Who: Cielo and whoever else is out in this weather
Where: The island! On the beach!
When: Afternoon
Style: Whichever [suits you]
Status: Open
[Cielo didn't know it was raining when he went up to the island, but once the doors to the elevator open, all he does is look up for a moment and then step out into it. It's the first time he's seen rain in Vatheon - the bubble's weather is mostly the same and every other time he's been on the island, it's been bright and sunny.
He loves that bright and sunny weather of course, but rain brings back memories. Memories of the Junkyard. Cielo has no love for the world he comes from, but the rain is soothing all the same. If he were to be honest, sometimes he did miss the sound of falling droplets.
The beach looks really different like this. It's not bad. Just...different. He had originally come up to fly and swim, and that was what he was going to do. He gets right into the water and swims for a while, eventually returning to the beach where he sits down and takes a break, looking out at the ocean.
In the rain.]

Opposite of darkness, ja? We call them Expel skills where I come from.
no subject
[He has pretty much no idea what Cielo's talking about now.]
Would it be too much to ask for a demo?
no subject
All the ones I knew disappeared when I came here, and there isn't any way for me to relearn them.
[All of that macca that was spent learning them down the drain.]
no subject
[The 'relearning' process raises a few more questions, but he's already got a pretty long queue of ideas to throw at Cielo. Understanding takes patience and perseverance, a wise man once said.]
I wonder...is the trait for being able to shift into that demon form hereditary?
no subject
I don't have a family.
no subject
[He fails to notice his own awkward silence as he taps a finger on his chin, just staring at Cielo's form for a bit longer.]
Correct me if I'm wrong, but you don't seem to have any eyes in that body.
[That only took him ages to realize.]
no subject
You're right. I can't see like this. But I don't need to.
[He can hear, smell, feel, and in general just sense where things are and what they're doing.]
no subject
[A subconscious grin spreads across his face as Celty's sensory smoke fills his train of thought.]
So if you get an independent visual stimulus, [He waves a hand in front of the highest point of Cielo's body he can reach,] do you just process it through your other senses?
no subject
I guess? I can tell you just waved your hand if that's what you're asking.
[He's not entirely sure what you're asking, Shinra.]
no subject
[Shinra doesn't even notice Cielo's confusion as he peers closer at his head, but that more or less answers his question.]
And even without eyes, you can perceive static and dynamic visual stimuli though another kind of receptor?
[He starts doing a pretty stupid-looking dance around Cielo, complete with flailing limbs, to see if he can follow the motion.]
no subject
I have no idea what you're talking about.
no subject
[Oh, the tests he could run on a sensory system like that!
He thankfully stops his weird jig and goes back to trailing his finger around Cielo's line of sight, watching his reaction as he does so.]
To put it simply, I'm just curious as to how you can detect movement without eyes.
no subject
Canon sure doesn't tell.He's not even going to try to figure it out himself. He follows Shinra's finger, jaws opening slightly as he does.]It's kind of like I have another sense.
no subject
but oh how Shinra loves his challenges.]So your vision doesn't change at all in this form? You still see clearly, and in color, and the whole shebang?
no subject
Completely blind.
[Demons, how do you work?]
no subject
He had just—
—and the dance, and...
Whaaaaa?]
...Every time I think I understand how you work, you throw some biologically impossible curveball at my head. It's pretty bothersome.
no subject
no subject
It has to make sense, somehow. It'll just take a little more research, is all.
[He offers his bright, friendly I'm-going-to-cut-you-open-one-day smile.]
no subject
I guess you can figure it out if you put your mind to it, ja? Anything else you want to ask?
[Because they've been talking for a while now! Serph will probably be wondering where he went soon.]
no subject
Hmm...
[With his curiosity good and spent, he slowly realizes that he's still sopping wet. Damn.]
No, I think that covered most of what I wanted to know. Thanks for showing me your, ah, that.
no subject
No problem. You can always ask if you want to see it again, ja?
no subject
[Shinra pauses halfway through turning towards the elevator to watch Cielo's transformation with a look of deep interest. The people in this place really do make Ikebukuro look tame, and that's saying a lot at times.]
It was nice meeting you!
