[attr="class","likedo"] [attr="class","likedotitle"] [attr="class","likedotitle2"]IKIGAIN NEW YEARS [attr="class","likedoinfo"]In light of the recent magi curfew passed in Ethea, Prime Minister Yoko Shimomura of the neighboring country Ikigai has made a highly publicized invitation to all magi civilians to celebrate the coming new year in her country. "We welcome all with an acceptance and tolerance that our nation has a proud history of. We look forward to bringing in a new year filled with peace standing besides our friends and families under a sky illuminated by fireworks." The translated televised speech had gone. The move was an obvious political move to express their distaste of Ethea's recent policies and an economic strategic move for the growth of her own country. [attr="class","likedosub"] For reasons your own, you have decided to take the Prime Minister up on her offer. As have a large many apparently. Whiiiich probably led to the decision of not bothering with the traffic and overly populated national capitol. No. You've traveled to a North Western island of Ikigai to celebrate this new year in an Ikigain fashion. A smaller city whose architecture and population are more traditional. You won't find any of those fancy skyscrapers here. As we speak, there are vendors selling all sorts of traditional cuisine. Stores are open for you to either purchase or rent kimonos, along with many other assorted goods. The parade of lion dancers and dragon floats continues to pass by. Fireworks will begin shortly. Please enjoy your stay in Ikigai. ~~~~~ Your characters are free to post in this thread for a general openness to mingle with whoever happens to show up. However please feel free to start your own threads in the event board if you have specific plots in mind. (Example: I'm planning on using this event for my character, Elijah, to go on a date with Luca. So I'm going to be creating a thread for just Elijah and Luca in the near future.) PHARAOH LEAP.

WATCH OUT BOY SHE'LL CHEW YOU UP SHE'S A MANEATER Ikigai. The place where Magis still held their basic rights. The place where they were welcomed to roam freely unlike Ethea. The place Aneska chose to attend when they welcomed the magis with open arms to a New Years Celebration to start off the next year with a brilliant beginning. She knew their reason for offering the magis to join them. They were showing off how they felt based on the new regulations and policies. A good one at that, that Aneska highly praised Ikigai for.
The woman had arrived hours ago with her two trusted assistants. She had invited them to join her on her travels to Ikigai, knowing well they would enjoy it as they were magi as well. Living within Haven was beginning to grow tiring to the old Magi as she constantly saw the same thing everyday. To be able to venture out to another part of the world, to see different traditions and cultures was one that interested the Zero Magi.
Aneska’s dress dragged along the ground as she came upon a vendor that was selling kimonos. The woman looked through them, scanning them and looking through each color. One of her assistants, Mary, had spoken up. “Very pretty Aneska! That one with the blue would match you wonderfully!” With a smile, the tall woman nodded and thanked the woman for the compliment and pulled the multi-colored kimono out to examine. “This one dear,” Aneska spoke softly, her voice thick that defined her accent. The individual gladly took it and rung it up, Aneska paying before taking the kimono and moving on to examine more vendors."The children here are so very adorable, don't you agree Vic?" Aneska turned to her other assistant with a bright smile as she watched children run about, giggling as they played with each other with no care in the world at that moment.
@tag/This is shit and i AM SO SORRY.

why did you allow me to fall from the stars? إلهة 女神 θεά 여신 ديوي देवी אֵלָה [attr="class","windyscarlet"] Beaming. If there was one word to describe little fallen Arithelia it would be beaming. Whenever a mortal holiday came to pass, she always seemed to be in better spirits. Mortals gathering together with peaceful happy demeanors seemed to be a guilty pleasure of hers. Mortals spent so much time fighting regardless of whether it was verbally or physically. It was a nice change of pace to have enjoyable interactions.
So it would be with a gleeful wide smile that Ari would be walking alongside Jason. One hand was balancing a half eaten mooncake and one last gyungdan. Currently, behind her smile was a mouthful of dessert being chewed in an ever so pleased manner. The other hand would continue to hold onto Jason's. The last thing she wanted to do was be separated from her loyal one. And with such heavy crowds, it wouldn't be all too difficult to manage.
Ikigai was a country filled with many sub-cultures. Every island had its own unique tastes in foods and fashion. Tonight Ari was enjoying them all. Money had been donated from the temple for that exact reason. The tiny fallen goddess was not yet truly used to being taken care of. For indeed the tables had always been turned. She was always the one to care for her children. Not vice versa. And yet that had been her situation for the past eight years.
So the two had gone shopping for cultural clothing earlier in the day. A kimono, qipao, and the hanbok she currently wore. Ari wouldn't lie, it was nice to own clothing that wasn't overly cutesy and childish. They were garments she'd have no problem wearing in her more mature forms either. After finishing the foods that had been left in her hands, the young child would tug at the large earth magi's hand. "Jason? Can we get some mochi ice cream?" She'd ask, pointing to yet another stand.

Blessed is Arithelia, Mother of Magi. Blessed is the Inner Flame, eternally bright and warm as the sun. Blessed is the Tranquil Sea, ever formless and shifting. Blessed is the Solid Earth, firm and unbroken. Blessed is the Mending Hand, gentle and generous. -Jason Reed
Ethea had become an increasingly dangerous place in recent months. The new legislation imposing a curfew on magi had resulted in the Great Huntress’s wolves patrolling the streets of every major city aside from Haven. There’d already been more close calls that Jason could comfortably tolerate. When Ikigai’s prime minister made their announcement, Jason had been all too eager to leave the country for a few days to celebrate the new year. Besides, it would’ve been a bold-faced lie to say he wasn’t enjoying himself right alongside his goddess.
The generous donation from his brothers and sister at the temple had given the pair more money than they could possibly use in a single day and they’d made good use of it. The kimono, hakama, and kataginu he wore appealed to his more martial sensibilities. Even after purchasing the clothing, there was still quite the sum left available to them for throw away money, so the two of them took to the festival too spend it.
Jason was sure to keep a firm grip on his dongo sticks and an even firmer one on his companion’s hand. The crowds were rather large even for one of the smaller cities and he had no intention of losing Ari within it. The tug at his hand sent his gaze down to Ari and her pointed finger. “I suppose that we could,” he said. “It’s been a long while since we last had money to splurge, so we may as well take the opportunity to spoil ourselves a little.”

WATCH OUT BOY SHE'LL CHEW YOU UP SHE'S A MANEATER “Lady Ana,” Mary began as she took a hold of the taller woman’s arm. “Don’t you think we should head out to find him?” Aneska’s gaze shifted for a moment, a puzzling look appearing on her face as she didn’t quite catch on what the woman had meant. “You know, Elijah?” Vic stated calmly. With a light hearted chuckle, the woman shook her head. “Why, no. I am sure he is enjoying himself. Aren’t I allowed to do so as well?” Aneska claimed softly. The only way she got here was by her parents money when she contacted them as soon as she heard about the prime minister’s offer. Elijah had chosen to attend the celebration as well but Aneska chose to go on her own, away from him. She knew well he had others to go with so she knew well to keep a distance. Such did not matter though. She had her two trusted assistances. Aneska brought them so she did not feel as alone and they knew her the best, having been there since the beginning. As she strolled through the crowd with the two women, she could feel the warmth of the city around her. The happiness that blossomed, the laughter and the conversations she heard. It was nice to see both Magi and human alike interacting with no issues with each other. Something the Zero Magi had wished for since she moved to Ethea. The thoughts of Ethea easily left her mind as the woman gazed about the crowd, watching those mingle with each other and especially the younger that ran about chasing each other. Wonderful to see, her heart warming up to the sight of children. Although, while her eyes scanned, they caught a glimpse of a soft hue of white hair that matched a little girl. Almost immediately, Aneska’s face reddened up and her pupils dilated while her eyes grew big. “Oh my! Look at that little bean!” She squealed with happiness. Before her two assistance could grab onto Aneska, she went running over, maneuvering her way about the crowd until she reached the young girl. Her eyes connected with the older man that held her hand and the smile only grew on the tall female's face. "She is absolutely beautiful! Look at that hair~." Aneska cooed softly, dropping herself to her knees as her golden orbs stared at the younger girl. "Is that natural? My oh my~. How old?” Aneska’s eyes drew to the male before her who held the small child’s hand. Taking note, she noticed how much taller he was compared to both her and the child.

♔ There. Was. So. Much. Food. The tiny child was drooling at the various smells that wafted through the streets of the Ikigaian city. this was her first time visiting the country and so far the food was wonderful! Convincing Mommy to let her come with her new friend Evie was one of her best ideas yet! The tiny child was currently munching on some sort of breaded treat that had a jelly like filling. it most certainly was delicious and she smiled up at her friend by her side. " Miss Evie, did you enjoy your food?" Vivi most certainly was enjoying her food. She would finish, and politely take her mom's handkerchief out of her sleeve and dab at her face. She didn't want to disrupt the tiny amount of makeup that she had convinced Evie to apply to her face.
After she finished she held up her hand for the other pretty woman to take if she wanted. She didn't want to get lost, though the bodyguards that were tailing them probably wouldn't allow it to be honest. In all the tiny girl was more than willing to just enjoy the night and the festival for what it was- a celebration! Vivi would smile as she walked around. It was a little odd that everyone was so intermingling, magi and human alike, but it was awe inspiring that she got to see so many magi in one place. The girl would keep tugging on Evie's arm and pointing out at all of the many different looking people. There were lots and lots and she was really excited.
Then, of course, she saw a suuuuuuper pretty girl, who looked about her age but had antlers. Vivi knew right then and there she had to meet her. especially if her hair was as fluffy as it looked. Letting go of Evie she would walk up to the magi girl and take out the small hair ornament she had before tapping her on the shoulder. "Excuse me, I'm Miss Vivianne Lemaire. I just wanted to say how adorable you look and floofy your hair is, and if you want it, I wanted to give you this hair ornament!" Vivi would hand it over to the girl with a smile. "Your antlers look like they need some jewelry too for the festivities, should I send Jameson to fetch some?" Vivi would point up at the bodyguard with a smile, and nod towards the girl her age. "Pretty people deserve pretty things! Also, this is Evie. She's pretty beautiful too!"
"What products do you use to get your hair so fluffy? It's super adorable!" Really the girl is quite vehement on interacting with the other tiny child. "Also you should call me Vivi! All my friends do and I hope we can be friends soon! I would be lucky to have such a pretty friend!"
If spoken to by either of the adult magi that were around Vivi would smile and curtsy towards them. "You have excellent horns as well miss, they gleam with the lights around and should be adorned with jewels!" Giggling she would smile and tilt her head towards the rather large man, "You look pretty strong sir!" She would give a small salute before turning back to the young girl. "Don't you just love holidays?"

[attr="class","jawntatlttri"] [attr="class","jawntatrttri"] [attr="class","jawntattxtdiv"] Of all the places that Evelyn had visited, Ikigai was probably her favorite. The culture was so rich and interesting and the people that lived here were so much more tolerant than in Ethea or Wuld. And their traditional clothing was so much more fun to wear too! Evie had fallen in love with her kimono from the second she laid eyes on it. Everything from the floral patterns to the bright pink color and long, flowy sleeves positively screamed buy me! She didn’t even bother thinking about the high price tag, especially when her mother was the one footing the bill. If she wanted to use her new friendship with Vivi to further her own agenda, then the least she could do was buy her a few nice things. Besides, spending time with Vivi would’ve been its own reward. [break][break] Evelyn, Vivi, and the suited bodyguards that always seemed to be looming around the little girl took to one of the island nation’s smaller cities to avoid the massive crowds. It was nice and there was lots of good food to be had. The treat she and Vivi were munching on now was only one of many examples to help hammer that point home. “Yep, I sure did! What about you, Vivi? Was it good?” A beaming smile crossed Evie’s lips as she admired the makeup she’d applied to the small child’s face. It was just enough to make her face pop with detail while remaining tastefully innocent and cute. [break][break] She gladly took the hand Vivi offered and trekked alongside the girl. Her smile every time the cute little button pointed out another magi was every bit as radiant as a sun. It was hard not to get swept up in the little girl’s childish joy and she was more than happy to carried right along. Plus, there were some rather attractive people in the crowd, so she was all too eager to give them a passing glance. There may have even been a wink or two at the ones that caught her interest. [break][break] Evie wasn’t exactly paying attention when Vivi let go of her hand (possibly due to the handsome young man she spotted), but she stopped ogling after noticing a distinct lack of warmth in her hand. “Oop, Vivi. Where ya going, little button?” Her wooden sandals clacked out a steady as she followed her little friend and soon it was obvious what caught her attention. Evie fell in love with the white-haired girl from the moment she laid eyes on her. “Oh my gods, you are so cute!” [break][break] [attr="class","jawntatbtmdiv"] [attr="class","jawntatltcl"] [attr="class","jawntatsidediv"] [attr="class","jawntatsideicon"] [attr="class","jawntatsidefld jawntatsidefld01"]WORDS 262 [attr="class","jawntatsidefld jawntatsidefld02"]TAGGED _xxx [attr="class","jawntatsidefld jawntatsidefld02"]TAGGED _xxx [attr="class","jawntatsidefld jawntatsidefld03"] NOTES Outfit[attr="class","jawntatsidefld"] CREDITS _ TIME AFTER TIME post template created by JAWN of WW[newclass=.jawntatdiv01]width: 500px; background: #ededed; margin: 0 auto; overflow: hidden;[/newclass][newclass=.jawntattxtdiv]font: 11px Open Sans; line-height: 18px; color:#000; padding: 25px 60px 30px 60px; position: relative; z-index: 4; background: #F5F5F5; border-top: 1px solid #dadada; border-bottom: 1px solid #dadada; margin: 20px 0;[/newclass][newclass=.jawntattxtdiv::first-line]font: bold 11px Open Sans; line-height: 19px;[/newclass][newclass=.jawntattbl]width: 100%; border-spacing: 0; border-collapse: collapse; [/newclass] [newclass=.jawntatrtcl, .jawntatltcl]vertical-align: top; display: table-cell;[/newclass][newclass=.jawntatltcl]width: 10px; position: relative; z-index: 4;[/newclass][newclass=.jawntatsidediv]background: #ED687F; width: 170px; min-height: 5000px; right: -120px; position: absolute; z-index: 5; transition: all 0.4s linear; [/newclass] [newclass=.jawntatsidediv:hover]right: 0px;[/newclass][newclass=.jawntatsideicon]position: absolute; z-index: 6; height: 50px; width: 50px; right: 135px; top: 30px; border: 10px solid #ED687F; transition: all 0.4s linear; border-radius: 100%;[/newclass][newclass=.jawntatsideicon img]border-radius: 100%;[/newclass][newclass=.jawntatsidediv:hover .jawntatsideicon]height: 80px; width: 80px; right: 35px; border: 10px solid #ED687F;[/newclass] [newclass=.jawntattopbg]background: url("http://pa1.narvii.com/5745/bd6bf2af96109273e128e85ce8f5d84f1b40583f_hq.gif"); background-size: cover; height: 250px; width: 100%; position: relative; [/newclass][newclass=.jawntatlyrics01]font: bold 10px Source Sans Pro; position: absolute; bottom: 80px; left: 63px; color: #ededed; line-height: 12px; text-transform: uppercase; width: 132px; letter-spacing: 1px; text-shadow: 1px 1px #000; [/newclass] [newclass=.jawntatlyrics02]font: bold 30px Source Sans Pro; position: absolute; bottom: 0; left: 50px; background: #ededed; color: #ED687F; padding: 10px; line-height: 24px; letter-spacing: -2px; width: 118px;[/newclass][newclass=.jawntatlttri]width: 0; height: 0; border-style: solid; border-width: 0 0 68px 15px; border-color: transparent transparent #ededed transparent; position: absolute; bottom: 0; left: 35px;[/newclass][newclass=.jawntatrttri]width: 0; height: 0; border-style: solid; border-width: 68px 15px 0 0; border-color: #ededed transparent transparent transparent; position: absolute; bottom: 0; left: 188px; [/newclass] [newclass=.jawntatbtmdiv]border-top: 7px solid #ED687F;[/newclass][newclass=.jawntatsidefld]background: #E52445; width: 120px; margin: 10px 15px; padding: 5px 10px; font: 9px Open Sans; color: #8D9292; opacity: 0; transition: all 0.4s ease-out;[/newclass][newclass=.jawntatsidediv:hover .jawntatsidefld]opacity: 1;[/newclass] [newclass=.jawntatsidefld:hover]background: #ED687F; color: #000;[/newclass][newclass=.jawntatsidefld01]margin: 150px 15px 0 15px;[/newclass][newclass=.jawntatsidefld img]margin-right: 5px; float: left; clear: left; opacity: 0.4; transition: all 0.4s ease-out;[/newclass][newclass=.jawntatsidefld:hover img]opacity: 1;[/newclass]

[attr="class","Morning"]
why did you allow me to fall from the stars? إلهة 女神 θεά 여신 ديوي देवी אֵלָה [attr="class","windyscarlet"] The confirmation of mochi ice cream was one received with a big cheesy smile. Goodness, she was a fan of good food. Not that she needed it. No, gods in their reign did not survive or maintain health from the foods received but from the prayers and faith of their loyal ones. This was a simple fact of her kind. So during the normal days of travel Ari was known for not eating much of anything if anything at all. The food was best utilized by the mortals who required more than she was her logic. So when festivals came about, where eating was overall seen more as a joyful pastime than a necessity to survive, the tiny fallen goddess tended to jump right on board.
Who had kept account of how much she'd eaten thus far in the evening? Surely not her. Though it was fair to assume it was at a much higher quantity than a normal mortal child would be able to. But nevertheless Ari was excited for more. Mochi ice cream. The colorful flavors she could see from afar were already fluttering through her mind. Which ones did she wish to have? And would she just shrug and ask for one of each?
However it would come to pass that this would not be found out. At least not yet. A compliment would ring kindly in the air, causing the two to pause in their venture over to the mochi stand. A beautiful woman had maneuvered her way over and would have lowered to her knees in order for eye contact to be made more efficiently it seemed. Ari smiled back in turn in a similar air. "Thank you." She would respond in turn, her free hand (now dessert free because she'd finished her previous treat and had thrown away the wrapper in a trashcan along the way) would give a snowy lock a single stroke.
"Yes, it is." Ari would nod before pausing once again. Although, this time it was because of the humorous question she'd just been asked. The asker was not aware of her own humor, which perhaps made it all that more comical. It was enchanting, really, especially coming from such a lovely child of hers. "Believe it or not I'm a touch older than what I look." Ari would respond with a precision of words, telling technical truths. The tiny fallen goddess had never been one to lie. "I've been told I'm on the smaller side."
A request to have this beautiful zero magi, whose voice Ari recognized from prayers spoken to her name, join them for mochi ice cream would be caught in her throat. A small finger tapping on her shoulder would garner her attention. Turning her head 'round after an appropriate "excuse me" was given to Ms Aneska, Ari's iridescent gaze came to rest upon a child that visually appeared to be similar to her. And my goodness, the excitement and energy was accurate to that assumption.
"Aww, thank you--" Ari blinked to the gift being offered to her. "Thank you!" It was entirely unexpected but if there was anything that Ari had learned over the years, it was to be gracious when being given gifts. Granted, back when she'd learned this lesson, it was when she was still a fully realized Goddess. They were called sacrifices back then. Sacrifices varied but the fact of the matter was always the same. They were given from a good place within someone's heart and it was terrible of a deity to refuse one. To do so made mortals disheartened. She never wished to do that to anyone again.
Standing before her were strangers to her. Never had she heard these mortals pray to her nor attempt to summon her by name. Nor were they of the race the Great Arithelia had born. Nevertheless, they would be met with a kind gracious and loving smile as was expected of such a loving Goddess who was praised in a sympathetic religion. The hair ornament would be received with those pale fingers with a grateful nod of her head. "Oh, hello Evie -- thank you." Ari would say again.
Goodness, the multiple compliments she'd received in such a short amount of time. It was enough to make one blush. And blush she did. Sure, before she'd fallen the Goddess Arithelia had grown accustomed to a certain form of praise. But it had never quite been appearance based. Magnificent acts, sure. Miracles of nature, yes. Beauty? Once in a while it would be brought up but not very often. Perhaps once every seventy-five years? It seemed mortals assumed deities to be beautiful and handsome. So now, especially in her fallen state, it was fair to say it was not something she was all too familiar with. Especially not one right after the other in such a way given even by non-believers.
"Well I use--" Nope. The answer to the inquiry of hair products was cut short with another one by the human girl. The energy of mortal youth was something that astounded her, especially after having fallen. It was probably for the best anyways. Little Ari didn't use much of anything special. Mostly what was available to her at the time and whatever nature had to offer as they traveled. "Well thank you. I wouldn't mind being your friend, Vivi. But, you don't have to send Mr Jameson off to get me anything else. I was actually just about to get some mochi ice cream."
Oh, introductions were in order. "You can call me Ari. And this is Jason and Aneska." The little fallen goddess would say, at the moment forgetting that the zero magi whose voice she recognized had not yet given Ari her name in the exchange they'd just had. A slip that would perhaps come to mind after her mochi itch was scratched.

as long as you remember me, i don't care if everyone else forgets. [attr="class","quicklinks"]Open! [attr="class","quicklinks"]357 words Anyone waant some yummy ramen?! Maia is in a good mood! | [attr="class","technoscroll"] ❝ After going after the fishy in the stalls the human teenager would continue to make her way down the crowded streets for the celebration of the festival. Maia was still surprised River had somehow convinced her father to let her come on this trip. It really was odd, but she was going to complain. Goodness the air tasted different here, It was fresher and saltier. She had missed it. Yes Felici was a port city, but it wasn't an island. It didn't have the roaming fields or tastes in the air that she had grown accustomed to. It was good that she could visit. Especially for such an important day and celebration. As such, the woman as not in any hurry as she made her way down the street. She had an uncharacteristically set smile on her face, full of laughter and mirth and she wasn't going to lose it today. Not when she was finally home. The teenager adjusted her long ponytail and moved her way through the crowd with a smile. She would take a small amount of the Ikigaian currency that her father had given her and stop by one of her favorite mochi shops in this area. Gods she had missed this. "Thank Kalidas, that this is made the right way". After eating her desert bite by bite, the teenager would grin as she smelled a familiar scent. Ramen, they had real ramen here, and by the smells of it, it was going to be fantastic. She would shuffle her way along, following her nose until she came to a booth that was barely separated from the festival by a curtain and sit up the chairs. Setting down the money she would smile over at the attendant and grin, "One special please I've missed the real thing. Tell ya what, I pay for the person next to me as well. It's the new year after all!" The teenager would smile towards the figure that sat next to her and wait paitently for her meal to come. Boy was she going to enjoy this. |

[attr="class","tgg"] [attr="class","TheGreatGatsby"] Sanity It's just one side of the coin Helena knew Ikigai had mostly put out the invitation to magi citizens and not hunters or aspiring hunters. That said, Helena didn't feel like it excluded herself or Hart. She felt like travelling somewhere, and Ikigai was a good option. She'd come with her 'guardian' even though he was that in name only. Otherwise it was awkward for a teenager to travel. Hel spoke Ikigaian as well as Ethean and Wuldian. Therefore, she felt perfectly prepared for the trip. She'd been walking around the stalls for things to do. She'd also purposely worn something other than her regular dress shirt. Today she was wearing a black kimono. It was quite comfortable, and she'd paired it with a pair of regular men's sandals so she could easily walk around the festival. She'd stopped at a few before she spotted the ramen and her stomach had grumbled quite insistently at the sight. She walked into the booth and sat down beside a girl who looked the same age as Hel herself. "A bowl of...your most recommended." "As you like sir." Hel didn't mind when she was mistaken for a guy. She did in fact look like a guy with her flat chest and nonexistent hips. Even her voice was definitely an androgynous one. Rather, she was glad the guy had just accepted her order. It was confusing for her, not knowing how to order it. Then she heard the words of the girl next to her, saying she would pay for the person beside her. Hel's eyebrows rose and she looked at the girl with a grin. "Thanks for that." She felt sort of bad not passing it on honestly, but she had already done the same for someone wanting cotton candy so she supposed it might be fate. "To the New Year! And to me hopefully learning more about Ikigai besides the fact I don't know how to order ramen properly." Helena was feeling quite celebratory. Jovial, even. She generally didn't make jokes as often, but she was feeling good. Hart was happy in her head as well, even staying quiet so they looked sane. For now anyways. Hel expected him to...well raise hell...later on. For now though she certainly wasn't going to complain. notes: thought i'd drop helena in for fun / 355 / Maia Nomi [attr="class","mizocredits"]

Blessed is Arithelia, Mother of Magi. Blessed is the Inner Flame, eternally bright and warm as the sun. Blessed is the Tranquil Sea, ever formless and shifting. Blessed is the Solid Earth, firm and unbroken. Blessed is the Mending Hand, gentle and generous. -Jason Reed
Jason had barely given his approval for mochi ice cream when he and Ari were practically swarmed by a several people complimenting his goddess in the space of a few second. It brought a smile to his face and a chuckle rumbling from his chest. He nodded his head to each of the newcomers in turn as they were introduced, though he warily eyed what he assumed were Evie—or perhaps even Vivianne’s—guardians. His ever-expressive tail clicked softly as it moved to and fro in agitation. He’d developed a healthy level of caution towards human since the recent riots, and even here he was unable to completely shake himself free of it.
He turned his attention away from the bodyguards and focused more on the little one they were charged with guarding. The bright white line of a smile split his mahogany skin when she saluted him. “You would be right about that, little one. I was once a professional fighter and ran my own school for a few years before . . . well, let us just say that it was a better time.”
Jason tried hard not to flinch when Ari gave Aneska’s name without having been given it, though his tail wasn’t nearly as successful. “Well, as little Ari just said, we were just about to go for mochi ice cream,” he said, desperate to shift the conversation before someone noticed the slip. “You’re all more than welcome to join us if you wish.”
Please let no one have noticed that.

WATCH OUT BOY SHE'LL CHEW YOU UP SHE'S A MANEATER Aneska’s smile only grew when the ‘child’ had said thank you and watched as her hand gave a lock a stroke. She wanted to touch her hair herself but she found it extremely rude to just up and touch someone so she kept her hands to herself, just admiring the beauty of the girl’s hair. The zero magi squealed in response as the woman stated the hair color was indeed real. Yet, her thoughts were taken away when she spoke of age. Brows furrowed as her brain wracked around. Could she have been born different? Ah… She could be a magi. A possible deformity from birth? That was the only possible explanation as the woman sat their thinking. Magis always did look young even if they were older. Hell! She was one hundred and three and she looked as if she was twenty years old. Aneska’s thoughts were yanked away once more by the voice of another young child. Her eyes shifted to look over, heart melting over the young girl’s energy. She was extremely pleased with herself as she just waltzed up and stated her name. How adorable! “Why thank you, dear.” Aneska replied as she stated how her horns gleamed in the light. The magi’s hand reached up to stroke one of her crooked horns, a soft smile placed on her face. Jewels were something she had never thought about putting about her horns. A gold chain that wrapped would look so lovely... A thought to discuss with Elijah later. Aneska had lifted herself to her full height, sending a nod towards the man that stood with Ari and a smile that held true. Her eyes shifted back over to the younger child and the woman that seemed to be a possible care taker that brought herself over. Eyes shifted to look at the men that had followed the new girl over, her guard raising ever so slightly. Caution, right? The zero magi always made sure she introduced herself before she went ahead to speaking to people. Yet this time she hadn’t. But she thought she had. So when Ari had spoken her name, it flew right over Aneska’s head as she had thought she gave her name. It did tug at her brain a little, seeming a little uneasy as she put a little thought into it before allowing the thought to disperse. “Mochi ice cream sounds wonderful~. I would love to join!” Aneska swiftly moved herself about to place herself beside the older gentleman, Jason, a wink being sent in his direction.

as long as you remember me, i don't care if everyone else forgets. [attr="class","quicklinks"] Hel/Hart, @quynn [attr="class","quicklinks"]483 words Maia is speaking in Ikigaian. Also I'm sorry for the wait! | [attr="class","technoscroll"] ❝ There would be a smile towards the person who sat down next to her at the ramen stand. Maia wasn't in the mood to be grumpy today, and after all she had just treated the person to a bowl of deliciousness. The teenager would have taken a noodle in her own chopsticks and slurped it up yummily as she looked down at the food. Oh gods this was amazing. She loved the smells and the way that the noodles soaked up the sauce and just tasted amazing. Maia had missed this. It, almost tasted as if her mom had made it. A sense of nostalgia and longing would overtake her as she remembered the last time her mom had made the dish. It had been the afternoon before the crash and Maia rarely had a chance to have this meal since then. It was apart of what made this trip and this night so special to her. Forgive her if she would get a tiny bit teary-eyed. She wasn't planning on thinking about her mom at this festival, and she would hide her small tears in the steam from her ramen. She would be smiling as she continued to slurp down the deliciousness. When addressed by the silver-haired human who sat next to her Maia would smile and nod, "It is the new year after all!" would be exclaimed in Ikigaian. The teenager was in a good mood so she might as well share that with those around her. No need for quarrel on a night of festivities and fun. "Ramen is a delicate thing to order yes. You must want the most deliciousness with the most edibility as well! You don't want to order something that your stomach can't handle. But I trust the chef here, they know what they are doing, my nose caught the scent from a block away. It was glorious, and I just had to have some!" In Ikigaian Maia was much more talkative and fluent than she would ever be in Ethean. In the middle of their conversation, Maia would notice a magi come into the stall. A small sigh would come but she would return the wave. It was best to be polite, especially in Ikigai. She would nod towards the winged woman and go back to her food. She wasn't going to pay much attention to something that probably would only bring trouble to her tonight. For once Maia wanted to avoid trouble, especially in Ikigai. She had lived in this country for many years to know that Magi weren't to be messed with in Ikigai. Even if she personally thought they should be controlled, it didn't mean that the government of Ikigai felt the same. So quiet she would remain, slurping up her ramen with great enthusiasm. To the human Maia would nod, and tilt her head. "Is this your first time in Ikigai?" |

♔ Vivi would smile up at her pretty friend. She was more than happy that she had been able to come to Ikigai! She couldn't wait to tell all her schoolmates about all the interesting magi and people that were in this strange country. There was even a magi that had scales! Scales! It was amaing in all sorts of ways and Vivi couldn't wait to find out what else there was in this land. Maybe she could convince her mommy to buy a vacation house here! It would be awesome to come for holidays and stuff. She was sure she could get mommy to agree. After all, her birthday had just happened and she hadn't asked for a gift yet. A house in Ikigai would seem like a pretty cool gift! Also it wasn't that expensive, she knew that her mommy like to save money! "It was so good!" The tiny child was so happy to be here, and especially be herre with her new friend. Maybe the two of them could take vacations here in the future! That could be super fun! Just like a super awesome sleepover! Maybe Evie would tell Vivi all sorts of secrets and things! It would be so much fun. Also tea parties. There had to be tea parties.
As Evie had caught up with Vivi the tiny child would smile up at her. "I found a little magi with super fluffy hair! I just had to give her this ornament!"Grinning she would smile over towards the other child. "I hope you don't mind us interrupting, but I just had to talk to you!" Smiling as bright as the lanterns that lit the streets for the festival, Vivi would grin towards the fluffy haired girl. "Yes!" The tiny child would let out a giggle and clap her hands together in excitement, with a small jump as the other child took her present. It was a win today! "Yay! I have more if you want more, but I thought this one super suited you! It brings out the beautiful antlers of yours! " Upon looking a tinsey bit closer at the child Vivi would grin and tilt her head. "Are your antlers fuzzy like a reindeer's? I bet they are super soft! That totally suits you, you look super soft! I just wanna give you a squishy hug, but I can't cause I just met you, but hopefully, if we are friends long enough I can eventually give you the squishiest of hugs!" Vivi would grin towards the child magi and tilt her head. "Also, I like soft things and you look super soft." A sage nod would happen as Vivi looked at the child.
As the child smiled and thanked her Vivi nodded."Okay! Just let me know and I can send Mr. Jameson off to get the things! He is the fastest of all the guards! He used to run track, and mommy says that she has assigned him o me because he can get to me quickest!" Vivi would giggle as she looked at the people in front of her."Mommy's overprotective. She thought something bad might happen cause I'm in Ikigai, and cause she's in politics."Giggling with enthusiasm Vivi would shake her head, "You are all wonderful. None of you would ever hurt me! All of you are too pretty and awesome and amazing! I wish Sasha, my kitty, could see this but Daddy doesn't let them out of the house! Vivi would sigh but in a split second the smile would return to the sunny little girl. "Sasha is super soft too! They probably would have loved to meet you Ari, Mr. Jason, Ms. Aneska." Vivi would nod in thought as she looked on towards the wonderful girl her age named Ari and the adults that were accompanying her.
Upon being addressed by the super hulking strong muscly man that Ari most likely referred to as Jason, Vivi would smile and nod. "Ooooh, Maybe Mommy needs to hire you to be my bodyguard then. What is your hourly rate? I'm sure mommy can afford up to 25 an hour. I know Jameson and Jeffery are on salary." Vivi may have just been a child, but she kept her ears open. especially when it came to her bodyguards. These people were family after all. She needed to know what they were worth. "That way, you and little Ari and Mrs. Aneska can come and live with me! You can join our family!" Vivi thought her plan was genius! Turning to Ari Vivi would smirk. "You and your parents can come live with me! I'm sure Mommy can arrange it!" Besides, then she could keep her new friend close to her and that was really what she wanted. She didn't want to lose the friend she just made! Upon being informed that the man had run a school Vivi would smirk and nod towards the man," Then you can teach all the guards!" the brunette little girl could hardly keep from squealing as she thought of this idea. "Besides with how strong you look, I'm sure you could teach them a couple of things! Ooooh, do you use your tail to fight? It looks well armored! "Vivi really was quite the curious one.
Looking over towards the woman with horns, whom Ari referred to Aneska Vivi would grin. "I'm sure you and mommy would get along! The both of you are suuuuuuuuuuper fashionable, and seem like you both know how to command a room!"It was important for women to know how to rule, as they had to work twice as hard to get where they were going. Vivi and her mother were firm believers in feminism and figuring out ways to empower women. "Evie and you should talk about stuff! I wanna chat with Ari!" Vivi would tug on Evie's sleeve until she would come over to talk to Mrs. Aneska, and engage in some sort of conversation.
Vivi would then skip over towards Ari with a smile. "What type of Mochi ice cream are ya gonna get? I'm thinking strawberry. It is supposed to be super sweet. You are super sweet so you deserve something super sweet too! Get as much as you want. Mommy gave me her platinum to spend cause she couldn't come spend my birthday with me here. It's okay though, cause I met a super nice girl with fluffy hair and antlers!" Of course, Vivi was referring to Ari and she would giggle as she did. "Is there anything else you want me to do or send Jameson or Jeffery to go get?" NOTES:Big Bright Ball of Energy

[attr="class","tgg"] [attr="class","TheGreatGatsby"] Sanity It's just one side of the coin Helena heard the girl return the New Year's greeting and smiled. She also took in the sight of the magi coming into the shop. She regarded them carefully, looking them up and down with a cursory glance before looking back at the girl next to her. Helena may be a hunter student, but she wasn't exactly racist against magi. Not completely anyways. She had been raised by a magi so it was only natural to cut them some slack. The problems arose when Helena came across a magi who did harm. She didn't hesitate to report such a magi, so try to stop them. Those who harmed others were despicable no matter who they were. But enough of that, it was the New Year and she was determined to make the best of it.
She had nothing to toast the magi with though, not being of legal drinking age yet. Helena turned eighteen next year...no it was New Year's so she supposed she turned eighteen later on this year. Then she would be done with the Hunter Academy as well. And prepared to move further into the Hunter's Guild. That was an odd thing to realize. Helena grinned widely on hearing the girl go on about the ramen. Now that she was speaking Helena thought the girl was probably around the same age she herself was. That instantly made her mind go 'uh-oh' honestly. Helena and Hart both had always had trouble talking to people the same age as them. They'd been raised from a child as a mercenary and hunter. They hadn't exactly had tons of times to socialize with people the same age. Hel managed usually though regardless. Besides, they were both jovial. Nothing to really worry about...right?
"Good food is always something to celebrate." She smiled. Then she heard the question about whether it was her first time in Ikigai. She nodded.
"Yeah it is. I learned Ikigaian from my...guardian as a kid. I take it by how fluent you are that it isn't the same case for yourself? That you've been to Ikigai before?" Helena hoped her Ikigaian was okay. She did keep up on the language so she was decently fluent but it was nothing like a native speaker regardless. That could only be achieved by speaking to native speakers on a regular basis after all.
