[That gets a raise of John's brows.]

How d'you mean? Like fighting in your village?

[ She gives a small shake of her head. ]

Not exactly. I mean, we did spar with each other, but on the world where I grew up, monsters would attack travelers.

Sometimes, not even because we were in their territory.

[ Surprise #1: Sheena's from a different world. ]

[He had seen some mention of her not being entirely human somewhere, so that doesn't come as a major shock. Although it's still unexpected.]

What other reasons did they have to attack you? Just... being arseholes?

[ Oh good. Just wait until she mentions the whole "Summoner" thing not just being her display name. ]

Or they were bored. [ She starts chuckling. ] No, seriously. There were times when we were traveling that they would just watch us go by. Then other times, it was like they needed something to do, so they came after us.

Well, idle hands. [Except she might not know that expression.] Uh, idle hands are the devil's playthings. Have you got a devil in your world?

[ She tilts her head as he cuts himself off. Such an interesting saying. ]

A devil? Well, we have something called "Devil's Arms" that are weapons connected to someone named Nebilim who put a curse on them when he was defeated by their owner. Does that count?
jumpthegun: (confused | that's not right)

action

[personal profile] jumpthegun 2016-12-22 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
[... What?]

That... would depend on where he got the word 'devil' from for it. Have you got Christianity? Or Judaism?

[ Welcome to her world.

She pauses to think before shaking her head. ]


I'm not sure. We might have a long time ago, but a lot of records have been lost. [ Or destroyed. ] Mostly it's been the religion of my village and the Church of Martel.

Would the devil be a demon, by any chance? The man who told us about Nebilim was from a family of demon-hunters. It was his ancestor who defeated Nebilim.

Uh... sort of, I guess? Demon works. The devil's more like the one in charge of demons in Hell. [That's not important. He's getting off on a tangent.] The saying, it just means if you've got idle people, they'll find something bad to do with themselves for whatever reason.

[ She tilts her head. ]

Boss of the demons? Hmmm. [ She's about to continue when he explains the saying. Shaking her head, she looks at him quizzically. ]

Why does it have to be something bad? Why can't it be something good?

[ Sorry, John. ]

That's... it's just what the saying means. [Look, Sheena, don't ask him to deconstruct human nature.] I think it's more just one of those sayings parents or bosses have to make their kids work or their employees work harder than they should have to.
ninjainviolet: ([Think])

action

[personal profile] ninjainviolet 2016-12-29 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. [ Sorry, John. At least she's not Raine. There probably would have been even more questions.

She thinks on his explanation and the rest of their conversation. ]


I think I get it. Nobody wants to be a plaything of a demon, right? So do something and he won't get the chance to make that happen?

Sounds more like a way to prevent possession, if you ask me.

[ She's serious, by the way. ]
jumpthegun: (facepalm 1)

action

[personal profile] jumpthegun 2016-12-30 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
No. That's not it at all. [John holds up a hand.] It means someone wants you to get up and do something instead of sitting around and doing nothing. That's really all there is to it. We don't have real demon possessions where I'm from.

[You're making this so complicated, it's starting to confuse him, Sheena.]
ninjainviolet: ([Smile])

[ Sheena tilts her head as she listens, her mouth opening in a silent "Ah" when he's done. ] If that's all it is, it's something my Grandpa would probably love to say. He's a little goofy, but he's also pretty stern when it comes to teaching his technique.

[ She looks at him curiously. ]

Really? No real demonic possession? I've only seen it once, but I'm glad to hear you've never had to deal with it.

[ It's her upbringing, John. Makes you want to visit her world, doesn't it? ]

[John's really not sure he wants to meet her grandfather and have to explain this expression to him after the trial it's been with Sheena. He'll smile politely and make a noncommittal noise, though.]

Demons and things... don't really exist where I'm from. Nothing supernatural. I'm sorry you have seen that sort of thing.
ninjainviolet: ([Gentle Smile])

[personal profile] ninjainviolet 2017-01-16 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Nah. He's smarter than Sheena. He'd pick up on it right away.

She looks at him. ]


Not even Elemental Spirits of the planet? [ Her smile fades slightly. ] That's a little sad because those I'm not sorry to have seen.
jumpthegun: (smile | uncertain)

[personal profile] jumpthegun 2017-01-18 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
[He smiles a little bemusedly at her.]

C'est la vie. I'm all right not meeting elemental spirits. I wouldn't know what to say to them.

[ She looks at him in surprise for a moment. ]

What...what language is that? [ She had heard that phrase a few times back home and is curious.

As for his other comment, she smiles. ]


Well, "hello" is usually a good way to start. Although, Gnome's a little informal, so "hi" might work for him.

[ La la la. ]
jumpthegun: (smile | curiosity)

[personal profile] jumpthegun 2017-01-26 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
It's French. It means 'that's life.'

Never thought just a standard greeting would work. There isn't some elaborate ritual greeting with a fancy dance?
ninjainviolet: ([Smile])

[personal profile] ninjainviolet 2017-01-28 09:13 am (UTC)(link)
"French." Zelos used to say things in that language all the time. He always said one that meant "Whatever will be, will be." [ She gives John a searching look. ] This is the second time I've encountered languages that were spoken on both my world and here. I wonder if the humans on my world came from here.

[ Hey, if elves can come from space, why not humans? ]

Well... [ She chuckles sheepishly. ] I was taught to greet them in a formal manner, but when I got to Gnome, he didn't want to have anything to do with the "stuffy language". But now, after making the pacts, anyone I introduce them to just needs to be polite and respectful.

[ Which is really all they want. ]

As for the fancy dance... I guess I and my friends did that when we fought them.
jumpthegun: (confused | question)

action

[personal profile] jumpthegun 2017-01-28 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[John's beginning to wonder, himself.]

Or it might be some sort of cosmic resonance. We've got all sorts of different versions of Earth represented here, after all.

And, sorry... you danced to fight the spirits?
ninjainviolet: ([Dejected])

[personal profile] ninjainviolet 2017-02-02 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
[ Sheena, though, has another theory. ]

Well...what if people from this world actually traveled to mine the same way the elves did? There are no records of how humans came to be back home, so it's possible, right?

[ She shakes her head. ]

Not exactly--although Zelos looks like he's dancing whenever he's in battle. But that's what I was referring to. [ She was trying for a metaphor. Whoops. ]

It was so I could show the Spirits my heart. I might have had the right to make the pact, but that didn't mean they would automatically agree to it.

[ She looks away to hide the pain in her eyes. There had been one who had needed extra convincing. ]
jumpthegun: (smile | easy smile)

action

[personal profile] jumpthegun 2017-02-02 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
It's possible, yeah.

[Maybe it's even probable. John's no physicist or expert on Sheena's universe, certainly. It makes as much sense as anything else... which is to say, very little of it all makes sense.

In any case, she's looking a little sad now. John shifts topics.]


You have a very interesting world from the sound of it. Wouldn't mind visiting sometime if we get the chance after this.
ninjainviolet: ([Imp])

action

[personal profile] ninjainviolet 2017-02-12 09:45 am (UTC)(link)
[ Sheena's not much of an expert, either, but the things she's seen in her lifetime makes her believe that her theory is more than probable.

And she's going to share part of the story with John.

She gives him that impish look, grateful for the change in topic. ]


You have no idea. Right now--if we do get the chance--it's fairly easy to travel from place to place. But what if I told it wasn't because the world used to be be split in two?
jumpthegun: (confused | question)

action

[personal profile] jumpthegun 2017-02-13 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
Split in two how? [John raises a brow.] Not... physically, you mean?
