[Luckily he went by that name long enough that it's an automatic response to turn at the sound of it--he looks startled, but then he relaxes and smiles when he sees who it is. BABY BIRB.]
Familiars are, like creations, normally they are.. beings created, with aether. But, I was created, differently. I'm an entelechy, so I was made from.. emotion-driven energy. I'm capable of feeling.. the emotions of others, sharing their feelings.. hearing their thoughts.
anyways, interrupting this program with BUBBLE SLAM. ]
Oh-! [ she's already off balance, her hand unable to stop from touching said bubble that glows blue in response
and so, a memory begins. ]
When you come upon the scene with the rest of them, you can already feel it.
Hermes is your creator, after all. The turmoil, the pain, the ache of suffering you feel as your own.
Every time they must undo a creation.. it hurts him so. It hurts you, too. For him to feel so much. How alone he feels on this star. Being his familiar, his creation, you've always felt those emotions from him.
As his voice raises, you can feel that anger holding a vice grip around you. It's sharp, sharper than any weapon as it pierces into you, staggering your breath almost to suffocation. His emotions, his feelings, his thoughts overwhelm you and you rush forward.
[BUBBLE SLAM... even if he sees it in time, there's not much he can do to prevent it, and then they're being pulled into her memory anyway, so it doesn't matter much.
He blinks a few times, once it ends, reorienting himself.]
[ it's a lot-- simply because Meteion has been without her abilities, and being able to feel it again in the memory.. oof. but she's had it her whole life so, she easily adjusts to it. even if she has to shake her head a little to shake the sensation of the memory off. ]
That was.. my memory. It's been happening.. all day.
[ but, she's a bit relieved it was a memory like this. at least compared.. to some other ones, she has. not that this is any less to take in. ]
That was... Hermes. He's the one that created me. Anytime, they have to undo a creation... he gets very upset. It hurts him. [ it hurts her, too. to feel that pain through him. ] He doesn't like... death.
[ ah, right. ] It must've been.. a lot to feel those emotions, through me. Are you okay..?
[God, he can't imagine what the saniwa would feel if he had to break a sword himself. Then again, his master is a mysterious person--Yasusada doesn't truly understand him, even though he loves him.
Her concern makes him smile, though, and he reaches out, gently patting her head.]
I'm okay. It was a lot, but--it was like that all the time, when I first got this body. [Sometimes it still is, really. Yasusada's always felt things so strongly.] So I'm used to it.
[ with that memory, Meteion sure felt everything Hermes did... putting down a creation. that crushing pain, ache of loss, to put a life created to death... it is painful every time.
her eyes close briefly at the pat, peering back after. slightly reassured but.. her tail feathers swish anxiously. ]
..It was? [ she did know, from Buzen, that a lot of it was new.. having bodies like this. maybe that's why she was able to attach to them so easily. a sense of understanding. ] It's.. really familiar to me, to feel it again.
It still is sometimes. [There are some situations that will simply always be painful.] But it's been a few years for me. I think I'm getting used to it.
[To managing the weight, the burden of a heart and everything it carries within--or, at the very least, to start on the right path.]
[The bubble still hasn't freed them, though. So it's with slight hesitation that he reaches out to add his color, too--but fortunately, the memory she gets isn't unpleasant.]
[ Meteion is just on a bit of a walk after.. everything. though, a wing perks at sight of him and she lightly jogs carefully on over with a small wave. ]
Hiya, Yasu-chan. How are you..? [ her emotions are a bit wrapped up, trying to stay at ease and calm. ]
[AFTER EVERYTHING indeed. Yasusada's probably slowly on his way to the medbay, because sometimes there's a Charizard.
His own emotions probably answer her question well enough; sadness mixed with resignation, on top of lingering physical pain. Still, he smiles at her, holding out his hand for her to take. It's not the happiest of smiles, but his emotions do seem genuinely buoyed by her company, if only a little.]
I'll be alright. [But, in truth--] ...I'd hoped he would be saved, too.
[ yams, your Crisp. she'll tag along then, make sure he safely gets there. when his hand is held out she takes it almost immediately, a very gentle hold. ]
..I had hoped so, too. [ after what happened last week.. ] I wonder.. why last week was different, to this week? Was it because.. it was too late, for Malik?
[ it's such a sad and painful thought to have. but what if that was the reason why? or was it something else entirely? ]
[Sweet birb... he appreciates the handholding, for sure.]
I'm not sure what else it could be. [Not that there's no other possibilities, but if there are, he has no idea about them.] I'd wondered if maybe it's because Percy and Vax both survived, but... I don't know if we'll ever know for sure.
You don't really expect the, investigating to.. get dangerous, too.
[ well, there was that time when Clarte and her had occasional shocks to them but... nothing like a fire-breathing dragon. ] I'll come with you the rest of the way, if that's okay?
[He almost points out that Kashuu got stabbed in the leg by broken Buzen but he. Does not because he doesn't want to remind her about Buzen being dead.]
It was pretty surprising... I'm glad Esti-san was there.
[ As you approach a house you know to belong to blue and white starbird... well, in this case actually Meteion now, it's like the feeling of living in paradise. There is lush green all around, with plentiful of trees, with a stone building with a small and ancient-looking spire seeming located on what looks like could be a floating island. In the background, you can see other floating islands, with blue crystals likely linking them together.
There's an archway to greet you made of wisterias to enter, where you're greeted by the flyby of three-- no, four birds. The first is a blue bird, quick and shooting across like a star with a bright yellow one right beside it. A four-winged dark blue into pink ombre one seems to follow them both close behind with a rather larger raven with little beads interspersed in its feathers following not far behind.
A glance up at the sky shows it to be split right down the middle... one half being a welcoming dark blue with glittering gleams of stars whereas the other half is a rising sun horizon with blends of red, yellow and orange. Once you enter the building, there's a floating giant moon lantern in the center of the ceiling that seems to be in a current moon phase. Plastic glow in the dark stars are littered across all the walls and ceiling, the lighting only dim enough to show off these pretty stars.
One side of the wall has a tank where a familiar little ambystoma can be seen swimming around. Beside it on a table is a flourishing snowdrop flower settled in a pot. Meteion happens to be standing in front of her table orchestrion, wearing a necklace that looks like a flower, glowing a bright sunny yellow. She's fiddling with the knobs as a song starts to play. ]
Oh.. Yasu-chan! Hello. [ she offers a small wave, a sun pillow held in her other arm. ]
[Yasusada mostly stuck to helping with the Japanese-style houses, so this is the first time he's seeing her home!!! He looks around as he enters, waving back and trotting up to her.]
Heeeh, so this is what they did with it. Do you like it?
From what we saw on the other side, we could tell everyone was working hard! We all were really touched by it.
[ she does grow a little quiet at that question, shifting a bit. ]
..I think I'll be okay. It might be a little lonely, not being able to sleep with Buzen and Wicked but.. it's only for one night. [ itsuki too is included in that technically but he was three days versus the week and a half she had with the other two. ]
[He'd kind of gotten the impression that they were racing down rainbow road the whole time]
Don't worry--I'll watch over Buzen tonight, and Kiyomitsu's watching over Itsuki. We'll keep them safe, okay?
[And make sure they don't kill themselves trying to sneak out of their separate houses in the middle of the night. He doesn't know anything about Wicked but she's probably banging her two boyfriends so that's also fine]

when she realizes who it is, though. ] Okuzawa!
[ ...yeah. she didn't realize it was a false name, she is but baby and didn't look at the profiles. ]
no subject
You can call me Yasusada!
no subject
What are you doing up here..?
no subject
I was just looking! The citadel at home isn't a tall building like this. [So it's new and shiny!!]
w3, monday
[ NOODLE NICK BECAUSE she's holding up this NEON HOT PINK BABY PIG UP AT HIM? this petting zoo is so interesting. ] Look! Isn't it cute?
no subject
It is! Do you think they can use color magic too?
no subject
I'm not sure... but if they can, they would be, familiars then. Like me.
no subject
[He just accepted that she's vaguely tengu and never asked questions]
no subject
Familiars are, like creations, normally they are.. beings created, with aether. But, I was created, differently. I'm an entelechy, so I was made from.. emotion-driven energy. I'm capable of feeling.. the emotions of others, sharing their feelings.. hearing their thoughts.
[ she's empath to the. max. ]

That was.. my memory. It's been happening.. all day.
[ but, she's a bit relieved it was a memory like this. at least compared.. to some other ones, she has. not that this is any less to take in. ]
no subject
[The bubbles... that explains it. It's a little disorienting, but once he settles back into himself, he gives her a sympathetic look.]
That... what was happening, there?
no subject
[ ah, right. ] It must've been.. a lot to feel those emotions, through me. Are you okay..?

no subject
It's probably because, you're very strong, Yasu-chan. Everything that's happened.. it's a lot, but you're still able to keep moving forward, too.
no subject
I think you are, too.
[The bubble still hasn't freed them, though. So it's with slight hesitation that he reaches out to add his color, too--but fortunately, the memory she gets isn't unpleasant.]
no subject
but, Meteion looks on curiously, glancing over to Yasusada with just. questions on her face. ]
What was that..?
no subject
That's when we had a summoning celebration for Matsui Gou! [The opposite of her memory, essentially.]
no subject
It's very, very lively! Matsui... Gou. What are they like?
no subject
[yams has no idea why he just joined in for fun.]
I'm not really sure yet--I didn't get to spend much time with him before we were brought here.

no subject
We'll.. we'll figure it out. [ hopefully... she gingerly squeezes his hands. ] I hope, you're not in too much pain.
no subject
I'm okay. I'm going to use one of those pods, after this.
no subject
[ well, there was that time when Clarte and her had occasional shocks to them but... nothing like a fire-breathing dragon. ] I'll come with you the rest of the way, if that's okay?

Sure, if you aren't busy. I'd like that.

Heeeh, so this is what they did with it. Do you like it?
no subject
Hehe, I do. Emet-Selch did really well in recreating a bit of my home, from what I can remember. All the small things are really nice to see too.
no subject
[Because baby bird deserves everything!!!]
Will you be okay in here tonight?
