Who: Zidane Tribal and you
What: Zidane meets with Legion, checks up on Tim, has a moment to himself and then gets into trouble with his Lorby
When: Various dates
Where: Enso mostly
Warnings: None yet!
.Backdated to 30th March - Legion
[Well, this seemed to be the place. South of the temple and the camp. Zidane had no idea if this area would be a good place for a theatre once it was cleared of monsters but it would still be worth checking out. Also, Legion seemed nice, if a little weird and it would be fun to spend a bit of time with them.
So he waited, seated on a rock nearby. To pass the time, he started throwing one of his knives in the air and catching it for fun. Because he was a show-off.]
After the aging event ends - Tim
[Well, to say that was bizarre would be a massive understatement. First, being trapped under a volcano and having to escape, then trying to save others and then being turned into a child by the volcano ash? It was a lot to take in. There was a lot to think about and honestly Zidane felt he had been on the island for much longer.
However, now was not the time to process this. He had other things to do. He had to check on the others to make sure they were okay.
And there was one person he remembered who was a victim of the eruption. That man had been taken to safety but it would not hurt to check on him.
And so Zidane ended up going to the Denny and went straight to the bar. Tim owned the place, didn’t he? Zidane had been to the Denny once before – and ended up playing a video game with someone rather than ordering anything - but he was not quite sure what Tim looked like as they had talked via the stones. Either way, Tim will find a young blond kid with a tail standing right at the bar curiously looking around]
2nd May - Everyone
[Zidane had not quite been here two months yet and yet so many strange things have happened. To be honest, it felt a little tiring. However, in spite of this he is intent on staying positive. He will be fine. He’s been through far worse.
Despite what people have told him, he still believes that somehow there will be a way to escape if he isn’t whisked away home. Is he going to find that way out anytime soon? Very unlikely. He acknowledges that but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. And he chooses to be optimistic about that. Besides, he isn’t the only one who is in this situation, he tells himself. And there are plenty of things he can do to keep him occupied.
However, now that Zidane has a moment to himself, is sitting on the ground next to a tree thinking about the events of the past month, it hits him that he could be here in this strange world for a long time. Maybe years. Years until he sees his friends, his family in Tantalus, Mikoto and years until he sees Dagger again. While he takes comfort in the fact it won’t be years for them, and therefore they won’t such a long time thinking that he died back at the Lifa Tree, it won’t change the fact that he is so far away from them.
“Just like you protected us, we want to protect you.”
Hmm. Maybe he should talk to someone? Zidane knows that he’s not exactly famous for coming to people when something bothers him. And he knows it’s something he needs to change. However, the fact that he does not know anyone well enough to have enough courage to talk to them. Not yet, anyway.
So Zidane tries something else. When Dagger felt lonely or sad, there was a pretty song from her birthplace that she would sing. True, the song is completely unrelated to Zidane’s own birthplace (well, his birthplace wasn’t home to him for many reasons) but it is related to someone very important to him. So he tries humming it.
Nearby, Blank is doing a little exploring, seeing if he can find a few critters to chase around and eat. But then he stops and hears his friend’s humming. Blank might not know the reason for it but he does get the impression that his friend is sad for some reason. And so he goes up to him chirping and tries to put his head underneath.]
H-hey!
[That took Zidane by surprise that he nearly loses his balance. He knew that Blank was nearby but he did not expect the creature to come up to him like that. Blank, however, keeps nuzzling him and Zidane starts to laugh, scratching the lorby’s head. He still maintains that Blank is cute. In a weird way.
It does, however, remind him of something he read once. About some animals detecting the emotions of humans. Well, okay, human didn’t apply to Zidane Still, maybe Blank did realise that the young thief was feeling slightly down? Either way, Zidane feels calm and elated right now. He smiles at the lorby.]
I dunno if you’ll understand this buddy, but you know what? I think I feel a little better. Thanks.
[Someone passing by might have heard him humming. Or might just happen to see him with the weird snake-like creature with an owl face.]
3rd May - Everyone
[Thanks to seven year-old Zidane’s antics, Blank had learnt a new trick – how to snatch other people’s food stashes when nobody was looking. Unfortunately, that habit did not end when the effects of the volcano ash wore off and now sixteen year-old Zidane, has to train him out of the habit. He may be a thief and some of his morals were a little screwed because of that but back home, his targets tended to be nobles. And taking food from people who were struggling feels like kicking a puppy.
So do you have food outside? Or is your window open? Because a lorby might poke his head and try to grab that delicious meat or whatever you left lying around. And there will be a blond teenager with a tail running up to him, looking very annoyed. Quickly, he whistles and says.]
Hey, Blank! What the heck are you do-
[But it’s too late. Blank has gobbled up the food in one gulp. In exasperation, the young thief sighs and kicks the ground]
….Awww dammit. Not again.

Anyway, I came to check up on you after uh......all the stuff was happening. [Namely the eruption and Toriel saying that Tim had fallen unconscious.]
no subject
"Check up" on me? I'm...I mean, other than the weirdness of the past few days, everything's settling back to how it was, more or less. [He wasn't aware of how much about his condition Toriel has shared with everyone else. rip.]
no subject
Yeah but Toriel told me what happened to you back at the volcano so I just wanted to check. Didn't really get the chance until now thanks to all the other things going on. [But he won't elaborate on that.]
Anyway, good to know you're in one piece at least.
no subject
[His mouth compresses into a thin line. He's not exactly pleased about this - but he's not surprised, either. Why would it matter? Why wouldn't she say something? Naturally, she'd panic, wouldn't she?]
[She wouldn't know this is normal.]
Wasn't really that big a deal. Happens sometimes.
no subject
However, as concerned as he is, if Tim doesn't want to talk about it, Zidane won't push it. He'll just have to check up on the guy. Maybe he should change the subject.] However, what matters is that you're still standing. [And he glances around to see if there's any menu. He is kind of hungry, come to think of it.] Anyway, you open?
no subject
Yeah. We're pretty much always open. 'Cept for the last couple weeks, when I wasn't old enough to run a place that serves alcohol. [A joke, albeit a wry one. That's the only kind of joke he knows how to make, usually.

[What've they got here...give him a minute.]
We got...dried mango. Some jerky? Think it might be tigershark. Coconut cookies, 'cause when don't we have those.
no subject
no subject
[He starts rummaging around in search of the stuff, and eventually comes up with a basket of it. Double-sniff test ensures that it's still in good condition, which means it was probably only recently transferred to the basket in the first place. Good.]
[He sets down the basket at whatever table is closest to Zidane.]
What's up?
no subject
no subject
[Dried meat lasts, and it's hardy. It'll keep people for a few hours.]
There's a few buildings around on Ensō that're in...you know, they look like they could use some work before you'd put anything there. If you cleared the tables and chairs outta here, you might have some space.
But if you wanted to start fresh, I've got tools. There's some lumber around to use for that, too.
no subject
Hmmm. I've had a look at some of the ruins if you're talking about those. I still haven't decided on a location though. Haven't really had the time yet. [Island exploration and events got in the way.]
But tools could definitely come in handy! I'll keep that in mind.
no subject
[He'd rather be present to make sure his tools aren't being misused. Might be uncharitable, but he poured a lot of stories into those tools. He'd rather not see them broken if he can help it.]
