baileysummersFuck you all I’m not a sentimental asshole.
I work with the Legacy in hunting down Brotherhood in exchange for running time when they come for me.
I know they won’t, they know they won't, it's a placeholder lie.
And yes, yes I’m making my own plans.
Liking the Aeran kid wasn’t part of the plan and that’s because while he is an expert at controlling his shit the rage and addiction Rick Summers has real pain.
And even a bullshit expert and assassin and con artist like me can feel the real deal in there.
Rick’s place hit the shitter.
It was transmitted and it’s on the Net now and that’s on purpose, blood in the water, paranoia on both sides and it smells like someone planned it all.
Who? Not sure that’s a level and area not in my expertise.
Instead I took Kelly and we go upstairs and Kel is like this Seriah I keep hearing of a strong reader and Kelly has a psionic aptitude as well for weaponry and she’s decently trained and a hacker.
We go up and to my cargo squat up there and I pull stuff I need and she will and I go off and we go and we hit food wholesale warehouses and disable the GPS and cameras and we just drive off with whole trucks all gassed up and ready to head out to the stores and I go around all night stealing and lifting shit and parking it in an abandoned warehouse I use and favors I called in show up with army surplus, merc supplies from mercs, cheap weapons like AK’s and others in crates and any fucker that I could get shit off of I knew I do.
And I call Six who calls them for me.
***Davey… Six calls and set a video of the warehouse and the supplies and Trucks and Jon…fucking Jon telling the Camera.
“I paid, now call someone and get this shit to Rick.”
He gave the camera the finger.

Date: 2023-10-11 04:31 pm (UTC)The women remind me of Lani and I can't help but smile, let them fuss over Julien. And he's not a 'baby' anymore really, old enough to pick things up, show them to people. Toddle unsteadily on his own...
I keep an eye on him though since he's so friendly; so far he hasn't shown any signs of his 'father's side' of things and I'm thankful, but also wary enough to not think he won't.
Mom says I shouldn't focus on it but... I can't help it. So much in my life has fucked up...
"Are you okay?" I ask Jenn and while she was watching these new people, she looks at me and nods. "Yeah. Tired but... okay."
I arch a brow and she smiles slightly. "Really." Then; "How's Becca and her little one?"
"Good last I heard. She gets that Rick has had to-"
The moment Jenn's face falls at hearing Rick's name I scowl. "What?"
"I... she's not-"
I shake my head. "Her and Rick were never gonna work, she knows that. But after being on Titan she stuck around there; said she liked it. Has a job and everything..."
She sighed and I crossed my arms. "What?"
"Rick... has..."
"What'd he do?"
"He said he has a fiance."
I frown. "Not fiancee?"
"No and... I..." she lowers her voice. "It's an alter of Sebastian Fireflower."
I stare at Jenn as if she's crazy.
Jenn looks away, takes in what the new people are doing and despite THAT dumpster fire being dropped on me, she's smiling.
...
I think Jenn is in shock/PTSD.

Date: 2023-10-11 05:40 pm (UTC)Sempai... your sempai's spirit ghost is there at beside both of you helping himself to the tea set Knot left out and he brought his tea from the afterlife... getting solid as this white blonde mixed race asian woman that was there for a second smiles and she give Scarlet a white jade key and kissed him bald spot and he turned solid and stared at each other as she banished her godself away in bringing him back from the dead.
"She wants you to go lead some people for supplies Scarlet at White Jade Mountain, that was the goddess Ameratsu...maker of Light of Heaven."

Date: 2023-10-11 06:08 pm (UTC)I don't move from my hammock, but... damn, I want to. People start coming to us as Knot and his family show; when his daughter comes with birds and livestock, there are some who actually hug them all in thanks. Even some who I never would think to do such a thing, especially to an Outlander.
So yes, I so am keeping that for 'blackmail' later...
When the Spriggans and Brownie, then farmland fae show, I try to be a bit more 'respectable' and sit up more.
"A'era will always be grateful, as I am," and I say it Eternally so they know I'm sincere. I've always liked the fae, respected them thanks to dad, so...
Then Sempai... SEMPAI!?
Scarlet
I was watching things too but the instant Sempai 'showed' I looked at him and... yeah, tears in my eyes. I even give him a respectful bow because screw Eternal custom. But then this woman, other woman shows and she hands me a key? I frown, taking it, looking it over but when I look back up to ask what that's about he... Sempai is there, for real, for real...
Yeah, I barely hear what he says, instead I hug him tightly. "She can hold her spirit beasts," I murmur as I hug him.
"Julian... his name is Julian Kinsano Summers... after you, Sempai..."
I never told anyone Julian's middle name, the time never seemed right but now...

Date: 2023-10-11 07:03 pm (UTC)The goblyns happy lose it hearing his name and "Naming day" is a big deal to them and being allowed to hear is a huge honor.
Which kicks off the mood even more and music and food start getting added and the goblyns give things made for free to folks in his name.
Seven Spriggans ruffled his little head and said they'd runestone the landbridge forever for ya Princess Scar." and just old fae earth shifted there.
A grey old furred brownie get itself a warn fire spot and folds in on himself.
"Some of us remember Kai getting us free from Splugorth machines and magic, she gave us a place not close but not far from these goblyns and it was for us that were hurt too bad and such... we started over yeah but we rembers Aera and good faith between eternals and us so here we are returning favors...does ancient hearts good to see same houses here still doing good."
***Knot... "Seems like this is a very good spot for Sempai to make a temple for this great forest land."
***Holly.... "City of Tea."
no subject
Date: 2023-10-11 07:59 pm (UTC)... oh damn, Scar.
Yep, crying again.
But that Knot and his kin 'lose it' and get so party super excited and... and the mood; as much as there's been loss, the mood does shift.
Yeah, I hug myself because this... all this... makes me feel...
**Jenn, it's like part of her is glowing and... and it's not audible but there's almost this feeling from her, and from A'era, like... the good she feels sinks into A'era and A'era's 'emotions' are working through her, too. Like she's a voice...
An Avatar...**
Scar
I wipe my tears away and smile at him, even kiss his bald little Monk head too. But seeing Jenn's fae friends freak out has me laugh and the mood shifts.
Julian, he just laughs at the Spriggans then promptly falls onto his butt with this 'what' look on his face, before laughing again.
"I think I agree with your friend, Jenn," and I look at her... stare...
Oh.
I clear my throat then look at Knot and his daughter. "City of Tea; House of Tea..." I grin. "I'll leave you to think on it; Jenn, Sempai, can you keep an eye on Julian while I go to this place I've this key for?"

Date: 2023-10-12 12:04 pm (UTC)The Key needed positive chi and soft chi and you had to use it to turn the locks on the portal and the peral in the handle is eternal techniques and made exactly for you by divine creation/conjuration.
It's training everytime you'll use it.
Sasha but with butch shirt white hair is there in front of you in sleek looking shinobi modern armor.
"She figured on you needing a friendly face getting here as she's very much like me, your dad, you... and there's a lot going on... the pos chi's gonna hit you're in a divine realm... c'mon I'll take you to a tea house first you can acclimate like going up the mountains."
**The land is bright sunshine and the smell of drying rice and cooking, curing, and wood/lumber...bamboos and sugar cane being processed as this huge rice paddy farmland in rich golden harvests unfolds like id Japan had the shire and there's mystic lore beasts, dragons, airship, flying islands and all around her "Mountain" which is more like a small mountain levistone island turned into her palace and monastary and you can see gate hubs and you can feel her sending aid... everywhere... she woke after healing and didn't hesistate... it's actually Sasha that pulled a Katar-ra.**
"Or I could deep end you first?" With her old teaching grin.

Date: 2023-10-12 07:06 pm (UTC)I look the key over and it's so interesting...
Then I startle when I hear... I look up, blink and it's Grandma but SO not... (no spider thingies for one plus Grandpa isn't here and he hasn't unglued himself from her since she came back).
But she looks so good... damn...
"A lot going on; that's an understatement..." I smile and even if she's not... she is, and I give her a hug.
A Goddess gave me some sort of mystical key... me... after all I've done and...
It's hard for me to keep from saying I don't deserve it...
"I'd appreciate the guide," I say finally, but then kiss Julien and tell him to behave before going with her.
When we get there it's...
Wow...
I am... yeah, this is definitely a God realm and it's beautiful here. I'm struck by it, and the peace and...
Then I give her a double take. "Oh, oh hell no, for lots of reasons."
no subject
Date: 2023-10-16 04:39 am (UTC)I guide her.
"You're here for supplies."
"Ameratsu was badly injured in a fight vs Splynn's forces and the Horune as Rifting versions of Japan needed champions as everything was happening and she and the gods stopped them taking the islands during the Holocaust but she took a lot of damage and has been here in meditation and regeneration, she came too got very quickly up to speed on the Multiverse and she's being a pantheon leader and goddess of light...So this is her getting up to speed in supporting people."
no subject
Date: 2023-10-16 09:00 am (UTC)"Supplies; supplies I can do."
I walk with her and already I can see that yeah, not only would she beat my ass into the ground, she'd plant it and make me into a bonsai tree while she's at it. As we walk though I'm listening to what she's saying of this Ameratsu.
"Why us though, or rather, why you? Is it some sort of monk/Japanese thing?"
no subject
Date: 2023-10-19 10:03 pm (UTC)"Your grandfather Kevin has been doing this longer."
The people on the plain are doing up supplies headed out to places coming in in caravans and graineries, mills, kitchens and processing as sacks of staples are getting mass loaded on Naruni high end colony class trucks, trailers, rice, soy, bamboo, sugar, tea, coffee, salt, crates of godrealm foods like jade rice and sacred boar and others Monks other races, martial beings and creatures of magic and you can feel her... Ameratsu like Sasha, like family... all in help, no ego, no bullshit she's in... ride or die.
no subject
Date: 2023-10-19 10:33 pm (UTC)I can't help but stare at her when she says Light of Heaven was shattered. Hearing that is just, it's mind blowing really. The rest sounds like typical God stuff and, well, "It's weird thinking that I have grandparents who are Gods and/or Avatars. After dad and Keth died home, Light went back to Kyu and Winged Hope first went to our brother, Jasen, but then to Jenn when he died..."
Which still... hurts; a lot.
Seeing the people working to get stuff together though is just overwhelming. Jace would'a loved this...
"Why though?" and I look at her then. "Why is She doing this, why are you? I mean... okay, I get helping, but this, this is beyond that..."
no subject
Date: 2023-10-19 10:46 pm (UTC)"And Light, has filled me in as well."
She gestures at her twin pretty much but you can feel the sword but different.
***Light... "I was awakened by my weilder The Daneslayer, Zack Summers and when that happened in my timeline my old masters booted me out of the sword and used theit links to uphold the magic."
***Sasha... "Well after she looked we started an Oh fuck room you wanna see it?"
no subject
Date: 2023-10-19 10:54 pm (UTC)I stare first at Ameratsu then at Light and yeah, sort of... oh shit, what?
I'm... I'm not Jenn, not Cass, not like rest of my family at all. I'm...
I try not to have a sudden panic attack at how overwhelming this all is.
"Why me? Jenn... this should be something Jenn is doing, not... not me." Even as I say it I can't help the thoughts/feelings of... dirty, vile, blood-touched, damned... all these things in my head just suddenly there spinning and I...
Blood on my claws from when I almost killed mom.
Believing and accepting Alex and though I love Julien with all my heart, knowing how... who his father...
I end up hugging myself then. "Jace... Jace is... is... he's already... he'd be better for this. Not... not me..."
God now I'm going to be sick.
no subject
Date: 2023-10-19 11:25 pm (UTC)"Maybe I see value in a fire hardened bokken as a student from here? Thing is... after the panic, the puke, the tears are you mad enough and sick of hurting enough to do something about it..You're the Keyoga I want."
Light has ginger ales and Sasha a bucket.
"Will you be my paladin on your world?"
*cackles* She's so Cass' daughter.
Date: 2023-10-20 12:23 am (UTC)I stare at Ameratsu as she walks over to me and I can't help but flinch a little not because I think she'd do anything but...
Wait... what?
"Are you CRAZY!?"
It just... it just comes out... (Fucking Cavanugh mouth).
Still I stare at her, my jaw dropped and... and yeah, oh yeah THAT thought DOES have me give into the sick because she's crazy, she's insane...
I'm no paladin! I'm nothing worth a Paladin, I'm just... I'm...
**Yeah, there was panic, disbelief and all the nerves kicked in and she's puking her guts out.**
Re: *cackles* She's so Cass' daughter.
Date: 2023-10-20 12:57 am (UTC)And they wait... like they can see you.
She's just waiting.
Re: *cackles* She's so Cass' daughter.
Date: 2023-10-20 01:25 am (UTC)Once I have nothing left it's just... the usual after being sick; spitting out the taste, using the sleeve of my shirt to wipe my eyes, letting the drool go into the bucket I was sick in...
And yeah, I can sense them easily enough and I...
"I'm not like that," I tell her. "I... I'm not."
I give in too easily, I let myself be railroaded, I... I'm not what they think.
And for a minute I...
"I'm not her," I say and look at them. I'm not that alter of me, the "Main" me or whatever they want to call her. The "better" one. The one who had a prophecy about her and she fulfilled it and...
I'm just a fucked up alter of her.
Re: *cackles* She's so Cass' daughter.
Date: 2023-10-20 02:12 am (UTC)"And it's an offer, there's no experation date."
Re: *cackles* She's so Cass' daughter.
Date: 2023-10-20 02:27 am (UTC)"But I don't understand why... I... what the hell is there about me that'd make anyone want me for anything, especially a damned Paladin? I just... I don't get it; I don't..."
Which... which is the problem. I don't know why she'd offer this to me of all people. There are others more worthy than me.
Re: *cackles* She's so Cass' daughter.
Date: 2023-10-20 02:51 am (UTC)Re: *cackles* She's so Cass' daughter.
Date: 2023-10-20 03:10 am (UTC)Okay that... I sniff even though that's gross and stare at her.
"I didn't "Miss" it, you're avoiding answering why AREN'T you picking them, why are you picking ME. You say you see things in me to make me a Paladin for you? Then I'm questioning YOUR actual sanity because there isn't anything in me WORTH being a Paladin."
"If it was pie you'd be wearing it as I'd probably have gone dad flipping tables on you by now."
Re: *cackles* She's so Cass' daughter.
Date: 2023-10-20 01:32 pm (UTC)"We can add flipping tables as training I'll get you so good Mainstream will hire you as his table flipper."
***Sasha... "At least hang out learn your powers coming in with me and we can just do the supplies, rice, bamboo the hay. Practical stuff instead of talking about Paladins."
Re: *cackles* She's so Cass' daughter.
Date: 2023-10-20 05:14 pm (UTC)I...
...
Fuck.
"Well at least that makes sense," I murmur, though the comment about mainstream dad I can't help, I actually, almost, smirk.
But then I look at Sasha and... and yeah, I nod. "I don't know what powers you think I have but... yeah, that... that works first." A quick glance at Ameratsu then back to Sasha. "Let me gather arguments to throw back at her."
Re: *cackles* She's so Cass' daughter.
Date: 2023-10-20 08:32 pm (UTC)I pull her by her arm up. "C'mon." And a gate forms and she heads through.
Ameratsu went off to the caravans and Light just shrugs. "Welcome to the nuthouse, lemme know if you need a break my place here is chill. This Sasha's nothing mine... the mother in law calls herself the mother of tygers."
"Stop by Zack'll be around."
Re: *cackles* She's so Cass' daughter.
Date: 2023-10-20 08:56 pm (UTC)I take the ginger ale gratefully, open and sip as Sasha helps me up. I take another drink, watching Ameratsu a moment then glance at Light. "I... thank you." Then I half-smile. "That you call it a nuthouse honestly makes it more real and less like a fucking dream or nightmare..."
...
That has me laughing. "What? Why? Wait, answer later cause I will stop by. Thank you Light..." and I give her a hug before going after Sasha.
