IC INBOX - Austice

Kuja has a phone as of December 16th! He got sick and the thanatophobia won lmao <3. Feel free to contact him by text, voice, or video now-- he's terrible at answering his phone right when it rings, though. He tends to leave it sitting around, and sometimes even leaves it at home.

Kuja can very easily be found around town. He kind of sticks out, what with the height (the official height chart says 7'1" but I nerfed him to 6'7") and the habit of floating around places.

He has a habit of perching atop buildings, so a good place to look is Up.

If you want to hit him up at home, that's cool too!! I have a comment below describing his.. abode.

 

Feel free to talk to him!! 

_{(why does it look like the town is on fire behind him? ....don't worry about it.)}

<sub>[ Azusa really did it... There'd been nothing for it but for him to trust and wait (horrible.), especially in the condition he'd been in when the news broke. But it was one thing to be told, and another to see....

--oh, hell, the carburetor's bleeding out! ]</sub>

Aht, aht! No touching with bare hands! You'll give it an infection, it doesn't have skin!

_{[ where did he PUT that styptic-- ]}

[parhellia]

[ Ala's hands fly back, who's touching it, not her ]

It's okay, it's okay~ My hands are clean, see?

[ she shows him her palms, smeared with dirt and grit from the roof tiles ]

Haven't you, like, ever poked your eyeball? It's fine.

[finalbows]

Augh. You do need a kleenicks. The last of the box is over there.

_{[ Disappointingly, it's just tissues. ]}

You know, your eyeball isn't raw, it has a protective layer, that's the... finally, here it is! Tongs, tongs--

_{[ Kuja hurriedly tends to the carburetor(?)'s wound, though by this point the liquid of the container's full of billows of blue. M..maybe it'll make it. He'll feed healing magic to it if it's still pulsating in a few minutes. Immediately flooding it with energy could kill it as a good as not doing anything at all. ]}

There.

...

_{[ He draws himself up straight. Deep breath in, out. The immediate distracting task gave him an excellent chance to not lose his composure. ]}

So!

How! Was, your adventure? I must confess I know very, little, at all. _{[ despite weeks of neurotic hunting about it. yes, his pride is hurt. ]}

[parhellia]

Oh, it was super boring.

[ Even the kleenicks is more exciting, which she takes from the box, looks at it, and then carefully folds it and sticks it into her pocket for later. Her hands she can wipe down on the sides of her skirt. ]

What is that? When's it getting skin so I can poke it?

[finalbows]

This one doesn't get skin, it fits together with some other parts later and they sort of-- _{[ he squishes his fingers together a few times. ]}

I don't have anything to fit over it, so once it's all together, it'll start growing a shell. Once the shell is solid... Then you can poke it. Gently.

_{[ a beat. he forgot to say what it actually does. ]}

Pulls in air to mix with the fuel. The lung isn't functional yet, but eventually it'll start breathing.

_{[ Kuja is extremely easy to distract by telling him to ramble, good work Ala. ]}

[parhellia]

Aw, poor thing, I hope it gets its shell soon.

[ Because a squishy little thing like that is so tempting— she sticks her hands inside her jacket pockets to resist the urge, but at the same time, a breeze seems to pick up inside the room, swirling about Ala's feet just lightly enough to lift the ends of her hair. ]

There you go little squishy thing! Have an air snack!

[finalbows]

_{[ The unnatural breeze brings a bracing brush of cold, and... also makes something click in Kuja's brain, extremely belatedly. Well, it sort of seems just natural the little sylph could do something like-- ]}

--You were there at the train, after all!

[parhellia]

Hm? Yeah. Shuuya says that if you get lost, the best thing to do is stay where you are and wait for somebody to find you!

[ So that's what she did, and it worked, and then it didn't, and she had to be ritual summoned back into existence. It's hard for her to understand, so she just doesn't think about it. ]
