[ota] it's time to move on, time to get goin'

Who: Yusei Fudo ([personal profile] planetary_bonds) & Genjo Sanzo ([personal profile] smithandwesson) & you!

When: from right after the gala up to the first week of january
Where: olympia, wyver, and the woods in between
Warning(s): yusei's naked in the last prompt. nothing sexual, but it happens.



[a. wyver scum] - olympia business district

[Something doesn't feel right here. He can't quite put his finger on it, but he's starting to feel more and more uncomfortable walking the streets of Olympia. At first, he thinks it's the excessive decoration that was put up for the gala still lending a rather austere air to the whole place, but even after that starts being taken down he feels on edge. Like he's being eyed with disdain.

Catching some dirty looks from people who think he can't spot them makes him realize that it feels like being in Neo Domino City all over again, where the mere glimpse of his marker alerted them to his being from Satellite and left them free to eye him with all their scorn. The feeling of being judged and reviled, through no fault of his own...

His feeling is only confirmed when he's found trying to negotiate with a vendor who had received his repairing services just last week. Said vendor is being ambivalent about the whole thing, at first responding to Yusei like he's merely making a joke, then pretending to not recognize him. Yusei watches said vendor's eyes slowly harden as the conversation turned haggling turned argument drags on, until they eventually spew a harsh insult, demanding for Yusei to leave at once before they call the guard.

Yusei glances around, spots other people all looking at him that same way, with that same thinly veiled dislike, as if he's tainted, unclean, a nuisance to be swept away and forgotten. He grits his teeth, scowls, then slowly walks away, murmuring to himself.]


What's...going on...?

[He's unaware that this whole thing is simply due to wearing Wyver's pin at the gala, even if he barely competed in the competition itself. Such a minor thing doesn't even enter his mind - he barely remembers such a small detail.]

[b. up and at 'em, time to go] - olympia residential district

[When he does figure out that his less than positive reception from natives is from such a simple thing, he can't help but question the mindset of the average Olympian citizen. Receiving a survey causes him to toss the paper in the bin with disgust - it's nothing but one-sided propaganda when one reads between the lines, almost daring citizens to think of Wyver with antagonistic feelings while bringing up Olympian pride. It only cements the feeling he'd had that started a long time ago when touring Wyver for the first time - this place, as hospitable as it had been at first, felt far too much like Neo Domino City. Maybe now would be a good time to make good on his promise to Sanzo - he feels bad about leaving in the middle of repairs, but at this point the citizens are nearly done, and they won't take his help anyway...

There wasn't much in his apartment to begin with after Sanzo had left, but he still takes the time to pack up what little personal effects had been left behind by the monk during his frantic escape, as well as the small cache of tools and parts he'd acquired over his time in Olympia. Even with how little was left in the apartment, however, it still takes time to load the half-completed rickshaw-motorcycle, especially when he has to fill the spare gallons of water he's carrying for the journey. It's quite the sight, honestly, watching Yusei pack up, and it's actually got some local citizens glancing aside curiously.]


[c. over the river and through the woods] - south outpost and the surrounding area

[Honestly, the journey goes smoother than imagined. Yusei thought that being incomplete and powered by steam, the bike would have some difficulty handling the journey to Wyver. But going through the South Outpost (and he can't help but feel a little bitter passing by it, when just a week or so before a celebration of unity had been held right in this spot) means he has smoother roads to follow, and other than some side-eyeing by the local guards he hasn't had much trouble.

Honestly, the only real problem is that he has to refill the tanks more often than he's used to,
steam power really doesn't allow for long distance travel, and so every five or ten miles he has to stall the engine and get out to grab one of his spare water tanks...and find them frozen. Great.

Maybe travelling through the countryside during such bitterly cold weather wasn't the best of ideas, Yusei thinks ruefully. At least he's getting better at making fires, though. Anyone passing by on their own quest might be grateful to stop for a brief moment of warmth.]


[d. naked as a new year's babe] - wyver

[The weather is significantly warmer in Wyver (at least during the day), compared to Olympia and even his increasingly warm journey down past the South Outpost. Yusei's been finding himself grateful for this recently, especially as of now. Why?

Because he's strutting around naked in the closest thing Wyver has to a public town square.

Granted, strutting is exaggerating things a bit...but it's definitely not overstating the truth to say that he's in the buff (and...quite buff, actually), carrying nothing on him but a rather large sign.]


I AM AN OVERLY OPTIMISTIC LITTLE MAN-BABY WHO THINKS PEOPLE ARE PERFECT AND INCAPABLE OF MAKING MISTAKES. FEEL FREE TO POINT AND LAUGH.

[It's definitely an...attention getting sign. Judging by the deadpan expression on his face, he's not particularly happy to be holding it, either. Whether he's actually walking around or sitting crosslegged in the middle of the square, he's definitely giving people quite the eyeful, and explaining his predicament to the locals gets him...surprisingly, not scorn, but amusement. After all, this all happened because he lost a bet regarding the nature of humanity, and anything that affirms the idea that Olympia isn't to be trusted can only be a good thing, right? Great first impression to be making on the locals, Yusei.

Some of the locals seem to even be congratulating an odd-looking monk that's observing the shenanigans nearby and - aha. Of course. To those who know him, finding out that Sanzo may just be involved in this wouldn't be much of a surprise.]

[ As aloof as Reign may appear to be, he too was starting to sense the veiled tension underneath all the Olympian hospitality in regards to their neighbour Wyver. However, most of the time those small occurrences flew over his head, since he wasn't the recipient of such looks. And he had seen the way some of the Olympian citizens looked at a few of the refugees, even explicitly refusing to do business with them.

Reign didn't quite understand what made the citizens of Olympia react in such a manner, since the refugees weren't Wyverns. But his attention was taken by the sight of a strange looking vehicle, and a closer look had him spotting a familiar face. ]


Yusei! This is quite a lot of things you're packing. Where are you going?

[personal profile] eaudevamp 2018-01-10 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ It certainly looked like Yusei was moving, but where to? And the change of expression on Yusei's face didn't bode well for Reign.

He blinked in surprise, eyes narrowing slightly in confusion. ]


What? Why? Isn't it too hot to live there?

[ Not that he was going to stop Yusei or anything, but he was genuinely curious. ]

[personal profile] eaudevamp 2018-01-10 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, well, that's true.

[ And now that got him really curious. ]

What kind of promise, if you don't mind me asking. [ His expression then took on a leering grin, and he playfully elbow nudged Yusei, winking. ] A special someone?
eaudevamp: (ᴜɴᴄᴇʀᴛᴀɪɴ ᴍᴏᴅᴇ)

[personal profile] eaudevamp 2018-01-10 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ It seemed that both their definition of "special" was quite different, though no less similar in some manner. Seeing Yusei with that kind of smile was a rare sight, making the man look... kinder. Less stoic. ]

How so? Have they done something to anger the people of Olympia? Are they a refugee too?
eaudevamp: (ᴄᴏɴᴛᴇᴍᴘʟᴀᴛɪᴠᴇ ᴍᴏᴅᴇ)

[personal profile] eaudevamp 2018-01-10 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ Reign shook his head, brows furrowing in worry. This sounded like an important incident that he'd missed for having woken up after it happened. ]

No, I'm afraid I've not heard much of anything. When my batch of awakened refugees were sent down here, we arrived in Wyver. I don't know all the details, except that something horrible occured, and Olympia had to ask Wyver for assistance. What happened?

[ In all honesty, Reign had been busy trying to settle in, and though he knew the simmering tension between Olympia and Wyver, he knew nothing more than that. ]
eaudevamp: (ᴛᴀᴋᴇɴ ᴀʙᴀᴄᴋ)

[personal profile] eaudevamp 2018-01-10 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ Reign's expression gradually morphed into one of disbelief and shock, unable to comprehend how innocent people could be proven guilty without a trial. Then again, it was something he was quite familiar with. The humans in his world had no rights of their own, considered properties of their vampire rulers, made to be servants or mere food. ]

I'm sorry to hear that. But to not have the matter thoroughly investigated... I thought the Olympian government had more sense in them. If it wasn't for the sake of this acquaintance of yours, will you move to Wyver as well?
eaudevamp: (ʟɪɢʜᴛ sʜᴀᴅᴇ)

[personal profile] eaudevamp 2018-01-10 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yusei's words felt loaded, and Reign wasn't certain if he was ready for the answer either. For all of Olympia's welcoming hands, there seemed to be sinister undertone beneath it all, one that was disguised in the form of smiles and kindness. ]

You wouldn't still be here if you were part of those coerced into the illegal shipping. So...

[ He waited, letting Yusei choose whether to reveal his predicament to Reign or not. If only he knew about the consequence of those harmless looking faction-pins during the gala. ]
eaudevamp: (ᴛɪɴʏ sᴡᴇᴀᴛ)

[personal profile] eaudevamp 2018-01-11 07:23 am (UTC)(link)
...what do you mean by that?

[ The thought that Olympia was reminding Yusei of some unpleasant memories, giving the man such a feeling, made Reign feel conflicted.

In fact, he wasn't quite sure he should feel now in regards to the two factions. He'd only come to Olympia because of the cooler weather and how welcoming the citizens had made him feel after travelling from Wyver.

Now, he wasn't certain any longer. But he still wanted to know Yusei's thoughts. ]
smithandwesson: (no you know something is wrong)

D because obviously! (Open to threadjacking if anyone wants to give Sanzo their opinion on this)

[personal profile] smithandwesson 2018-01-12 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Sanzo, on the other hand, seemed to being enjoying his own cozy spot on a near by bench. Watching the festivities with interest and Yusei strutted to the fullest extent he could in his birthday suit. If anything this was quite the way to start the day.

It also helped that he was enjoying quite the meal during all this. A platter of grilled meat and a large bowl of noodles placed in front of him, he looked as content and happy as Genjyo Sanzo was capable of looking.
]

Oy! Why don't you dance for the crowd, brat? Standing there is putting your charming audience to sleep!

[And with that he reaches into his robe, pulling out a squeeze bottle of mayonnaise and applying it to the stew.]
eaudevamp: (ᴡᴀɴᴇ sᴍɪʟᴇ)

[personal profile] eaudevamp 2018-01-12 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ Hearing Yusei said those reminded Reign instantly of their first text conversation, and he knew just what his friend meant in regards to the difference in social status, the discrimination, the way eyes looked and stared, being treated like a worthless being.

Reign may be a vampire, but being an "abnormal" also meant he was treated almost the same way as humans. Perhaps not so harshly, though the same couldn't be said of other vampires like him. He reached a hand out, gently placing it on Yusei's shoulder in an attempt to offer some comfort. All this was so strange for Reign, and he hoped that Yusei could take some solace from it. ]


I... [ 'Sorry' didn't sound enough of an apology. Besides, it wasn't Reign's fault. So instead he said: ] Can I come visit you at Wyver?
eaudevamp: (ᴄʟɪɴɢʏ ɢʟᴜᴇ)

[personal profile] eaudevamp 2018-01-12 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yusei was right in that regards. Besides, neither of them were native born in this land. Something was happening here, and it wasn't just simple animosity. Reign had to wonder what had happened that caused the two factions to become the way they did.

Hearing that made Reign smile, his mood lifting up. Yusei may not be one with many words, much less a myriad of expression, but Reign could see the gratefulness in the other's gaze.

Before he could stop himself, Reign wrapped his arms around Yusei in a tight hug. ]
No, don't worry about that. I'm so glad you're letting me come visit you. [ The hug was brief but heartfelt. ] I'm certainly glad I came upon you before you leave.
eaudevamp: (ʏᴀᴋ ʏᴀᴋ)

[personal profile] eaudevamp 2018-01-12 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ Reign should know better than to be so outward in his affectionate displays. What if Yusei didn't like it? Or had some averse reaction towards hugs?! But it seemed his friend was all right with it, though Reign made a note to be more careful.

Still, Yusei was smiling, so all was well in the world. Reign didn't like to see anyone sad, much less those he considered his friends. He returned the smile with a wide one of his own. ]


That's good! I'm worried if Wyver would one day disallow those travelling from Olympia, but I guess I'll think about how to deal with it when it happens. Anyway, need a hand to help with the packing? Or are you mostly done?
eaudevamp: (ᴡʀʏ sᴍɪʟᴇ)

[personal profile] eaudevamp 2018-01-12 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
If Olympia continues to treat their refugees the way they did to your friend, Wyver isn't going to like the sudden influx of so-called "criminals" and may just end up closing the borders. I hope such a day wouldn't come.

[ Reign gave an uncertain shrug, not liking where this line of thought was going. But he tried to summon up a smile, not wanting Yusei to worry more than he needed to. ]

Well, if you're all packed up, I don't mind accompanying you to your new place.
