[She settles for a more serious tone - playtime's over for the moment! Even Anise knows when to be serious.]

Not that I've seen, really... Mostly people we know, or are at least familiar with. There are a lot of red-heads, though.

[Ffff, begging. That's where we draw the line. Usually. Will there be cookies?]

[She does?]

... Really... [He appears to be relieved, somewhat. This world was certainly better than his hell on Auldrant. If it was only people he knew... then perhaps his walls might come down a bit more.]

[Oh, plenty of cookies. Just watch out for the... rohypnol~]

[Of course she does. Honest.]

Is... that a bad thing? For you, I mean?

[fdjakja run Anise, ruuuun!

... But your creeper!Jade makes me want to try an older!Anise just to see what he'll do. Or does he not swing that way~? |D]

Not at all... [And he's not willing to reveal much more on the subject, so he doesn't.] Why would three or more of you be a bad thing?

[To be honest, he's more... um... pansexual/asexual? but I'm sure an older Anise might get him going~ If you can get him away from Peony up there. They kinda, uh... did stuff. BUT THAT'S WHAT PRIVATE JOURNALS ARE FOR, RIGHT.]

Oh, not more of me - think of how much cute that would be! But, more than one Luke or Asch would be hard to handle, wouldn't it~? Or think about it - I know there's more than a couple of Dist's running around!

[Fff "kinda did stuff" - there's no need to censor their antics from Anise. I'm sure she has a vague idea - if not a clear one - of what they could've been up to. PRIVATE JOURNALS ARE GOOD TOO. /looks for older!Anise icons now.]

Too much cute for the world to handle, I presume. ... Hm. [To himself:] I'd rather have more than none...

... Yes, I've noticed. Unfortunately.

[Well, she is twelve. Or thirteen. I forgot. ... Oh~? Well, you'll have to compete with Jade's crush on Peony he's had since he was a teen~]

More than none? Well, that does make sense... [There's a beat of silence as she's putting two and two together.] ... Did something happen to the Luke you knew?

[Sh-she's fifteen, post-game? :'D And she's probably settled on that. After all, she knows that all the good men are gay. Well, in this canon, anyway. In any case, there's a lack of older!Anise icons, so that may not be happening, after all |D]

Edited 2009-09-21 12:34 (UTC)

[He didn't realize she heard him until she said something.] Hm? Of course not. Where did you get that idea from?

[Oh, right. Haha, well... He has some good reasons as to why he likes Peony. |D Aww, just fudge them! I don't care!]

Boo, Colonel. I'm not deaf - or stupid - you know.

[W-we'll see what I can manage to do |D Just - if an older!Anise appears here at the DR, it's Nocturne's fault. Yes. :>]

Oh, I never said you were.

Now, how about we go back to finding out more about this place, hmm? I'm curious to see more of it.

[I'm sure you can find black-haired, brown-eyed older girls for icons. XD Even anime ones. Okay~]

[And now she frowns, starting to get fed up with this game Jade seems intent on playing. She looks up at the much taller man, genuinely concerned.]

Something happened to the Luke you knew, didn't there? Colonel...

[I blame you (http://www.livejournal.com/allpics.bml?user=fonmasterpink). :|]

[He looked down at her, frowning somewhat.] ... Really, Anise... If you wish to know the truth, then you've been warned.

Asch... As a result of the contamination effect, the Big Bang... He was the one who was revived. I only found out soon after Eldrant's destruction. I was working on some fonon research, particularly how to go about without the Planet Storm, when he... found me. He was severely wounded, supposedly from his "death" and... begged me to sin again. [He turned away, closing his eyes.] I was able to preserve the replica's memories... but he died not long after, and it sparked a war between Kimlasca and Malkuth once again...

Peony... He died because of my foolish actions. I... couldn't save one person. Not one... [He hated explaining this to so many people... but it was a sign he trusted Anise.]

[I THINK I LOVE YOU NOW. You did such a good job~ I can't believe you found those icons!]

But - what...? Asch made you-... but after everything we did-! He was... I thought he was on our... [Her small hand darts out to catch Jade's wrist in a perhaps-perhaps-not trembling grip.]

And the Emperor, too... Oh, Colonel...! [And she latches onto him in an embrace - because he's been suffering all this time, hasn't he? All alone. She can't even imagine what it would be like if all her friends disappeared, one by one by one...]

[I just cropped some of the j!art I managed to find |D I'm really no good at genuine iconmaking XD]

[He smiles weakly at her stuttering, sighing and reaching down to pick her up and hold her. It wasn't something he normally did, but then again, since when was Nocturne normal?]

The Score on my Auldrant couldn't be changed. I hate to say, but Van was right... and also died in vain. I've come to understand quite a few things about how the planet works, though now I'm not so sure they apply to anyone else's. ... I'm all right, Anise. The people I know are here: you, Luke, Peony... For the first time, I'm happy. It's just... jarring... to end up here and have to let go of my past so quickly.

[He carefully stroked over one of her pigtails. He really didn't appreciate the people he liked, did he...? Maybe now he could change that.]

[Oh god, you don't want to know what I have planned... I wanted to make a Luke, but make him like... AU or a crossover, and uh... Two words: Sailor Auldrant.]

[Her small arms freeze a little, when he actually returns the embrace - she's caught off-guard, so unused to that kind of display of affection from the Colonel. But she stays in his arms, moving only so he can face him better.]

An Auldrant that's chained to the Score... That means - even Ion's death was... [Her voice catches a little bit, and she turns away for a moment. When she looks back, her eyes are resolute.] Colonel, if you're happy here - you can't possibly go back. That kind of Auldrant... It's... You have to stay here where you won't ever have to lose us again, okay? Because in this world we're not ever going to leave you! [Her logic may be childish, but she means well. Jade, we want you to smile more often - we want you to be happy.]

[And she smiles a little when he strokes her hair like that. She thinks that this kind of affection will probably be a one-time thing, so she'll take what she can from Jade for the moment.]

[... You know, I did draw the playable-cast in sailor fukus once. I should dig up that sketch and show you |D (hivemind ftfw |D]

Edited 2009-09-24 03:15 (UTC)

[He knows this is a bit odd coming from him... but he needs all the comfort he can get right now. And he figures Anise needs the same.]

... Yes. [He appears a bit surprised before giving her one of his rare, genuine smiles, touched.] Anise... I was planning on it. [He chuckled softly.] You never change. I'm glad for that...

[He continues to pet over her hair, feeling rather... fatherly at the moment. Hm, thirty-eight and still no kids? The seeds don't last forever, Jade. He's carrying Anise back to the inn, now.]

OOC: DO IT. PLEASE. /NOTASAILORMOONFANATALL I so made Jade and Guy in a Sailor X Generator. LOL. I'll see if I can make the others and upload them. Or send them over AIM. *HINTHINT*

[She can't admit that to herself - that she needs someone just as much as any of her friends do - so the fact that Jade is giving her that just by letting her hold onto him like this is doing wonders for her. She'll tighten her hold on him in gratitude, but if asked she'll vehemently deny it. Because she can be just as stubborn as you, Jade~]

Well, good. I wouldn't let you leave if you were planning otherwise, anyway! And I do too change, Colonel. At least, I will! I'll grow up to be just as sexy as Tear, you'll see. Boo.

[Despite her words, she's smiling pretty brightly. Jade seems happier, and he's carrying her without complaining about his old age and for this moment, she's just happy that he is, too. So she'll behave until they get to the inn, we promise.]

[ooc: I can't say no to you, can I? |D Here you go (http://i34.tinypic.com/qstvk4.jpg)! It wasn't finished (obviously, since Tear didn't even make it in there D|) but maybe I'll fix that soon |D]

[Oh, he knows she can be stubborn. He'll deny ever doing this for her, the bastard. But he knows that deep down, Anise is just a little girl who was forced to grow up far too fast... Just like the rest of them, children that were forced to be adults far too quickly... It's why everyone was so hard on Luke and Natalia. If they insisted on playing adult's games, they would have to play by the adult rules... And not that Jade would ever care to admit, but they had come a long, long way.]

Hm? I never knew you to be so clingy, Anise. ... Oh? Then maybe you'll have a chance at marrying Luke, mm? Once he stops trying to romance Asch, that is. Perhaps you'd have better luck with a woman...

[He is happier, quite happy, to see his old friends and push away the insanity of his home planet... Oh, we all know he's the most physically able of all of them. He pushes and pulls boxes with one hand. And who was the only one not hacking up a lung after reaching the top of the Tower of Rem?]

OOC: Here (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v655/Sapphire_Siren/1218a.jpg) are your (TOTALLY NSFW) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v655/Sapphire_Siren/1218b.jpg) pictures as proof. AND I... I THINK I LOVE YOU MORE... Do you have ANY instant messenger? ;; Btw, making those senshi as we speak~ My computer totally crashed. And I got another surprise for my next post, too~ FAIL TAGS ARE FAIL. I NEED EDITING POWER.

[For all your badassery and awesome, Colonel, you can be a huge jerk :( But we love you anyway. ♥ And at those words, she'll just cling tighter - if anything, to spite him. But more because she's just happy to have him smiling and joking like he usually does.]

Luke? Nah, I know he's got it bad for Tear - probably the only girl he'll ever have eyes for, considering how he is around Asch and Guy. And you, sometimes. [Have a heavy sigh, Jade. One that doesn't sound right on a little girl - she shouldn't be despairing over anything at her age, after all.] And boo, why would I look for another girl? There's got to be some guy out there for me-! [She ends that in a determined tone - just begging to be shot down or encouraged. What will you do, Colonel?]

[ooc: Ahaha WHY AM I NOT SURPRISED |D And ffff, they're just random sketches and I should probably add Tear soon when I have time xD Abyss!Senshi will be awesome! Better than the Abyssman outfits for sure B) Also, my AIM's on Anise's userinfo, if you still want it :) I'm online at odd hours, mostly because. Um. Twelve hours into your future, ahaha. D:]

[Well... He is a Magnificent Bastard, after all. He doesn't seem to mind the hug, feeling in a better mood than he usually does.]

Hm...? Oh, she's not the only girl. You just mentioned Asch, didn't you?

Oh, me...? [He gives her a small smile at the sigh.] Hm, I really can't think of any other rich me--ah, hold on... I think Astor might have been looking for a suitor...

Of course, knowing you, you would be the poor, sobbing widow after your husband died in some terrible accident... and left with the entire estate. [He decides to mock her, what else? If Guy were around, he'd certainly be more encouraging.]

OOC: BECAUSE. Fffff no they're amazing. YES DRAW TEAR. I'll upload all that stuff today. My laptop keeps freezing, though, so I'll post first and then get to work on that stuff. I don't mind~

[She giggles at that. Asch and Luke as women - it's just too funny~!]

You probably shouldn't let them hear you say that~ But that would take half the fun away... But oh, I bet they'd look so good in dresses! ♥

Astor, huh~? Now that's not such a bad idea~ And it would be just terrible if he suddenly met an accident-! I don't think my young heart could take that kind of tragedy, especially after everything I've seen over our journey~! A sweet little girl at my age, too! [Is she being serious? It's kind of hard to tell.]

[She does, however, pause for a moment. And when she speaks again, it's definitely more serious and insightful.] Though really, Colonel. As it is, I won't find anyone for me... Which, honestly? Might not be that bad, since I'm going to be the next Fon Master anyway. Well, hopefully. If things go according to plan! ♫

[OOC: looking forward to that upload! B) And ahh, I'm sorry I'm so hard to reach and so slow to tag. :(]

[Yes, yes, very funny. But true.]

Hm... Indeed. [Quietly, to himself:] I should get Peony on that...

Now, now, it will be all right. [He knows she's not being serious at all. Since when are Jade and Anise ever serious?]

... [They finally reach the inn, and he sets her down on the bed.] Is that so? I'm sure you'll make a fine Fon Master. [And he's petting her hair again. He rather missed his Anise and his friends... He had no idea where Guy was after the attack on Grand Chokmah. Natalia, Anise, and Florian had been busy trying to stop the war... Tear... She was the hardest hit. She and Jade had lost everyone close to them. He hadn't seen her in months, nor had he been terribly close to her. But for Luke's sake... He had only seen her when Luke had died a second time, and she seemed almost beyond herself with sadness...]

OOC: Here's (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v655/Sapphire_Siren/talessenshi.png) your Tales Senshi. <3 Aw, no, it's okay. I'm still working on the other thingy I told you about. XD

EDIT: Uh, that picture was a little smaller than I intended it to be... Ah well, you can still see it. XD

[She gives Nocturne a grateful smile as he sets her down, and sets about removing Tokunaga from her shoulders. She's untying the yellow ribbons from her hair, as well, as she continues chattering away - perhaps it's to distract herself from being so tired. It's been a long day, after all.]

You really think so, Colonel?

[He just watches over her before turning away and appearing ready to leave to let her sleep.]

[And in a rare moment of sincerity:] I do. Get some rest, Anise.

[She's sitting up, under the covers and giving Jade's turned back a look, before settling down under them.]

... I will, Colonel. You too, okay?

... Does this at least come with benefits? Like health insurance? A share in inheritance?

Mm... You'll be one of the few I don't destroy; how about that? |)

We still want a cut of your inheritance money.

Oh, fine. It's not like I'll be doing anything with it.

SCORE! B) I mean, thank you, Colonel! <3

Mm. But you'll be out a husband...

With all that money, she may not need one!

Oh, so lovely to see you care about me, Anise.

Oh, but Colonel! You're our favorite guy! :>

Oh, no. I know you're lying. Guy's your favorite Guy. As for MEN... /Jadetotallycan'tbemacho

Aha, that's true. You got me there, Colonel. :o

You can do anything, can't you, Colonel~?

Or anyone. ... Oops, did I say that out loud?

It's true, though. Jade can be universally shipped with anyone. Just like Guy |D
