Hello character limit, my name is Mandie.

Character: Kratos Aurion
Fandom: Tales of Symphonia
Player name: Mandie

[That was it. It was all over, he'd given every last bit of his mana to release the seal on Origin. Now he can finally rest.

That's what Kratos had been thinking before opening his eyes and finding himself in Vatheon, at least. He tries to suppress his anger at the fact that there's an afterlife, instead wondering if he can hope to find Anna here. It doesn't look like hell, at least, so maybe, just maybe sacrificing himself had been atonement enough...]

I'm horrible

[radiantwingedone]

[ It takes Duke until after getting more seed to decide he should wander back over to the man.

'You have very odd Mana' isn't exactly the best way to start a conversation - or even a "why do you feel so strange" short discussion. ]

... a reason, why you still remain aware yet so little mana? [ On second thought that was no better.

No one ever said Duke was good at starting conversations. ]

[fatherlineface]

I do not know. I am dead, I think.

[He looks at his hands. Everything feels so solid, and it hurts. Can a person even hurt when they're dead? It's not making much sense, and he just wants to fall asleep and never wake up.]

[radiantwingedone]

Strange. Feel alive enough. [ Although he's checking - only not physically, just more or less poking at Kratos with mana. ]

[fatherlineface]

Are you not dead as well?

[He looks the strange, androgynous man over. It's possible that this is what a true angel of heaven would look like, so perhaps Duke at least is not dead.]

[radiantwingedone]

....... Expected result, did not come to pass.


[ What no. ]

[fatherlineface]

Is this not the afterlife?

[Kratos is horribly confused at this point. He tries to stand, putting a hand on the coral to brace himself... and feels better, suddenly. It occurs to him then that he shouldn't be able to feel his body if he's dead.]

[radiantwingedone]

Vatheon. Have not heard that theory, but unlikely. [ Oh, hey. You have mana again.

And it's still very weird. ]

...Strange.

[fatherlineface]

What is "Vatheon"?

[He actually doesn't care where he is, what this place is, or what might happen to him. The questions are simply a four thousand year old habit, a need to gather information about situations.]

[radiantwingedone]

Location; under the bubble and the isle above. Supposedly brought by the coral. [ there's a slight nod at the 'sky' when he says 'bubble'. ]

[fatherlineface]

[Brought here. Kratos frowns and crosses his arms uncomfortably, trying to work out Duke's words. He remains silent for the time being, not asking further questions as he mulls over the information he's been presented with.]

[radiantwingedone]

[ That's okay, Duke's fine with silence.

He's still trying to figure out why Kratos' mana feels so odd, though. So don't mind him being all eerily statue-still over here and staring in the vaguely correct direction, but not quite like he's focusing on Kratos.

Dude. Your mana is weird ]

[fatherlineface]

Do you require something?

[Being studied while he's so out of his element is disconcerting, thank you very much.]

[radiantwingedone]

[ Duke hasn't noticed that it's disconcerting. He's still trying to figure out what's up with the mana. ]

Require; no. Curious; yes. [ and back to trying to figure out what was quite so odd about it. ]

[fatherlineface]

[Duke has been informative enough, so Kratos can indulge a little. Depending on the question, at least.]

What is it you wish to know?

[radiantwingedone]

Mana; yours is very.... [ Can he get a good word for this.

Stupid human language. ]

Strange. Human enough, yet dissimilar to the Children of the Full Moon, Kritya or Entelexeia for the oddity. Assuming the temporary lack has to do with believing to be dead. Uncertain, partially irrelevant if purposeful by your hand or another's. [ Yes, straight Duke thought stream. Decipher it, or ask him to repeat and make more sense. ]

[fatherlineface]

[This man being able to sense mana is a little bothersome... he doesn't quite understand what Duke is trying to say, but he gets the gist of it - he wants to know about the Cruxis Crystal, basically.]

That is a personal matter I am afraid. If that is all?

[radiantwingedone]

Hmmn. [ Fine. Duke won't verbally poke - But he does give the mana a last swirl to get the best feel of the other's as possible. He'll figure it out. ]

Where my curiosity lay. [ So yes.

But you're something moderately interesting - for a human - and Duke's curious.... ]

While brought here, 'daily' items are free. World specific require purchace, but housing and food do not. [ He'll turn to go now. ]
