[Event Post]

::You can pick one of the following two events. Or both, if you're kinky.

A) You can find Koyo near the beach, with a sketchbook, looking out of the waves, drawing something in said sketchbook. If you look close, it resembles some sort of Chinese or Japanese medieval warrior with a polearm. The quality seems pretty decently.

He seems wistful, the waves rolling in and out, possibly creating a melancholy atmosphere.

B) Alternatively, you can find him walking through the forest-jungle towards the area where the Sand World connected ruins are. You'll find him stopping because a fence and safety sign have been made, saying the area is off limits and dangerous.

He's sighing as if disappointed.::

Hmn, in the end I guess it's up to you whether you obey the warnings or not but... if you decide to trespass in an area here where you shouldn't be and get caught, the Academy is pretty strict.

I kinda have first hand experience of that and it's not something I'd want to repeat.

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

Then you can't understand if you don't want to take a step forward into the unknown, and feel content to remain on your placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity.

I want to know what's out there.

[pendulum_soul]

I guess we have pretty differing opinions about that, then.

I can understand wanting to take a step into the unknown, but it's also good to have a little caution.

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

You get sick of caution, especially when what is "normal" doesn't feel real.

[pendulum_soul]

...'when normal doesn't feel real.'?

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

The 'real world' feels like a fake illusion to me, most of the time. It's just so. Plodding. Tedious. Pointless.

[pendulum_soul]

*Yuya frowns a little.*

I dunno what would feel more real than... I guess, reality itself.

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

Anything that doesn't feel like a slow tedious plodding back to dust would feel more real.

[pendulum_soul]

...I guess I can't really help you there. Life doesn't feel like that to me at all.

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

Anyways, that's why I'm drawing, so I don't have to think about things.

[pendulum_soul]

Well, drawing is a good hobby to have, no matter how mundane you think life is!

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

If anything, I wish I could feel enthused as you do.

::Sigh.::

[pendulum_soul]

Well, I hope you're able to find something that brings some enthusiasm out in you. I'm sure they'll be something that'll pick up your spirits eventually.

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

... That said, what do you like best about this picture?

[pendulum_soul]

Hmn... *He looks at the picture again, in thought.* ... I really like the level of detail you put into it and the overall design is really eyecatching!

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

I'm not sure what I want to call it. Well, I do, but it's the strangest thing.

[pendulum_soul]

Oh? What is it that you want to call it?

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

::Marks it with 冀望皇. That's. Almost the same as Yuma's " 希望皇" Hope.::

I don't know why I want to use such a rare spelling of "Hope", nor do I know why I'm pining. Hm.

I'm probably overthinking it.

[pendulum_soul]

*Yuya pauses for a moment, recognizing the similarity, but he figures it's just a coincidence.*

I really like the title.

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

Why?

[pendulum_soul]

I really like the word 'Hope'. I guess in a way it sort of symbolizes having faith in something, that things will become better.

Though I guess if you want the simple reason, you spelled it similar to how my friends ace monster's name is spelled.

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

I'm after the hope specifically, for tomorrow, I guess. Though...? Hrm? What do you mean?

[pendulum_soul]

Hm? About my friends ace monster being spelled in a similar way?

His ace is Number 39: Aspiring Emperor Hope. The Hope in it's name is spelled in a similar way, hm...

*He takes out a small notepad from his trouser pocket and writes down.*

Like that.
It's probably just a coincidence that you used a similar spelling though.

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

The odd thing is his is the common version, mine's one that's barely ever used... Hrm.

Maybe it's a sign.

[pendulum_soul]

A sign? Of what?
