Who: Mizuki & you!
What: Mizuki's here to talk to people now.
When: Couple days after the meeting.
Where: Inn or Therapy Building.
Warnings: Will be in the titles as they come up.
[ Mizuki hasn't really shown himself around the Grove since being outed by Irene. Add and Elsword got to see him, and Vash got to see him the one time, too, but overall? He just kept to his camouflage and sauntered around the place in secret.
Now he thinks he's finally ready for people to come talk to him. He gets the feeling that no one beyond Irene (and Lancer, though he hasn't realized this, yet) is actually mad at him, but he knows there's bound to be a lot of questions. Questions he's not really ready to answer.
Doctor Kal'tsit is going to be so disappointed in him.
You'll visibly find him in one of two places. One, the lobby of the inn, of which he'll be in the chair on the opposite end of the lobby of the Inquisition fireplace. He just stares at it, even as people enter and exit, lost in thought. Two, he'll be at the therapy building. Either just outside, putting cute stickers on the door outside, or in the lobby, playing Frogger.
He doesn't make the effort to actually talk to anyone, but he won't immediately bail if you walk up to him, either. ]

his neutral, maybe even slightly relaxed mood drops when he approaches the mansion, though. he's on the lookout for rusty, of course, but it's really the sound coming from inside that still wears on him. he acknowledges mizuki with a short wave, even as his gaze is trained on the building.]
Hey, Mizuki. How've you been holdin' up?
comes in a day late with starbucks
When he looks at the manor, he still feels a lot of guilt. He broke in there almost a year ago now, and ever since then, the mansion has been tossing people out. Elsword shouldn't even go in as he is now, corrupted and such, but he still feels a sense of urgency to help.]
Hey. Sorry I'm late. [a whole thirty seconds late, but yeah.]
I see your day and raise you a month-
[ He lifts two notebooks that he got from the Trader and holds them out to his friends. ] I'm not sure what the best method to do that. I feel like if it's outside the house, they might not notice, so I think the best way might be to throw it through the windows… Do you guys think that's possible?
no subject
really cannot stress enough that they would have to sit on each others' shoulders to be as big as him.]
... I just need a big rock. And something to tie the notebooks to it.
no subject
There are lots of big rocks laying around. I can get a sturdy rope from Mister Heimr, if you want me to.
[....actually yeah he's going to go do that right now, unless either of the two grab him like no elsword—]
no subject
My worry there would be that they wouldn't see the book, but rather just… the rock, and the rope…
That said, I do have cling wrap if we wanna try that. [ "Why?" He's a chef, he always has cling wrap on him— ]
no subject
Alright. We can try. [he's worried they might not be heavy enough, but if ydalir can just give them more netbooks, there's no harm in trying. or in throwing something less, uh... potentially deadly.]
no subject
[He's just making sure of the plan, here, but he won't wander to go get rope if that's what they're doing. He will, however, try to wander off to find rocks.]
no subject
I think it's worth it if we give it a try. And we can always ask for more books — Miss Ydalir doesn't seem to mind. [ He's just gonna go fishing out the cling wrap, savor of ever
cosplaymeal, ever. He'll wrap the book twice over first, and wait for Elsword to return with a big enough rock and wrap it around that, too.Congrats, Livio, you have the dumbest looking rock ever. Mizuki's just out here doing his best— ]
no subject
... livio calls out long before he actually throws the thing.] I'm going to throw something heavy inside! Get away from the window! [he's very careful to specify exactly which window -- middle one on the south side second floor, or whatever window it is to that effect.
he waits a good while before actually chucking it, in case they do need to move. god, he hopes they cleared the area.
sure enough, he throws it with frankly absurd precision -- right through the center of the specified window, with no more or less force than necessary.
... and now they wait?]
no subject
Inside, small hands pick up a book. Frustration flares, but while one child maintains the ritual above, they can at least investigate for a while. They need to get the other water, anyways. They pry the cover open. ... A... shared journal?
So they're all still trying.
It may take a long time for the others to notice, but in one of the early pages, there's a simple new addition- a very small, precise Why?
no subject
He does eventually pull out the extra notebook though, flipping through to see if he can see anything different. ] … Do you think… maybe they're just mad at us now…? [ Beat. ] …Oh, here. None of you wrote "Why?" here, right?
…I'm not sure what they'd mean by that, though.
no subject
[that or they're like hey why did you break our window]
no subject
[... but of course they're still trying. livio has heard them crying when he comes nearby ever since he arrived... not to mention whatever else elsword and mizuki have been through around them. they'll never stop. he knows he won't, and he's pretty damn sure he can say the same of these two.]
no subject
[ He jots this down in the book as he says it out loud under the "Why?": ] Seems… right to keep you in the loop! Even if you don't wish to speak with us, at least now you can if it feels right to.
no subject
[He's staring up at the house.]
They're doing a ritual in there. I don't know if they step away from it ever. Whatever magic they're using is enough to keep us out, though.
no subject
[he peers over at mizuki's notebook, seemingly unaware that that might be an invasion of space or rude or anything. it'll show the same as anyone's, right?]
no subject
you were all supposed to be free
we failed you so let us keep you safe
no subject
He writes back:]
Helping people is a two way street.
[GEE, IF ONLY YOU WERE CAPABLE OF FOLLOWING YOUR OWN ADVICE.]
