My Puzzle Life's Complete
Who: Mikleo ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
a_meebo & Sorey unwaverings
When: OOC: 11/17; IC: 4/8
Where: The Zesty apartment
What: Sorey has promised to give Mikleo more info on what's going on in this house. Also, he needs a goddamn haircut.
Rating/Warning: Pretty major spoilers for Tales of Zestiria, C for Cute
[Mikleo really hadn't taken a good look around the apartment the previous day. He'd been more inclined to just lie down in bed with Sorey and decompress after talking to so many people, a marvel in and of itself. It had all been a lot to process, and he really didn't think that adding to it with what Sorey needed to say would help him.
It's the early morning when he wakes up. Sorey is still asleep, though that doesn't surprise him at all. Carefully and quietly, Mikleo slips out of bed without disturbing his friend and heads out into the main room. He feels like reading until Sorey wakes up, but something catches his eye.
Leaning against the wall near the couch is a staff. Not just any staff. It's painfully familiar, and he automatically walks towards it. Mikleo picks it up like it might turn to dust in his hands.
Muse's staff. The one thing he has left of his birth mother, other than a painful and horrific memory.
As he holds it in his hands, Mikleo just...doesn't know what to do with it. He's not sure where to put it that's out of the way of anyone trying to walk through the living room. For once, the water seraph is at a loss.]

no subject
[ Considering Mikleo's not good at cooking with heat anyway and all these technological advancements do is make his skills better by default.
But he's not opposed to washing up real quick. But first — ]
Are you sure about that?
[ Gotta tease the best friend. ]
no subject
Mikleo looks so unimpressed while he's putting the ingredients in the bowl, but there's a smile that's trying to come out that says he's actually amused.]
I'm a water seraph. If I can't put out a fire, then there's something wrong with this picture.
no subject
Yeah, you're right about that one. [ Aaah, stretching. He hasn't had much time to relax this morning anyway what with all the conversation and hair cutting. ] Alright, I'll go wash up. See you in a few, okay?
[ Aaand off he goes to the bathroom to get ready for the day. Please try to at least not burn the waffles, Mikleo. ]
no subject
He doesn't do anything fancy with the batter, at least. Mikleo isn't so sure that the waffle iron would like that much. They come out maybe a shade too brown, but it doesn't make them inedible.
There's a plate ready for Sorey when he's done. Some strawberries are arranged nicely with the waffles, and there's butter and syrup on the table. Mikleo's almost finished cleaning what he used, and another plate of waffles is sitting on the counter. He's not sure if Alisha is here or at whatever job she has in the colony, but he'll keep out the utensils just in case she hasn't left.]
no subject
I'm back! How'd it go? [ Hmhmhmm looking over at the waffles and their slightly overcooked look. Laughing a little. ] Well, they look better than they'd normally be.
[ There's a playful tone to that. ]
no subject
Are you saying you don't want me to make things like this for you anymore?
[He puts the last utensil away and dries his hands. After, Mikleo takes his plate and sits down across from Sorey.]
no subject
No, no! I'm sure they taste great anyway. [ Hahah. Gosh, Mikleo.
He'll go ahead and put some butter and syrup on it though. Ah, it's like sweets for breakfast ... so good. ]
no subject
I'll take it as a victory if it doesn't kill you.
[He's just going to eat his strawberries first. Honestly, Mikleo's only worried that it didn't cook all the way through. Of course they haven't, but it's still a worry when he hasn't used an iron like this before.]
no subject
Just ... laughing lightly before he tries them and they actually taste pretty good despite their slight brownness. He looks a little shocked. ]
Hey, these are pretty good, Mikleo.
no subject
With more practice, I think I can get the timing down and they'll be better. Then, I can talk to Lailah or someone else good at baking to see if they can give me some tips on a better flavor.
[A doorway to many possibilities has opened up for this water seraph and he's going to enjoy taking them.]
But I'm sure there are more technological advances you want to show me, right?
no subject
But ah right. ]
Yeah! A ton! This whole place is different from our world! Did you know that you could "take" a picture? It's like a painting but it's instant and you don't have to paint it!
[ Which makes no sense with that kind of explanation, geez. There are many other things but this is the one that comes to mind as the coolest. ]
no subject
[Mikleo tilts his head, but he looks interested.]
That explanation makes no sense, so you might have to show me that one. It sounds useful, though.
[An instant 'painting' of something would actually help them a lot with their research of the ruins in Cerealia. It means less mistakes and more time to explore the ruins rather than use most of it in sketches.]
no subject
[ He can't help but smile wide as he takes another quick bite of his waffle and then moves to take his CereVice out. He'll be messing with it for a moment, and then he'll hold it up, the camera on the back pointing right at Mikleo, and a moment later he'll turn the screen towards him to show him ... himself! ]
See? Cool, right?
no subject
Whoa! That's a really clear image!
[He's going to attend photography classes. This is an amazing skill-set to have.]
Okay, I'll admit it. I'm impressed. This is going to come in handy for sure.
no subject
[ Quickly bringing his CereVice back to himself to open his photo gallery so he can flip through the various pictures he took in the jungle. He unfortunately didn't know about taking pictures when he was at the village ruins, but he did get neat pictures of plants and monsters (a lot of which are of them (even the plants) lunging at the camera because they are in fact dangerous), and Saiduq, and some weirdly framed ones of himself. Around half of the pictures are blurred, too. He's not good at this yet.
But he'll flip through those so Mikleo can see them. ]
See? I could've never shown you this stuff without it!
no subject
That's for sure, especially considering how those plants and animals are attacking you. A description wouldn't do it justice.
[Mikleo gives him a curious look, though.]
Why are there pictures of you, too?
no subject
I guess they didn't like pictures very much, that's all. [ Heh heh ...
But ah good question! Sorey doesn't know how to turn the camera on it to take selfies easily, so he's stuck with the whole blindly taking a picture and then turning his phone around to see how it came out thing. Which is why they're all framed weirdly. That's hard, okay. ]
'Cause I wanted to try it out. But it's kinda difficult to take pictures of yourself, so they look a little strange.
[ He was really just curious as to what he'd look like in the pictures. And they're kind of addicting to take. ]
no subject
[He totally believes you, Sorey. Totally.]
Do you mind showing me how to do that on mine?
[Mikleo is absolutely going to take a photo of his friend. What's better than having his first picture be Sorey?]
no subject
[ He'll show him real quick on his own CereVice, since they seem to all have the photo app on them by default. And he'll quickly just show him what to click to open it and take a picture of the ground to show him how to snap the picture, too. ]
See? Easy.
no subject
Click! Photo taken!
He comes back so that they can both view it in the CereVice's photo gallery.]
I think that's a better picture of you.
[It's not perfect if Sorey isn't smiling or grinning.]
no subject
That is a pretty good one. It's way better than the ones I tried to take of myself.
[ They're all so off-center and badly framed ... It's so hard. ]
I'm looking forward to the pictures you take here. This way we can show each other things without having to be together. Just in case.
[ In case Cerealia separates them somehow. Which he's sure is possible. ]
no subject
[Let the merciless teasing commence. You know you've missed it, Sorey.
Still, that's a fair point. Mikleo nods as he closes the app.]
That's true. There may be times where this place separates us in one way or another. At least if we find each other, we can prevent that from happening since I can still use you as a vessel.
[In theory.]
no subject
But he's got a point there. ]
Yeah. Just this place works in strange ways. At least knowing how to take pictures'll help us be prepared if we're separated and need to show the other something.
[ It's a nice thing to be able to fall back on. It's not the same as being together when they explore someplace, but ... it can ease that a little, at the very least.
And ... now that Mikleo's here, Sorey kind of has the urge to take pictures of him just for the sake of doing so. It seems fun. ]
no subject
right now.]If nothing else, they might also be useful in figuring out where the other is. This saying that the CereVice's network doesn't stop working for some reason.
[At least they'll have the pictures stored somewhere, though. Still...Mikleo is going to see about finding a camera that isn't connected to CERES, though that might be impossible.
He might be lost in thought as he looks at his CereVice.]
no subject
[ He's texted a bit before so at least he knows how to do that sort of thing.
Hmm, looking over at Mikleo to notice him lost in thought. ]
... Need help figuring out how to send the pictures, too?
[ He's just going to assume that might mean he doesn't know how to send the pictures he takes. And Sorey can teach him if he needs it! ]
