004 - [Action/Written]

[When had Dhaos returned to Luceti...? On the first of August, as he recalled. With the kidnapping effect in place, the confusion in its subsequent removal, the return of Luceti Land, and the draft, Dhaos has had little time to reflect on anything that has happened since then. But now that everything has quieted down again, he can think...

If you are content to wait and let time take its course, then the world will have returned to nothingness long before you recall your purpose.

Those words were not meant for Dhaos, but the truth in them rang clear in his ears. Time might not move while he stays in Luceti, but he is no closer to saving Derris-Kharlan than he was when he arrived-- or when he left. And he's been in Luceti for half a year now. Regardless of how helpless he might seem, sitting here and doing nothing would get him nowhere. There was a planet waiting for him.

He doesn't trust the humans and half elves. Arche is an enemy. Kratos is a mystery. Yuan, while apparently trustworthy as far as Dhaos has seen, already knows more than him-- and is too intelligent for Dhaos to risk widening the knowledge gap between them by telling him what he knows. That leaves one person-- the one person from Aselia Dhaos knew for absolute certain would never intentionally compromise him.]

Forgive me, but there is

[The filter breaks.

...

Dhaos closes the journal and hurls it into the opposite wall. Sorry, Luceti, no announcements from him. Feel free to question the filter failure-- or not.

Anywho, regardless of his mood when she arrives,

lostinmyway has decided it's about time she fulfilled that promise to introduce Dhaos to all her friends. If you are on Grune's CR chart, if you have ever spoken to Grune even once, or even if you've never met either of them in your life, Grune wants you to meet Dhaos. Come make the poor Demon King's life as awkward as possible! He's also available at night, as always.]

[Pommy's all too happy to spend more time with Grune, but he's a little confused -- didn't he meet Dhaos already?

Ahahahahaha...ha.]

[Grune is happy that Pommy agreed to help Dhaos make friends. He's already met the other Dhaos, but she doesn't think he's met the Dhaos she became friends with first. (Oh, my, it's a little confusing when they both have the same name.) But never fear--she's sure they'll both get along just as well.

…This should be a fun one for Dhaos.]

Hello, Pommy! I'm glad you could come visit!

[...Pommy. Dhaos has heard that name before.

...

...Oh. Well.]

...

[Geez, Dhaos is probably going to hurt himself just trying to look at this thing. It was much easier when he wasn't six and a half feet tall.]

[.........whoaaaaaa. When did Dhaos get so big?]

Wh-when did Dhaos get so big?

[Snerk.]

[Grune gives Pommy a confused look.] Oh, he's always been this tall.

[Gruuuuune. Please try to refrain from saying anything that will make this harder than it needs to be.]

...Of course I was a child once, but I have been full-grown for some time now.

[About a month.]

[Man. You'd think Pommy would've noticed something like that. Then again, he was probably distracted by cute girls or good food or fun games.

Speaking of which! Pommy comes bearing nomful things, so it can be just like the good ol' days of picnics in Grune's garden.]

Oh! Well, um...Pommy brought food for Dhaos and Grune. [He holds up a small box.] Pommy remembered that Dhaos liked the muffins that Pommy brought the last time, so Pommy made sure to bring some! And there are oatmeal cookies for Grune!

[plz to stop looking so scary, big!Dhaos. ;_;]

[Grune kneels down and beams at him.]

Oh, thank you, Pommy! That's very kind of you.

[Sorry, Pommy, Dhaos isn't going to kneel to your level now that he's over five feet taller than you are. You'll just have to deal.

...He wonders if those muffins would taste as good as they did when he was little, or if it was just something he only liked as a child.]

...Mm. Thank you.

[It's a good thing this critter doesn't have a neck to strain looking up at these two giants. Still not the most comfortable thing for Pommy to be doing, though.]

Where should we eat these?

We could eat them in my garden.

[It would be just like the time she and Pommy and the other Dhaos had a little snack together!]

[Except this Dhaos... isn't all that fond of sweets.]

Given the sheer scope of your garden, we would probably find some way to crush several of your flowers in your garden.

[Or maybe not. They managed last time.]

Myu, well...it'd be nice to spend time in the garden, but Pommy wouldn't want to ruin the flowers there either...

Don't worry. I know just the place to have a snack!

[After all, the garden doesn't cover the entire yard, because then her housemates would rebel.]

...Hm. If you insist, then.

[But don't expect Dhaos to eat anything much this time around.]

Lead the way, Grune!

All right!

[And she's off! Good thing she walks so slowly, or poor Pommy would be left in the dust.]

[Dhaos idly follows, not bothering to make sure Pommy is keeping up. He's sure the... little pink thing... knows where they're generally going, at least.]

[Pommy doesn't notice Dhaos, erm, not noticing him, but that's okay -- he's situated himself close to Grune as the three of them walk. Dhaos was nice before, but Pommy still likes Grune a lot better!

...Pommy does kind of miss tiny!Dhaos now, though. At least tiny!Dhaos was talkative. Quiet people usually make Pommy kind of nervous.]

[Grune just keeps walking along, humming to herself. She's so glad that this Dhaos and Pommy are getting along so well!]

[Pommy is quite justified in feeling the way he does, given the Obviously Not One To Mess With vibes Dhaos seems to give off. Grune... not so much.

If it weren't for the antics and dangerous amount of sensitive information he could accidentally reveal as a child, Dhaos would probably not mind being one again. But well, he was safer this way, and happiness due to ignorance was not something he valued.

Dhaos will just... make sure Grune doesn't wander too far off track.]

[.....

.....

.....

ffffffff IT IS TOO DANG QUIET UP IN THIS BITCH FOR THIS MARSHMALLOW

So -- inspired by Grune's humming -- Pommy will proceed to sing a song. This song, as a matter of fact. Only he actually somehow knows a longer, slightly lyrically modified version that's at least three minutes long. Bomberman, Bomberman, mass destruction across the land~]

[After listening for a while, Grune starts humming along with the chorus. You should sing, too, Dhaos!]

[No. Absolutely not. You two are lucky Dhaos is willing to close his eyes and put up with this at all. He can't even believe you guys. But, as annoying as it is, they really aren't doing anything wrong, so...

...

He miiiiiight let that sigh out for once, now. STOP PLZ? They probably look ridiculous now.]

[NO DICE, DHAOS. Pommy can't hear your agitated sigh over the sound of his own awesomeness. Grune? Can you help a poor demon king out?]

[Action] I'm sure this won't be awkward at all

[Action] Not remotely, noooo.

[Action] How could it possibly?
