Waystation Mingle Log!

Who: GAME-WIDE MINGLE aka everyone
Broadcast: If you want
Action: The Stations!
When: From 04/05 through the month of April.

[Well, that all sure happened. But at least you have the waystations! Whether you want to stock up on supplies, work, trade, or visit the very fancy Virtual Reality Dome, it's bound to be a nice break from the attacks of the 5th.

Make your own prompts, set up your own Virtual Realities, etc! For reference, the OOC post with info is over here!]

I... [ Although her voice seems a bit shaky, uncertain. ] I forgive you.

[ Her expression softens somewhat. He does seem a little less scarier as he explains himself. A little. The voice and glowy eyes in the shadows are still scary, but it sounds like he does good things.

It's not like he tried to harm her or anything. ]

You look a lot different from the knights I know about.

[he glances up again... he's got a darth of facial expressions to match his weird way of talking, but something about his face seems more relaxed.]

What do they look like...

They wear armor from head to toe.

[ The only knights she's familiar with are the soldiers under King Nachtigal's command. And her experience with them wasn't a very good one, now that she thinks about it. She clenches her hands into little fists to her side. ]

...They weren't very good knights.

[he nods, glancing at her fists.]

Anyone can wear armor, call themselves a knight. Not everyone acts like it.

You... seem like a good knight.

[ Even if she still thinks he looks scary in appearance. She'd rather not bring it up again, because that would be rude. Folding her arms, she makes an attempt at looking like a reprimanding grownup. Of course, she still looks like a harmless child... ]

But the next time you want to talk to someone, don't stare at them! It's creepy!

[...well, he bows his head again. looks to the side. does a good job of at least appearing somewhat apologetic about it.]

I'll try.

[ Oh. Seeing that, she kind of feels less afraid. She keeps her arms folded. ]

Umm... next time, try saying "hello" to me. 'Kay?

[nodding a little.] Okay.

[that is a thing that people do, isn't it? hm.]

May I-- [ah, how does he phrase this.] --Keep an eye on you. I won't bother you.

Huh? Umm... if you want?

[ Elize drops her arms back to her sides, swaying them again. Most people take it upon themselves to look out for her without asking.

She should be capable of taking care of herself, but she doesn't think she can use her spells anymore. She hasn't tried casting anything since losing Teepo. It makes her feel like a burden to others... ]

I'm sorry...

[at that, Zhas only tilts his head.]

Why.

[ She fidgets slightly, her eyes downcast. ]

That I... need you to keep an eye on me. I'm sorry for the trouble.

[he doesn't seem remotely bothered by this. he shifts a little.]

How old are you.

[ She looks up again, tilting her head. ]

Twelve. Why?

Hm.

[he took up the mantle of a vampire hunter when he was twelve. but he also had an unusual childhood.]

You seem pretty smart for a twelve-year-old.

Umm...

[ That gets a small blush out of her. Always easily flustered, Elize. She's a master of spirit artes at her age and Rowen praises her for her incredible memory at remembering information. But she's modest about it... ]

There's a lot that I still need to learn.

That's fine. You have time.

[he clears his throat a little--this is more than he usually talks to anyone, and it feels like it's starting to strain at his throat. maybe he should... stop. she probably doesn't want to be talking to him anyway.]

I'll be around for a while. Don't worry about it.

[ ...Well, guess what! ]

You can talk to me if you want. It doesn't bother me. [ Initially, it did when he first approached her, but not so much anymore. It feels less lonely. ]

[oh, look. he can emote. a little. his eyebrows go up a bit in what must be surprise.]

You're sure.

[...again, that was supposed to be a question.]

[ She doesn't seem to realize it's a question, but she does sound sure. ]

It's weird if you just watch me.

[ What if people get the wrong idea? Like she did in the first place. ]

[...he has to think about it for a second, but he guesses that... makes sense. so he nods a little. his permanent frown seems to deepen.]

I'm... Not good with people.

I-I'll try to help you get better!

[ Just don't stare at people creepily. Granted, Elize is still learning how to be better with people herself, after having been alone for so long. She wants to be helpful and make more friends... ]

And... um, you haven't told me your name yet. [ Oh yeah, and before she forgets to exchange names. It'll be less weirder having him watch over her if they knew each other's names. ] My name's Elize.

[oh, that's... very sweet of her. he thinks that Nunnally would like her, suddenly.]

...That's a good name.

[he likes the sound of it. he's partial to Zs.]

Mine is Zhas.

[ Zhas is the second person to compliment her name and she's back to blushing. She even manages to crack a small smile. ]

I-... uh. Thank you! [ An awkward pause, then she realizes she should probably get back to trying to shop. ]

I'm going to continue shopping. Were you getting something too, Zhas?

[oh, he nods. stands, too, gesturing back behind himself.]

It'll be ready in a minute.

I'll wait with you.

[ She's in no rush to get going anyway. Doesn't sound like it'll take too long to wait after all. ]

Then... we can go look at more shops together?
