[martelapproves]

Who: Mithos and you!
Where: Next to Lamufao.
When: Backdated to July 31st.
Style: Will follow you!
Status: Open!

[ Mithos has been sitting next to the Coral for a while now. Every day for the last week, he's come back to his little bench near the coral, sitting there for hours at a time, staring at it, as if he were hoping someone he knew would be there. He knew it was the time of month when people started arriving, but... once again, he was disappointed, and saddened. She still wasn't here. She still wasn't going to arrive.

And he was still terribly alone.

Today was the last chance he had, until next month. And of course, Martel wasn't there. Fighting back tears again, Mithos slowly, reluctantly, gets to his feet, and slowly starts to walk away, back towards his apartment, his eyes glued to the ground.

And he might just walk into your character. ]

[ After learning that things are free in Vatheon Yukiko had taken it upon herself to settle herself into the place. Quite well too! Today she's gone a little bit of more clothing shopping, as well as some food shopping as well. Can't shop if you're too hungry to do so!

So she was on her way back to where she was staying when she notices Mithos. He didn't seem too happy... and Yukiko isn't too fond of seeing young people upset. So holding her bags of food and clothing she slowly walks on over to him. He's looking at the ground so she tries to make sure that he doesn't accidentally bump into her when she speaks in concern. ]

You seem a little down? Are you okay?

[martelapproves]

[ Oh, look, a human who actually watches where she's going. When she asks her question, Mithos looks up at her. He tried to glare, but he couldn't. She actually seemed to be kind, but still... eww, human. ]

What does it look like?

[nightbaroness]

[ Yukiko glances up from the boy and looks back at where he was walking from. Looks like he was coming in the direction of the fountain? And he looks really sad about something. Soon enough she looks back at him and replies to him in a soft tone. ]

It looks like you're sad because the coral didn't grant your wish.

[martelapproves]

Gee, you think so!?

[ Mithos yells. Rather suddenly, actually. He didn't even think he was going to, but it just... comes out. ]

I'm sick of people telling me to tolerate humans! That this... thing - [ he points accusingly at the coral ] - will bring my sister back! That I should just sit and wait and hope for something--- something...

[ Mithos nearly collapses. He's so sick of being disappointed, or wishing for something he doubts will ever happen. ]

[nightbaroness]

[ Yukiko takes it and listens. After he finishes she watches to make sure he doesn't complete collapse but she does bend down a little. She's a little surprised by his burst but she looks like she's completely unphased by it. ]

Is that what people are telling you? [ She's not going to question the idea of him tolerating humans. It doesn't really matter. Besides, even a human can hate the human race. ] Sometimes we just have to disobey what people are telling us. If you don't want to just sit around and wait then who's to say that you have to? [ Because she certainly won't. ]

Though... [ She takes a moment to think about the situation as she looks back at the direction of the coral. It would be hard not to just sit around and wait for the coral to bring someone to you. And from the sounds of him saying 'bringing her back' it meant... ] I guess it would be rather hard... [ She looks back at the boy. He seems stressed from all of this. Especially since he seems to about to collapse. ] Have you had the chance to just... let out all your anger? Why don't you do that now. You don't have to talk at me, but I'm here if you just want to let go of any rage. It might not grant your wish, but it might help you feel a little less burdened.

[martelapproves]

[ Disobey? He really wants to, Yukiko. He wants to start blowing holes through that coral until it brings his sister here. But he can't, and he knows it. That coral radiates mana like he's never seen before.

But what she says next intrigues him. He'll even answer her question, totally honestly. ]

Of course I have. For the last few millenia I've been making humans pay for killing my sister! Thousands at time!

[ He takes a deep breath, trying to stay calm. ]

If you want me to do the same here, just say so.

[nightbaroness]

[ She doesn't say anything for a small moment. Did he just say 'a few millenia? Just how old was he? And to kill humans thousands at times... it was really frightening.

Still, when she responds again she doesn't look all that frightened at all. Being able to maintain your emotions is something an actress can do fairly well. ]

Mouu... I guess not. [ She thinks for a moment. Telling him to not hate humans doesn't seem to be a wise idea; it sounds like people have already been doing so. ]

So you hate me for killing your sister? [ It was strange wording since Yukiko obviously didn't kill his sister herself, but there was a subtle point to it. ] She must have been wonderful. What was she like?

[martelapproves]

[ He was about to tell her how stupid she was for trying to say she killed his sister, because the person who did was the first human he killed - rather brutally - for doing so. They've been dying in Human Ranches ever since, while he harvests their souls for his Age of Lifeless Beings. ]

She was...



... she was the only friend I ever really had.

[nightbaroness]

[ Yukiko doesn't know the other details behind his hatred of humans so according to his logic she would be partially to blame somehow. However, Yukiko completely.forgets she said that when he speaks again. ]

Mouu.. I'm sorry to hear that. I can't imagine how hard it could have been...

[ She thinks for a moment before brightening up with a small smile. ]

What's your name?

[martelapproves]

It was... and I'll complete her final wish or die trying.

[ He finally get a grip on himself when she asks for his name. ]

Mithos.

[nightbaroness]

Her final wish?

[ Yukiko's smile grows a little more ]

My name is Yukiko! I'm not sure if you would be willing to allow me to become a friend, Mithos-Kun, but I can try, right~?

[martelapproves]

A world without hatred.

[ He breaks eye contact with that. ]

I've heard that before.

[nightbaroness]

That's a lovely wish~

[ Though his methods are a little off if he wants to achieve that. You can't achieve a world without hatred with hatred.

She smiles lightly at him ]

I guess you're stubborn then! But don't worry. I've lived with stubborn people for years and it doesn't stop me! Though I'd rather if you don't make me give you riddles to figure out.

[martelapproves]

[ Stubborn... that was something Martel called him all the time. ]

I don't want riddles.

[nightbaroness]

[ Yukiko clasps her hands together ]

Ahhhh, good! And I won't need to disguise myself either?

[martelapproves]

Why would you need to disguise yourself?

[ ... What a weird human. Mithos looks at her like she's insane. ]

[nightbaroness]

[ Yukiko giggles ]

Several reasons! Usually I disguise myself as part of an act.

[ or to fool people like her son ]

[martelapproves]

You're an actress?

[ Wouldn't it be called a 'costume' instead of a 'disguise,' then? It's kind of confusing to Mithos, all of a sudden. ]

[nightbaroness]

Mhm~ I'm an actress and also known as a mistress of disguise. Often the two intertwine with another.

[ Though she's retired shhh. ]

[martelapproves]

What's the difference?

[ He's never heard that term before. ]

[nightbaroness]

An actress is known for performing on a stage or in front of a group of people. They are given scripts to follow and usually perform in productions. Masters [ or mistresses in her case ] of Disguises are those who can disguise themselves as someone completely different. Those who are Master is Disguises are also splendid actors. They can accurate portray or roleplay their disguise and entertain [ or fool ] an audience with or without a script.

[martelapproves]

Oh... I see.

[ Learn something new every day. ]

So... when you put on a disguise, you're hiding?

[nightbaroness]

Mhm! I'm hiding my identity by portraying someone else. It could be someone who doesn't exist, or even if know someone enough, I can impersonate them.

[ because there is absolutely nothing wrong with that nope. ]

[martelapproves]

But... why?

[nightbaroness]

Well, there are multiple reasons! Sometimes you want to do things without people knowing it's you. People who are famous also don disguises so they don't get attention from the public. Or you can call people with your disguise. Though personally I only do that as a harmless prank.

[ Yes... 'harmless' like kidnapping your own son and pretending to be part of some secret organization. ]
