Where: Plaza. Probably near the elevator.
When: Evening about.
Style: Action. Because.
Status: Open

[It's not that unusual to see Izaya looking happy. It's just unusual to see him lugging so much shit with him. Okay, it's not a lot, but by his standard- it's too much.

There's a telescope slung around his shoulder, a blanket under the other arm, and then a basket filled with who knows what, probably heads of dullahans or something, in his spare hand.

He's peering up at the bubble as he makes his way towards the elevator.

When. Oh no. A book that had been crammed into the top of the basket topples out. The tragedy.

But look.

Izaya keeps walking. Wow, his attention must be elsewhere pretty intense. And what is that book anyway? It looks weird. Are those instructions on human sacrifice------!!!

Actually it's just a fairy tale. But who can read kanji anyway? Aw look at the fairies-]

That's in your universe. I come from a pretty simple world. There is no God or heaven or anything fantastical like that. There's just the earth, man, and death.

[It sounds pretty grim but Izaya doesn't seem to mind. He sets up the telescope carefully, adjusting it.]

That's fine though. Because I'm not there anymore. Sometimes...I think....I'm in heaven here.

[fonmaster]

Heaven? It's pretty chaotic for heaven, don't you think?

[Now that he thinks about it though, would eternal life in complete peace be any fun? His life had been nothing but a blur before Anise brought a little chaos into it. It's only then that he'd begun to live at all.]

Actually... I can see that!

[kingwithnocrown]

Who says that heaven isn't chaotic?

[It's up for debate but he won't get into a theological argument about this.]

See what? This being heaven?

[fonmaster]

[He nods, sitting down on the blanket and adjusting his robes.]

We can't die, after all. And we're provided for in every way, for free. Vatheon has so many interesting people too, and more arrive all the time. Truthfully, I thought it was the afterlife when I first arrived.

[There is the small problem of not everyone remembering a death, though... but Ion doesn't want to imagine that Tear, Guy or Anise had died back on Auldrant. Not at a young age, at least.]

[kingwithnocrown]

Mmmhm. I did too. And it's kind of not that weird to speculate, considering a lot of people seem to come here after they're fatally wounded or something.

Anyway, it's a theory. I doubt it's a heaven or anything but I always like to think of it as one.

And honestly? I'd rather stay here forever than go back now.

[That would depress him a lot more than he's about to admit. He knew it would change a lot.]

[fonmaster]

Me too.

[Not that Ion has a choice. He looks up at the unfamiliar stars, then scoots near Izaya so that he can peer through the telescope. Maybe he'd be able to recognize the shape of a galaxy or two, at least!

...if Izaya's telescope is that powerful.]

[kingwithnocrown]

[It is obviously not. It only reaches the usual scope of a telescope and it doesn't really seem like there's any constellations recognizable.

Though it is nice to know that they can at least see stars. Izaya leans away properly so that Ion can have his look.]

[fonmaster]

[Ion looks through the telescope intently, but doesn't see anything that he recognizes. He looks apologetic when he draws back.]

I'm sorry, I don't see anything that I know...

[HE'S A FAILURE, END HIM NOW!]
