Who:

soulcool.
Where: Sprout Tower.
When: Backdated allllllllllllll the way to the 12th!
Summary: Jade and Soul have some hot cocoa and chill out.
Rating: Not above PG, and I doubt it'll even get to that.
Log: [It's early in the afternoon and Jade is standing outside Sprout Tower, waiting for Soul. It's just about the time they'd agreed on to meet up, so he should be here any minute now! She got there a little earlier than expected; it hadn't taken as long to get to the tower from the hotel as she thought it would.

She's pretty excited about this! Not only has she been interested in checking out the tower, but Soul seems like a pretty cool guy and she's really interested in hearing more about the world he came from. She wishes she'd had more to tell him about the world she came from, but she'd really been out of the loop and missed most of the interesting stuff that had been going on. Being asleep for most of their session certainly didn't help...

She snaps out of her thoughts in time to see Soul off in the distance. She excitedly waves and yells to him, jumping up and down a bit.]

Sooooooooooooullllllllll!

[Soul's just sauntering up ~~like a coolkid~~ to Sprout Tower, hands in pockets, but he waves back when he catches sight of her.]

'Sup, Jade? Didn't keep you waiting long, did I?

Hi!

[She smiles and shakes her head.]

No, I haven't been here very long!

Good! It wouldn't have been cool of me if I did.

[He looks up at the tower with a grin.]

You know, ghosts don't come out in the middle of the afternoon.

[If you know what he means.]

Huh... I suppose they wouldn't!

Speaking of ghosts, I wonder if there are any ghost Pokemon you can catch in this tower!

Hey... That'd be pretty cool. Having a ghost Pokemon...

[But wait, doesn't he eat those? Monster souls? |8 Oh man now he's thinking about. gdmit, he's gone so long without drooling.]

Wanna head in? Or we could go talk'n wait for night to roll around.
Maybe catch a few ghosts!

It would be kind of cool, wouldn't it?

And I'd be cool with either! Whatever you want to do.

Let's go chill then! I kinda want to catch one of those ghosts.

[and taste one. hmmm.

He turns around to leave, but waits for her because he is a ~*gentleman*~ ~~unlike Dave~~.]

Okay!

[She follows!]

[And opening the door for her and everything! Isn't he just so cool, Jade?

~~And after talking it out with Karkat-mun~~ He doesn't take her to the center, though -- Karkat had left before he did, to go scope out a place for their upcoming hatedate. So he's heading to the hotel room (which he had also recently cleaned up! So thoughtful) with her trailing along behind.]

Karkat left earlier, so I hope you're cool with hanging out in our room.
My Pokemon are back there anyway, and I probably should make sure my Weedle's not climbing in shit. Heh.

[soooooooooooo cooooooooooooooool]

That's fine with me!

[Onnnnce they're in there, he puts the kettle on, and flops down in his chair. ... And gets tackled by his Weedle, who apparently does not like being alone. He will have to remember this.]

Make yourself at home, Jade. Sorry about the lack of seating, but the bed should work, right?

[She giggles a little at the Weedletackle and sits down on the bed.]

Yeah, this is fine!

Heh. Cool.

[Streeeeetch, and gets himself comfortable in his chair.]

So. What all did you wanna know?

Well... You said something about you being a demon hunter back home. I want to hear more about that! And... as much as you want to tell me about your world, really!

Ooooh, boy. Get comfy, it'll be a bit long.

[He just decides to make their cocoa now, since while he's talking'd be the best time for it. The water was warm, anyway!

So he hands her a mug full, and chills back in his chair again, letting his Pokemon get comfy, too.]

Want me to start from the beginning?

[She smiles as she takes the cocoa from Soul.] Thanks!

Sure!

Allllrighty.

Welllp, back when I was younger --- not too much younger, of course, just like twelve or somethin' --- me and my older brother were fooling around and doing a little research on our family. We found out that, hey, I come from a long line of Weapons! Which're people that can turn into, you know, Weapons.

It was a pretty cool deal if you ask me, so I packed up and left. Went and moved across the country, to Death City, Nevada. Stupid lookin' little town at first; out in the middle of the desert, no cities around for miles, and the weirdest architecture. The room of my apartment juts out like five feet from the building. Tch. But it's grown on me.

[He pauses to sip at his cocoa in thought, then continues.]

Well, I moved there, because of their world famous academy --- the Death Weapon/Meister Academy, or DWMA, ran by Lord Death himself. He's basically the grim reaper -- a god of death, you know? Single handedly locked up the baddest demon our world's ever known. He runs it in hopes that someone in his school'll collect enough demon souls --- or Kishin eggs, as I know'em --- and a Witch soul to become a Death Scythe; one of his personal Weapons.

So we learn how to be good Weapons for our Meister, Meisters leearn how to be good for their Weapons, and in return, we travel about the world collecting Kishin eggs and Witch souls.

[He pauses again, only because he's wondering if he should go on. But he does!]

Well, we were for a while. Until some big bad Witch reared her head in Italy. She was something else --- totally strong, and completely ruthless. Sly like a goddamn snake.
We couldn't kill her, of course. And I ended up getting nearly killed protecting Maka from one of her cronies.

[Baps his chest a bit.]

Got a scar to show from it, too. And yet Maka insists on being that guy's friend. Feh.
Whatever -- if there's anyone that can make a guy a good guy, it's her. Just look at me.

[She takes a sip of her cocoa and just kind of stares and blinks for a second because OH MAN, THAT WAS A LOT TO TAKE IN.]

Oh, wow! It sounds like you've been through a lot... Your world sounds really cool, though! I'm pretty sure there aren't people who can turn into weapons in my world...

And... What was it like to talk to the Grim Reaper? Or did you get to talk to him?

Talking to Lord Death?

He kinda rambles a lot --- he's pretty damn old, you know --- and he's never really straightforward when he doesn't want you to know what's going on.
But he's pretty cool, for an old coot.

And --- heh. I'm pretty sure my world's the only one that can. Maybe.
But if you meet Maka, be nice, kay? Though that's not really a problem with you.

Huh. I guess it would make sense for him to be old... even though I never really thought about it before! And I guess maybe he figures there's just some stuff you don't need to know?

You might be surprised!
And of course I will!

Well, of course. That's just how the school runs --- we're not really supposed to know anything but what he teaches us.

[He leans back in his chair again, and finishes off his cocoa. Man he's got so much on his mind since everyone started asking him about his world. :|]

... Hey. Can I ask you some stuff, too? Not about your world or anything.

Makes sense, I guess.

Um... Sure!

Just... wanna know what your family was like.

If it's not anything hard, of course.

Well... my family situation is pretty weird! I was raised by my grandpa... He did all sorts of things. He was an explorer, a big game hunter, an archaeologist, a naturalist, and a scientist! He collected all sorts of things, too. He died when I was little, though... I was really sad at the time, but now I'm okay! After he died, my dog Becquerel is the one who took care of me.

But apparently my grandpa wasn't even my grandpa at all-- he was my dad! And apparently John is my brother and his nanna is actually my mom! And I didn't even find any of this out until really recently. It was really surprising.

[... Well. He was not expecting that. He was almost expecting "nothing special, grew up with my parents, had an annoying sibling" or something. The usual.]

Sounds almost as messed up as a couple people I know.
They're families, I mean. Tch.

So, that John kid's your brother, huh? I really gotta meet'im, now.
