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. ]

I did. I've been practicing making sweets, at least.

[Her face softens genuinely. When she sees Shizuo again, she'd like to actually know how to make a proper cake.

It's gone quickly, saccharine once more as she looks to her housemate.]


He's quite good, really. Won't you make us something?

[Zelda might be younger than both angels in the room, but Zelos is mistaken if he thinks he can mess with her like this. She might not meddle with Mithos once he leaves the house and finds his own as he ordered, but she'll make him pay dearly for his comments.]
chosen_gigolo: (I'm so awesome~)

feel free to skip him for a few rounds

[Damnit. Damnit damnit damnit. He can't play humble now and if he refuses because he's 'lazy' Zelda will just beg or Mithos will be annoyed. The fact that the other Seraph acknowledged his cooking skills at all likely means he wants the Chosen to make something. Or if the smirk is any indication, it means he wants Zelos to wait on him. Figures. It's all about power, isn't it. Power over the situation, power over people, power over him in particular. Megalomaniacal prick.

Of course all this just goes on in his head. Outwardly, Zelos adopts a smug grin.]


Well I guess I can whip something up! I don't blame you for wanting to sample my perfect cuisine. [He heaves an exaggeratedly affected sigh.] It's such a burden being this amazing~

[He sweeps into the kitchen theatrically and starts getting things together to make some savory crepes, listening to every word that comes wafting in from the dining room with every ounce of attention he can spare.]

SO LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT HYRULE...

[personal profile] zelda_hylia 2012-05-07 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, I am capable of using magic. Many Hylians are, in fact. Whether that is because Hyrule is where the goddesses descended or simply because we are in tune with mana, I am not sure.

[Zelda smiles, closing her eyes. Hyrule.]


Hyrule is located north of the equator of Demari, my world. It is said to be the chosen land of the goddesses. The palace and the capital are situated against the foot of the mountains at the northern end of the country. The tallest of the mountains is known as Death Mountain. In the past it was a highly active volcano, but now it is quiet for the most part. There has only been one eruption in the past two hundred years, and it was a minor one. We believe that the presence of the Gorons has calmed the volcano significantly. The Gorons are creatures that appear to be made of rock, they are large and round. [She laughs thinking of them.] They are very friendly, though their size can be intimidating. They travel by rolling across the terrain much like boulders and their patron goddess is Din, the goddess of power.


Over the centuries the eruptions from the volcano made the land extremely fertile; Hyrule is a lush, green country. If you were to head south away from the capital you would find a vast plain known as Hyrule Field. Creatures of all sorts make their homes there, including my people, Hylians. You can find migrating deku scrubs selling their wares, the ranch at the center that produces nearly all of the dairy products for the country, peahats, kobolds... it is a crossroads. If you head east out of the field, you will come to Zora's domain.


[Zelda lets out a small humming sound.] Zora's doman is beautiful. It is a watery paradise, not unlike you would expect Vatheon to be. The Zora are indigenous to the area, they are a fishlike race of people and highly intelligent. Of course, that is to be expected since the goddess they prefer is Nayru, the goddess of wisdom.


If you head southeast from the field, you will come to the Kokiri Forest. It is an enchanted forest, watched over by the Great Deku tree and its children. Their goddess of choice is Farore, the goddess of courage. It is said that those who are not pure of heart will become lost in the forest. Many of Hyrule's fairies make their home there, as well.


Finally, at the far southern end of Hyrule rests Lake Hylia. Zora's domain drains into it, and it is considered sacred to them. They even have an underwater temple in the center of the lake. Many Hylian villages are scattered along its shores as well.


[She continues to describe the rest of the country with great vigor, gesturing wildly with her hands to indicate the size and shape of things and looking reverent when she described the magic of the land. There's no doubt about it - Zelda loves her land deeply. Curiously, despite the variety of races she describes, there's not one mention of a serious racial conflict. It seems that the various peoples of Hyrule live in peace for the most part.]
zelda_hylia: Gentle smile (Gentle)

[personal profile] zelda_hylia 2012-05-07 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
It has been so for generations. We all need each other, after all. The goddesses have decreed that we should stand united.

[Pain flickers across her face for a moment, only to be replaced by a gentle smile.]

There are... individuals who would seek to take everything for themselves, but with the help of the hero we fought them off. There is little that can't be accomplished if people put in an effort together.

[She isn't talking only to Mithos, here.]
zelda_hylia: Huh? (Huh?)

[personal profile] zelda_hylia 2012-05-07 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
All of the humans? Surely some of them were willing to see reason. People act as individuals, after all.

[It's an innocent enough question. She genuinely can't imagine an entire race deciding to up and kill someone, after all. If Mithos seems adamant, she'll back down for now.]
zelda_hylia: Surprised (Surprise)

[personal profile] zelda_hylia 2012-05-07 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Four thousand - ?!

[Yes, she's visibly startled now. Her ears shoot downwards in a comical expression of surprise. Zelos had said he was over four thousand years old, yes, but hearing it out of Mithos's mouth...]

Human lives must seem very short to you.

[Short to the point of being worthless, even. What a lonely existence.]
zelda_hylia: Hyrule's Princess (Lost)

[personal profile] zelda_hylia 2012-05-07 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[Long lived, perhaps; but not so much as to look like children after four thousand years - if they were alive at that point at all.]

The same can be said for many races, unfortunately.

[The cycle of hatred has to stop somewhere, though. She doesn't feel like she can preach at him, especially not with Zelos right in the next room waiting to swoop in at any moment now. Instead of adding anything else, she looks at the seraph searchingly. Isn't a half-elf also half-human? Did he really hate them so terribly?]
chosen_gigolo: (Happy)

this took me two HOURS. Not tagging at work ever again x.x

[personal profile] chosen_gigolo 2012-05-08 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
[This sort of talk isn't to be encouraged. Lloyd had tried talking to Mithos, so had Genis, it just didn't work, not to mention this is Mithos from earlier and if he got mad at Zelda... Luckily crepes are quite easy and quick to make. Zelos is back out in not too long with two delicious-smelling savory crepes, delicately arranged with a sprig of parsley each, and places one in front of each blonde.]

There you go~! Feel free to go on about how amazing my cooking is as much as you like!

[Zelos drugged the entire party, he would most certainly drug Mithos as well! Not in Vatheon, though...]

Oh, it's good! Thank you, Zelos. I was worried I'd feel a little sick if we only had the pie.

[Her smile is genuine. In this case, the interruption was welcome - it was quite an uncomfortable conversation. Still, she has a better handle on the way that Mithos thinks, now.

Unfortunately, it just makes her want to comfort him more. That reaction would be abated some if she heard about the atrocities of the human ranches, but Zelda can understand a homicidal rampage as a reaction to the loss of someone dear.

She can understand it perhaps a little too well.]
chosen_gigolo: (Peace wink kiss)

[personal profile] chosen_gigolo 2012-05-08 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hey, there were extenuating circumstances! It's not like he did it for shits and giggles.]

Of course it's good! Did you miss the part where I'm completely amazing at everything?

[Zelos plops back down at the table, slouching in his chair. For a noble he certainly doesn't try very hard at good posture. He was all too glad to interrupt the previous conversation. Mithos's conclusions about humanity, well... Zelos has a hard time arguing with them. People are greedy, self-serving, and violent, he can't deny that. But it's not just limited to Humans. Elves, Half-elves, Angels... even Trolls and whatever other aliens have wound up here in Vatheon all have portions of their populations that are just assholes. Sometimes it's larger, sometimes it's smaller, but you can bet that it always exists. No one race is going to be perfect.

Only he can't say that to Mithos because he'll take it as Half-elf racism, and he can't say it to Zelda because from how she talks, she thinks the races of her world are the exception to the rule.]

[Zelda isn't the type to just say "you're wrong". She'll listen to the reasons behind almost anything, and tends to only outright reject opinions that are just entirely illogical. Mithos, as far as she can tell, has reasons.

Bad ones, but they're reasons nonetheless.]


Oh dear, I must have missed that part. How silly of me! I'll be sure to just ask you first in the future.

[Her tone is a little teasing, but not really flirtatious. There's even a bit of an edge to it - his words earlier hurt.]
chosen_gigolo: (Oooh~?)

[personal profile] chosen_gigolo 2012-05-11 07:27 am (UTC)(link)
Well, you'll never learn anything if you don't practice~ You need to find your own recipes to stick to instead of snooping in on others.

[He's going to smash that point home until it sticks, Zelda. And a bad reason should be rejected whether it's logical or not! Not that Zelos is a poster child for the best of humanity or anything.]

[Lovers--?! Definitely not! Zelda would be flipping the table if she could read Mithos's mind.]

Do you think so? I think it might be beneficial to learn from a teacher in most cases. There's no harm in asking the opinions of many people on the matter, after all.

[Screw you Zelos, she'll do what she wants. Except she won't. The downward tilt of her ears betrays that she caught on to the jab - even if she's defying it verbally.]

Well maybe if you'd listen to the teacher before deciding you know better it would work out.

[He thought they were done with this. Damnit, Zelda...]
zelda_hylia: (Indignant)

[personal profile] zelda_hylia 2012-05-14 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
I am capable of listening to a proper teacher.

[She huffs before turning to see Mithos, reddening slightly.]

...my apologies.
chosen_gigolo: (tsun)

[personal profile] chosen_gigolo 2012-05-14 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Zelos hmphs a bit and crosses his arms but he's well aware that his point is still clear to Zelda. There's no need to keep digging. Besides, any further and it might turn into a real fight and goodness knows he can't do that in front of Mithos, of all people.]
