✪ One Week ✪ [Text]

[loyal_cube]

~~☆~~
Dear Sir Gunbard and Miss Yucie,
So far, it's been a week away from home. Feels as though I'm still dreaming. This city called Discedo is more mysterious with each day that passes. It looks deserted at times but there is always chatter over the radio devices. Unfortunately, I'm unable to cast any magic. Not even the weakest of it works. I can't even summon Soraoto for items. The residents here say there is a small device placed under my that is causing the trouble. Living without any magic for a week as been a bit strange. I've never realized, before my arrival here, just how much I relied on magic. I wonder if this is how other non-magical beings feel like. It's quite an experience. As optimistic as I try to stay, I'm having trouble staying that way. The more I learn about this city's history, the more depressing I become. There was even a man here who passed on with unfulfilled aspirations because I could not provide any magical assistance at all.

However, do not worry. Not everything is gloomy here. I've have met quite a deal of friendly people here. Even the unfriendly ones are a bit interesting to talk to... even if most of them appear to have lost their minds. Miss Yucie, you would love to see the bird they have here. They're giant yellow birds called Chocobos that you can ride much like you would a steed. I can imagine you riding on one, if only to fall off. I know you could do it, Miss. Even you, as well, Master! They would be an interesting addition to a carriage, don't you agree?

As much as I wish I were home, I hope you're both getting along well without my assistance. Please pass on my regards to everyone. I really am starting to feel homesick.

Sincerely,
Cube

Good Morning, Discedo!

Thank you Miss Iji and Miss Utena for all your help with moving the love seat! It really fills the empty space in here, making it more comfortable, to say the least. Thank you so very much!

Also, thank you so much Mr. Kanji for bringing over that spindle of thread and needle. I didn't quite use it all, if you'd like me to return the rest. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you sometime.

Mr. Vash, I hope you feel better today. Oh, Miss Gracia, I do hope the walls are a little nicer to you lately. You have me worried. I also hope you're healing well, Mr. Johnny. Please try not to get burned next time you dance.

Um, does anyone know the name of a man who recently passed on? I don't know his name, so I don't know how to explain besides he said he was dying... I want to sends my regards and wishes he rests in peace.

((OOC: Cube thinks nouvelliste is dead thanks to the brownie madness. Feel free to confuse him further, though. Tags might be slow for a few hours too.))

Wait, you've never heard of Japan, but you speak Japanese?

- I'll keep an eye out for that guy; he might just've had a few too many and started rambling.

[Voice | Japanese]

[loyal_cube]

Yes, is that strange? It's the national language from my world. Although, looking at it now... "Japan" is in the name "Japanese." Strange. I wonder if our worlds are connected somehow...

Oh, I hadn't though he may have been... drinking. He must have had a lot then to think he was dying. Thank you.

By the way, My name is Cube. What's yours, sir?

[Voice | Japanese]

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

They must be! It's just Japan that speaks the language in my world... and that's where the name comes from, yes.

It sounds like something weird was going on, anyway... hopefully he's all right!

I'm Tsuzuki Asato. Nice to meet you, Cube!

[Voice | Japanese] lol language plot holes.

[loyal_cube]

If I ever get to go home, I have to see if there is a distant land calld Japan. It's got me thinking perhaps there is or was... however I'm not very knowledgeable on the history of the Human world.

It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Asato. I hope he's going to be alright. I'll keep tuned into this device in case I recognize his voice...

What's Japan like?

[Voice | Japanese] Aren't they fun? XD

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

You're not from the human world? What's your world like? That might explain it, actually -

Haha, just Asato is fine, or Tsuzuki - whichever you prefer! Most everyone I know just calls me Tsuzuki. Tell me if you spot him around, okay?

It's ... gosh, hard question. The cities are big and populous, but there's a lot of history, especially in the more rural areas. It's getting pretty Westernized these days, especially in the big cities. Uh... there are four seasons, and lots of great scenery, especially with the cherry blossoms in spring and fall leaves in the autumn.

[Voice | Japanese] *nodnodnodnod* YES

[loyal_cube]

Ah, alright, Tsuzuki. I'm having a hard time adjusting to not addressing people so formal.

No, I'm from the Demon world, originally... Well, I suppose you can say there are many worlds... There is a Human world, Fairy world, Spirit world, Celestial world, and Demon world. I lived in the Human world with my Master and his daughter. They're all very different from one another. Human world is very beautiful. The cottage I stay in is a little ways from town, near the mountain and close to the river.

You world sounds fascinating! But what does Westernized mean? Oh! We have four seasons as well. Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. Cherry blossoms? I think those grow in a different kingdom then ours, but I do know of them. Do you have festivals as well? The human world has quite a few. Most memorable is the Harvest Festival, which only comes once a year.

[Voice | Japanese]

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think we are from different places... There are quite a few worlds where I'm from too, but they're not quite the same as what you're describing.

Sounds like a nice place, though!

Westernized... uh, well, it means it's got a lot of influence from other countries to the West... and to the East, really, given that America's east of us. It's funny when you think about the words we use for that...

We've got plenty of festivals! Different ones in every town, though there are a couple of big ones that everyone celebrates.

[Voice | Japanese]

[loyal_cube]

Makes me wonder, still.... if your world was ever connected to mine.

I completely understand. There are some magic items that sound opposite of what they really do. It can become quite confusing at times.

I like it in the human world because of all the festivals. It's the best time to get treats like Choco-Choco. When the harvest festival is happening, children wear costumes and the streets are lined with carts full of items, food, and games. At the end, the Fireflies of Seven Colors illuminate the sky. We get the best view from up top the hill, where the cottage is.

[Voice | Japanese]

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

Maybe! It's hard to tell, though I'm pretty sure it's not connected now.

Your festivals definitely sound a lot like ours! Masks are a bit more popular than full costumes for kids, but we've got the street carts and - do you mean fireworks? Explosives that shoot out bright colors in the sky when they blow up?

[Voice | Japanese]

[loyal_cube]

Masks would be a neat way to celebrate too! I only know masks for masquerade Balls and things... although I've not had the pleasure to ever attend one.

YES! You know them! Fireworks, hm? That's pretty amusing because ours aren't made of fire but of magic. However, I suppose your world doesn't have magic, so it'd have to be different. They sound the same, though. I'm very excited to know our worlds are so much a like!

[Voice | Japanese]

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

Balls can be pretty fun too. How can you not like any party that comes with dancing and a buffet table?

We've got magic back home, but we don't use it much for entertainment. Which is funny when you think about it: it always draws a crows...

Yeah, if they weren't connected, they've sure developed along the same lines. ♥

[Voice | Japanese]

[loyal_cube]

They have buffet tables? I suppose that makes sense. It'd be nice to attend one someday... though my chances are slim. You never know!

You do?! [His voice becomes more excited] Everyone else I've spoken to doesn't have magic in their world! That's wonderful news! We don't use ours for entertainment much.... [He stops, thinking.] Then again, that depends on your definition of "entertainment." A lot of demons use it to harm people, and that entertains them.

I agree! There is no way to think they hadn't.

[Voice | Japanese]

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

Of course they do! It's the best reason to go! - at least to the Earl's. He has the best caterers. Wouldn't think it to look at him, but Watson's quite the cook....

Yeah, your world... sounds a whole lot like ours. And I wouldn't call that entertainment, myself.

[Voice | Japanese]

[loyal_cube]

You're making me hungry! Who's Watson? Is he here in Discedo? I know a little about cooking, but I mostly just help out in the kitchen... Master does all the cooking. It's his favorite hobby, I think.

I don't' find it entertaining, either... even if I am one.

[Voice | Japanese]

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

Nah, he and the Earl aren't here. It's definitely for the best, though. The Earl's got a much more important job than mine! I do a bit of cooking myself, but around here nobody's got enough seasonings to make it worth the trouble.

...You're a demon? I-I mean. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing, but you seem so nice...!

[Voice | Japanese]

[loyal_cube]

No job is more important! Even if it feels like it, at times... What was your job back in your world? ...Do you have a job here?

[Cube hesitates for a moment.]
Well, believe it or not, some residents of the Demon World are friendly. Although, the majority are not. Thank you! You're very kind too. I prefer the Human World. Besides, I can't imagine leaving Master and Miss.

[Voice | Japanese]

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

Well, back home it's a bit complicated to explain, but here I'm working with the police force.

I can believe that! I mean, I've kind of tried to keep my distance from the demons back home, so I pretty much only see the ones who show up to make trouble. It's a biased sample. I bet the human world's a lot easier on the nerves - and it sounds like a really nice part of it that you live in.

[Voice | Japanese]

[loyal_cube]

You're working for the police? That's great~! I was so relieved to hear there was police force and other officials with laws... specially with all the... well... not-so-sane people around...

Both worlds have their good and bad, like all worlds. Although, yes. Where I live is normally very peaceful, but we get the random "strange happenings" and attacks too.
What are the demons like in your world? I'm just curious. I mean, depending on how Satan-sama feels, it can be just about anything in my world. He's not all bad if you got to know him... which most never do. Because hes the King of the Underworld... Even though Princess Glenda is a bit scarier most times. It's a strange place compared tot he human world, I suppose...

[Voice | Japanese]

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's nice that there's so much organization here. Honestly, I'm not the most... effective of the officers, but I'm glad there's something I can do to help people out here.

Well... like I said, the demons I've seen were the nasty kind. Possession, murder, sealing contracts with kids' lives, and so on....

[Voice | Japanese]

[loyal_cube]

You're probably a lot more efficient and helpful then you give yourself credit for. I wonder what I should be doing to help...

[His voice can barely be heard]
That's so horrible...

[Voice | Japanese]

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

Haha, don't I wish? Repeat that to the department secretary if he ever shows up here. Maybe I'll finally get that raise ♥

...Yeah. Sorry.

[Voice | Japanese]

[loyal_cube]

Sure! [He giggles] As long as he isn't too scary!

N-No! It's alright. I'm sorry. I just... forget sometimes... how Hell is like for non-demons.

[Voice | Japanese]

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

Well, he's scary sometimes, but he's a nice guy on the inside. Deep inside.

...It's the same way where you're from?

[Voice | Japanese]

[loyal_cube]

I believe there is good in everything. It may never be seen but it's there.

Well, the "Demon World" or "Hell" or "Under World," whichever you wish to call it, is all the same place for conjuring terror and inflicting punishment. Although, most times I've come to find the worst things aren't born in hell. Satan-sama is the King who resides there with his daughter, Princess Glenda. Sometimes we joke and say she's more of a demon then Satan-sama. It's quite amusing how tough she is on her father. Even Satan-sama has his good side, although Princess Glenda doesn't appreciate it. However, I digress... just talking about it makes me long to visit there in a peculiar way. [He giggles]

You have demons in your world, so, have you been to Hell?

[Voice | Japanese]

[cinnagami.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think you're right. I just wish people listened to it more often.

Hm... definitely different, yeah. And I've never been to Hell. It'd end up being, uh... kind of an issue politically.
