➹third flight

[shiningascent]

[What's white and gold with feathers all over? This guy, groggily wandering about Mac Anu like he's just woken up from a very, very long sleep. ...Or maybe not very long, considering this is the kid who'd set a personal record for sleeping three years straight. Not on purpose, of course

Pit stumbles into a group of NPCs as he wobbles along, rousing some complaint and concern-- 'Is he alright?' 'Watch where you're going, clumsy!'

He doesn't seem to mind, or even notice, mumbling to himself as he checks over his Relic.]

Ooogh... I just had the biggest... longest... weirdest dream. Feels like I've been out for ages.

...'Least I'm not... [yaaaawn] A ring... this... mumble grumble ...

[twilightlegend]

[a certain green Blade Brandier notices the feathers floating around. Ah, did the other not- Oh, there he was.

Complaining about feeling like he was unconscious for ages? Something about that struck something in Link (not a nerve but not really a memory either) and gave him pause. What a strange thought it was...]

[walking up to Pit, the Ordonian gently grabs the boy's shoulders before he runs into another NPC. He's trying to be helpful, really]

[greaterspeed]

[something speedy and blue runs straight past Pit. As he passes, a familiar sound can be heard-

...

Well, that was certainly weird. Looks like someone's running around Mac Anu in circles for lack of better things to do (or as a stress relief exercise considering how he was still only level 1 )]

[shiningascent]

I mean... why have a... and no games... too many first-person EE--!

[Pit gives a small jolt in response, wings flapping clumsily as he practically falls back on Link. Don't mind him, he's still a bit disoriented!

Glancing around in confusion before looking up to spot Link and flutter a little less, blinking up at the Ordonian drowsily]

Oh! Man... I thought you were someone else!

[shiningascent]

[don't spend it all in one place, now

Well, it does serve to wake the angel somewhat along with ruffling his feathers-- he's just gonna squint at that blue light speed into the distance until it comes close enough to--]

Hey, Soniwwwbblblblb--

[Greetings are a little more difficult with supersonic winds in your face]

[twilightlegend]

[Link stares at Pit in confusion because what? What was the angel even talking about? But all the same, he's glad that Pit didn't run into a particularly big, burly Edge Punisher in front of him because really. That might not have ended well. With a smile, Link lets the other boy go]

...?

[who did Pit think he was anyway?]

[greaterspeed]

[no way, man, I need those rings to boost to victory and go Super.

YOU MEAN G-FORCES IN YOUR FACE AMIRITE?! OOOHOHOHOHO

But Sonic manages to catch wind of Pit's voice anyway (ha) and skids to a halt about a block away. Again, our intrepid players find themselves watching the strange sight of Sonic jogging happily in reverse till he was where Pit was]

Hey, Pit, thought you went back to those pearly gates! Where have you been, man?

[shiningascent]

[Ye of little faith, Link. Pit could take on that big burly guy if he tried! And his naked-inside-the-armor girlfriend!

Steadying himself now, Pit adjusts the laurels atop his head.]

I guess I wasn't really thinking straight, heh. Sorry about that! And, um... long time no see! I think. Maybe.

[the angel chuckles goodnaturedly. He wouldn't think on it too hard- what counts is he's here now, right?]

[shiningascent]

[DOOOHOHOHO you've been talking with Palutena haven't you, Sonic <8I

The angel sticks to waving til his lips are back in order, grinning brightly]

Um... to tell the truth? I think I was asleep the whole time! Or maybe not, the details are kinda fuzzy. A-anyway, don't worry about me! How've you been, Sonic?

[twilightlegend]

[please don't. Link's not sure he wants to see that also, Fuck Gaol and her reflecting my staff shots back at me]

[a smile, because it has been a while]

Rupee for your thoughts?

[because he was actually curious]

[greaterspeed]

[naaaah I leave conversing with Gods to you and sometimes Link. Most of the ones I've run into tend to be of the 'DESTROY THE WORLD' variety. 8'>a ]

Man, I know you're suppose to be an angel and all, but don't you think you're taking the sleeping cherub thing a little too far? [shrugs] But if your dreams ever take a strange turn, make sure to give me a shout, all right? Last thing I need is to find out belated that something's happened to Illumina again. [oh boy, shuffle party for all]

And you know me. Running round at the speed of sound, got places to go, gotta get this game to let me level up! Skill systems shouldn't be this hard to work with.

[shiningascent]

[ But Link what about that Great Fairy-- darling that's when you do this~

The angel looks thoughtful for a moment (rare, we know)]

You ever get that feeling where you're awake, but still kinda dreaming a bit? I think it was something like that... so when I felt someone touch me I was all "Aaah!! A strange guy!" but it's you, so... it's cool! Heheh~

[twilightlegend]

[p-please don't remind him of the Great Fairies. Anything but the Great Fairy.... says the Club-user to the Staff-user, HELLO 8I]

... Hmm... [and Link looks like he understands where Pit is coming from. Thanks, Lanayru. Thanks, Goddesses and thank god you didn't say that to Sonic. The AoStH reference would have been impossible to ignore]

It must have been quite the dream then, to have confused you so.

[shiningascent]

[Awww, but she's really nice! E-even if she does tease me a lot, Lady Palutena is great~ （*´▽｀*）]

Illumina? What's that?

And yeah... Leveling's difficult when you're out of your element, right? Maybe they didn't think the mechanics through! I mean If I could, I'd make myself a super strong weapon and barrel my way through everything! Sounds fun, right?!

[Pit, no. That's not how the target audience works--]

[shiningascent]

[She'd be pretty commonplace back home, I mean, the Syrens used to go *~*flapping free*~* when I was a little bitty angel! :D I'll be over here with my two hit kills]

It felt like it went on forever! There was this biiiiig hall where a lot of people were gathered and showing off performances... and everything looked like it was going to be really, really spectacular! Everybody was so excited! And then... ... then...

[greaterspeed]

[you're moe enough for me as it is, Pit]

Illumina! She's the Goddess of the Maginary World where dreams are, y'know? [OH, RIGHT SO I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT HER FOR A MOMENT THERE LOL]

Make a weapon? I'd just buy or level up the skills I need and go barreling through everything. Nothing like traveling at Mach 2 over glacial waters man. Nothing like it.

... Also because Caliburn was an awesome sword. [ >C ]

[twilightlegend]

[Oh, Pit... I'll be on the opposite side of the arena, knocking people out in one go]

... [Link listens attentively, because this seemed to be something that Pit was quite animated about. The thought of people filling an entire hall reminded him of Hyrule Castle, honestly]

Then?

[shiningascent]

...Then the actual performances started, and they were... underwhelming. Like really, really... they built it up so well and then boom! Crash! It picked up a little bit near the end, but... yeah. Talk about a disaster. And everyone was really gloomy afterwards but it was still really crowded, so when you bumped me I was all "Aaaah! Nonspecific Action Figure!!"

[shiningascent]

[I'm not moe I'm manly as he-- heck]

Really?! I've never met her! I'd sure like to... maybe, next time I see Lady Palutena, I'll ask about visiting! If that's a thing. I don't know if you're really supposed to visit the land of dreams, but we've been pretty much everywhere else, so...

[getting a bit distracted by his thoughts now. Lady Palutenaaaa, why can't you be heeeere so we can go flyiiiinggg...]

[mercuryangel]

[This is definitely not how he was like at that feast.]

Pit? Are you all right?

[stolemylook]

[...let's see, how to say "hello" to an idiot without tipping off the anti-PVP in towns...]

[...kicking a barrel in Pit's direction doesn't count, right? Right.]

[shiningascent]

[He'd recover quickly enough, rubbing sleep out of his eyes when he hears that familiar voice]

Oh... Good morning, Mia! At least, I think it's morning? Kinda hard to tell here, heh.

I'm sorry I took so long adjfhsdf

[shiningascent]

[Walkin' a walk, slooowly waking up, jeez it's a pain when this place is constantly in sunsBARREL?!]

Wh-whoa!!

[It's unclear whether the anti-PVP kicked in-- Pit manages to dodge but barely, clumsily veering to the side and smacking a wing into a wall while the barrel goes on its merry way]

Yeesh, what the heck was--

Pittoo?!

[twilightlegend]

[...]

Nonspecific Action Figure...?

[he reaches forward to just pat Pit's head. It couldn't have been that bad]

[shiningascent]

I... I have no idea. Sorry~

[back to grinning brightly, leaning into the head-patting and laughing]

So, how've you been?! It's been a while, right? Anything exciting happen?

[greaterspeed]

Yea! But um... There might be problems with that. Mostly involving the Precioustone and her being split into two people? It's complicated, but I'm sure she'd like the company!

And the Maginary World was pretty awesome... [shuffle partyyyyy-- But mostly because Sonic had the ability to move up to TWELVE SPACES in one turn so like... seriously. Seriously.]
