--wah!

[The yell is accompanied by an all too familiar BZZZZZT of the communicator as the device drops to the ground, giving a nice view of Japan shaking his hands off with a startled expression. He seems to be out near the lake, dressed in completely normal winter clothing aside from Turkey's Ottoman Empire hat thing balancing awkwardly on his head. He fixes it so it's less over his eyes and kneels down to the communicator with a frown.]

Ah, my apologies... I had intended to speak once I arrived at a nice destination, but it seems such devices are not so patient. [Irritation is there, underneath his polite way of speaking... But he eventually sighs, wrapping his scarf a bit more closely around his neck as he continues to walk, looking to the communicator.]

As some may know, I am the creator of the map program that many should have seen by now. That being said... I am interested in programming other things, though I cannot say I am sure where to begin. Is there anything useful that is needed? Or perhaps it is fine to do games... Ah, if such a thing interests you, please be sure to fill out the form at the end of this post. I will put it up shortly.

[He raises a hand up to fix that hat again, finally seating himself on the ground near the lake.] Though on one more note... Has everyone viewed memories that are not their own by this point? ...I am simply curious. [The video shuts off there, and as promised, it's just a few seconds later before the text is added.]

Please fill out this form if you are interested in asking me to program something.



Thank you. 人(--*)


[Feel free to run into Japan around Discedo too if you'd like! I'd be fine with him seeing any and all memories from you guys so go for it, and just ask if you want to see anything of Japan's.]

I wouldn't say it's too personal then. Since it's well... related?

Err rather... it is, but there's nothing you can do about it so... there's no need to worry about it extra.
fierybluebird: (Flomp!)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2012-02-08 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
Wish I could do more. [Flomps on in birdie form. Because this is obviously a solution.]
fierybluebird: (looking away purple)

[Reluctantly hops off and switches back. To do: make Japan learn more phoenix.]

Aye, let me just put it all away, okay? You want tea?
fierybluebird: (distant skies)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2012-02-08 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
As you wish.

[And he will just... finish all that up and then join Japan in the other room quietly. He's also thoughtful. Too thoughtful.]
fierybluebird: (can you believe this guy?)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2012-02-08 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Nods.]

Right here, this moment I am. [Presses a hand to his temple.] Remember when I said being old was like feeling the weight of thousands of years, but being young was like looking forward to a future of thousands of years of possibilities? And that I get both?

I think that's a lie. Perhaps lately I have neither.

[He fidgets. He needs to be doing something with his hands otherwise, this is just not a conversation he will have. Period. Because he'll run away into bird form the minute he can, and he knows it. So he takes out his comm to work on Japan's present while they talk; though he's very much here for the conversation even mentally.]
fierybluebird: (distant skies)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2012-02-08 06:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[Of course his first inclination is to lie and say it's nothing.]

Well. Certain chunks at least. Beyond home I have you to look forward to. [Which he's said a lot, and he hasn't forgotten.] And before Teach I have a lot of memories of my Pops.

It's everything in between that's the problem.
fierybluebird: (darkness takes me whole)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2012-02-08 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's a dark unreadable expression of stoicism, and the drawing stops. His fingers twitch momentarily, blue flames dancing over the edges as he has to resist the urge to switch back into a bird.]

It's like there are black holes swallowing up the good things. Past and future. I shouldn't let him get so into my head, but he's already there. And if I don't even search through the memories... I'll never know how to beat him.
fierybluebird: (eyes wide shut)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2012-02-08 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Is that what it is? The feeling that seizes him? Yes, that's the mildest way to put it.]

I... yes... but...

The memories. I just realized how few I have that don't feel tainted. Not just because all things end, but because even the good things, so much of it feels like a lie now. And the future... [That terrifies him the most. Will he even survive? How many of his nakama will?]
fierybluebird: (getting serious now)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2012-02-08 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[Nods slowly. He thinks it is. Although he's not certain. It's obviously not a feeling he's had before or with regards to anyone else.]

Sharing laughs with my family ... that's all I ever wanted. Good times and bad. And he was with us through all of it. There was a time, here in Discedo, where every time I turned around it was like he was here, laughing with us and acting like everything was fine. Like he'd never killed Pops or Thatch and just... was here like me and Ace.

Looking back at my real memories... he fought with us to protect Fishman Island. And now I can't protect it because of him. Foodvalten? It was in turmoil already the day I came here, I don't even know who it'll fall to. And most of the islands... he knows them as well as I do. How am I supposed to keep them, and protect my family, or stop him at all? [Rests a hand at his temples, and he's getting angry, the voice growling.] Every damn island. All the places I called home, it's like every memory I have of them, he's lurking in the corners, smiling with the rest of us and always, always plotting.
fierybluebird: (thinking)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2012-02-08 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
How can I? To others they might seem happy, but for me...

Wait. When did you first admire me? [Distraction is always better.]
fierybluebird: (soft glance)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2012-02-08 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[Frowns.] I did. I thought he was nakama.
fierybluebird: (distant skies)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2012-02-08 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I know... Like I said... he's in my head but...

[Tugs Japan close so he can hug him protectively and rest his head in black hair.] I guess I can start with treasuring everything else about the memories until it stops... bothering me. [He can't say "hurt" but it's obviously what he meant. He tilts his head questioningly though, as if asking Japan if such a thing would even work or whether it makes sense.]
