action || open
[Nothing seems out of the ordinary at the start. The season has changed with the date, abrupt as ever, bringing with it clear signs of the beginning of Fall, a chilly atmosphere replacing the warmth of summer. However, that isn't the only change today – and to anyone finding themselves near any of the many bodies of water around Miracle Country, the difference will become apparent very quickly.

The ocean, the river, the lake, it all slowly but surely rises and overflows, flooding the surrounding areas more and more every second. Good luck finding shelter, as the water level will continue to rise until the buildings, the forests and part of the caves around the islands are all submerged. The trees will seem to expand underwater, until makeshift bridges form from the tangled growth of branches, surprisingly sturdy. In lieu of the usual places to go, people may notice that clear domes will start to rise out of the water, each with supplies inside like blankets, pillows, and bandages. Be careful not to drop them into the sea! Others may find treehouses above the waters with similar basic supplies, none too cozy otherwise. And in the worst case scenario? There are the usual boats to be found.



Food will be available in the varied amount of fish and other animals to be caught in the water. For those who frequent the river or beach, it'll be clear there's a much higher amount of them, of all sorts of colors and sizes. One thing that doesn't change is the rising danger the closer one gets to the area of the forests, and deeper waters may hold even more frightening enemies, even monsters. More rare fish and other creatures live around these areas, as well. Careful where you fish. For those that can get around, there are a few islands here and there, the most important of which is at the location of the Sakura tree, of course. These hold some large containers for drinkable water, some are full and others empty but refillable.

There's a catch, though. Water dragons will be appearing near the island that usually holds the pure water reservoir, guarding it. Anyone that approaches will find that these dragons telepathically make requests of visitors in exchange for the water. Things like fishing for a rare type of fish, bringing them a specific fruit from the trees in the forests, looking for an item that's lying underwater, maybe seeing a specific type of magic/skill or hearing a story. They can be pretty creative, so it's best to be ready for anything – that is, if you're not too intimidated to approach at all.]

[[Our flood event starts! Go here for any questions.]]

Goku, is it?

[His gaze lingers on Goku's headband. Look, Sebastian knows his Chinese literature and art history.]

Your pardon, but would that be Son Goku, then?

Uh... [Shifts a little uncomfortably when Sebastian doesn't... seem to be making eye contact particularly... Maybe he's imagining it, or maybe he can sense that he's wearing a limiter.]

Yeah, that's me. [There are plenty of reasons for someone to have heard his name before and Goku's not crazy about most of them.] I'm Son Goku.

[Eye contact is for normal people. Sebastian smiles again, goes back to making normal eye contact and apparently doesn't plan on explaining what that was about:]

Ahh, how good to know. [Sebastian can trust that vague feeling he's getting from Goku, in other words? Another demonic creature? How delightful. It's just what this world needs - more demons.]

I suppose that should be Mr Goku all the same, however? [Since he didn't include the Son in his introduction.]

[Oh, okay, clearly he was just imagining that then. Sebastian wasn't eying his limiter and thinking about what it signified at all. He's so nice and friendly, after all.

(This is the kind of thing that gets him nearly killed by old men living in the wilderness sometimes but it's fine. It's probably fine.)]


Just Goku's fine!

[Goku, you precious innocent waste-of-space demon scum.]

Very good, then. They say it is a sage viewpoint, not to wish to stand on ceremony.

[Yes, Sebastian, you've read Journey to the West. You know about Sun Wukong's pretentious title. Everyone's very impressed by how well-read and subtle you are.]

[If you want your puns to be appreciated, Sebastian, you're going to have to be a little less subtle about them. That one flies straight over Goku's head.]

Yeah! I never got that stuff.

[Luckily for himself, Sebastian is the kind of person that laughs at his own jokes. He'll be okay.]

While I do not exactly see the deeper point of it myself, all human societies place such immense importance on it. [So it fills some function, evidently.]

You think it's a human thing?

[Sebastian phrasing it that way is pretty much an immediate giveaway that he's not human- which is only a little bit of a surprise. Goku can't spot any limiters, but this guy does feel really weird.]

I dunno, I've met plenty of humans who were really nice... But I guess most of the people I've met who cared about that stuff were human too.

[It's funny how Sebastian's "limiter" simultaneously works as an amplifier of sorts.

Also, some day Sebastian will learn that outside of his canon, people react when he talks about humanity like he's not included in it. Some day.]


Yes, but is formality linked to "niceness", necessarily? I would sooner think it provides a sense of security for those engaging in it.

Uh, I dunno... I wasn't really thinking about people who just talk good and stuff.

[The fancier Sebastian speaks, the more of this he's going to get in return, sorry. But Goku's thinking about people like Hakkai now, who speak politely and are also very kind. But then on the other side you've got people like Gojyo who is also kind but is barely any better than Goku.]

But there's people who talk nice and people who care about talkin' nice and that's different I think.

[People who kick up a fuss about titles and being called "Mr", basically.]

[Sebastian's giving Goku a bit of a wondering look again - although this time he doesn't seem to focus on the limiter, at least.

Oh. It's difficult for Goku to understand what he's saying? Good job, Sebastian, that only took you ten minutes to figure out. Well... he'll have to simplify his speech some, then. Easy. It's hardly like this way of speaking has stuck after four measly years, after all.

Hmm.]


The thought behind the action, rather than the action itself, speaks the most of a person's character, you mean?

[It's not that he doesn't understand- he does! He just won't respond with the same sort of tone and it takes him a second. And he kind of feels like he's being quizzed.]

Actions matter too. [Like, in general.] But kind people are kind no matter how they talk. And jerks are jerks no matter how they talk too.

[Regardless of Goku's feelings on this conversation, Sebastian simply considers his reply for a moment (considers it seriously, even, it appears), before giving a light laugh. Heh.]

Not a very human viewpoint, in the end. [They're all surface half the time.]

... I don't think that matters.

Humans and demons... We're really not any different.

[...That sounds fake.

Sebastian looks at Goku for one long moment, somewhere between surprised and politely questioning. And then he tilts his head to the side and smile.]


No?

Humans, demons and... Anything else. It doesn't matter at all.

[Sorry, Sebastian, this demon monkey is a Protagonist. We'd all be friends if we just tried to get along (and beat up the jerks).]

That's what I believe anyway.

[Hey, Sebastian's a protagonist too. A villain protagonist, but details details...]

'Not at all', huh. What an interesting [strange] opinion.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]equaltoheaven
2016-10-31 08:04 pm UTC (link)
Not really. I know other people that think like that too.

[Mostly his own little foster family but... still...]

I don't really know what ya are, but do ya really think you're that different than me or anyone else?

You are a demon, is that correct? [At least if going by Journey of the West... But then, humans write so many silly things about the supernatural.]

I do not know in which ways the two of us might be alike. But humans are humans, are they not? Their entire existence is so marked by that very fact.

[They're so special in all their humanity, is what he means.]

[Ah, he's been caught... But Sebastian doesn't seem to care so it's probably fine.] Yeah, guess so.

[Almost literally guessing because who the fuck knows what a heretic is. This is why he holds no faith in the lines between species.]

Nah, that stuff doesn't matter.

[Simple...]

[So simple. Had it come from a human child, it'd almost be endearing in its simplicity. He gives a short laugh.]

Ahh, then I believe I have a better idea of how we might differ. [But fine, you think as you like. Sebastian will just think it silly.]

["Simple" is Goku in a nutshell, so... There's a reason everyone apparently thought he was a kid.

Anyway, he's also getting the idea that Sebastian is kind of a dick.]
... Yeah, me too.
