[he rolls his eyes as he heads off. not the clown jokes!!

he leads them back to the central area, though, before making his way to the beach.]

[guestservices]

[ lets go to the beach beach

they follow along, looking around. there's nothing particularly unfamiliar here, though, they do sigh, tilting their head up a bit like they can inhale the salt air. their footsteps are graceful, moving easily down the beach. ]

Kinda makes me wish I could go for a swim.

[ktiseos]

I could simply throw you in.

[get your dumb uniform wet, just do it.

also i BET it's not unfamiliar :T]

[guestservices]

Try me.

[ stop challenging them ]

[ktiseos]

Well, if you insist.

[come here he's trying to scruff them by the back of the uniform. he is respectfully leaving their hat alone.]

[guestservices]

[ as emet reaches out, shadows overtake aquila's form, and then, they vanish.

...they reappear about ten feet away, wiggling their gloved fingers in a hello. C8 ]

[ktiseos]

Now you are simply showing off.

[THAT'S HIS SPELL.]

[guestservices]

[ nyehehehe

they tilt their head. very innocent. incredibly gremlin vibes. ]

Sorry! I can't hear you from over here.

[ but they then shadow travel again, closer to emet, though still out of arm's reach. ] Sucks not to have powers.

[ktiseos]

Yes, thank you, I have noticed.

[he misses those powers. :T]

At least the Prism saw fit to give us some manner of replacement, small as it was.

[guestservices]

[ checks the date on this thread

they whistle. ]

Yeah, well, this place isn't really that nice. You bought a power, didn't you?

[ktiseos]

I did, yes, but it shall have to remain held in reserve.

[emergency purposes only...]

[guestservices]

[ a shrug. ]

That's the best you got. Not all murder getaways are equal!

What kind of powers did you have here?

[ktiseos]

I have gotten that impression, yes.

[at least this place also has beds for everyone, he's heard some shit.]

As for myself- all of them, technically. My color could replicate any other, albeit reduced in strength.

[guestservices]

Huh. Sort of a jack of all trades situation.

[ they make a little noise, starting to walk absently closer again, watching their shoes sink into the sand. ]

Coming somewhere like this, somebody could think you were nostalgic.

[ktiseos]

...I suppose they could.

[maybe he is. he wasn't gone long, but...

there are still some fond memories, from the prism.]

[guestservices]

[ they pause for a moment. ]

Wanna get it off your chest? Like we talked about last time.

[ktiseos]

It is simply-- strange, seeing it once more, and knowing the only others here who might miss anything from it are not the ones I was close to.

[must be nice, to have people here you already trust.]

[guestservices]

Ahhh.

[ they tug at the edge of one of their gloves briefly, and then fold their hands behind their back. ] Lemme guess, it took you time to trust the people you were close to there, too?

[ktiseos]

I feel as if it would be strange if it had not.

[isn't that just normal?]

[guestservices]

I don't disagree.

[ they shrug a shoulder.

a little more seriously, thoughtful. ]

...Well. What kind of qualities did the people you trusted have?

[ktiseos]

Half of them were persistent annoyances.

[guestservices]

[ oh they laugh ]

So, you're doing a good job already with that one! C'mon, seriously.

[ktiseos]

There is a measure of truth to it.

[sometimes just being present all the time is worth a decent amount, actually.]

...I valued intelligence in them. A desire to do what was best. A sense of reason.

On occasion, I suppose the more-- emotional intelligence some possessed proved useful.

[guestservices]

So, sounds like you've got to find those qualities in other people here.

[ they tilt their head back for a moment. though the veil is completely opaque and shows nothing, emet can see they have a small pin on their collar, shaped like a sun that i definitely forgot to mention the first tag here. ]

Think you've already started doing that, too. Least, as far as I've watched.

Trust is a two way street, though. Them being persistent, that's one thing, but you gotta let them in, too. Yeah? Can't just expect whoever it is to run to you the whole time and you take the one step towards them to meet in the middle.

You're getting close to Lup, right? Think there might be anyone else that fits those qualifications?

[ktiseos]

I do not see what business it is of yours, whether I do or not.

[he mutters, turning to look out over the water. the pin doesn't go unnoticed, but-- it's not a symbol that's easy to look at, not in a place like this.

they'd love everyone. it'd kill them, to see them die.]

Or my opinions of others, for that matter.
