I'm down to roll with the five-man band of Alias, Hoshi, Levi, Morgan, and Lucien for the sunset convo. Everyone that constitutes the "DI crew."

Also, small nitpick, I know, but can we all post our color coding claims? Gotta find a color for Hoshi's dialogue that isn't taken. Lol

@Little Bird

No problem with that.

Normally, sea-foam green. Top row, 7th column. For the tone he uses when he gets serious about something, dark red. Bottom row, first column.

82ca9d and 9e0b0f respectively.

That could work, yeah! :D What do you guys think?

@Dragonfly 9

I have no issues with it.

Levi clicked off his cassette player and took off his headphones as he noticed Lucian running up alongside him. He ran silently for a while more, letting Lucian finish his thought. “... Yeah… intense is definitely a word for it.” He chuckled slightly under his breath. “But hey, could be worse. We’re not all dead… yet. Depends on whether or not the concussed man back there accidentally fries his ship’s reactor as to if we stay that way, though.” He paused again, turning slightly as the beach did.

His feet kept kicking up the sand behind him, as he minded his pace a little more now that someone was running with him. He just stayed silent for the most part, not really knowing how to phrase his thoughts in a way that would make sense, without coming across as potentially demeaning. So, he opted to focus on running while the gears in his head whirred. He noted the cool breeze off the ocean, and the beautiful color contrast between the trees, the ocean, and the beach.

“... Magic being real is interesting. Not good or bad necessarily just... interesting. Not sure how I feel about other worlds, though.” He finally said, his legs starting to feel the burn as he kept going. That wasn’t much of a concern for him, they ran for maybe five miles before he had spoken again, and a full lap around this island was maybe twelve to fourteen. The only reason he was feeling it now was because he’d already ran a full lap earlier that morning. “I guess… I’m just a little worried about the others. You know them, they don’t always think things through. And around here, sure, that’s fine. Worst care they end up in swimming in the ocean, or in a sparring match they weren’t ready for. But out there, who knows what’s waiting?” He exhaled hard. Or, at least, harder than he already had been. That definitely wasn’t everything going through his mind, but it seemed he wasn’t comfortable sharing any other thoughts right now. It wasn’t because he didn’t feel he could share his thoughts with Lucian, moreso because he couldn’t find the right words to do so.

“So, how about you? What’s your take on this whole mess?” He offered Lucian a small smile.

I love it. Once Levi leaves I could see Alias stopping Hoshi so they could share a Paopu fruit together.

@King Kindred

Levi: Oh, don't mind me. Just gonna walk. Over here. Defiantly not watching the two I grew up with finally be honest with their feelings for each other while squee-ing like a little girl. Nope. You don't see me. Defiantly not.

Kingdom Hearts: Heroes of Hope

Post in coming.

@King Kindred @Bacon how do you feel about a sunset convo between Hoshi, Alias, and Levi (HAL for short) a la SRK? By the paupu tree? I feel like their shared connection to Kitsu would naturally have them on closer terms with each other.

@Little Bird

Sure thing.

Kingdom Hearts: Heroes of Hope

Should I have Lucian run with Levi?

@Crimson Flame

Up to you. It's an open invitation.

Levi was... well, to say he was overwhelmed would be putting it mildly. He was currently trying his to remain calm after hearing this Zac guy mention that his ship could atomize the entire island if it's reactor exploded. So, in a desperate attempt not to break down, he looked to find anything to divert is attention away from this. Just in time to see Morgan pelt Alias with a fist-sized chunk of ice.

"... What in the..." His eyes widened as he took a couple steps back. Magic was real? Well, at least Morgan wasn't just delusional and/or insane, that was good to have conformation on, at the cost of his entire world view. At that point, he walked over towards the ocean, scooped some seawater with his hands, and splashed himself in the face. As he registered the cold sensation, and turned to see the ship was still there and Morgan still had her perimeter of frozen spikes. That was all just... too much. So, Levi did what he always did when he got overwhelmed. He started to stretch.

"I need to take a lap. I'll be back. Feel free to join me if you can keep up." He said as he stretched his legs. Then, he turned down the beach, and started a light run.

As his body worked, he put on his headphones, hit play on his cassette player, and used this time to process... well... everything that had just happened in the past ten-to-twenty minutes. So, start with the least concerning part, and go from there.

First off, Taivas is apparently from another world. He seems eager to leave, so I'm sure that'll be arranged pretty quickly. Means I don't have to bother introducing him to anyone else.

Number two, magic is real. I guess all that talk about dragons, wizards, and fairies from those old storybooks wasn't just something to entertain people. And apparently Morgan can use it, so at least she isn't demented like I thought when she first genuinely claimed she could use magic.

Number three, other worlds do exist. Which means that Alias and Hoshi are gonna want to leave and try to find Tsu. I'm not sure how their parents will react to that, but unless I start guarding that ship and never sleep again, nothing will stop them from getting on board.

Should I tell them? No. They wouldn't believe me, especially now that Alias' theory about other worlds has been proven. Best I can do it go with them, and make sure they don't get themselves killed then. I'll take what savings I've got, but I'm not sure if munny will be worth anything on other worlds.

Now, last and most important. There is a vessel on this island that could destroy me and everything I love if the man fixing it screws up one little detail. I can't do anything about that one. So, all of our lives are effectively in the hands of a man who probably has a concussion after falling from... what I can only guess to be orbit. Best not to dwell on that one. When I get back, I'll just get him whatever he askes for.

I think Levi's learned too much today. Existential crisis kinds of too much.

Kingdom Hearts: Heroes of Hope

Not really feeling big on Star Wars being put into this. There's aclot of material to unpack. Sorting out how KH magic interacts with the Force would be work. Overall just doesn't fit that KH vibe and would be a committment to the point of being its owm RP. I'd prefer to lean into some more FF worlds to throw into the mix.

@Little Bird

Fair point.

Kingdom Hearts: Heroes of Hope

Wait a sec... both sith and nobodies have yellow eyes. Meaning a sith with a heartless could, assuming they are one in the same, exist separate from each other. (Translation; fighting Anakin or Palpatine's heartless while a protagonist duels the person themselves is feasible.)
