open post ☀ stahn aileron





a: a lost boy;
[they say "there's no place like home." some also say "wherever you go, there you are."

stahn aileron, though, tends to handle things just a little differently when in a strange place. and he's definitely in a strange place right now. though he's been all over the world, none of the sights seem familiar.

so what stahn has to say at a time like this is "whenever in doubt, ask your sword!"

and so he does, holding up a rather old, but ornate sword in front of him. the blade is pointed upward, and it's probably a bit strange. what is that guy doing?]


Hey, Dymlos... do you recognize this place? I think we might have made a wrong turn somewhere...

[the problem here is that very, very few beyond swordian masters can actually hear dymlos speak. those who are exceptionally spiritually inclined might, or those with a certain exceptional strength that could make them a potential master. those who don't posses that will definitely just see a weirdo blonde with a massive mullet talking to himself. those who do will hear a voice much deeper than stahn's responding.]

Something is amiss; I know we didn't make any wrong turns, but this isn't anywhere in Darilsheid.

[well, that seems like a problem.]

I thought so too. Maybe we should backtrack? Or do you think we should just ask around?

[someone help him before he ends up wandering into the abyss as nightfall sets...

or just call him out on talking to himself, it's fine.]




b: takoyaki;
[well, the plus side to friendship with stahn? he'll definitely protect you in a bind, and he'll make sure to show his appreciation however he can. he works hard to cultivate his friendships. even if you hate him, he probably thinks you're his friend.

or will be determined to make you one, unless you've done something truly deplorable like trying to destroy the world or killing his best friend or something.

but hey, part of the perks? food. which is why when stahn sees a takoyaki stand on the street, he's pretty immediately hype.]


Mmm, do you smell that? There's takoyaki nearby! [he... really likes takoyaki, it's fine.] Come on, come on, let's go share some, my treat! [there's no getting out of this.]




c: sleep;
[have you ever met a person who really truly sleeps like the dead?

congrats, you have now!

it could be literally anywhere. rooming together. on the street, while walking—the sky's the limit, because this boy can sleep anywhere, and waking him up...

well, there's a reason the aileron secret arte is calling "waking the dead" and requires slamming a ladle against a frying pan and shouting loudly. please though... try your luck? maybe eventually stahn will stop snoring and drooling.]



d. wildcard;

Takoyaki?

[WHY ARE THESE TWO HANGING OUT, we just don't know, but here they are! either way, she looks intrigued]

What's takoyaki? I'm not certain I've had the pleasure of indulging myself with that particular cuisine just yet.

[this is just what Maxwell needs: to be introduced to more food]

[well, even if he didn't answer her question, Milla is following with obvious eagerness. and her expression seems to light up even more once those delectable takoyaki smells reach her nose]

Oh! It smells wonderful. A savory blend of spices and fried flour batter.

[she nods, determined, as though her mind is made up]

Very well. I accept your offer.

[as if following him to the stand wasn't acceptance enough]

[she'd offer to help pay, but being Maxwell meant that she had spent most of her life (inside a human body) receiving offerings from the villagers of Nia Khera. she's used to accepting gifts without protest, and this time is no different!]

Octopus? I see. . . so it's a type of sea food.

[she places her hands on the counter and leans into the booth, which earns her a few weird looks from the workers. IS SHE TRYING TO CLIMB INSIDE. . .]

Do you think they'd let me watch them prepare it? I have to admit, my curiosity is getting the better of me.

[STAHN AND MILLA ARE TRULY TALES PROTAG SOULMATES]

I'd like that. If we learn to make it ourselves, then--

[but her excitement is ruined by the straight man of the bunch, and with a slightly annoyed "hmph" she pulls herself away from the booth. much to the relief of the workers]

Is that any way to talk to Maxwell, the Lord of Spirits?

[she addresses the sword with a stern gaze, one hand propped on her hip]

[. . . as though Milla hasn't "caused disturbances" before. . . SHE'S VERY GOOD AT IT, APPARENTLY]

Is peering into the takoyaki booth truly "causing a disturbance?" I didn't see any signs that prohibited me from entry.

[if humans didn't want her to enter their booths they should just??? say so???]

[still, Stahn calms her down, and she relaxes some with nothing but an annoyed sigh]


Perhaps it would be best if we ask the workers for the recipe once they deliver our order.

[MAXWELL NEEDS NO BABYSITTER!!]

We could perhaps learn how to make it together? I have to confess, as much as I love food, I've never learned how to cook.

[THIS]

[IS A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN]

Don't be silly. I appreciate all foods.

[she knows what she's about, son]

The only way I won't like takoyaki is if it's poorly made, I assure you.

[personal profile] thatsthespirit 2017-05-13 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
[at least he isn't the only one. . . she's admiring the smell and the beauty of this little cardboard container with wide eyes and a grumbling stomach]

It's. . .

It's beautiful.

[l-lifts a hand to wipe her mouth]

[don't worry, she is picking one of those delicious takoyaki balls up by the toothpick immediately. and although she is dying to stuff that delectable piece of food into her mouth, she at least pauses long enough to blow on it]

[can't taste anything when your tongue is scalded, after all]


That's very kind of you. Thank you. Let's see. . .

[and now comes the moment of truth. . . CHOMP. . .]

[. . . !!!!!]


-- oh! These complex flavors. . .

[ONE DAY... One day Sakyou will actually probably have the power to hear Swordians. He's got some wild stuff in his future, okay. Wild stuff and magic swords and also cursed swords and it's A Time.

But for now? For now, he's definitely just seeing some weirdo talking at his sword. HM.

...Best evacuate this weirdo before he does anything sketchy.]


—Excuse me, sir. I couldn't help but overhear you... Do you need directions?
thatsthespirit: (pic#10763766)

[personal profile] thatsthespirit 2017-05-16 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
[oh. . . oh no. . .]

[if he expected sympathy from Milla, well. he isn't getting it. instead, she lifts a hand to her mouth and chuckles in amusement]


Patience doesn't seem to be your strong suit, does it?

[happily helping herself to a second takoyaki ball, too]

["IT'S PROBABLY FINE" look, that is what so many people in his canon say before they die horrifically.

On the plus side, this guy really doesn't seem too outwardly nefarious... Sakyou's pretty good when it comes to detecting sketchiness considering he himself is sometimes sketchy as heck, so he's totally a Grade A expert here.]


May I ask where you were heading? I'll do my best to help. [...] Though I've only recently moved here, myself, so I can't be sure that I'll be a handy guide if you need to travel the backroads.
modissty: (it's a daft punk)

I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS DISBELIEF HAPPENING HERE

[personal profile] modissty 2017-06-04 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
[HE DOES HIS BEST TO NOT BE SKETCHY but unfortunately they can't all be as un-sketchy as Stahn... And he is kind of sketchy at heart anyway, so really, Dymlos is Not Entirely Wrong.

Anyway, what the heck is a Darilsheid. He can't even pronounce it, weighing it on his tongue without speaking it aloud for a second or two before deciding that those are some pronunciation Olympics he just won't win.]


I... don't believe I've ever heard of that before. Do you know which domain it belongs to?
