curries: (Ready for an adventure?)
[personal profile] curries
[Another day, another island. Asbel tries to forget about how dull and predictable things have gotten lately and snatches at any chance for some real adventure. Sure, he's learned to be more careful, but that doesn't mean he's going to sit around on the Friend Ship like some wuss waiting for the adults to figure out exactly how safe this place is and what they should or shouldn't do. How's a person supposed to really get a feel for anything if they don't try it out on their own anyway?]

[The setting is park-like. Large trees spring up in zigzag lines on either side of a stone pathway and gardens full of flowers grow inside and outside of square fences. Looks like someone fired the gardener months ago and never found a new one. Even the path is broken in places where flowers, roots, and mosses have taken hold between the cracks. It's a little wild, a little too (weirdly) quiet. But, also kind of mysterious!]

[Spotting something familiar, Asbel dashes ahead a little ways, swinging his wooden sword at the lower branches of a tree until two or three round fruits fall to the ground with a satisfying thud, thud, thud. He squats down to pick them up and turns around with a big grin on his face.]


Check it out, Hubert! Apples!

[Asch has admittedly had more than an ample number of opportunities to "take a load off" and watch television, but he's never bothered, never deemed it interesting enough to take on as a hobby nor useful enough to aid him in his information gathering.]

[Now, he finds himself sitting cross-legged before a modest flat-screen television set, observing what his traveling companion has deemed a "good show". There's some adolescent female with fluffy magenta hair and large round eyes fleeing from a team of monsters. You'd think at this point some hero or other would swoop in to save her, but no. Instead the girl turns slowly, plants her feet wide and raises an arm dramatically into the air, shouting some nonsensical phrase that Asch doesn't quite manage to catch. Something about confections. Something about luck and warm feelings and change. Something that sounds suspiciously like "Merry! Love Magic Step-up~!! ♥"]

[From here the screen erupts with pink and violet sparkles. And while he can easily see - now - why Nozomi has bothered him to watch such a thing, it doesn't stop his brow from rising a few millimeters or his head from jerking back suddenly.]

[What the hell is this? She's not even wearing anything!]


...kh!

[And why, again, is he watching this?!]

[He had another daughter?

Just what kind of surprises were this place tossing at him this month? First, he finds out that he's married to Zatanna Zatara (of all people!) and now he's got a daughter who was away at summer camp or something? He'd seen the pictures in his phone - she was a pretty girl. Xion, right? He hoped he could pronounce her name correctly.

He'd asked the butler to make her favorite - not that he knew what it was - and he'd also requested for the other kids to play outside for a while, until Xion came back and she settled into her normal life.

It'd be awkward, pretending that he'd known her for her entire life, and that she was his biological daughter with Zee, but he was a master of deception. He could manage it until they found all the shard pieces and went home.

So as he watches her, he manages a smile despite his awkward manner.]
Hey. How was your trip home?

[It's cold.]

[It's cold and it's raining and the unforgiving landscape is occupied primarily by jagged cliffs and sharp rocks jutting out everywhere. A miserable place where there's nothing worth giving a second glance. Nothing, that is, except for the monsters. Large, horned creatures with glistening eyes and scaled bodies. The reason they deserve attention? Because they'll prey on anything. After all, what's a mineral buffet when there are a choice few warm-blooded delicacies standing right in front of them?]

[Exactly.]

[Asch's sword is already in hand, duct tape and all. He has no illusions that the blade will hold together for long in this environment against these beasts, but it might at least buy some time until he can find an opening to blast them with a fonic arte. Maybe their eyes are sensitive to bright colors.]


Don't get in my way.

[He doesn't take his eyes off of them, but there's a noticeable jerk of his head. That's your cue to either find cover or get ready. Those monsters look fast. And hungry.]
