2nd Crystal

[Bodhum, the beginning of everything. This is where the destinies of the six l'Cie intertwined, where everyone watched the same fireworks, and watched the same sunset. Then ultimately, tried to get purged.

But that was all different here. In this little dreamscape, there was no purging, no fal'Cie, no l'Cie, nothing. It was a peaceful marina beach-scape where there was nothing but the beautiful sunset that Bodhum was famous for, the water, and little beach houses and restaurant shacks.

Tourists bustled around, chatting animatedly about the upcoming fireworks for the evening, what they've done that day, or buying souvenirs.

But Vanille herself sat there, watching the sunset on the horizon of the ocean on a pier. This was the area where she met Serah.

What sort of company would grace her this time around?]

[Vanille is not the only one seeking a quiet retreat to enjoy the ocean and sunset from. Mercury stands just behind and to the side of where Vanille sits, but the senshi remains standing, watching the wavelets roll towards the shore impassively. She has a lot to sort through in her mind these days.

When she makes her presence known, it's in a low voice suitable for the scene.]


Aren't you back with the rest of them?

[A nod back towards the general direction of the bustle.]

Isn't it unusual to be here alone in the middle of a festival?

[The festival was her own assumption, from the overheard snatches of comments about the fireworks.]

[Vanille, you have just crossed a line into 'too cheerful'. There's a quick look of open surprise at the sudden gesture. It fades to a frown, but a quiet one rather than severe.]

It reflects brightly in the water.

[This is Mercury's attempt at agreeable conversation.]

it's like love at first tag. i heart vanille and this thread. <3

[She has disturbing images of being pulled along - sometimes literally, joined at the hands - by Usagi. It makes Mercury shocked, emotional, irritated, and thirsty all at once, for more of that simple gentle cheerfulness.

She finds her hands in Vanille's this time, and she has to choke down something that might be a smile. She doesn't pull them away right away, though she will soon; she's never been comfortable with friendly physical gestures.]

/ALL THE LOVE

But no matter how beautiful those lights may look, they aren't real. There's no way to reach them.

[Cheerful, Mercury is not.]

Remember that, too.

Second "daaaaaate"?!

[ And nooooow he was on a beach. Naruto looked around suddenly. he was in his normal attire, however, he was really hot now. He started walking--it seemed like the normal thing to do. Again, the fact this was a dream escaped the blond. ]

[ But it wouldn't for long. ]


This place looks awesome for taking a dip dattebayo!

orz ... yeah totally.

[identity profile] shallendurehate.livejournal.com 2011-05-24 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
Hm? [ he looks over, hearing the voice. who the hell was that? ]

[identity profile] shallendurehate.livejournal.com 2011-05-24 06:25 am (UTC)(link)
[ something else was jingling too-- ]

[ Naruto blinked a few times. He recognized her... for some reasons she was so. freakin'. familiar-- ]


Vanille! [ Naruto suddenly called out, and everything from last time snapped back to him. the mountains, the girl, the race, the crash--was he...? was he dreaming again? ] Vanille! [ he waved back wildly, hurrying on over towards her with a wide grin. ]

[identity profile] shallendurehate.livejournal.com 2011-05-24 06:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ the blond was grinning as he mt up with her. ]

Vanille! [ he was sweating a little--well, look at what he was wearing on the beach front. ] ...Wow! I must be dreaming! [ he paused, then busted out laughing ] Hahaha! You know what I meant!

dormition: (we'll meet again when you awake)

I think I ship Naruto/Vanille. thanks you guys xD

[Minato walks up the pier towards her, unable to stop himself from thinking of how he met Aigis. He assumes that Vanille won't turn out to be a robot designed to protect him, of course...

Hands in pockets, his habitual pose, he stands beside her seated form and leans forward to glance down at her. He doesn't say a word, but slowly the position starts to get comical as he leans farther and farther forward, strangely not overbalancing off the edge of the pier.]
dormition: (I see my fate inside the moon)

you've gained a stalker LOL

[personal profile] dormition 2011-05-25 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
[SPLASH. Minato's skilled, but he's not superhuman: he falls into the water, in short order resurfacing and taking deep breaths. Thankfully he'd reacted quickly enough that he'd inhaled before going under, and didn't get water up his nose or down his throat.

A moment later, he's more or less recovered, arms out in the water to balance as he floats and bobs gently in the current. He stares at her again -- this time up at her.]
... Hi.
dormition: (no one speaks)

[personal profile] dormition 2011-05-25 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
My fault, [he apologizes easily, taking her hand and clambering up onto the wood again. He remains arms' length away from her, so as not to get her wet. Minato takes only a second to mourn his sopping wet uniform, and then is unraveling his mp3 player from around his neck and slipping it in his jacket pocket, the side where his Evoker - what looks like a handgun - is hanging from his belt, hidden under the jacket.

He exerts a tiny bit of his control over dreams to dry them both off and leave them undamaged by the water. Hidden as they are, it's virtually undetectable; and in truth Minato can't do much more than that, anyway. This is Vanille's dream, and an elaborate, well-detailed one. It's hard to combat someone's hold on their own sub-conscious.

Drying his beloved mp3 player and Evoker, though, that he can manage. He faces her more normally this time and decides names are in order.]
I'm Minato.
dormition: (My seat is next to you)

[personal profile] dormition 2011-05-25 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
Nice to meet you, too, [he politely answers, following along after her obediently.]

What kind of place is this?
