When: Backdated to during the curse.
Where: The park.
Style: [please!]
Status: Open!

[It's strange, how someone who appreciates honesty wouldn't appreciate a curse that made one honest—but even Tiir has his white lies, his claims of being okay even when he isn't really. And so, the recent curse doesn't sit too well with him, as he's not too thrilled at being unable to filter his words.

... Especially with what's happened in his world. Although it's been well over a month since his return to Vatheon, the reminder that he'll go back to the same time in his world means that the events that occurred always remain recent to him. It's a lot to think about, though Tiir isn't sure how much of it he wants to reflect over, as it might result in certain sentiments he doesn't want.

Normally, in a pensive mood like this where he just wants to shut his mind down—and, to an extent, does so—he'd go to the forest, but today... Today, for a moment, the memory of Minato goes through his mind, and so for whatever reason, he feels compelled to go to the park instead.

Thus, there he is, sitting by the pond—and throwing bread crumbs in the direction of the ducks, as he watches them feed.

Hmm? Is what because of their power?

[tsundyne]

The way they try to play God.

. . . I'm just curious. I don't really know what they're like.

[contemptibility]

Ah, well, all of what I know about them comes from my leader, but... they think they can control all of us—that we're nothing but the pawns they created.

[He smiles.]

But even if they're our creators, I have no intention of letting anyone else decide my fate for me.

[Yukari is quiet for a moment, allowing that to sink in. There's a determination behind his voice that she's heard many times before -- but even so, she has to admit his resolve is impressive.]

That's a good attitude to have . . . though, I guess that means you haven't met with them personally, then.

[contemptibility]

No. I don't know if anyone has, to be honest. After all, most don't even know of their existence.

—Ah, though I do hear their voices.

[tsundyne]

Oh -- [a brief reaction of surprise. but it's not like it's a bad thing, right?] That's something. Do they hear yours?

[contemptibility]

I suppose they might? It wouldn't be mine specifically, however. They're watching the world—watching the pawns they've laid out.

[He smiles bitterly at that.]

As an Iino Doue bearer, however, their voice echoes in my head. Not here, of course, but I've spent my entire life hearing their orders.

[tsundyne]

[The bitterness definitely is strong with this one. But she's heard more scathing remarks than that from Tiir's mouth.

At first, she didn't think much of it, because she can hear Isis's voice the same way. But . . . when he says "orders" . . . it kind of gives his whole statement a different connotation.]

Heh. So it must have been pretty quiet for you when you first got here.

[contemptibility]

Indeed. It was rather unsettling, to be honest.

[...]

It's not so bad, however. Considering what the gods are truly like... I can't say I mind much anymore.

[tsundyne]

You were bound to get used to it eventually, I guess. Just like anything else here.

[She sounds a little tired at that. Maybe it's the expectation that everyone always adjusts . . .

Even though she clearly has, since arriving, a part of her might never be used to it completely. But that's not something she'll easily admit.]
