fishes out my dissertation about how these two are so funny in juxtaposition

[sixam]

That, I think, can also be a dangerous question. [ no. ] I'm pretty flexible though. Sometimes it's a party. Sometimes it's exploring. Sometimes it's... seeing what other people are interested in and deciding if I'm into it or not. How can you learn what you like if you're not open-minded?

[refractures]

Then let's go for a walk, and maybe we'll see if inspiration strikes us~

[sixam]

[ this is funny to him, so he offers an arm to escort. ]

On your lead then, unless you'd like me to pick a place. There are a few interesting spots this side of the terminal if you're really interested.

[refractures]

Oh, how chivalrous.

[ She giggles but you know what? She takes his arm. She's still the same height as regular Seodore... I keep forgetting Jonas is fuckin tall ]

What do you recommend?

[sixam]

[ yes i am sorry to report he is in fact tall and that's half the reason he does this. but onward! ]

Something outside, obviously. Pretty sure we've all been stuck in this airport way too long not to. There's the hiking trails, but... if you don't mind a quick flight I think there's a place in a part of Homophonic that fits the bill. A little of everything.

[ he says this but he is starting to head that way. ]

[refractures]

Oh?

[ Her interest looks piqued. ]

A little surprise? Just for me? I look forward to it~

[sixam]

Well hopefully you like it then.

[ onto the plane they go! and it's a quick, short trip to homophonic before jonas is leading them to the tocpe district. specifically to the outer park, with all kinds of plazas and grass and pathways, a history museum in the path further down and even further still a large tower that looks a lot like the eiffel tower. ]

And here we are.

[refractures]

Oh, my. Is that the Eiffel Tower? There were so many other points of interest on the way too! What exactly is this place?

[ She looks up at the tower. ]

As in, what does this tower mean? Why was it built? I want to know sooo much!

[sixam]

This... is Tocpe. I don't remember much about this place right now, but I've been here before. It's a pretty big park, but there's a history museum around here somewhere and there's food trucks down that way.

The tower I think was just a landmark like any other. A good mimicry of the real one? Depends if you think that everything has a strong reason for being built at all.

[refractures]

I suppose "strong reason" is already subjective. Let's see~

[ She looks over at all the directions that Jonas pointed out. ]

Let's not visit the history museum.

[ She says cheerfully. Maybe she doesn't want to feel reminded of how old she is or something. ]

Food trucks sound good though!

[sixam]

[ interesting response, but he's not going to force her into that. so he turns away, heading on a path further into the park. ]

Can't go wrong with food trucks. I haven't really been to any myself lately, but supposedly the food there always tastes better? As long as it's not cursed.

[refractures]

Cursed food? Like falling in love with the nearest person?

[ Seo laughs. ]

I can't bear to think about anyone else than my lover... I think I would be so devastated afterwards.

But alright! Food truck, it is~

[ She follows him. ]

[sixam]

I'm really curious to know why that's the one you gravitated toward. But yeah, we had cursed chocolates that did just that. Made for a very messy couple of days.

[ to the trucks! ]

... your lover? [ explain. ]

[refractures]

It's just a recent example that I heard from others~ I hope things got settled. Things being messy always invites trouble, whether romantic or not.

[ to the trucks!! ]

And yup! I'm married~

[sixam]

Tell me about it. And yet some people find it entertaining to create a giant mess. [ which is how yorugate comes to be. trucks! delicious, savory food trucks. ]

What are they like? [ he's been curious since seodore mentioned his husband, and he wonders what the woman seodore has to say. ]

[refractures]

Oh, they're just about the most wonderful person there is~ I can imagine no one better than them. They are the love of my life! Some people say things like "oh that woman smokes? She'll never get married", but I am!

[ gushing does not cease ]

[sixam]

[ this is so funny. unfortunately he is a teenager so he's veering for like an ice cream truck. ]

That's the reason people say? Stupid. There're way worse reasons a person could not be married besides smoking. [ he says. as a smoker. ] And if they know that about you then who cares? You showed them.

[refractures]

Right? There are plenty of worse reasons, but really... people really hate seeing women smoke! Ahh, I really wish I could have blown smoke into the men's faces.

My lover... they know so much about me, but they keep reassuring me. Being "special" to everyone else... but just like any other person to them specifically. I love it. There's no one else quite like them.

[sixam]

Hey, when we get out of here, what's stopping you from doing that? It kinda sounds deserved.

[ but hum... ]

Sounds like you got lucky finding a person that's made just for you then. [ vaguely wondering how this fits with the seodore he knows. and he figures he will not fully figure it out either. ]

[refractures]

Well, they were just a bunch of randos, you know? Not really worth my time in full.

[ She pauses though as if thinking about something... but then she smiles again like before. ]

Just for me! Wouldn't that be grand? Like I deserve to have someone like that in preparation for everything that would happen. Give them something nice and then take it away...

[sixam]

[ hm... ]

"Everything that would happen"?

[refractures]

Oh, you know.

[ She takes out a cigarette and lights it. Her expression unreadable, yet obvious at the same time. ]

Life.

[sixam]

[ his own expression skews to something thoughtful. ]

Life. It does have a way of happening, whether you're prepared or not. Might as well try to hold onto people you want when it does.

[refractures]

Well... I was prepared for their death, but everything after...

[ She stays quiet after her voice trails off. ]

It's fine. They died a natural death.

[sixam]

It's... always something I think people don't think too much about. Yes, it's sad to lose the people we love to death, and people grieve and mourn for them or whatever. But what about the people left behind? When you think about it, that version of that person died, too. Even if you knew someone's death was a long time coming, like old age... or if they're sick. You can really only be so prepared.
