05 - week five

WEEK FIVE

Come Sunday morning, the portals around Estelline fade away, but not all of the oddities hanging around disappear so quickly. The recreations of your dreams and memories are still around, ever changing and shifting. Whatever it is that brought these things here hasn’t ended, not yet.

You don’t have time to worry about all of that, though, even if you know you should exercise caution once two of you found yourselves on the bad end of a monster’s claws. The course still isn’t over, though, even if the portals changed lesson plans. Everything continues on, with new places to explore as the fog pushes back once again. This week still feels a little more like what you’re familiar with, though, after Saturday’s lack of lessons.

...For now.

[ Fai nods as he picks it up. It's pink and sleek, much sleeker than the older models Hien knows. ]

I see...

[ But does he. ]

[selfconcept]

... You don't get it, huh?

[partymagician]

Ah... now is your chance to call me an old man...

[selfconcept]

Why? I doubt your place had these things.

[ Since, you know. Castles and magic stuff and all. ]

Me, calling you old. That's rich, Fai.

[ hello??? ]

[partymagician]

[ That's true. Although, he should have tried harder to learn the technology in the worlds he's visited. Oh well.

At least Hien's answer makes him smirk. ]

You're right, you grandpa.

[selfconcept]

Yeah, you youngster. That makes it ironic, huh? Though, it's been a long time since I used one like this...

[partymagician]

Did you like them when you used them?

[ That's what matters the most, he thinks. ]

[selfconcept]

Well... it was the only thing that was available at the time, so it's not like I had a choice if I wanted to play music.

[ And he didn't want to carry a stereo like a real music junkie. ]

[partymagician]

You've really experienced all different types of time periods...

[selfconcept]

Got nothing else to do than to go to worlds that don't want me.

[ ... ]

You look like a classical music sort of guy.

[partymagician]

[ Fai knows there's no need to comfort Hien over something like that, since he's already come to terms with it, so he says nothing at all. ]

Do I? Can you picture me playing the violin?

[selfconcept]

Definitely. You got the image down for sure.

[ Beautiful violinist... ]

Must be nice to be pretty.

[partymagician]

Ah... pretty is going a little too far, don't you think?

[ He's not bad looking, but. Pretty? No. ]

[selfconcept]

[ ... ... ...

Hien just gives Fai the deadest look he can ever muster before turning away to pull his camera out of his bag and tries to take a surprise shot of Fai. ]

[partymagician]

[ Hien will get a lovely picture of Fai staring wide-eyed at the camera, clearly taken aback by the photo. ]

[selfconcept]

[ He shakes the photo until it develops and then shows Fai... well, more like shoving it into his face. ]

See? Beautiful. I'm gonna keep this picture forever.

[ also because it's a rare moment that Fai looks surprised. ]

[partymagician]

I don't believe that.

[ So cheesy!! ]

[selfconcept]

You know what I'm gonna do?

[ He puts the camera and photo away. ]

I'm gonna make a poll next week. Whether you're pretty or not.

[ please dissuade him I don't want to make this tl fgsodnkd ]

[partymagician]

[ help ]

What if someone says I'm not? What will you do then?

[selfconcept]

I'll fight them.

[ Without hesitation and completely 100% serious. ]

[partymagician]

Hien...

[ An angry little puppy...

Fai puts is hands on his shoulders. ]

Call me pretty so many times that I'll start to believe it too. You don't need to make a poll.

[selfconcept]

Okay.

[ Fai said so!!! ]

I'm glad you're the first one I see when I wake up. A pretty sight for the sore eyes.

[partymagician]

[ Ah... he's mildly embarrassed. ]

Who knew you were so cheesy?

[selfconcept]

You make anything you wear look good. That's how pretty you are. You can even make a trash bag look fashionable if you wear it.

[partymagician]

I highly doubt that!

[ He laughs, suddenly feeling a bit nervous. But it's not a bad sort of nervousness, so Hien won't feel it at all. ]
