[ thank you robin, for teaching souji how to use filters. now he can abuse the shit out of it ]

[ basically, he's doing this ]

public;

[ a lot of shit in kiseki has made souji think long and hard about his life choices, but the best thing to do when trying to confront certain painful truths and startling conversations with other people is ignore your own problems

and focus on someone else's ]

So. [ he's outside of hanahito, looking thoughtful ] What should you do if your girlfriend's upset at you?

[ 1. souji doesn't have a girlfriend

2. the 'girlfriend' in question knows this and would be annoyed

3. spoilers it's yuuki ]

[With the last shreds of cake dissolving and leaving the usual sakura tree back in place, things seem to slowly be going back to normal again. Or as normal as it can be in Miracle Country, anyway. The monsters are finally gone, allowing those who are still searching for their lost things to get them back in peace.

While the decorations, confetti and such are gone, there might be something else people will notice. Hair, lots of thin white strands of fur falling from seeming everywhere... Aang is flying around on Appa, who seems to be in need of a good brushing. So when he notices Appa is shedding all over the place, he'll take a detour towards one end of the park so he can take care of his bison properly.]

[[ooc: open mingle! if you want aang, comment to his tag here, otherwise abuse the post as you'd like.]]

[Is that on your journals Miko all gagged and tied to a tree? Yes, that's Miko all gagged and tied to a tree.

Now, the question is why. Simple: after finding out what King had been doing, she found a way to sneak past her army of guardians and uncles and go yell at him. Or challenge him to a duel. Or both.

The point is that this is how it all ended. She isn't hurt, in case you're wondering, but for her to tell you all of that, she needs to be freed.

Help, Kiseki?]

[After Minityra took his Gaburevolver from him, King was stripped from his status as a Kyoryuuger, which led him to throw a big tantrum and say a lot of hurtful things.

But in the end, who cares? Certainly not him. Nu-huh. Who needs a Tyrannosaurus Rex who is easily towered by a toy poodle? Specially when you can have a dragon, really. Dragons fit with their aesthetic and include a flamethrower. Good.

King sneaked from the Spirit Base before dawn and then sneaked into the zoo. He's on the dragon exhibit, in front of the cage of a mean-looking and red one that caught his eye, ready to jump over or under whatever fence. And this is where the video starts.]

Huh. That'll do.

[He then starts looking for a way to go in, all ready to punch it.]

[Today seemed as though it would be another quiet day in Miracle Country. Mild weather, a peaceful atmosphere, people probably had no idea anything would soon be wrong when they set off to work, school, or a day of goofing around.

Soon it'll be clear it won't be that simple. Creeping out from the forests and from within the lake or ocean, some creatures will set out to attack others. Becoming impossible to stop at the exact moment of this attack, these monsters will set out to steal something important to people: an ability they have, or an important personality trait, which will now take the form of a tangible, brightly glowing light.

The monsters don't seem to want them for themselves, however. They'll either sneak away quickly, and end up hiding what they took in some difficult place, or they'll challenge the owner - or anyone else who'd like to step up and fight - to a battle for the stolen traits or abilities.

If the creatures get away from you, either because they've gone off to hide your skill/trait or because the battle was lost somehow, the owner of what was lost will always be able to find their skill or trait eventually, as their presence will call back to them. Similarly, if they find someone else's lost skill or trait, they'll be able to know it's not their own. Perhaps they'll want to give it back, too, or maybe even keep it for themselves for a while? While they cannot absorb the abilities or traits themselves, it could be a good way to manipulate others or get a favor from them...]

[[Mingle for the lost traits event! Keep in mind the timing, since any new post opened until the 21st will be happening within the context of this event.]]

[Early this morning, before the sun has even risen, Nossan and Stegotchi can be seen setting up a series of objects in the park. And at 8:00am, Nossan opens a video to announce it to Kiseki. He's wearing a white bandana that keeps his ridiculous, apparently damp curls out of his face; a blue t-shirt with his logo on the front, blue shorts with black and yellow stripes, and his regular shoes. He gives a big bow, and smiles cheerily]

Good morning everyone! It's the second Monday of October, so that means it's Health and Sports Day!

[He sweeps an arm back and shows off what he's created: a small open sports area! He's built an elaborate obstacle course, including a tire-jumping section, monkey bars over a crude mud pit, tunnels, and everything else besides; he's set up gym mats, weighted gym balls and a wide range of dumbells; a small table, currently being lounged on by Stegotchi, has a pair of gigantic coolers, full of fruit and bottles of water, and a large, bulging sack; and everything is enclosed in an 8-lane chalk race track, with a number of sacks and lengths of rope next to the starting line. Everything looks very well-made, albeit made of spare parts and recycled material]

[He grins broadly] I've been helping set this event up back home for years now, and my niece Rika loved it to bits! But since I can't be there now, I decided to bring Sports day here! Stegotchi and I set up lots of things, so everyone can come along and join in some fun events. You're all completely welcome, so let's get together and have a good time! It'll be su-port fun! [big ol' thumbs up!, on which the video ends]

_{[[Take this as a big mingle journal as well :D ]]}
