[100] Worry wort

[jiyuna_togabito]

[Video:]

[The video feed turns on to reveal one annoyed sinner as he is tapping his index finger onto the kitchen counter. Oh, he's going to be addressing one person and one person only at first and you know who you are son.]

Have you even properly eaten today? You're becoming paler by the day. Quit fooling around on the net and come have your meal.

And that goes for you as well, citizens. Go out and do something like wreak havoc rather than staying indoors all day, playing with your device.

[ooc; Aion is horribly cursed with Parents day today~! XDD Come bug him if you'd like to be treated as his kid :l b]

I think, Mr. Aion, you're as cursed as myself.

[jiyuna_togabito]

[Bunk? Grill? Fo'? What was he talking about]

2/3

[jiyuna_togabito]

Hm?

3/3

[jiyuna_togabito]

I certainly know you are. I didn't understand a word. I feel no different today.

1/2

[worldofourown]

Brah, ya got beef with mah swagger, that ain't mah biznatch. Ya feel me?

2/2

[worldofourown]

...

You're not the only one who can't understand me.

[jiyuna_togabito]

What? How is that possible?

Either way, I've prepared your meal.

[worldofourown]

Pump yo' brakes, Homeslice. I don' need no eats. Blood's the shiznit, ya feel me?

...

A meal? What for? I don't need to eat.

[jiyuna_togabito]

[This curse is going to be the death of him.]

I've prepared your type of meal. [blood soup with tons of celery sticks in it and maybe some carrots and broccoli;;] My job is to keep watch of you after all.

[worldofourown]

[He's not sure whether to be touched, bewildered or suspicious. No one's ever really taken care of karl, after all.]

'Preciate it, dawg.

...

[Wince. Rub temples.]

You didn't need to trouble yourself. I'm a grown man, after all. I can feed myself. [Wary.] Unless Solomon ordered you to drug me in small doses?

[jiyuna_togabito]

I've yet to see it. You're practically skin and bones. [Says it with a straight face.]

He hasn't given me orders as such. He knows what little use that would do. At the very least, he seems to know how to take care of himself though he too likes to coop himself up at times.

[mumble mumble mumble]

[worldofourown]

Aw, shit naw, son! Don' make me jaw you!

[GRRRR.]

All the better for him, wouldn't you say? Considering he's all but imprisoned me since my arrival in the City.

[jiyuna_togabito]

[He raised a brow to that one. Ok, he knows what naw is now and he could only assume what jawing him out means, but son?]

Now, is that any way to speak of your dear brother?

[He grinned though he didn't mean it for it to come out in that context.]

[worldofourown]

Hecky, yeah. I'ma find that foo', an' I'ma murk his punk ass!

[Makes gang symbols and bobs his head with ardor. Realizes what he's doing and stops with a growl.]

Damned curse...

[jiyuna_togabito]

[Gives a disapproving look to that. Kids these days. He was about to comment to it before shaking his own head coming to the realization.]

Perhaps I am cursed as well. You were saying?

[worldofourown]

Doubtless.

...

About Solomon imprisoning me? Or the fact that someday soon, I'd like five minutes alone with my dear brother?

[jiyuna_togabito]

[Is that what that meant? huh.]

The latter.

[private]

Is five minutes all you need? [He grinned.]

Certainly you should spend more time. [He grumbles.]

Private

[worldofourown]

I'ma flex on that foo 'til his momma gon' cry. [Shut up, Karl. His mother is your mother.] Bust in his grill and make get me some bling wi' his teeths.

...

Interesting. I actually understood that.

More time, certainly. But there's little way that can be arranged. My brother's safe in his ivory tower, as always.

Private 1/2

[jiyuna_togabito]

[Don't take mom's lightly, Karl!]

Private 2/2

[jiyuna_togabito]

[He sighs, having a decent idea of what that meant.]

One can always be tempted to leave with the right bait. Perhaps it's time for a talk with your brother about his behavior towards you.

...Don't say anything. [ajd;ajf] You know what I meant.

[worldofourown]

Whatchoo gon' do, Homeslice?

[Curious Karl is curious.]

private

[jiyuna_togabito]

H-Homeslice? Speak properly! [cough]

Such as getting a hold of this precious Saya that you both seem to take interest in?

private

[worldofourown]

Fasheazy?

[Coughcough. How he loathes this curse.]

But how - and why - would you do that? Unless you've some personal incentive?

private

[jiyuna_togabito]

Of course. Simply put, for more arms to take control of this world and dethrone its ruler. Though more than one can benefit from such incentive, don't you agree?

private

[worldofourown]

Rulers? You mean the Deities?

...

You sound dreadfully like Mr. Valentine.

[Karl hadn't been terribly interested in the machinations of stealing power himself. Not like Amshel, Solomon or James. For them, it had been a way of life. But then, he supposed that was because he hadn't been made a Chevalier for the same reasons as they.]

private

[jiyuna_togabito]

[Of course, Luke and he had the same ideal. One reason why they worked so well together. Though he wasn't certain to reveal his connections just yet.]

A mere coincidence. Are you acquainted?

private

[worldofourown]

On a first name basis. Quite a charming man.

[But one, like Aion, Karl made a point to be slightly watchful around, due to his acquaintanceship with Solomon.]

private

[jiyuna_togabito]

I see. I'll certainly have to speak with him.

[To compare and exchange notes.]

What else has he told you?

private

[worldofourown]

Simply of how attractive it would be to take over the City. To have all those powers of various timelines at one's disposal.

It's the sort of thing my eldest brother, Amshel, would've reveled in.

[And in pops the curse.]

Fasheazy.

[Sigh.]

private

[jiyuna_togabito]

And you? Will you be as ambitious as your elder brother?

[Spoken in the "I am disappoint, what have you done for this family" way. He held silent even so trusting that Karl knew in what context he meant.]

private

[worldofourown]

I've thought so long about dying. About ending everything. And Saya was my means to achieve that.

...

But here, death isn't possible. It certainly makes one reconsider life and possibilities, doesn't it?

[Not said with the firmness of an outright 'Yes'. But not a 'No', either.]

[majorcrotchgrab]

Who are you addressing?

[jiyuna_togabito]

Certainly includes you, Raikov. And how long have you been on the net?

.......

Don't mind it. I'm more cursed than I'd like to admit.

private

[jiyuna_togabito]

Why consider it? Life is too precious for a young man like yourself.

......

Is that the only reason you sought her?

private

[worldofourown]

[He lets off a short, hissing laugh at this.]

I'm not young. I ought to be long-dead.

[A beat.]

I sought her because she was all I had left. Diva - she couldn't love me. Not as I wanted. [Diva was too damaged to know what love was.] But in Saya, I saw someone like me. Someone isolated. And unwanted. I knew we'd both be happier dead.

[majorcrotchgrab]

Do tell.

private 1/2

[jiyuna_togabito]

If you ought to be long-dead, I ought to be long-long-dead, mister. You'll always be young in my eyes.

[jajf;adsjf Cough. Aion recalled what Viede had once said to him about Fiore and Joshua.]

private 2/2

[jiyuna_togabito]

Quite the reason though to each his own. Regardless, you too seek the possible. A yearning for the taste of freedom. With the deity's powers such would be and more.

[He planted the idea with a grin.]

[jiyuna_togabito]

You shouldn't be nosy of other people's business, young man.

[Coughs and grumbles.]

private

[worldofourown]

[The brief, unexpected outburst makes him frown. In the next breath, he shakes it off. Aion is clearly as cursed as Karl. Best not to dwell on it.]

These Deities? Can they actually be overthrown?

[majorcrotchgrab]

Well, you did post publically.

private

[jiyuna_togabito]

You deny the probable?

Anything is possible when you place your mind to it.

[flowed like something out of a children's book~ damn fucking curse. He shifted his glasses.]

..... right.

[jiyuna_togabito]

A proper lecturing was called for.

.....

....truthfully, unintentional. I'm certain it doesn't need to be spelled out for you to guess.

private

[worldofourown]

[At the line, Karl chuckles a little. Cliched as it is, part of him still likes to believe...]

Hm.

You may have a point.

[He still hopes he can get his hands on Saya. That he can escape this damned City - and be released into death.]

private

[jiyuna_togabito]

Think about it. You've the time after all.

[The more men to their army, the greater the chance. He wouldn't have pursued it if he didn't think it was possible. All the deities needed was the right push to make it favorable for them. He was determined to find the means no matter what it took.]
