jonathanbittern:

jonathan stared at the flashlight weirdly when it turned back on. “dumb thing.” he dropped it to the ground carelessly. a small thud could be heard from it. “fine. aiwei.” only the question aiwei asked got him thinking and the first clear memory was him and his father counting money. and jonathan just got back into thinking something different once again. he immediately glared at him. “so? why can’t i be reading a book? is it wrong, you hairy potato?”

“...no,” he said, quiet as a mouse. he lowered his head, immediately regretting being there. “no, it’s not wrong, you can -- you can read, that’s okay,” he said quickly, pressing his lips at the insult. it wasn’t the worst thing he’d been called but he didn’t like the tone behind it.

jonathanbittern:

“oh, look, a hippo.” jonathan was out in the night, using a flashlight to read a book. he could have easily turned around but instead, thought, ‘i haven’t read a book outside yet.’ “what big,  enormous mouths.” he seemed more interested in the hippo than other animals. the giraffe was quite interesting, only because of how tall it is. that’s all. he stood up straight when he heard footsteps nearby and closed the book. “huh, who’s there? show yourself!” not to blind anyone, he clicked the button to shut off the flashlight.

aiwei immediately put his hands up as the flashlight was shone on him. “i come in peace,” he said, with a gulp. the boy was never sure if he could count jonathan as a friend; his general demeanour and the history with his father always made him wary. but he offered an awkward smile now, waving a little. “it’s, uh, aiwei. from back home. are you...” he arched an eyebrow, “reading?”

pegasus-little-wing:

Peri couldn’t help but bust out laughing. He clapped a hand on his back. “Dude, I’m joking. You can relax.”

Aiwei’s jaw dropped. “Dude...” he sighed, shaking his head slowly with wide eyes. “You cannot joke about dropped brains with a dead person, man, it’s serious business. I know someone who got his brains stepped on once!”

[agutknecht]

@pegasus-little-wing said:  ❝ Nobody move! I dropped me brain! ❞

“WHAT?” Aiwei froze on the spot, mid-walk. He balanced on one foot, just in case the brain was close by. “Dude, oh my god, pick up your BRAIN --”

We never said we were innocent.

corpse-daughter-terra:

Terra laughed at the idea. “That sounds like a plan.” She grinned. “How have you been, Aiwei?”

“I’ve been good so far. Just, uh, normal. Average,” he shrugged. He put a hand on his chest subconsciously, feeling the staples and stitches. “And you? Anything interesting happen?”

oricns:

“people can live without hearts, but the way i’ve always been taught is that we shouldn’t want to live without a heart. at least while we’re alive. it’s a bit complicated, and i don’t completely understand it myself. i would’ve had to have lived in my dad’s time.” he understood the concept of kingdom hearts, or at least what his father had waned from it, but it was still confusing to think about when he’d never actually seen it. he laughed. “thank you, and thanks for the mini-tour. let’s hope i can remember where this place is for next time.”

“oh,” aiwei blinked, nodding. he hadn’t thought about that before. he’d wanted a heart before, long ago, but now he’d accepted he didn’t need it. didn’t want it. “why...shouldn’t people want to live without a heart? other than the obvious health reasons,” he said, curious now. aiwei put on a smile. “yeah! yeah, no worries, and hey, if you want any future help, just ask anyone around here -- we’re generally all friendly,” he assured him.

[agutknecht]

corpse-daughter-terra:

“Oh, right.” Terra giggled. “I thought I’d try to be funny. Did it work?”

“It worked a little. Maybe next time we could say it in a room full of people and then watch everyone try to find where the dead bodies are!"

@amongsttheunliving said:  ❛ You know, for an old man you ain’t bad in a fight. ❜

Aiwei hit some more buttons on his controller and his fighter threw Emmy’s fighter over his head. “Ha, beat that! RESPECT YOUR ELDERS.”

[agutknecht]

@corpse-daughter-terra said:  ❛ There are two dead people in here! ❜

“Terra, we’re the dead people in here.”

[agutknecht]

oricns:

orion chuckled at the joke. “really? i guess our type of magic isn’t well-known, and i don’t completely comprehend it myself. there’s a lot of talk about fate and destiny, and heart – can’t forget the heart.” his father’s dedication to kingdom hearts had been his downfall, really. “oh, right. i’m orion moon,” he said, shaking the boy’s hand. “nice to meet you, aiwei.”

“fate and destiny, huh? there’s a little of that in every sort of magic, i’d say. and, y’know, it’s been known that people can live without hearts. in a way,” he said, with a little knowing smile. “orion moon? you’ve got the most stellar name ever,” he grinned. and finally, he remembered to open the door, gesturing for orion to walk inside. “and here’s the astrology building!”

[agutknecht]

oricns:

“that sounds like a nice place to live, considering it’s a place for the dead.” he’d never thought he’d say that, but there was a first for everything. “then i’ll make sure to keep my eyes peeled for them.” he looked forward, memorising every detail of the astronomy building. he doubted that doing so would prevent him from getting lost anytime soon, but he may as well try. “pretty much. my father’s powers come from the moon, so when i was born, we assumed that i would be the same. i haven’t tested that out yet, though.”

“yeah, we’ve got five star ratings on trivago,” he joked, laughing at his own quip. aiwei’s eyebrows rose at his explanation. “-- okay, i’ve heard of a man on the moon but i’ve never heard of someone getting their powers from the moon. that is cool --” he was about to say the boy’s name before he realised he never got it. they reached the entrance to the building and aiwei had one hand on the door-handle and the other reaching out for a shake. “oh, my god -- i’m sorry i didn’t introduce myself before -- i’m aiwei. gutknecht.”

“there’s no need to get me an actual gift. it’s not necessary.” she took the survey, quickly scanning it. she didn’t see what the issue was. people were complaining about the dance, and with good reason, but writing their issues down would help the problem be addressed quicker. at least in theory. she didn’t think the staff were all that great at putting things into practice.

“i didn’t. i’m not really one for parties,” she said. “we had a small one sometimes, when my godmother and her father were in town. it was just them, myself, my dad, my godfather, and our housekeeper.”

“okay, maybe not an actual gift but a treat or something. everyone deserves a bit of a treat on their birthday,” he beamed. “like coffee! or hot cocoa or tea, or whatever you like to drink. one drink on me,” he said, pointing his thumb at himself proudly. aiwei nodded at her explanation about the lack of a party but was still curious -- “so...you still got a lot of presents, though. i estimate it’ll take you a few days to get through them,” he teased lightly. “have you opened some already?”
