Ashiya Hanae ✻ The Morose Mononokean

[personal profile] ashiyan 2018-07-31 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[a]

[Picture the scene: it is a bright and sunny day in the National Park. People have come from everywhere to relax in the sun, play with their kids or even have a Pokemon battle or two. And on one of the park benches sits a young man eating a melonpan.

Ahisya hasn’t been here long, and he doesn’t really understand much yet, but if this world has melonpan, it can’t be that bad.

A coo catches his attention. Wiping crumbs off his mouth with his thumb, he glances to the side to spot a Pidove sitting on the back of the park bench, staring at the melonpan.]


Hello. Wow, I guess you even have pokemon that look like pigeons here.

[A coo and Ashiya’s eyes drop to the bread in his hands.]

Oh, you want some of this?

[Another coo.]

Well, I don’t mind sharing.

[Breaking off a small piece, Ashiya holds it out on the flat of his hand, smiling when the pokemon pecks the pieces of melonpan off his palm.]

Nice, isn’t it? I guess everybody loves melonpa— oh. Another one.

[With a flutter of wings and a coo, a second Pidove lands next to the first.]

A friend of yours? Well, I’ve plenty for all three—

[A third Pidove lands on the bench.]

Uh, four of—

[Five. Six. The cooing is getting louder.]

Wow, there’s a lot of you guys, uhh—

[The Pidoves keep coming. They keep happening; gathering around Ashiya like vultures around road-kill, their beady eyes on the prize.]

Wait, wait. [Ashiya’s getting nervous. Really nervous.] There is not enough for— Where did so many of you come from?

[The coos are loud now. Very loud. Ominous.]

Time out, time out. I’ll let you guys have this one. You don’t have to—

[The Pidoves are out of patience. As if given some invisible signal, they attack at once, all descending on the melonpan.

Ashiya screams.]

[Oh hell, there is a boy on your screen. Ashiya is looking relaxed, but there is something serious in his expression too. He's loosely got his arms crossed over his knees, as he regards the camera. A Hoppip sits on his head, humming cheerily as it plays with his hair.]

I know this might sound like a weird question, but hear me out, all right?

[Ashiya breathes in. Back home, he wouldn't be able to ask something like this. People would think he was insane. But here... there are so many people from different worlds, and he can't help but wonder.]

Has anyone else ever seen a demon?
unwantedgirl: (Oh um!)

[B]

[Of all the things she was expecting to find being asked on the network, this wasn't one of them.

Then again, she had just asked about Fae not that long ago so she was really one to talk.]


...What do you mean by demon exactly?

[Because the word can meet a lot of things and describe a lot of various creatures from her world so she's not sure how it would apply to yours.]

[personal profile] ashiyan 2018-07-31 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[A valid question, really.]

Like a supernatural spirit or creature. [is that helpful?] Uhm. Like a Kappa or a Tengu, though they can come in all sorts of shapes. Even a Capybara. People usually can't see them, so they think they don't exist.
unwantedgirl: (Sigh)

[personal profile] unwantedgirl 2018-07-31 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. Then I've seen them and others. Fae in particular. Banshees, grims, ariels, dragons..I've met a lot of different creatures that most people can't see.

[Excuse her casual way of saying it. It's just how she is.]

So casual!

[ He wonders if this girl is perhaps somewhat like Abeno-san, if she has been dealing with these creatures for so long, it has become her reality. But then again, all their worlds are different, aren't they? Maybe this is normal where she is from?]

Is everybody like you where you come from? I mean, can they all see creatures like this?
unwantedgirl: (Thoughtful)

[personal profile] unwantedgirl 2018-08-01 01:55 pm (UTC)(link)
No.

[Chise shakes her head.]

Only sorcerers and mages can. [A pause.] Some others can but it's rare and just depends on the circumstances.
abenope: (ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS)

[Silence.]

[Ashiya is screaming. But that's just another Tuesday, really. Just another day for the two humans involved with the Mononokean. Which is probably why the screams don't get much of a reaction from the other young man watching nearby.]

[There's a Sensu Oricorio on one shoulder. She looks about as unamused as he does. But she hops down, wings fluttering to scare the Pidoves away from Ashiya in a flurry of adorable little dance moves.]


You should know better than to feed pigeons bread.

[Wow, Abeno. So much concern.]
ashiyan: (ғʀᴇᴇsɪᴀ  ✻  ᴄʜɪʟᴅɪsʜ)

[personal profile] ashiyan 2018-07-31 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[don't die from caring too much, wow

To call Ashiya a mess is putting it lightly. His clothes are all askew, his hair standing up in odd swoops, and there are feathers everywhere. He's probably going to be pulling feathers from his person for days. Like some sort of bird glitter. His hands are looking pretty wrecked too, full of scratches.]


There is nothing wrong with feeding pigeons! Lots of old people do it at the park!

[Huff huff.]

And they aren't pigeons anyway, they are Pidoves.

[Said with the air of a five year old someone winning an argument, cause so there.]
abenope: (mmmmnononokean)

[personal profile] abenope 2018-08-01 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
[This is the field in which he grows his fucks, Ashiya. You will notice, it is barren.]

These aren't normal pigeons.

[The clearly isn't said aloud, but it's there anyway.]

... That's what I said. All the more reason to be careful. These aren't demons.

[If you die, then he's never getting you to pay him. Come on Ashiya. Oricorio continues to dance until all the Pidoves have left, and then hops up to examine Ashiya. Nope, he's alive.]

[Well, it's not Ashiya's fault, Abeno is a shitty gardener!

When Oricorio hops up onto Ashiya's shoulder, he turns his head towards her for a moment.]


Thank you, I'm fine now thanks to you.

[Gotta be polite, after all. And she did help him out. Unlike some people.

He pushes to his feet with a little hups, trying to tuck his clothing back into some semblance of order.]


I know they are not demons. But look, everybody here loves these little guys. They let their kids play with them. I think you're being a bit too cautious, Abeno-san.

[Says the guy who nearly got killed by a flock of Pidoves like two minutes ago.]
abenope: (don't put that in your mouth)

[personal profile] abenope 2018-08-01 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Oricorio chirps. And flutters back over to her trainer. Preening herself primly. Said trainer's expression doesn't change.]

Someone has to be. Who would save you from birds, if we weren't?

[He tucks his hands in his sleeves -- which looks ridiculous when he's not... wearing the kimono he prefers. If this bothers him, he refuses to show it.]

Let's go.

[personal profile] ashiyan 2018-08-01 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Crap, Ashiya can't argue with that, so he'll just focus on the other thing.]

Where are we going?
abenope: (crrraaaawling in my skin)

[personal profile] abenope 2018-08-01 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
[He just shoots him a look. Where do you think they're going? He couldn't leave until he found you. If Ashiya asked, he'd say he wasn't allowed to. But -- anyone and their mother probably knows he just couldn't leave this toddler boy here by himself.]

Back.

[He's going to go find a door or a wall to use.]

Cottonball! Use Cotton Guard!

[Just as the Pidove coordinate their attack, a fluffy Altaria steps in and fans out its cloudy wings to enshroud Ashiya in a veil of protection. It causes the Pidoves to bail out of confusion. Kazuki then joins the fray, waving his arms to try and dissuade them.]

Break it up guys, break it up! No attacking people for Melonpan! It's not sharing if you try to take it from him!
ashiyan: (ᴘɪɴᴋ ʀᴏsᴇ  ✻  ʜᴀᴘᴘɪɴᴇss)

[personal profile] ashiyan 2018-08-01 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
[At the first sign of attack, Ashiya had ducked into a small ball on the park bench, his arms over his head to protect his valuable nogging. But no attack materialises. Instead, he feels the very softest touch of... are those feathers? as something moves across him, and from behind the protection of his arms, he can see a dude shooing the Pidoves away, until the whole flock of them scatters, taking off for nearby trees with annoyed coos.]

I'm saved!

[Is he crying, he is absolutely crying, that is just what Ashiya does. If his emotions are anywhere below a four or above a seven, he cries.]
forsaintcecilia: (excuse me what are you doing)

[personal profile] forsaintcecilia 2018-08-01 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Honestly, I'm not really sure what an Altaria's wings are made out of, but they are really good at raising special defense! Once the Pidoves begin to to dissipate, Cottonball tucks them away, and lets out a soft, pleasant cry as she turns to Ashiya. Are you alright, silly human?]

I know they're really cute, but you can't feed the flying types around here! [Kazuki turns around to give advice as well.] They're all in gangs, and the word spreads quick. Are you okay? They didn't peck you or anything, did they?

[He's kinda worried, because he's crying...]
