No burning bridges. If anyone's burning bridges around here, it's me, you. [She smirked.] I don't know. I guess maybe I'm liking the normalcy here, so maybe just have a normal life? I haven't had that in a long time.
no subject
(Ren makes the decision to not dodge it, even though he easily could. It was only a flick and he wanted to show her some form of friendship? Anyhow.)
As much of one as we can have, I suppose.
(Not so normal without organizations, schools, money, concepts that just lack in the void for now due to the whole society building.)
Would you leave the bridge?
no subject
Haven't decided that yet. The bridge is a kind of comfort. I'm making a decent place to live, promise. But me in the apartment complex worries me. I'll start getting jealous.
And I'm not sure I get to be that normal, not yet anyway.
no subject
(If he can. Maybe making her apartment feel like home would be a step...?)
no subject
It just doesn't rain in hell, so who cares if I live under the bridge, right?
[Sorry, she's such a bum.]
no subject
(It's fine, Parsee. Ren lives in a doorless attic, sleeps on a mattress atop milk crates and there's chatter that leaks from the cafe. He gets it trying to make a new place be home and not knowing how.
At least he found his way - he keeps his door open when he's at his apartment, so surely she would have noticed how much effort he put on his own - many plants and flowers decorate it!)
no subject
[She wasn't hiding away, that much at least she wanted to be clear. It would be futile with people like Ren around, so she was accepting that she was apparently part of these people's lives for good or ill.]
Just avoids risking things getting nasty. If my powers come back properly you wouldn't want me in the apartment. Hah, that could get ugly fast.
no subject
(Half of it is concern, surely, but the other half is preparing for what is to come, possibily.)
no subject
Or more likely something bad would happen. Bad things happen when I live too close to too many people. Measured doses.
no subject
(There's no way he's just letting this happen to Parsee or the world around them. So, with that resolve, he asks:)
Can you turn them off somehow?
no subject
Uhhh... well, first of all I don't have the range to hit the whole island unless I'm getting one hell of a boost. So, me having my own place will help. I might get a sign, put it on the shrine to warn people if I know they're back. To keep distance at first.
Ok, so that's a start. [Ahem] Marisa wrote up a thing on a bunch of youkai once. I snuck a peek when nobody was looking. People who are better at focusing, controlling themselves and who are strong willed are better off. Alcohol helps. Meditation helps. Watch for floating, glowing green lights. If I'm doing it actively, you'll probably see that or cherry blossoms and ashes floating where they shouldn't.
I can turn off all but the most passive stuff if you're close to me, but ... let's just say? I'm jealous of you right now, but it sort of feeds off itself with the powers, so it's harder the more I get pissed off.
no subject
(Considering he's focused, absurdly strong-willed and meditates ever so often. He listens, though, before coming to a conclusion and pointing at her.)
Maybe we should find a way to calm you down.
no subject
[She bit her lip a little and shrugged. How did she put it? She felt jealous sometimes when she saw him talking to other people. There was a possibility that could go really badly one of these days.]
The tea idea wasn't a terrible one. It's something to focus on. I've been sort of obsessing over the water clock to keep my mind busy. Arguing with the world's weirdly soothing.
no subject
Would that be enough if you have a breakdown?
no subject
I mean, I could be worrying too much. This has been good so far, right? [The look on her face said everything. She did NOT believe that.]
no subject
(Ren gave her a smile, it's genuine and bright. She has been doing good, he thinks. There's nothing he'd like to see change in, some things are just of her nature, but alas, it wasn't as bad as she wanted to put it as.)
You're doing very well.
no subject
You really think so do you?
no subject
(He just gestured with his hand, as to highlight his words.)
It's fine to be a little weird. We all are.
no subject
no subject
Izuku-kun?
no subject
Izuku I have an even harder time believing he'd lie. He'd be terrible at it.
no subject
(He hasn't seen Deku lie, so there's not much he can say about that!)
no subject
I know I can trust that you believe what you say. Not necessarily that you're right, but you aren't lying to me. It's... refreshing. [And annoying at times]
no subject
(Actually, he's curious. He's not being terribly upfront, but she knows this already.
Lying, on the other hand...)
no subject
So you wouldn't.
So, you should be asking "Why would someone lie to me?" And there's a lot of answers to that.
