Thirty-First Flare - Video - Lunar Eclipse

[prominence_glow]

[Anyone familiar with Lea knows that being surrounded by animals has started to become an extremely common thing lately. Whether its any of his seventeen chocobos or Arden the Eevee, he's like a walking zoo.

But when the feed accidentally flickers on today, he's by himself. This wouldn't be of any particular interest, except of where he is. He's not

[oh man this is awkward]

... We can go to the carnival whenever you'd like.

[Don't worry, Takeru, he won't cry all over your clothes. Probably. Look, he even takes a minute to clean himself up before answering.]

Okay. That'd be great. Yeah. Sure you don't want to bring your friend? Since that's what I said I'd do.

[tonope]

I think you'd like to meet her.

[s-so awkward]

[prominence_glow]

[b-best sad smile he can manage, bro]

You wanna talk with her and see what we can do, then?

[Private] Video

[nos_servabit]

[He nods solemnly.] No problem, Lea. I always have time for you.

Whenever and whatever you would like to do, I'll be there.

[Private] Video

[prominence_glow]

I, uh, didn't have anything in specific planned, y'know? I kinda wasn't expecting today.

What do you like to do? I don't think I ever figured that out, or asked or anything.

I like to take long walks on beaches...though on second thought, there really aren't any here.

How about a walk in the plaza? We could investigate the shops they have there and you could show me around.

[Private] Video

[prominence_glow]

A walk...

[Pausing, he nods to himself.]

Yeah. That'd be nice. Where should we meet up?

/gonna assume someone took off the hat so he can talk seriously >>

[hisdreamsmyfate]

...people just vanish here?

[The thought is extremely unsettling, to say the least.

Where did they go? Did they just return home or was there some kind of purpose to them being taken away like this? Questions to ponder over later, but for now, he locks the feed to be able to talk to his friend privately.]

I'd be happy to. Just tell me when an' where?

[Because Lea right now needs a friend. He can offer that much.]

[prominence_glow]

[Oh hey, caught that. Whoops, never gave the rundown, right? Lea takes a deep breath so that he doesn't flip out, which is something that he's slowly getting better at. Not flipping out and all.]

They don't vanish- wait, no, they totally do, but it's... Sometimes it's a good thing. People, uh, they go back home. Vatheon gets forgotten, somehow, and, y'know.

Life moves on. I guess.

[He doesn't mention that for him and Isa, going home is a bad thing.]

I... just wanna do somethin' fun. You're feeling better, right?

[hisdreamsmyfate]

[Going home. It was the better option, rather than being abducted to gods-know-where and not knowing what'll happen to a loved one. But either way, it does still hurt, especially if they come back and forget about their previous time in the city.

He tries to change the subject - make Lea feel better.]

Yeah... most of it's gone, at this point. I wouldn't mind a tour of the city if you're up to it?

[prominence_glow]

Yeah!

I mean, more than game, you know. You're still new, so you probably haven't been to the Nostalgia Nook yet, right? It has all sorts of things from different worlds. Really fun.

[singularjustice]

[ Even though N's personality has been altered by the crown he is wearing, his face is solemn and serious as he looks at the SFC. ]

I am sorry for your loss, Lea. I would look forward to spending time with you, whenever you like.

[prominence_glow]

Thanks. I just... Maybe it's for the better. Maybe it's not. I don't know.

..I just hope he's happy.

[He's going to slip back into emotional mess territory in a second if he doesn't stop himself, so Lea quickly shakes his head and tries to get back to the subject at hand.]

Have you ever gone Chocobo riding? They really like racing around and stuff, and they don't mind passengers.

[singularjustice]

...I hope so as well.

[ N shakes his head. ]

Not since I was with you, that once. I would like to try it again. I would like to learn more about them, too. Red has a Chocobo, now, as well.

[prominence_glow]

I think I heard about that, yeah.

You're still leaving where you were last time? I can bring a couple of the flock down now.

[ninthserenade]

Love you too, Lea.

[For some reason, Athena appears to be missing--It's just Braig in his lap who seems content on playing with the locket while Demyx scratches his ears.]

...Want me to meet you somewhere?

video;

[prominence_glow]

...We should do the ferris wheel thing. We never did.

video;

[ninthserenade]

Okay, let's do that. Then we can get something deep fried and smothered in chocolate.

video;

[prominence_glow]

Yeah. It'll... It'll be fun!

[If there is any consistency here, then he's already been to the carnival today. This does not matter.]

Maybe we can take some onto the wheel, yeah?
