Event Two.





Dust if you must, but bear this in mind,
Old age will come and it's not kind.
And when you go, as go you must,
You yourself will make more dust!




t hasn’t been long since you’ve arrived. The dust has settled, so to speak. And there is… a lot of dust. The town is in disrepair. Some efforts have gone into making it a bit better, but it’s going to be a lot of work, there’s no denying that. There are only a few livable buildings right now, and even those are prone to letting the rain in, or missing stairs to the clearly present second floor, floors crumbling or creaking.

So it is that after a week or so to get used to their new living quarters.... There’s finally activity on the forum. Activity that doesn’t come from any of the people living here.

There’s a stickied forum post, and in it, a single post, from a user FFFFFF:

All-endearing cleanliness,
Virtue next to godliness,
Easiest, cheapest, needfull’st duty,
To the body health and beauty;
Who that’s human would refuse it,
When a little water does it?

Requirements: Everyone

They only have a bit of time to try to figure out what, exactly, it wants from them -- and then things begin to happen.

Does my answer really matter?
messianic: (Yet my Disciples sleep;)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-04-02 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Minato blinks slowly at that.

And then--]


Of course it does.

Like you said... I shouldn't put words in your mouth. I want to know...from you.
worlds: (seriously what colour are his eyes)

[personal profile] worlds 2018-04-04 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
[..............]

Don't mess with me [or my friends] and I'll return the favour.

[That's his answer.]
messianic: (A dying animal;)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-04-04 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
[...Ah.]

That's what I thought... it seems to suit someone like you.

[So like--]

... So they were trying to harm you. That's what you mean. That's what happened.
worlds: ([casually ignores friend])

[personal profile] worlds 2018-04-08 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Is that a question or a statement?
messianic: (In vain we look; in vain uplift)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-04-09 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
[...]

I don't want to put words in your mouth.

[But... it sounds pretty certain that that's what happened.]
worlds: (definitely not sasuke uchiha)

[personal profile] worlds 2018-04-09 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't care what you think of me.

[In other news, Ouni is impossible to please.]
messianic: (With its own tints the sober grey.)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-04-09 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[He sure is.

Minato just kind of rolls with it.]


... But I want to know what you think of you.
worlds: (seriously what colour are his eyes)

[personal profile] worlds 2018-04-12 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
... Do you ever get tired of saying things like that?
messianic: (To perfect loss or perfect gain.)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-04-13 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
[...?]

No...? Why would I?
worlds: (le sigh)

[personal profile] worlds 2018-04-17 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Because it's tiring.
messianic: (of plaintive sweetness)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-04-18 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
[And a quiet shake of his head.]

... I don't think so. I don't really think it's ever that tiring to try to get to know someone.
worlds: (definitely not sasuke uchiha)

[personal profile] worlds 2018-04-20 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[That gets a bit of a mirthless smile out of him.]

Really? People are exhausting to understand.
messianic: (To perfect loss or perfect gain.)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-04-20 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Why do you think that...?

[He sounds sincerely curious, blinking slowly.

People are exhausting..?]
worlds: (why does no one question the fluffballs)

[personal profile] worlds 2018-04-21 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
... Because that's how it is. It's not something done easily.
messianic: (of plaintive sweetness)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-04-21 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
[... Hm. Well. That's fair. Minato himself is far too familiar with the difficulties he had in understanding people, before.]

It's not.

[...]

But... do you think it's worth it, even though it isn't easy?
worlds: ([casually ignores friend])

[personal profile] worlds 2018-04-21 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
[...

He looks away, saying nothing—but he seems... oddly embarrassed?





Namely because there's no way he's admitting out loud that the answer is yes.]
messianic: (Between the idea)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-04-21 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
[And quietly, Minato smiles softly, shaking his head. That's... a good sign. It's a sign that Ouni really does like people, or at least some people--

It's just that he's not always sure how to relate to them.

And that... that's understandable.]


... I was just wondering. But that's why... I think it's definitely worth it to get to know you, no matter how difficult you might make it.
worlds: (definitely not sasuke uchiha)

[personal profile] worlds 2018-04-22 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[...]

You should be careful with making statements like that. You don't want to gain a reputation of taking things back.
messianic: (are a-one in death:)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-04-22 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[That's easy.

Peacefully, quietly:]


I'm not worried about that at all. No matter what, I won't take that back.

I want to get to know you, Ouni-san. Nothing you say about yourself could change my mind on that.
worlds: (appropriate face to "you're satan")

[personal profile] worlds 2018-04-25 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
Would you say that to someone who killed your friends?
messianic: (When I'm 73)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-04-25 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
... You haven't killed my friends, Ouni-san.

[A beat, and he admits softly:]

But even if something that awful had happened... I would still want to know why.

[He'd still asked Takaya. They all had. Why he thought the way he did. Why he believed what he did. Even after Shinji--

That's just how he is.]
worlds: (why does no one question the fluffballs)

[personal profile] worlds 2018-04-25 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
... Naive. How would knowing why help?

[Knowing why his friends were killed certainly never made him feel better or hate their murderer any less.]
messianic: (Half bitterness we know)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-04-25 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know if it would help.

[Quite frankly! They would still be dead--Shinji was still dead--no matter what they learned. It was still horrible.

But even so...]


... It's just... me. I would want to know. That's how I feel.
worlds: (definitely not sasuke uchiha)

[personal profile] worlds 2018-04-27 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
And if the answer just makes it worse?
