Open July Log
Who: Saix & anyone
Status: Open
Where: Various locations
What: MANTA board quests & general starters
Warnings: None
a) a phantom thief
[Naturally, the idea of hearts being stolen piqued Saix's attention. The reports sound a bit different than what he would have expected, though - and so he heads directly to the most recent location where the thief struck.
He can be found kneeling down next to the body, inspecting it. Breathing, living, but unresponsive. Not what he would expect to see from someone who had their heart stolen - and he should know. He sees no sign of anything that would lead him to believe this has any similarity to what he's familiar with.
So, what is going on, then?]
No Heartless, either. Curious.
b) miss praying mantis
[If he's going to remain here, Saix may as well make himself useful. He does have skills, after all, and the easiest one to put to use is also the most obvious one. He's got a claymore and he's ready to use it. While he wasn't generally out doing fieldwork back home, he did his share of fighting.
And a good workout involving some unrestrained violence might serve to clear his thoughts a little. Not that he's having feelings about any of this - obviously that's impossible. But he is having a lot of thoughts, some contradictory, many involving what he would be feeling if he were capable of it. He's rather tired of it.
So, time to hunt down a giant insect. But Saix isn't stupid, and he is new here, so when he sees someone in the same general area he approaches them before attempting to find the creature alone.]
I assume you are here for the same reason as I.
c) the wy's have it
[Saix doesn't know much about wyverns, but his working theory is that they're being pushed out of their usual area by either a larger predator, or a lack of their usual sources of sustenance. While he may not be able to fix either problem, he may at least be able to figure out which it is - and if not that, take down a few wyverns to keep them from causing chaos.
He is trying to keep himself busy, really. It helps if he can do so in a useful way.
But he's quite aware that he doesn't know the area, doesn't know the creatures, and doesn't really know the world. So he can be found moving cautiously through the foothills of the mountains, claymore in hand, alert to any sounds or movements.]
d) wildcard
[If there's anything else you're interested in doing with Saix, I'm happy to roll with it! We can plot ahead, or feel free to drop a starter and we can see where it goes.]

no subject
[He looks in the direction they seem to have been running from. There's nothing immediately apparent there, at least at first.]
It also means that they knew the person or creature that attacked them was dangerous. Either they were already familiar with it, and knew it on sight, or there's something about its appearance or manner that might frighten someone.
[Though just coming up on someone in the darkness of night can be frightening... still, it's something to work with. And taking a moment to actually lay it out like that is helpful for Saix, too.]
I have no interest in finding a crew right now. I... am not sure the sort that would welcome me would be the sort I want to ally myself with.
no subject
[ Well, next to no reason. There's some things she can think of, reasons, but it wouldn't come into play here. Maybe they're...figuring something out? She's going to be optimistic about it at least! ]
I wish we had some idea of how they were doing what they did...
[ now that would really help. A part of her almost wishes she could try using her own powers on them. But what if that just made a mess?
She frowns for just a moment at what he says and falls silent for a few seconds. ]
Why do you think only certain crews would want you? Outside of the others from our world, there's nobody here that knows who you are. [ Maybe the choice of 'nobody' is intentional. Maybe not. ] You... can be anyone you want to be here.
no subject
[He hadn't heard that the victims had items stolen from them, which seems like the most obvious reason. Saix is somewhat stumped here - it's just far enough outside of his experience that he can't do much with the information they have.
Still, they do have some information, which is a beginning. Perhaps they can take whatever they've learned and pass it on to someone who might know more about this world, and about why something like this might happen.]
I can't be anyone but myself. [He says it without any particular inflection. For him, it's just the truth. With a heart he might be more willing to experiment, but... right now he's just trying to make sure he doesn't lose sight of what it means to have a heart.] And I'm not so certain that Axel and Roxas haven't told plenty of people about the things that I have done. I haven't arrived with a clean slate.
