[01] - that's thoughtful

[longwinded]

Who: John and vatheon
Where: Outside of Coral Corral #6
When: Monday Evening.
What: John thinking about different things that have happened to him thus far.
Style: Action. will follow if you post prose.
Status: Wide open.


[Anyone wandering around the Coral Corral neighborhood? Do you happen to be Jade or Dave that lives with him? Then you're going to find John sitting out by the sidewalk, playing with his orb of light. There is a breeze coming from it- the thoughts projected are in random spurts.

Right now it displays an image of Dad, with a cake (curse that batterwitch..)! John just smiles, he hasn't seen Dad since the house was uprooted. Now he see's Dave, Jade, and Rose. John is laughing- because it's each one of them at what John thought would be their respective homes.

Lastly. John sees himself on the quest bed, and bubble of light blows air at John's face. He can't remember or think of anything that happened well after this.

His bubble allows his thoughts to be projected to whomever is around.

Any crossing his path now will see '. . .Why couldn't I have been here earlier? Why didn't you stay?' . It's meaning is undetermined.]

Like I said, I'm glad you're not! He killed me, so I don't really want to see him again.

[Somehow, this doesn't seem to bother Sola, though his thought bubble does flash to an inky black nothingness for a moment before he directs his attention to John's bubble, blinking curiously at the images and various things in them appear in the Hylian's bubble, albeit in crayon scribble form.]

Wow, your world looks weird!

[longwinded]

[John notices and laughs a little. He shifts to an image of LOWAS. he loves his planet, albeit the things that hinder it and the fact it can't be the "Land of Wind and Sunlight". It's so cool and shady there.

John is picturing himself back there, so it displays to the bubble.]

It isn't my real world. Simply a place in a game. Though all of these things become home to you when you're locked in a Session to save the Earth. Haha, or something like that! I really live in a place called Washington. [A view of his home is crudely viewed in his bubble. His room, the house, the tire swing!]

I'm really just so damn normal, I'm boring!

[replicatedcourage]

You're not boring! All of those places are way bigger and better than what I know. I never even got to see my world, I was just in a temple for a long time.

[He has to concentrate for a moment, but Sola's bubble begins to show a pan around of the Water Temple in all its damp, dreary, and confusing glory.]

That's all I remember, but my world actually looks like this.

[The image becomes relatively cartoonish again, though there are elements of realism where he can imagine them. The overall impression is of a majestic field with trees scattered around. A castle dominates one end, with a huge mountain surrounded by a ring of smoke behind it.]

That's what I was told, anyway.

[longwinded]

Well, that's really a bummer you know! Maybe if you ever get the chance to go back home you could escape that temple? I would sure hate being stuck in LOWAS forever. It would really suck.

[He might even begin to recognize this place too, gosh, was his childhood bouncing around this place? It was seeming that way!]

Maybe you and I could go on some adventures together here?

[replicatedcourage]

I don't think I can. [Sola brings one knee up under his chin and rests his head on it.] Like I said, he killed me. I should be dead, so if I went back I don't know what would happen. I might just disappear again.

[The image of nothingness creeps across Sola's bubble again, staying for a longer moment before Sola perks up at, ears even tilting upward slightly and the bubble changed quickly from darkness to a poorly-drawn portrait of himself, quite excited.]

Really? Adventures?!

[longwinded]

Dying doesn't change anything. Unless you can't come back.

[The rules of death in SBURB pop into John's bubble. 'Shall you die a heroic death, or you deserve your death. You will be given an infinite amount of lives once God Tier is attained.']

Well, we certainly can! I haven't gotten to explore this place at all!

[replicatedcourage]

[A shadow crosses over Sola's face, the blackness from before creeping around the edges of his bubble.]

I don't know if I would come back if I wasn't here...

[He shakes his head vigorously and the blackness shudders a moment and then dissipates from the bubble, showing instead an image of the island above.]

I really like it up on the island! We should go there, it's the only place I haven't seen everything yet.

[longwinded]

[John nods.]

My friend was telling me about this island. She was staying up there for quite some time! I think it was because her kind was in danger, and there are more than enough of them here.

Long story. I haven't been here quite long enough to understand. [His thought bubble was entertaining, all the images of exploration.]

I haven't seen all of down here, but we can go up to the island for adventuring!

[replicatedcourage]

Oh, is your friend one of the Trolls? All the ones I've met are really nice so far. Are you from the same world?

[Without waiting for an answer, Sola stands again and offers his hand down to John.]

C'mon, I'll show you the elevator and we can head up to see the sun!

[longwinded]

[John takes the hand and pulls himself up.]

Well, we're from different planets. But essentially we all play a similar game and keep contact while we play. Some of them were mean, and bullied and bothered my friends and I.

[replicatedcourage]

Bullied? Really? But all the ones I've met are super nice!

[Suddenly a cranky Troll with stubby horns pops into his bubble with an angry face.]

Um, 'scept maybe Karkat. He was kind of mean. But Signless was asleep at the time so he was probably upset.

[Sola shrugs it off and starts tugging John towards the elevator.]

C'mon! We can go to the lighthouse! I've only looked at it from far away but maybe we can go explore that.

[longwinded]

Yeah, Karkat can be preeeeeetty cranky.

[Is that Karkat, John is totally laughing right now, in his bubble and out loud.]

Oh, that sounds like a good idea. Let's do it!

[replicatedcourage]

You know Karkat? Are you friends? I want to be friends but I dunno how to get him to be my friend 'cause he always seems busy or mad or something and I hate when people are mad at me.

[His bubble flashes through a crayon flip-cartoon of a tall blonde man in sunglasses throwing what looks to be a park bench right at Sola's face. Sola himself keeps walking for the elevator, but he looks sort of broody about it.]

[longwinded]

Well, we're kind of friends? He isn't from my end of the universe, but we do converse a lot from each others points of view. He's always flailing about something, that's like...normal for him. I would be worried if he wasn't doing it?

[John laughs a little, and who was that. He wasn't Dave...]

[replicatedcourage]

Wow, so I guess being on a whole different planet isn't a big deal for you, huh. I didn't even know anything else existed before I came here.

[He heads through the tunnel towards the smaller bubble where the elevator is housed, his thoughts running through a small tour of the Water Temple. It's really all he's ever known of the world before getting plopped here.]
