Event Post 60 - Visiting Slate

[i_like_red]

*As promised, Juudai has arrived at the jewellery shop owned by Slate's mother in the evening, in order to talk to Slate further on what had happened when the monster attacked her. He enters the store and looks around for her.*

*it... yeah. she's having to take a moment to really understand all of that...*

You are not... aging?

*w-well, at least she picked up on something there, it was quite a bit.*

[i_like_red]

That's right. So that means 50? 80? 100 years from now? I'll still look exactly like this.

[knightofgems]

And you will still be alive? Living for that long?

Is it not... scary?

[i_like_red]

*He smiles at her with a little sorrow on his face and then gives her a slow nod.*

Yes. It's scary.
I know I'll outlive everyone I currently know, including my wife and my friends. So it is difficult.
But I don't regret the decision I made, which made me like that. Not at all. Sometimes you've just gotta take things as they come and look on the brighter side.

At least with such an extended lifespan, I have all the time in the world to do the things I want to do.

[knightofgems]

Mm... *she makes the gauntlet dissipate from her arm*

... though, um... it protects you from "mind control"? As in controlling of your mind?

That is a thing that occurs?

[i_like_red]

Yes. If anything or anyone tries to control or alter my mind in anyway, the power of the spirit I fused with stops this from happening.

Yubel, the spirit, protects me.

[knightofgems]

Yubel? Um... I do not know if familiar with name.

*while Yubel's actually a widely available card, it is a much older one... it's fair that she wouldn't know about it.*

[i_like_red]

This one.

*He takes Yubel's card out and shows it to her.*

[knightofgems]

Oh... oh! I think I have seen it, before. I think. I did not remember name, though.

So this card... they help you? And you are "fused"?

[i_like_red]

Yes. Yubel help's me a lot and our souls are fused as one, though she can appear separate to me in this form too.

[knightofgems]

R-really? She can appear?

[i_like_red]

Yes.

*He pauses as he thinks.*

... Would you like to see her?

[knightofgems]

I... I would not mind seeing. If she do not mind?

[i_like_red]

She can be a little grouchy sometimes, but meeting new people is good for her!

*He puts on a little mischievous smile.*

Hey, Yubel. You have someone who wants to meet you.

[das_yubel]

*As if my magic, Yubel quickly materializes behind Juudai. She looks at Slate with an amused expression.*

Well, well. Little gem girl wished to meet me?

[knightofgems]

*she's a little surprised to see Yubel there-- though it might be out of natural shyness more than anything*

Ahh... um... y-yes... It. It is nice to be meeting you. *she nods her head a little bit*

It is just very... interesting, very interesting. That you are together? Fused, you said?

[i_like_red]

*Juudai nods*

Yes. Our very souls are fused together.

[knightofgems]

... How does that... feel?

(1/2)

[i_like_red]

Feel...? Er...

*He looks back at Yubel. Exchanging glances with her.*

I guess it's kinda... difficult to describe.
But I guess I could say that I feel... protected?

(2/2)

[das_yubel]

...this one certainly has a lot of questions. Hmm.

[knightofgems]

I-is it bad? That I am questioning?

[das_yubel]

Not at all.
But remember the saying: "Curiosity killed the cat"

[i_like_red]

*Juudai just shoots Yubel a look*

Oi, oi. Don't scare her!

*He turns back to Slate*

You can ask as many questions as you'd like.

[knightofgems]

D-do not worry. I am not scared.

I am more very... what is word... Entranced? Impressed? No, no, those words do not fit...

It is just very amazing to see... someone fused with another. Just how...?

[i_like_red]

It was done through a very powerful card called "Super Fusion".

*He goes into his deck holster and pulls the card out to show her.*
