A true sunshine protagonist. Country bumpkin, slow on the uptake. Wants to be everyone's friend. Swordian Master of fire, incredibly hot-blooded. A GOOD BEAN. Please love him. He's my favorite and I am biased.
The original fabulous Tales science lady. Probably wants to dissect you pretty shamelessly. Loves and adores cute things. Inventor of the Swordians. Definitely the definition of Mad Scientist.
Sunny wingman. Super hot-blooded, but always means well. Believe in equality and good. Cooks a lot, sometimes well, others times not. Solves problems with his fists. It's pronounced "teatray."
Peepants nerdlord. Picky, fussy, and particular about things, stickler for order. Tendencies to tsun, because he's bad at showing his feelings. IS REALLY A HUGE NERD AND GOOBER, THOUGH.
The name of the game is: give me your Tales, and I'll give you mine! Leave a comment with your Tales character, calling out one of mine (with or without a prompt), or give me the option to choose who I want to toss back! Need ideas? Take some scenarios! Colors order my priority for playing them, other Tales from my muselist are welcome in small doses as well!
[ Omg, I'm just going to slam a reply in here so I don't forget?!!!! We could do the escort quest for Elize? Elize who doesn't really need an escort, but has some escorts anyway BECAUSE SHE'S A TOKEN LOLI/much to her dismay. I'm saying this is post-X1 Elize because I don't feel like controlling Teepo. ]
i will grab her shoulders and guide her here, it's fine
[it's okay, elize. at least the escort are good, friendly people.
...or. well, one of them is.
but if nothing else, stahn is bright and full of smiles. he doesn't mind escorting someone where they need to go safely, especially not someone who he'd never want to see get hurt. he wouldn't underestimate her abilities, not when he's seen the destiny token loli be incredibly effective in battle.
but stahn is still a big brother at heart, so there's a protective streak in that way... as well as just generally wanting to keep other people safe from harm.]
I think we're all ready to go! [he'll exclaim brightly...
and then pause, canting his head to one side and asking.] What town are we going to again?
[....stahn....
he needs help too, apparently. just in a very, very different way.]
[ The more, the merrier? Elize enjoys company most times, but her tone sounds a touch irritated. By now, she knows the highroad to the city well. She's confident she would have made it back to Sharilton on her own, even when she no longer has Teepo by her side. It shouldn't have been necessary for Rowen and Driselle to seek out bodyguards for her.
She clutches onto her belongings, as well as her staff. ]
Umm... the two of you don't really have to come along.
[ Just saying!!!! Stahn doesn't seem too bad to be around. The other guy though... he seems kind of scary. ]
It's pretty dangerous out there, though, isn't it?
[it's really not that he's trying to undermine elize's ability to handle herself, either.
of course, the fact that elize is even annoyed by this at all goes right over his head. his words are of earnest concern, still said with a certain measure of brightness before he breaks out into a bright grin.]
I don't even think I'd want Leon to go on his own, and he's really strong! [naturally!! he will boast about his best friend's amazing strength to her. this way she will both know that she's going to be safe in their care and so that she knows leon will protect her too.
he may be kind of grumpy, but he's a good person and won't hurt her.
(and even if he did anything like that, stahn would scold him anyway. so.. it's fine? it's fine.)]
[Leon sure doesn't look any more willing to be nice about this... he looks around, arms crossed, brow furrowed.
He doesn't look all too impressed by the loli they're escorting, but it's okay, Elize, he doesn't look impressed by anyone. Not Stahn either, so it definitely isn't new.]
... Hmph. This is simply a matter of duty, so do not make this more difficult than it must be.
I'm not making anything difficult. We haven't started walking yet!
[ Okay, now her annoyance is more directed towards Leon.
Sorry, she just doesn't know Leon well enough to realize looking unimpressed is his default look. At least Stahn's upbeat attitude assures Elize that she's in good company. If it were only Leon on this job, then that would be a different story.
Yet she still has to ask: ]
Are the two of you really friends?
[ The answer is obvious (from Stahn, anyway), but she just has to... make sure...! ]
life would be great if dw would send me notifs for this thread
[stahn's got no problems scolding him, at least. he'll probably reap the consequences of that pretty quickly, but it doesn't stop him from arguing anyway.
elize didn't do anything wrong, after all. so the scolding is there in part because there's no reason to act like elize is being difficult, and also so that elize knows that leon is the one being kind of petulant about this.
in his own way.
but her question as least comes with an easy answer.]
Mm, mm! We're best friends, we've been doing this for a long time! [he's so pleasant about it. even if leon's this way, stahn wouldn't choose anyone else to be his best friend, not ever.] Don't mind him too much, he's like this a lot!
So the two of you are friends. If you say so, Stahn.
[ But what did Leon just say?! Actually, no, Stahn's words are more believable to her. There's enough genuine friendliness and sunshine from Stahn, so obviously, she chooses to believe him. And it's probably no wonder how he can be so pleasant around him.
They really are friends. Even if Leon is no... Teepo. ...Teepo was happy, smiling, and so cute! ]
This way leads to Sharilton.
[ Elize starts walking, before she can hear any protest about not being friends. ]
[leon can be a huffy baby about it all he wants—but elize is probably right to disregard leon. it could just end up in needless, petty arguing, even if this is sure to make leon even grumpier. oops.]
Right, let's get going! I hope it's a pretty smooth trip...
[not too much danger, though that's probably inevitable at some point. either way? stahn's holding up a satchel and smiling.]
We've got a lot to eat though, if you get hungry! [he's got a mysterious food sack, honestly. full of goodies to eat when they feel the need.] Sharilton's a bit of a hike, right?
[ She quietly tags along as Leon takes the lead, until... Stahn holds up his satchel of goodies. Food, you say! ]
Oh!
[ Elize sounds delighted, suddenly more enthusiastic than her usual timid self. Perhaps the need to eat is... now? She is a tiny girl, but also a big eater. FEED HER. Her eyes light up at the thought of food. ]
What did you bring? There must be all kinds in that bag!
[leon needs to just cool his jets and accept that they are Friends, but stahn is pretty good at ignoring stuff like that.
you know, to focus on what's important.]
Mm, mm! We've got sandwiches and rice balls and... [time to look at what he's got in his food sack of tricks, because tales mechanics with food make a lot of sense.]
[He hears it but it's not!! Like he cares!! Or likes parfaits!! Shut up, Stahn.
Leon just huffs faintly under his breath and keeps on walking, because that's how Leon is. Stahn can make friends with Elize and be all buddy buddy--Leon will make sure no monsters pop up, because that's what he does.

Elize & Stahn (& we can prolly ask Cal if she wants to bring Leon LOL)
i will grab her shoulders and guide her here, it's fine

[....stahn....
he needs help too, apparently. just in a very, very different way.]
i've been guided
Leon is not.
He's quiet for a long moment, standoffish and off to the side, arms crossed.]
... Sharilton, Stahn. Pay attention to the task at hand.
[At least someone here does seem to know what he's doing, even if he's also an asshole dick about it.]
FINALLY re-directs myself back here...
[ The more, the merrier? Elize enjoys company most times, but her tone sounds a touch irritated. By now, she knows the highroad to the city well.

We are not friends.
[Ah.
It's one of those situations.
And then he shoots Stahn a scowl for the scolding, though he's more focused on the mission than on Stahn's fussing.]

It's not like
He wants any
Or anything!!!!]
