Who: Yuya and you!
When: S2:D28-32
Where: Carnival Grounds
What: Yuya wakes up with a couple new changes, and general carnival shenanigans
Warnings: Proooobably none?
[Balance Beams]
[Yuya woke on the 28th with no trace of Creation in him—just a little reminder on his face, of tiny stars around his cheeks and eyes that shine in the light gold of his soul color (and his other fae mark looks lighter as well.
He has a new appendage.
He’s not exactly happy about it—a thin, lizard-like tail in iridescent orange scales that’s about as along as he is tall. His tail isn’t big, so it doesn’t shift his center of gravity too much. Still, it’s just enough that Yuya notices it when trying to practice for the upcoming performances. He’s left slightly off center, and that’s not going to do in front of an audience.
So he’s taken to long hours in the big top, using the only inches high balance beams with very thin widths to try and orient himself with his new tail. Sometimes it flails wildly or Yuya teeters one direction or the other with his face pinched in concentration. He makes it to the other side easily, but it’s not as smooth and refined as he’d like it to be. If you’re walking by, try not to get smacked in the face, the legs, the anything.]
[Magic "Practice"]
[Alternatively, now that he no longer has his Guardian abilities, Yuya’s back to fairly typical magic practice. He’s got his staff out by the training area, using the glowing crystal at the end to draw various patterns on the ground.
Smiley faces, that is.
This is absolutely practice. It’s rune drawing practice or. Something.
They don’t last more than a couple minutes, but there is a constantly moving pattern of smiley faces (smiley suns, smiley flowers) going across the open field.]

Don't worry, I know it was for something really important! [Creation and saving the world and helping his friends and all that.] You just had to be small and cute for it.
[And Yuya has permanent proof of that. He makes it to the end of the beam, then nimbly twists on his feet and starts walking the other way across it.]
no subject
Regardless.] W-Well! It is good that I, the man Gongenzaka, will not require that form if we need 'Creation' again...
[...He hopes. He can't really 'ask' Creation what their boon is or will be. Hrm.] With any luck, beyond what was spoken about on the radio, things should perhaps return to a state of 'calm' at least...
no subject
Still, everything was all right in the end. Most of it was really nice, and he'll definitely remember the people there fondly.
Yuya hops off the beam once he makes it to the other side, where Gongenzaka is.] I think Creation needed us... It's everywhere, isn't it? But I've never felt it until there. It's the same with the Void--that could happen in any world.
[Including theirs, is the obvious implication. Yuya kind of hopes it doesn't.]
no subject
...Certainly, your words are true, but that is not quite what I meant..!
...When Creation left us, I, the man Gongenzaka, heard and felt something which remained behind, [he explains, quite serious.] Yuuya...
What I, the man Gongenzaka, am saying, is that I believe I could potentially call out to Creation, if the need arrives..!
[Pretty Cool]
no subject
That's great! [It is, in fact, pretty cool.] It's like Creation has your back, right? Like... if you're in danger?
[Even if Gongenzaka wasn't picked as a Guardian (although as far as Yuya's concerned, he would have been equally good as one), Creation still saw what he did. It's still willing to help, and even if Yuya doesn't quite grasp what an overarching metaphysical concept it is, he appreciates it.]
no subject
Isn't 100% certain how it works.] Auh...I suppose that is how it would be, yes...
...Certainly, if I, the man Gongenzaka, were to call upon such forces...it would be unforgivable to do so if the situation was not most dire..! A true waste of the right!
no subject
[It's something best relied on with intuition. Hopefully, something like that won't be necessary anytime soon.
Much like the anticipated revival spell, but Yuya's lost track of the days and near forgotten Gongenzaka needs to renew his contract.] Were you looking for me?
[There's not a lot of reason to patrol around the big top when performances don't start for hours, anyway. Unless being deputy means double the patrol? He hadn't considered that.]
no subject
[He did well enough without before, he will admit. That said. He blinks, and then coughs.] HMN!
That is correct..! I, the man Gongenzaka, had to wait a short time before bringing it forward...however, my contract in fact completed over one week ago..!
[Well. That's quite...a thing.] As such...I, the man Gongenzaka, have spoken to the Ringmaster-you remember what we agreed on, I hope..?
[Otherwise this is about to get Alarmingly Awkward, Yuuya.]
no subject
[The revival egg for Yuya, in exchange for another year of service for Gongenzaka. Yuya starts mentally counting up the days he's been here--four months? Five? Shoot, he should get a calendar or something, but it still offsets their contracts by not quite half a year, and--]
... Uh, you wanted to do that now?
no subject
[Especially with risks that cause in-house fighting, as it were. ]
no subject
[That's an invitation, so he gestures for Gongenzaka to lead. He knew this was coming, and there's no need to ask if he's sure. Yura knows the answer to that.]
no subject
no subject
[He pauses.] I heard you want to find the other fae artifacts, too. You know, you don't have to just because you for promoted.
[Did Gon say he did? No, but Yuya's just making sure.]
no subject
[He coughs, and then rather abruptly turns to stare at Yuuya.] Mnh-!?
Y-You assume I would do such a thing, simply due to a propmotion..!?!
no subject
[He assumes Gongenzaka would because he's a good, helpful person who must believe it'd be for the good of everyone in the carnival.
But the whole ordeal with the Prince still feels like... too much. Having to go through something like that again makes him anxious, his shoulders tight and tail twitching for a second.]
no subject
...Are you alright, Yuuya?
no subject
He clenches his fists.] The other two are probably going to be even worse to get.
[Even if the suffering is the same, to go through it again makes it harder.]
no subject
Aah, [he finally agrees.] ...That is quite likely the case.
...I do not doubt the Ringmaster considered this long before she presented the idea, either. [No doubt it's been on her mind since the Manor's end, if anything. He remembers all too well the progression of events on the ballroom floor.]
no subject
He really wishes those powers stuck around.]
no subject
...And having seen Nightshade while in Wismuth... ....I, the man Gongenzaka, doubt they will simply avoid the Carnival if we choose to have only the rose.
[Whether they found for themselves one of the other two before attacking, or simply waited until their guard was low, it was a danger. A danger that could not be ignored.]
no subject
[And the rose was bad. It was really bad.]
Me: oh right two of these incidents killed gon huh-
...I, the man Gongenzaka, cannot say I entirely agree with what is to be done...but at the very least, we can work to make certain the process involved with the rose does not repeat this way.
[It was bad. It was the worst. He doesn't need the reminder. But-] ...Within such a short time, things have become...truly dangerous for us all, [he half laments, turning his gaze away.]
...The rate at which this has occurred... ...Rose or none, [he adds, grimacing.]
...I, the man Gongenzaka, would rather we be ready for what arrives this time, than simply allow it to come to us again.
[It has happened twice with the vampires. And if the Ringmaster's mood at the manor proved anything, then the Manor itself was yet another example. Not to mention Portland, as well as what lurked in hiding while they were in Wismuth. There would be no preventing it, and Yuuya himself has only seen the recent brunt of it from Portland on.
Danger would find them.
Better to face it upon their own terms, this time.]
no subject
You're agreeing to another year of that. [He doesn't have to remind Gongenzaka of that, either. But saying makes it morereal, he thinks. It makes it heavier.
It's heavier for him, too. But everyone is scared, and everyone wants to be stronger for next time, because it's always about the next time.
After a moment Yuya lets out a sigh, his head and shoulders drooping. He knows this is something Gongenzaka won't change his mind on. It'snot like his idea is wrong, it's just not what Yuya wants to see. Selfish, he knows, and that's why he won'tfight it any further.]
no subject
...I, the man Gongenzaka, do not intend to leave you here alone so that I can pretend all will be at peace in my absence.
And if I am to do that, then at the very least, let us make certain you as well are ready for when 'it' comes.
[This isn't about him being stronger, after all.
It's about both of them making it out alive. And to that, he brings his paw-his still flesh hand-to the other's shoulder.]
Yuuya. Let us move onward, hmm?
no subject
After a moment he turns back around, slipping out of Gon's hold as a result to continue forward.] Right.
[He stuffs his hands in his pockets, letting the silence carry between them for a little bit.]
... I was thinking about asking the Ringmaster if I can do a contract that's shorter than a year, after this.
[The reason should be obvious: right now, he's the first one set to complete his contract of any of them.]
