[He isn't the right person to talk about body vs mind ages...]

That's too precise. Have you been marking the wall with chalk or-- [Woah wait a second there.] What do you mean, I was here before?
key_illusion: (pic#3716950)

[personal profile] key_illusion 2013-06-03 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I count. That's it. Whether it's too precise for you depends on how much you pay attention to time. [He has to say his piece about that before he continues:]

Just as I said. We've talked before, but it's not surprising you forgot since you were sent back. Time is a bit funny here. [He's pulling out a flower from the bouquet, idly picking away at its petals and tossing them to the ground below.]

It's supposedly stopped back home while we're here, and when we do get sent back, it's at the same point. No memories of Asgard leave this place either, but some do come back with or without the memories they made here. Funny how that works, huh?

[personal profile] 2cool4guardian 2013-06-03 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[He snorts.] Believe me, you don't want me to start on time.

[Jack is frowning again while watching the petals fall. It's funny to hear about that, but not shocking. He knows the "higher ups" tend to have a twisted sense of humor.]

They're messing with our memories... [Obviously a touchy subject for him.] And what do the Gods have to say about that?
key_illusion: (pic#3558626)

[personal profile] key_illusion 2013-06-03 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
No clue. [That's right. All he gives is a mild shrug.] It's not a subject I'm worried about yet.

[personal profile] 2cool4guardian 2013-06-03 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[He arches an eyebrow.] Yet? How come? They send you a notice with anticipation telling you they're going to play with your brain?
key_illusion: (You won't see the things it says.)

[personal profile] key_illusion 2013-06-03 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I just have no intention of leaving this place. [There's not much waiting for him back in the datascape.]

They could mess with my memories as a curse, but I'd rather not spend all my time worrying about that. Besides, no one has returned here that I would care if their memories of this place were eliminated or not.

[Seeing as how Roxas and Lea have left but have not come back.]

[personal profile] 2cool4guardian 2013-06-03 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think these are the kind of guys who care about your intentions.

[His initial comment about deities' habits is as true as it gets. For him at least. But now he shrugs.]

Not gonna blame you for not thinking about it, though. Live your life as it comes and all that jazz. Are you in this... house too?
key_illusion: (pic#5760745)

[personal profile] key_illusion 2013-06-03 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
True, but it's not like I'm asking them to send me back either. [Unlike sooooo many other Travelers.

He can't say much for the last bit either-- ??? doesn't really have a 'way' to live. Not just yet. Too many other things to think about.]


Loki's house? Yeah. I used to live in the Welcome Hall, but I've moved out.

[personal profile] 2cool4guardian 2013-06-04 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Jack knows how much a world can suck so he won't comment on that. If he really can be seen by everyone, he can even understand why the idea of staying is so very tempting.]

The Welcome Hall is... the room where I woke up? So what, you're in the actual town now? If that's what we can call this place. [Location, location, location. Jack knew the Earth like the back of his hand, and know he doesn't know where he is at. So frustrating.]
key_illusion: (pic#3372088)

[personal profile] key_illusion 2013-06-04 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
The place you woke up was the castle where the gods live, supposedly. This whole place is the city of Asgard, and it ends where it meets the giant walls surrounding us.

[Just to be clear because he's been playing guide to Naruto. Clarifying more:]

The room that they gave you to stay in is called the God House, Welcome Hall, whatever you want to call it. The fridge gets restocked all the time, by the way. I moved into an apartment with a friend, though. Doesn't have to be in Loki's district as long as you can pay rent. But stay too long in another district, and you'll start getting paranoid.

Got all that?

[personal profile] 2cool4guardian 2013-06-04 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, I guess Jack kinda counts as a shonen idiot, so ??? can officially become their guardian data angel. Or something.

He nods. So now instead of being weak to warmth he's weak to other houses. Lovely.]


Gotcha, thanks. [After some more thinking, he adds another question.]

How did you end up on the roof? [PRIORITIES]
key_illusion: (pic#5760745)

[personal profile] key_illusion 2013-06-04 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[Just going to stare for a good second or two because the question itself sounds self-explanatory.]

Climbing. [Well, more like he managed to get on a nearby roof, set a teleport array, and everything works from there.]

There IS other magic besides the gods', by the way. Just none from home.

[personal profile] 2cool4guardian 2013-06-04 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I was afraid you were going to say that.

[He leaves his staff against the wall and just like ??? said, he starts climbing. He's a bit hesitant at first but gains speed quickly. He may not be able to fly anymore, but he's still one agile monkey.]

Yeah, yeah, new powers and all that jazz, save it. [He still is a bit grumpy about losing his original ones.]
key_illusion: (To find and lose.)

[personal profile] key_illusion 2013-06-04 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[He'd offer a hand but 1) he's not letting the bouquet go anytime soon 2) Jack seems to have it on his own.]

Hey, I'm only saying because you were pretty impressed with the bomb I made. Technically it was supposed to be fireworks, but it's still cool.

[personal profile] 2cool4guardian 2013-06-04 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Good call. It would make Jack feel even worse if he had to get help for something so mundane as climbing.

He doesn't answer at first, too concentrated on finishing the higher part of the wall. When he finally reaches the roof, he stretches his arms and turns to ???.]


Alright, did anybody say bombs?
key_illusion: (pic#5432833)

[personal profile] key_illusion 2013-06-05 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Watching Jack climbing will be temporary entertainment before brandishing the bouquet this way.]

Magical bombs, thank you very much. [Okay, maybe he shouldn't shake them too much. He's not good with fragile things.]

Runic magic works with the land's magic, but it's difficult because you have to write the runes in the right placement and on the right object. That's why my fireworks turned to bombs accidentally.

[personal profile] 2cool4guardian 2013-06-05 05:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Woah, wait, you can learn the other magic types? Why didn't you start there?

[???, please. Though now that he's sounding younger and more relaxed, so Jack is reconsidering his initial impression of him.]

Do you have anything to work with cold?
key_illusion: (pic#5760745)

[personal profile] key_illusion 2013-06-05 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's probably better for Jack to keep in mind ???'s condescending jerk-mode side. He's more comfortable in it, but he does tend to flip-flop depending on the company.]

When I said there's other types of magic, that kind of implies that you can learn it. [A shrug, then:] No, sorry. Runic magic IS helpful, but it can't replicate a god power. You'd have to be in Odin's to use Ice.

[personal profile] 2cool4guardian 2013-06-05 06:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh, he won't forget it, don't worry. But it's nice seeing the other side of the coin. Especially since Jack can flip-flop too.]

That's not how it usually works--

[Any kind of comment he had about his world and certain kinds of magic belonging to only certain kind of creatures gets lost when the rest of the information sinks in. He stares at ??? with his mouth hanging open, but surprise is quickly replaced by a frown and good ol' anger.]

The other house has Ice powers?!
key_illusion: (pic#3716950)

[personal profile] key_illusion 2013-06-05 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Sadly. You look more like a trickster than a bookworm though. That's why Loki picked you.

[Teasing or not, ??? still manages to keep a smile and holds back from chuckling.]

Sorry, Jack, you're out of luck.

[personal profile] 2cool4guardian 2013-06-06 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
A bookworm? You're telling me the bookworms got the Ice? You gotta be kidding me - has nobody in this place ever experienced a snow day or what!

[Part of his mind registered the trickster bit, and later he'll kinda proud of it. But now? Now he's just angry. Ice equals fun in his book, how come the nerds got it? The scandal!

He wants to throws snowballs at something, to freeze his surroundings, to fly the fuck off - anything to work the frustration out. But he can't do that anymore. So instead he starts pacing up and down the roof, talking to himself, running his fingers through his hair every now and then.]


So much for the whole 'your powers don't work here' deal. What is even the point?
key_illusion: (pic#2985669)

[personal profile] key_illusion 2013-06-06 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
So that we don't die horribly over and over again. Magic from other worlds doesn't mix well here, and it's not just the gods that say that. The dwarves too.

[That sobers ??? up a bit, although he's still observing Jack. It reminds him of his own first experience of having his normal functions shut down, but he was quick to find more things to occupy him for what he lacked.

That, and he's...never experienced a snow day. In Asgard, yes, but the term resonates more with Roxas' fake Twilight Town memories.]


Telepathy or Telekinesis?

[personal profile] 2cool4guardian 2013-06-08 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
Dwarves too? I'm gonna need a bingo card for this...

[Jack finally gives up on pacing and lies down on the roof, stretched out like a starfish. A clear sight of the sky, and the Moon is nowhere in sight, of course, since still day time. He could wait - he and MiM would have a little talk when the night arrives. Well, if we can call that a talk.]

If I had Telepathy I wouldn't be asking question. What about you? You know me, my house and my power, but I didn't even get your name.
key_illusion: (pic#5432809)

[personal profile] key_illusion 2013-06-08 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmm... [???'s quiet for a moment, not because he's ignoring Jack, but he has to decide what to say.]

I don't have one, but you can call me whatever you want. Most people call me Access, though.

[He's picking out another flower again to take off its petals.]

[personal profile] 2cool4guardian 2013-06-09 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
You don't have a name.

[Jack doesn't surprised or weird out by that. Just neutral - and kinda curious.]

Why haven't you just chosen one then?
