006 [Written]

[Now that Luke can stay awake for more than an hour, he'd really like to get back to the people of Auldrant as well as the friends he made here in Luceti. He still can't hear anything, but... well, maybe no one has to know that. As long as they don't try talking to him, he'll be fine.

And being bedridden for these past few days has been extremely boring.

So, he grabs his journal and writes.]

Hey... I'm back.

[... Yup. Not much to expand on there. So let's go on.]

Anyone have any good stories to tell? Or... Actually, what's the most fun you've ever had? Here or in your world.

[Filtered to Asch; 15% Unhackable]

Asch, can I talk to you?

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

... Good.

[He wants to ask more about how Asch is doing, buuut he'll probably just get snapped at. He can't help it, though; After being with Asch 24/7 for a few days, it kind of just... feels odd to be apart from him.]

Can I come see you sometime, if you're not going to come here?

[He certainly knows how awful it was; he'd seen Asch react the way he did when he'd see a hallucination, and even Luke himself saw a few things he'd rather not.

So let's just focus on the costumes!]

... Yeah. Hey, did you get a costume?

[Unfortunately, that was also one of the traumatic parts for Ion. He can't help it: right away, he blushes. It was the worst costume ever. He nods weakly, simply writing down:] "Yes."

[... It must've been embarrassing. As much as Luke's dying to know, and that much can be seen by the smile on his face, Ion's kind enough to write and not make too big of a deal out of his loss, so he'll try to let it go with a wave of his hand and a chuckle.]

Okay, okay, you don't have to tell me what it was. Were there any funny ones?

[He'll look back and laugh about it someday. Just give it a few decades. Unfortunately, he was far too ashamed of it to really go outside much... oh! But he can say what the others in the house wore, right?]

"Give me a second."

[Since descriptions were no fun, clearly the answer was he should draw what they were wearing! There's only one issue with this: Ion can't draw. In fact, he can't recall a time when he ever tried.]

[Which probably explains the look on his face when he looks up from the paper and lets Luke take a look. At least the names indicate they're of Anise, Nephry, and Dist. There was no other way to tell otherwise!]

"Okay, maybe I should have just described them instead..."

[Luke are you out to confuse the hell out of him.]

...Why?

[Oh, Luke draws about the same way. He waves his hand to indicate that it's not a big deal, and it's probably better than he would've done, and he just grins at the costumes.]

Heh! That really suits Anise, doesn't it?

[... Wait.]

... When did Dist get here?

[Yup. Luke's spent all this time here and had no IDEA Dist was around. Failure.]

[Consider it payback.]

Well... Because I want to! [Seriously Asch, is it a difficult concept to think that someone just wants to see you?]

[Yes. Yes it is. This is Asch you're talking to, you know.]

If you can't even hear, there's no point. We can talk just fine like this.

[This face, Luke. Just this face.]

"He's been here for awhile now. A few months before you got here. He lives with us."

[And after a moment, he adds on another piece of paper (knowing Luke might still think of Dist as just their enemy):] "It's complicated."

But it's not permanent! I don't... think it is. After that...!

[And right when Luke was about to ask about Dist living with them. Well, now he feels kind of dumb. B-But hey, it's not his fault that no one told him he was here and that Dist never contacted him or... anything!]

... And you're still okay? [Because, well. He is the enemy.]

[A nod and a smile.] "Dist is"

[How to put this?]

"Dist is different from how you and I remember him. He came here from farther in the future than us. He even apologized for" [Naturally he's glossing over that specific thing he apologized for.] "all the things he did."

[It was cold now, very cold. Cold enough for snow to begin falling. It was painful having to leave Ammy's tree for long periods of time, since Miyabi promised to protect it, but even she had to go back home and gather up thicker clothes, her cloak, and boots to head back out there. It was nothing like Kamui, but still.

So Luke's going to get a reply from someone all bundled up, and with a large, red bird - a cardinal - hovering over her shoulder. Looks like she's sitting in its nest in one of the tree's branches, how nice.]

~~As--~~ It's Luke, right? I can tell you a story, if you want. I know a lot, and this one's my favorite.

[Man, was everyone from his future? Still, Luke looks like he understands, as he lets out a soft "Oh" and nods. The look on his face suggests that he feels very sorry for Ion, but it can't be helped. If Dist apologized and is actually a good guy now, then he shouldn't be a problem.

He then reaches out to take Ion's notebook (after raising his eyebrows in permission, of course) and frowns as he draws something. Upon completion, there's a rather stick-figurish drawing of Asch in this outfit, with a grumpy >:( face and everything, though Luke makes sure to write "Asch" at the bottom.]

[It's still kind of hard to imagine that there's someone who's actually like an inch or so tall. He blinks and leans his head back from the bird, who looks like it could eat Miyabi or something, before he writes back to her.]

Sure, tell me!

... But you do know there's a big bird behind you, right?

Welcome back!

[~~Speak of the Devil and he will come.~~ Well, this certainly is unexpected.]

The replica? How--[Wait. Back? How long has he been here?!] Why didn't...rrgh!

[Oh, he's going to have some words for your original later, Luke.]

Of course it's not permanent. Which means that in a few days you'll be able to hear and you can talk to anyone you want in the damn village. You won't need me.

[Ah, you're not the first person to think along those lines, Luke, and probably not the last, either. Miyabi doesn't need to look over her shoulder, and the cardinal just huffs indignantly. Bird indeed! She was given a name, thank you very much!

Miyabi rubs the huge beak looming over her (that could indeed swallow her whole), and smiles as she writes.]

Yes. Akane is keeping me warm here until I can make a new house under Amaterasu's tree. Is it okay if she listens, too?

Don't say that; Of course I need you!

[He's not sure who this Amaterasu is, but maybe he'll ask later. Some girl's tree, he guesses.]

Yeah, sure, I don't mind. [Birds listening to stories and understanding them, ffff that is so cool.]

Hey, thanks!

Has everything been okay while I was gone? Other than the Halloween thing, I mean...
