Welcome to Zawame City [open to anyone]

A Shadow Line train is now arriving. Please stay behind the black line if you value your life...

My only escape these days is promising Mork that I'm seeking Darkness on my own terms. It's all she ever wanted, and so she chooses not to disbelieve me. That allows me freedom to take my Kurainer out. The idea is that I will find a city with suitable Darkness, that I can then swallow and create a new Shadow Town, and so on.

That isn't my real aim, though. Further even than seeking freedom, I'm seeking the source of Light. Not one Light in particular, but Light in general, the quality that makes things sparkle.

The easiest way is to let the Kurainer take me where it doesn't want to go. Which is how I find myself here.

Now arriving in Zawame City... Zawame City...

There is light here. Protection. Someone loves this city very much- it glows with a warmth that is familiar somehow, though I can't identify it yet.

Mork would be pleased, in her way. The brighter the Light, the deeper the Shadows.

I send the Kurainer away, and head off into the city to explore.

I wish he could stay out in the sun more. He obviously prefers it, even though it hurts him. But maybe if he gets more practice, he'll find it easier.

"You don't want ice cream?!" I widen my eyes at him as we scurry along, horrified. "Who doesn't want ice cream? Are you sick?"

He pulls his arm away from me, but keeps walking with me. It's so nice walking with him when it's just us. When he's not being yelled at to attack us already.

I know he could attack anyway.

But he hasn't. He doesn't seem to want to. And I'm wondering now just how many times he only attacked because he felt... obligated. There was a little stray dog who hung around at school sometimes. If you scared it, it'd growl, sometimes snap at you. If it thought you were going to attack.

If you approached it gently and quietly, sometimes it'd let you stroke its ears. It even had a sleep in my lap one time at lunch. I don't think I've ever had a lunchbreak before when I haven't been up and running around. It was weird, but nice.

"You want to try?"

He's watching me again, but it's nice. It's not as - as it is sometimes, when the others are around, and pushing him, and pushing him. That feels more as if I'm a thing. This feels more as if I'm a person he likes.

I point over at the cart, with all the pictures of the different treats on the side. "Will it make you sick to eat? If not, you really should try!"
1gou: (awesome that's what I am)

[personal profile] 1gou 2015-02-01 09:49 am (UTC)(link)
I look at the bright sun on the ground between us and the cart, and look back at him. "You stay here. I'll get you something," I promise, then I shoot across the gap between to the cart.

(I'm sure he could manage. He doesn't look like he's going to pass out, and he's pretty strong. But it's not polite to call attention to other people's weaknesses, and I don't mind doing this for him!)
1gou: (staring at Zett)

I bounce over to the cart, order chocolate for me, and hmmm a bit over what to get for Zett. Something plain would be best, something that doesn't mess up his tastebuds or his stomach too much. But it should have some colour...

I settle on a cone with vanilla and rainbow sprinkles. It looks pretty and I hope it'll taste simple for him. This guy here does GREAT vanilla so I hope he'll like it!

He feels cool even in the shade. Refreshing. It's strange; when we're fighting, the differences between us sometimes jar at me, sometimes shake me, make me hurt.

But when we're just talking... it's nice.

He gives it a lick. Just because I asked him to. I beam at him, and take a huge slurp of mine. "It's sweet, huh! I love sweet food. I love savoury food, too!"
1gou: (Akira is 6gou)

[personal profile] 1gou 2015-02-02 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
He takes another lick. He looks sort of bemused by it, but he's persevering, and that's really sweet of him.

I nod enthusiastically. "I don't - don't understand the sparkle, Zett, but the wonderful thing about ice cream and other food is that it IS so mundane. It's a little treat! Something special in your day! And you have to enjoy it, because it's not necessary, you don't have to eat exactly that at exactly that time, so why not get the most enjoyment you can out of it? It's fun to have little things to look forward to, little enjoyments!"

[personal profile] 1gou 2015-02-02 07:22 am (UTC)(link)
He's obviously not allergic to eating exactly. So that's good. I haven't killed him.

He even takes a BITE of it and doesn't wince, so his teeth can't be too sensitive!

I take a deep breath, and nod at him, grabbing his wrist to draw him to sit with me on a little bench. "Will you tell me about it? All of it? I want to understand."

I keep eating while I wait for him to get his thoughts together. I get the feeling sometimes like they didn't really have speech before, or something. There are some concepts that are really hard to talk about, and he seems like he can't quite find the right words.

"So it was like when we spend a lot of time in a dark room. Anything light seems really bright?" I ask softly.
1gou: (with Kouta)

He speaks, licks ice cream off his hand. It's a thoughtful action, and it makes me think again about how he doesn't know how to play. He keeps reaching for it, for fun, for love, along with his kirakira, but he doesn't get it.

I nod fervently, pointing at him, with my mouth full. I swallow hastily. "No, noooo, I get it! I do! You need friends!"
1gou: (Default)

[personal profile] 1gou 2015-02-03 01:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I lean over and swipe my tongue across his ice cream, and nod in appreciation. I wave mine at him too. Fair's fair, after all.

"Ah, but you need friends, yeah?" I nod at him. "They want to help you, but they really don't get it, so what you really need is friends who DO get it. Who make you feel relaxed just by being around them. Who want to play."

I peer at him, anxious and gentle. "Friends can be really nice to have."

[personal profile] 1gou 2015-02-04 08:52 am (UTC)(link)
He takes a taste of mine, and says he likes it. I can't help but beam at him.

"Oh! Oh, that's what you meant. Okay, thanks!"

I take his, and start alternating licks. He's thinking, and I give him the space to do it. I'm peaceful enough eating! This is really nice sitting here with him.

(Almost like we can just be friends, and that's all.)

"It shouldn't be," I say softly, but with a flash of the anger I feel on his behalf.
