[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.::

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?

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

Something. The signs and the leylines and the system are vague.

[pendulum_soul]

...It really could be just a coincidence.
