☽ A Game of Ping Pong

Characters: Minato and you!
Location: In a building just off of the center plaza
Time: All dayyyy
Style: Whatever works!
Status: Open open open!

[It is the strangest thing, to remember dying and then wake up as if nothing had happened. It left him strangely restless, and so he'd skipped out on Welcoming Committee duties, he'd drifted a little away from his social life for just a brief period of time--

He'd died in that strange place, that place that wasn't Vatheon.

But...he'd woken up alive, headphones around his neck and not pressed into Tiir's hands. Was something that vivid really just a dream? So he wandered, in search of something to expend his restless energy on.

And he's found himself at a ping pong table. At first he considers that lack of an opponent a problem, bouncing the ball on the table idly. But then he decides to play with the wall (it doesn't seem to bother him that he can't ever win that way).

So there is the click! click! click! of a ping pong ball being hit back and forth coming from an otherwise quiet building into the plaza. He might be getting a little into it.

Further inspection reveals a whiffed shot--don't get hit by the ball!]

[...

To be honest, Tiir doesn't understand, but Minato seems sad, so...

He tosses the ball to the side, before reaching out to hold Minato's hand—the one that isn't holding the Evoker. Then, he smiles.]


But it didn't end, right? So there's hope.

[.. The hope that Tiir doesn't have for his own world sometimes, truth be told.]
contemptibility: (✛ and chased from the land)

[With his free hand, he pokes Minato's forehead.]

There you go. You look better when you smile, you know.
contemptibility: (✛ I've got nowhere to run)

[personal profile] contemptibility 2012-06-15 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[He tilts his head.]

I didn't really do anything.
contemptibility: (✛ I've got no place to go)

[personal profile] contemptibility 2012-06-19 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
[A blink, before he shakes his head and runs a hand through his hair.]

You truly can be confusing at times, do you know that?
contemptibility: (✛ I've got nowhere to run)

[personal profile] contemptibility 2012-06-26 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Are all humans so confusing, then?
contemptibility: (✛ beaten and broken)

[personal profile] contemptibility 2012-06-26 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[Staaaaaaaare.]

I... suppose? I always found my friends easy enough to decipher, to be honest.

[Because they all suffer the same issues and you generalize people, Tiir.]
contemptibility: (✛ that's what they always said)

[personal profile] contemptibility 2012-06-26 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, of course they did. However, I wouldn't say they were confusing. Ryner did ignore me plenty, though...

[... ANYWAY]

... You would've liked them, I think. [...] Lafra in particular—you two would've gotten along rather well. You're both very kind people.
contemptibility: (✛ but I rise up above it)

[personal profile] contemptibility 2012-06-27 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
[... There's a slight shift in Tiir's demeanour, as his smile freezes, and one can practically see the moment where he tries to cover up that change.]

Ah... that's right. With the power of this world, then...

[Even the dead can be brought here, huh? While logically, that's what it would take for Minato and Lafra to meet, and Tiir would love to see his friend again...

It'd also mean having to face the friend he failed to save.

He shakes his head lightly.]


Perhaps one day, yes. It'd probably be for the best.
contemptibility: (✛ the victims; they're taking our dreams)

[personal profile] contemptibility 2012-06-28 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[...]

If he can be happy here, at least... well, it's not as preferable as finding peace in our world, but it's better than nothing, isn't it?

[It's not like he has that chance at home anymore.]
contemptibility: (✛ we're not gonna let them control us)

[personal profile] contemptibility 2012-06-28 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[Tiir freezes.

He's never been the one to—

Why—

He's not—

He blinks and stares at Minato, confusion and surprise written all over his face.]


W-What are you doing...?

[He's never been the one who needed comfort—]
contemptibility: (✛ me against the world)

[personal profile] contemptibility 2012-06-28 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Not that it's unwelcome, but... why?

[All things considered, the 'why' is fairly obvious, but Tiir still has trouble wrapping his head around the idea.]
contemptibility: (✛ cover your eyes; the devil's inside)

[personal profile] contemptibility 2012-06-29 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[He stares, before glancing around as he tries to think of something, before he looks back at Minato.]

... But I'm fine.

[He's going to insist that until the day he dies, for the record.]

You're the one who...
contemptibility: (✛ we're not gonna let them control us)

[personal profile] contemptibility 2012-06-29 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[His expression still somewhat bewildered—]

... I'm the one who survived, though.

[Maybe, at least, though he doesn't voice that thought.]

Compared to you or Lafra, I'm far more fortunate...
