♔ THE EMPEROR (002) [Video]

[emperor_with_no_groove]

[As big and wondrous as Asgard is, Akihiko won’t turn down the chance to explore a new place – maybe even find some additional challenges along the way.

Besides, in all honesty, it will be nice to get away for a while, and try to take his mind off of all the heavy stones weighing down on him.

Akihiko greets the network with a friendly grin, determined to show optimism and encouragement toward others, as usual.] Showcase our talents, huh? So they wanna see if we can win this war without our original powers.

[He lifts a clenched fist just then, in a display of strength and resolve.] Fine with me. Come on, guys! We can take this challenge! Let’s throw out some ideas. What’ve you all got in mind to show ‘em? And this Vanaheim place – have any of you ever been there before?

[He lowers his fist after a moment as his expression softens a bit.] Oh, and for people that wanna stay here, help us take care of things till we get back, okay? [There’s at least one person in mind that he isn’t sure about, as to whether or not he will want to go.] But don’t worry, we’ll convince ‘em for sure!

I was there less than a night. When I tried to say something I was told to got back to bed, it like everyone says time freezes until you get back...

[He didn't seem to get what she meant. It wasn't the easiest thing to explain though.]
If someone who wasn't human is brought here then they get turned into a human. If a normal human explodes after getting there powers, what happens to someone who wasn't human to begin with?

[emperor_with_no_groove]

[…Damn. He got a little overexcited there.] So… nothing moves forward back home? That’s… huh. Hard to believe, you know.

It sounds kinda… restrictive. Where you live, I mean.

I guess the same thing would happen to them too. [Akihiko still sad about not having Caesar anymore, but couldn’t keep him and stay alive at the same time, so… He couldn’t very well protect people if he stayed dead.]

Hey, does that rule apply to animals too? [He’s thinking of Koromaru.]

[lookingfordragon]

But I remembered everything so thats something... To the person I talked to I'd been asleep the whole time, they thought it was a dream.
[Thats what mister Urahara said anyway, and she couldn't tell what he was thinking. Hopefully the gods wouldn't give her powers back, especially if she couldn't exist here. It was still worrying, but there wasn't a lot she could do.]

Hm, not sure. I haven't seen a animal here other than the native ones. But I did see a lady with a fish tail, she said she couldn't breath underwater anymore.

[emperor_with_no_groove]

[He nods thoughtfully. It’s definitely something worth fighting for, and gives him every reason to gather as much information as he can, from this point onward. If he can just find out more about the future…]

Yeah, it’s gonna be hard to convince anyone about this world. Especially the part about… well, bringing people back from the dead.

A fish tail? [He blinks in surprise.] That’s pretty interesting… She could walk and everything, though?

[lookingfordragon]

I wonder how they do that?
[That will always bug her, death is really different to her home.

She had a funny chair with wheels on... it rolled around.

[emperor_with_no_groove]

Oh, I asked one of the gods. He said it had something to do with souls and spiritual energy… I don’t think it’s something we can do, unless you already had that ability back home.

[He is way more surprised, than irritated, by that idea. Especially considering who the gods brought back.]

Were the wheels big? Like, a wheelchair? People who can’t walk usually use those.

[lookingfordragon]

Really? I don't think anyone back hope could do anything like that... [Even the head captain didn't mention anything about he probably had the spiritual energy too... But it wasn't his job to bring people back.

Oh... that makes sense, the name.

[emperor_with_no_groove]

[His expression darkens a little at the mention.] Same here... Once people die, they stay dead. But it's... different here.

Anyway, I've gotta run and get in some training before we leave. I'll catch you later... Uh, sorry, what's your name?

[lookingfordragon]

It doesn't work that way were I live...
Not quite anyway.

Huh, oh sorry. Matsuri Kudo, my brothers name is Fujimaru let me know if you see him. [Theres a slight bow.]

[emperor_with_no_groove]

[Not quite, huh? He'll have to ask her what she means by that... later.

Oh, Japanese customs... He will be polite with his address, then, just in case. He isn't sure how old she is, after all.]

I will, Matsuri-san. I'm Akihiko Sanada, by the way. [He bows in suit.] Nice to meet ya.
