(no subject)

[It is a nice day out with a warm breeze, the crystal, blue water stretching out in every direction, and vultures circling overhead. You find yourself drifting across the waters in a small life boat. It still has its two oars so rowing is an option, but with the expanse of blue in every direction where to go may not be an easily answered question.

Ah, and yes, one Tyki Mikk is with you draped over the edge. Hopefully, he isn't sea sick.

Yo ho, mateys!]

[Not to mention their powers keep them clean and dry most of the time, at least on the skin.]

I had someone but they recently died due to our clone sickness. [He was really fond of that girl, or as close as someone like him could get. He sniffs once he gets there and heads right towards the pig, poking it to check the skin. Just going to slip his hand inside for the tastier meat.] Hmm.

Ah. I had forgotten about that. And don't drop dead on me now. That would be awkward.

[Gives a new meaning to the words 'finger food'. A bit tough for being on the fire too long, but still good.

Tyki is going to come by and watch as he does that and eat his fruit.]

Only time I've ever gone even close is when I went comatose and that was a full memory update and a headache. Only once though. I've seen pests drop more than that. But dropping dead, not a chance.

[Doesn't it? Tyki isn't wearing gloves, so he'll get hands on it with, pulling it out and chewing on it. Yeah, a bit tough but good.]

Mm.

Honestly. That is more than a little unsettling.

[Just shakes his head with a grin.]

Would you like to at least take it off the fire?

I try not to think about it too much. If I do, I go off the deep end, especially when I think of Road.

[She's gone twice and both times it has hit him hard enough things turn sour fast. Especially the last one where she gave him her remaining time in that event when he was sleeping...]

Would be best. [It doesn't take much effort to pluck it free, and afix it to something else.]

[You need some quality Noah to stick around, man. Pauses as if going to say something, but dropping the subject. If the places were reversed, he wouldn't want to speak about it much either.]

[And just going to let you enjoy that finger food.]

You enjoy that as I take a look around the other houses. Unless you have any objections.

[Losing the Earl wasn't as hard as losing Road. He really would like it better if there was another Noah, even Cyril and his close contact.]

Hai, hai. Just don't go to far. [He's enjoying this finger food, ocassionally adding something sweet from the barrel to it to add to the flavor.]

Right. Right.

[Tyki will wander in and out of the various houses. He'll even pass a crude looking knife to the other man as he walks from one to the other.]

They all seem to have left in a hurry the way things are set up. Definitely didn't pack up and leave.

I wonder what spooked them.

[He looks down at the knife and runs his fingers over it. It looked rather taken care of.]

I wonder if it was something dangerous or maybe a passing boat? That is if they aren't native to this place.

Something dangerous. Now wouldn't that be exciting.

[Leaning against a tree as he waits for the other to finish eating.]

They left in that direction. We could check when you are done. No need to hurry since they already have a head start.

It kind of makes me curious. If it is actually something dangerous, where are they running to or are they just endlessly running?

[Licking the edge of his fingers when he finishes, he'll use a half bucket of water to rinse off his hands.]

Alright. It shouldn't be that hard to catch up.

My, it is nice to have someone appreciate a little of the unexpected.

[They wave bye-bye to the town of good eatin' as they follow the tightly packed and many sets of footprints until they reach a clearing where the footprints simply stop in front of an altar. The altar is crude and made of stone. Four pedestals roughly in the shape of some four legged animal support each corner. Three are in a bowing position while one is rearing up.

For those with supernatural senses it feels odd and definitely has a residue of strong magic. For those without, it just looks bizarre.]

A portal?

In our case it is a little cheating, but I don't mind.

[Even with senses, that definitely looked a little bizarre. Tyki without fear steps forward and kicks the edge of it with his toe, tapping it lightly. He rubbed the edge of his hair near his scalp, messing up his hair in thought.]

Doesn't look like the Ark, but maybe?

Depends what is on the other side.

[Touching it will get the air above the alter to shimmer like looking through water. Tyki walks up and sticks a hand in it. It disappears and he is able to pull his hand back without any loss of limb. A grin spreads across his face. Yes, this will do nicely.]

Shall we?

[And by shall we, he gives the other a push in first.]

You do have a point.

[He watches the area above and looks at the water like effect, then down at his arm disappearing. Tyki made the mistake of moving closer for an inspection because then he was being pushed. Oh thanks, other self.

Tyki didn't even get a chance to retort before falling through.] That was dirty. Why do I trust you again?

You trust me? Now that is good to know.

[He follows behind shortly enough. And the first thing of note is how everything is gray scale in here. Here being some sort of broken down Greek archway with nothing but mist ten feet out. It should be cold or at least gives the impression of it, but it doesn't have a temperature at all. Just as bleak and unmentionable as the coloring.]

Though I really should stop leaning over things around you.

[He's just sitting there on the floor from where he was pushed, having decided that regaining his footing was the least of his priorities. His head is tilted back to look at everything, hands curled into the ground for that proper brace.] Now doesn't this seem inviting.

It might be wise.

[Though he is leaning over the man now as he takes in his surroundings. Truth be told, Tyki is still much more interested in him than any landscape. Might even attempt to curl a hand lightly in his hair.]

Loss of color? No. Not at all. Probably something nasty with large teeth waiting out there. Though you wouldn't be afraid of that, would you?

[He has quite a lot of hair still even if he's trimmed a bit since he last saw him. He's been keeping appearances for the most part so it's not an entire huge mop head, even if it is still messy. He'll just give him a look at him down it.]

Not really. The most dangerous thing out here is probably you and I.

[Moves the hand from hair to his chin to tilt face. Ignoring spooky place? Yeah.]

It takes some of us quite a long time to realize that. How very good of you.

[Touch is not a foreign thing to Tyki as he chooses it. From a family member, his guard isn't automatically up. But this is starting to make him a little curious.]

I don't see how it would take them a while. They should know that quickly.

[Then will he be allowing Tyki to dip his fingers into his throat?]

Maybe they hit their head one too many times.

[Now that's the thing. Whether he allows it or not, his fingers could technically dip into his throat. At first, he may not allow it right away.]

What are you doing anyways?

[It could, but manners taught me to ask first and then take by force when the answer was no.]

Just seeing exactly where your limits are.

We have limits?

[He's not really denying him access. The first sign of any yank and he wouldn't be able to touch anymore, but for now, there's nothing resisting. It's such a far question seeing as he knows he has some limits. More personal ones.]
