ALSO, AS PROMPTS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION: Last month's mini-events!

Effect: Friday, July 8: Flower Gift - All day, despite the season, flowers drift down from the sky. They’re harmless, beautiful, and smell lovely, but if trainers aren’t careful, they might end up trudging through rosedrifts up to their knees before long.
Swarm: Tuesday, July 12: Spinda
Effect: Friday, July 15 to Sunday, July 17: Worry Seed - Affected characters won’t be able to get any sleep. Does that make your character cranky? Does it damage their brain-to-mouth filter? The effects can last as little or as long as you’d like over this weekend.
Effect/Swarm Double Duty: Friday, July 22: Surf - Large waves appear in all bodies of water, including things like bathtubs and your Sawsbucks drinks (it’s just bean water, you know). Be careful on the ocean, but also, hang ten, dudes! The waves won’t destroy anything, but trainers are going to get wet on this ride. Also, oh god, small jellyfish Pokemon (Tentacool, Frillish, Inkay) happen to be swarming randomly in these bodies of water. GANBATTE, VICTORY ROAD.
Effect: Friday, July 29: Haze - The forecast is misty inside and out on this oddly cool July day. Affected trainers will find it difficult to remember things, whether those happened long ago or just five minutes past. The memories aren’t gone, of course, it’s just…foggy.
Swarm: Sunday, July 31: Illumise and Volbeat

[It doesn't bother him; he knows he's a monster, even plays it up sometimes for dramatic effect. He doesn't think the way normal people think, he doesn't act the way normal people act. It makes sense. It fits him.

Except...maybe...

Maybe it no longer has to.

For a little bit, anyway.

The corners of his mouth twitch, under his mask, as an unfamiliar warmth fills his heart, twisting it...not painfully, but strongly. It does hurt, a little, but he thinks maybe he could get used to it.

It feels strange to smile, to really smile, underneath the mask. He does a lot of unseen teeth-baring and grimacing, of course, and plenty of yelling, but none of those feel quite the same as what he's doing now. Maybe she can see it in his eye; she's close enough. It's possible.

He stirs for the first time since sitting down, sitting up straight and leaning forward just a bit to hold out a hand.]

Are you ready to flay some scalps?

[...Aaaaand back to the nonsensical gibberish as usual. At least he got a few proper words out.]

[ She certainly sees something in his eyes. She doesn't immediately register it as a smile, but it's a positive enough look that she doesn't feel guilty or even self-conscious about anything she's said. Nor is she anywhere near intimidated by the man when he holds out his hand. With no hesitation, Angel extends her own, small and pale in comparison to the psycho, and places it against his.]

[She's even at ease enough that she does't flinch quite so dramatically when he bursts out. Her heart still races a little at the very noise, and she swears her ears begin to ring, but she isn't scared of him.]

[He's no monster, she reminds herself. He's a hero.]

[And a silly one at that.]

Salt all the wounds! [She feels ridiculous, yelling the way she is, but even still she can't stop smiling. It's the first time she's raised her voice, at least in a playful manner. She's heard her own bloodcurdling screams enough for her own lifetime.]

[It's time to have a little fun.]

[Her hand is so small in his, pale and fragile, he holds it as carefully as he holds his little bird. Her reply to his exclamation startles a laugh out of him, and he's grinning under his mask, not his usual manic grimace but an actual, joyful smile.]

Nahahaha! You can have the first slice!

[It's time for a lot of fun, Angel, come on, now!]

[Despite all her obvervations, she hasn't quite picked up on all the nuances of the psycho tongue. Much as she would love to continue their dialogue, she can't quite think of anything to say. Instead, she gives him just a smile, hoping it will be enough.]

I've missed you. [She's missed all of the Vault Hunters, even if, temporally, it hasn't been all that long. Dying seemed but a heartbeat ago, but seeing her friends smiling... that felt like a lifetime ago.]

August-September Testo Doraivu!
