[aitou]

[And to think, just a few days ago Yasusada was regaling Danny with enthusiastic talk of his former master...

The Yasusada here now is a very different sight, all of his excitable energy replaced with a heavy air of sorrow. He looks, for once, all of his 550 years--he doesn't acknowledge Danny's presence, but he doesn't seem to be particularly aware of anything, right now, lost in his own thoughts. But he isn't giving off "go away" vibes; he won't turn Danny away if he chooses to approach.]

[gogoghostpowers]

...hey there.

You okay? [ the second he asks it, he cringes at himself. ]

[aitou]

[Yasusada, at least, doesn't seem to notice. He doesn't respond for a while--but eventually he lifts a hand, rubbing at his chest.]

I don't know. I don't think so. [But it's difficult to answer, beyond that.] In here... it's too much.

[gogoghostpowers]

[ oh...he and buzen were close, weren't they...and hadn't buzen said something about learning about human emotions? is yasusada like that too? ]

Uh...yeah...that happens.

[aitou]

[He is--though whether he's further along than Buzen, or whether he has far more to learn, is likely a matter of perspective.]

...Our master should be able to find his spirit again. When we get home. But even so...

[Even so, it feels like failure to have lost him.]

[gogoghostpowers]

...yeah. You, uh--you knew each other before the Prism, right? You're another one of those sword-people?

[aitou]

[He nods--then shakes his head, which isn't helpful. But at least he'll explain.]

We're from the same place--the same citadel. We didn't know each other before we met here, though. I only knew some of the other Gous.

w3, tuesday

[gogoghostpowers]

[ Danny is on the rooftop, taking in a biiiiig, deep breath of fresh air! That is, until he spots a bubble forming and approaching from the greenhouse. ]

Oh, you've gotta be kidding me.

[aitou]

[The rooftop!! It's not a bad place--Yasusada enjoys being in the rooftop, and sometimes when he comes up here, he can see the dojo or the meeting hall, which he likes. Perhaps they should've known there'd be no escape, though...]

Eh, again?

[gogoghostpowers]

You too, huh? What number are you up to with these?

[aitou]

I'm not sure anymore... too many.

[gogoghostpowers]

Great. Alright, let's just get it over with, I guess. [ he sighs, hopes for the best, and presses a yellow hand against the bubble.

Have fun with this, buddy. (22:35-23:43, 27:38-28:02) ]

[aitou]

[He will take a second to process all of this but first he is zeroing in on something extremely important]

Eh, you're a ghost?!

w5, sunday

[aitou]

[HELLO SMALL LAD here we are on the beach after all of that!!!

Yasusada still looks very tired, but the color has faded from his hands--for now, it's just his hair that's reflective of the night sky. He's still bandaged, and clearly hasn't been in the pods yet, but at least his injuries are relatively inconsequential compared to everyone else's. NOT NAMING NAMES, CLARTE.

It's a little half-hearted, still, but he gives Danny a smile when he sees him here as well, nodding slightly in greeting.]

...I'm glad Clarte will be okay.

[gogoghostpowers]

[ Danny is starfished on his back in the sand. He heaves out a relieved sigh, giving him a small grin back. ]

Me too. That was...close. Way too close.

[aitou]

[Danny is valid!!! If Yasusada weren't injured and exhausted he would also starfish tbh, it's one of his favorite things to do.]

Yeah... Roxana is--was very strong.

[And willing to do anything to survive, as they saw. They're probably lucky Clarte fought her properly, considering how kind they can be.]

[gogoghostpowers]

Hmm.

[ in the neutralest tone imaginable, but a half-note down. ]

Yeah. She...really was.

[aitou]

[Well, for someone like Danny, that's a noticeable reaction--Yasusada gives him a curious look, as he takes a seat on a rock nearby. This rock was definitely always there and I didn't just magically make it up for this one thread, I don't know what you're talking about.]

You don't think so?

[gogoghostpowers]

[ it's okay, sand is just small rocks, their daddy rock can be here too

Anyway, Danny shrugs into the sand. ]

I don't know what to think, I guess. I didn't really know her. I like, hardly ever spoke to her at all.

w6, saturday

[aitou]

[TO THE ROOFTOP. It's a good night to come brood on the rooftop; Yasusada is up here, looking... well. Very upset, understandably. He's not crying or anything, but there's a distant, hollow look in his eyes when he glances over at Danny--even so, though, he nods a little in greeting. So there's that.]

[gogoghostpowers]

Hey. Why the long face?

[aitou]

[He just--looks at Danny like he doesn't understand the question, for a long minute. Buddy.

Eventually:]

...Itsuki. [Softly.] And Clarte.

[gogoghostpowers]

Oh.

That's it?

[aitou]

[He frowns a little.]

What do you mean?

[gogoghostpowers]

Well, we're so close to figuring out what's wrong, and then we'll bring them all back! It'll be like nothing ever happened! So there's no need to get sad about it!
