Yes. I want to know what it brings to the table about Ryslig. A keener eye might be able to dig up some mysteries for solving. Plus, I can draw what I find. The park and the lake are getting old. [ Anything to sound more dramatic and needy. ]
Is a pirate cave not romantic enough for you?
no subject
[Or they're magic and they move. But he didn't really catch that at the time, being more preoccupied with other Concerns.]
The only thing is it'd be a lot of wilderness camping, it's not like there's a hotel there or anything. You're okay with that?
no subject
[ Man, fuck sleeping outside. ]
I was thinking of maybe waiting to go until I get my snake body back. Cold as it may be, I stick to things better when we are navigating.
[ He sticks his hands on his hips. ] What, you don't think I can handle camping??
no subject
[He smiles faintly, the hint of a grin playing about the corners of his mouth as the amusement washes over him.]
I think you can handle anything. The question is how much complaining am I going to have to listen to while we're at it.
no subject
[ He will complain. Rohan hoists himself up onto his toes and turns in a complete, unwobbly circle. ]
I don't want to break these while I have them. [ Pretty ballerina feet, man. ]
I'm feeling better already.
We could even dance.
no subject
[HE KNOWS YOU.]
...I don't really know how. To dance, I mean, except — uh.
[He glances away instinctively, a sheepish look flickering across his expression.]
I used to be able to moonwalk, but that's about it.
no subject
I don't think the moonwalk is going to work with your Death Toes right there.
I was mostly kidding but if you wanted to try, you can't make a fool of yourself in my room.
[ You sure can. ]
no subject
[He casts around for a minute, though, then backs up a little bit and holds out one of his clawed hands, palm-up, in apparent offer.]
Just be quick on your feet in case it starts to look like I'm going to step on your feet or kick you in the shins or something. You brought this on yourself, and I don't want to have to go ask Mana to fix your feet after you've just gotten them back to begin with.
no subject
If she has to fix them, I'll just keep the legs for a little longer.
[ It's not even a dance. It's a weird sway of a movement disguised as one. ]
Let me ask you... Is it weird that I think seeing myself as what I'm supposed to be is more unusual than seeing myself as a snake?
no subject
[It's very apparent that Jotaro's idea of dancing is going to be more along the lines of moving in slow circles while holding hands, possibly to a rhythm that at least one of them is following, but there's a kind of lazy playfulness to it, too, the way he pulls his wings in close and makes at least a token effort at moving according to some kind of beat.]
People who go to prison for years sometimes have a hard time acting "normal" again, because they're not used to the freedom. People who go to war have a hard time being civilians again. When you get used to living a certain way...it can be hard to change from that, even if you know the change is for the better. Or the change is becoming something right instead of wrong.
I think as long as you don't start deciding that your snake tail is what's right, it's not that surprising to think of it as what's usual. At least not around here.
no subject
It's just going to go back to being that way again in a few weeks. I want to enjoy it while it lasts but it's so strange to see and feel... Barring that, I don't have scales everywhere either. I don't think the legs are the most drastic change after all when I think of what my hands used to look like.
Or not being cold all the time.
It's like changing to something new all over again. Just... Quieter.
no subject
[He moves them through another partial turn, feeling strangely gawky and clunky with all his monster attributes in comparison to Rohan's much smaller frame.]
You made the scales look good, for...what it's worth. Mine just look like something grew partway over me, but yours always looked...you really pulled it off. You always pull everything off, it's one of your talents.
we can prooooobably round it off at the next post if that sound good!
[ His eyes turn to Jotaro's scales. He's never had a bad thing to say about them since they came in.
Except when he bled all over the apartment. ]
It's called handling things with grace, Jotaro. It takes practice. You've gotten along just fine. Don't try so hard and it will feel better. More natural.
Now be quiet and dance with me for a little while before I tell you what I'm doing with my leftover snake tail.
[ That will be an Adventure. ]
sounds good to me!
[And that's...oddly romantic, almost, but he does as he's told and quiets, in favor of just kind of idly moving Rohan around the room in those weaving circles instead.]
