won't make any mistakes.

[Simple as that.]

But that's something I'll work on when I find a way home. For now...

What did you want to do next? I don't know how long we'll be stuck here, so did you want to find a place to stay?
redcladidealist: (Just having a really good day)

[personal profile] redcladidealist 2012-04-21 02:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[He sees that unconscious movement of Mithos's hand, and it still worries him, but he still hasn't spotted any obvious injury, and the way Mithos had dodged his questions before about being all right, maybe it wasn't that bad and the younger boy just didn't want the attention right now.]

If you need someplace to crash, you can always come to my place. I live in the Yutopil Apartments, in room six on the first floor. Come by any time!

[How long Lloyd will stay ignorant is entirely another question, as is how he'll deal with it if and when he finds out, but for now?

For now, the only thing Mithos is is one of Lloyd's good friends.]
