24 - Rogue

[radiantwingedone]

Who: Duke and ANYONE
Where: Plaza
When: All week! Monday and Tuesday at intervvals but... just about any time day/night for the rest of the week o/
Style: Brackets, but if you want action, I WILL FOLLOW

[ So Sunday had been a particularly bad day for Duke, although it did end up with him eating a bit more than usual because wow, it should not have been that easy for him to get knocked down-

But monday morning felt fine. Mostly because he got hit with the curse, and once again was able to sprout wings and... ignore any normal needs. Although he did find it a little harder to talk this time... Perhaps he was a different sort of angel? Still had a crystal... Oh well.

This mostly left him with a great deal more hours than he had for the past weeks, and so the ordo-Zel house is swiftly filled with the smells of apples and baking... Because if he remembers the days right, then this is close to that gift-giving holiday and...

He can't really think of much.

The problem with a full twenty four hours to spend doing something is that he ends up with way more apple pies than he has people he knows. Everyone Duke knows the name of gets 1(one) Apple Pie with 1(one) slightly magicked pie tin. The tin will keep the pies at a nice warm temperature, and will do this again if they are cooked in the pie tin. Something to do with "absorbing and storing heat from the oven and giving it slowly back over time", the note explains. Don't make cold pies in this tin, obviously.

This does leave a great deal of pies left over, and after some thought, Duke takes them to the plaza and the coral. This was newcomer time, wasn't it?

Now there's a table with pies, notes attached explaining "keep-warm pie tins", and a small paper sign proclaiming them as free apple pies. Yup. ]

(OOC: FEEL FREE TO FIND HIM DELIVERING PIES TO CHARACTERS WHO HE KNOWS. Just mention "christmas" or something in your tag and I will know it is his gift-giving o/ ANYONE CAN GET PIES FROM THE PLAZA...

Duke is also a Symphonian Angel for this -)

You know, if you think things like that, I think you might be a good emperor some day!

I'm not too sure if you can but...if there's ever a chance you can, I'll be rooting for you!

[radiantwingedone]

.....

[ He's confused.

Is he confused enough for it to be really really clear?

Yes he is. ]

[needsmoregreen]

[blink blink]

What? Is there something wrong?

[radiantwingedone]

.... Kind.. of you. But do not agree.

[ He'd be a horrible emperor. He can barely stand people- ]

[needsmoregreen]

Eh? Why not?

I think you have a lot of good ideas that could help the people and it seems like you know what to do too!

[radiantwingedone]

I am poor at reading and interacting with people. Frustration and anger tend to result in violence. I know what ends I would want, but not how to make the change one people would accept.

[needsmoregreen]

Hm...then how about I help you with that?

Interacting with people isn't hard as long as you're trying to understand them! If you want to make them happy, then that's what counts right?

[radiantwingedone]

.... If you want to.

Do not normally care if others are happy. If they are happy, but the world is well on the road to destruction, which is more important? That their short amount of time is likely to be comfortable and they content, but the time of their children will involve destruction due to the past? Or those who find their happiness in the pain of others?

[ Well. There was someone he would care if they were happy. But there wouldn't have been a choice between healthy world and that person's happiness - he would have been happy that the world was safe.

Just going to break your cheerful idealistic worldview a little more- ]

... Although suppose there is a lack of danger to self, if try to make others happy...

[needsmoregreen]

[For a moment, Bianca just stared at him. Honestly, she never thought about it like that but that was the comfort of living in a world like hers. There was a battle against Team Plasma but in her heart, she knew that everything would be okay. As long as Hilbert was there to save everyone, everything would be fine...

Still, she was going to be stubborn here]

But what if they're happy just to help other people? Because I want to think that there is a way to save everyone and that includes the future too! And those who find happiness in the pain of others will be caught too! That's just how it goes!

[radiantwingedone]

[ Bianca, have you talked to Lloyd yet? ]

Have not encountered many like that.

[ He'll be sorry for making her feel bad.. when he can feel things. ]

[needsmoregreen]

[Yes, they can talk about FRANDSHIP AND IDEALISMS later]

Then I think you encountered one today! So you can consider me your friend from now on!

[Yes, you heard that right]

[radiantwingedone]

....

[ Unsure. ]

If... you wish.

[needsmoregreen]

Mhmm, that is what I wish!

And that means we help each other out so...can you promise me that? That we'll look out for one another?

[radiantwingedone]

... Yes.

[ Although he may be somewhat awkward about it - but he can throw meteors at people who hurt Bianca. ]

[needsmoregreen]

[And with that, have a tackle hug from her!]

Really? That's great because I wasn't sure what I was going to do if you said no!

[radiantwingedone]

!?

[ That. Was a surprise. Uhm.

What does he do other than catch his balance and stare at her? Not sure... ]

... Are in need of aid often?

[needsmoregreen]

[She shakes her head but her grip is still on him]

No but I think it would be nice to help each other out if something bad does happen. You never know what's going to happen in a place like this!

[And you know, death and all]

[radiantwingedone]

....

[ And kidnapping and hurting- ]

True.

[needsmoregreen]

[And the dying!]

I know not a lot of bad things has happened here but...just in case. [mumble mumble]

[radiantwingedone]

[ He accidentally made someone do that once- ]

.... Mostly that October.

[needsmoregreen]

[Yeah about that October...]

...What about it? What happened?

[radiantwingedone]

... The most recent one. Was.. of those returned living.

[ Just with addled senses and magic he couldn't work- ]

[needsmoregreen]

[ABOUT THAT.................]

O-Oh, I remember that. I...saw that some of the people were really sad when they woke up again after what happened. And...how it was really scary too.

[radiantwingedone]

[ o o o p s ?

Sorry Bianca, Duke might not have put two and two together- ]

Not-knowing often is, and hindsight painful.

[ Which Duke both knows and will know more about... ]

[needsmoregreen]

[......................................]

It sounds like you know from experience.
