[ Action | Open ] π Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth. - Buddha
Who: Open to all!
What: Koumyou Sanzo's arrival in Genessia.
Where: The Bay
When: Mid-November
Warnings: Nah. A single manga panel of Koumyou's death, but it's super not-graphic by itself.
But ultimately, impermanence is our only truth.

Koumyou's eyes opened. He didn't remember closing them. The last thing he remembered was telling a young Kouryuu -- Genjyo Sanzo -- to be strong... and the briefest sensation of being taken apart. His head had come off before the pain could truly set in. And now he was... here. Staring up at the ceiling of a... cave?
The priest blinked, and lifted his hands above his face. They were both there. He patted his shoulders, and the familiar crinkle of the Seiten Sutra greeted him.
This was not what he'd expected of the afterlife. If he'd expected anything at all. Reincarnation? Even he wasn't sure. But if he was to be reincarnated, what was he doing here in this familiar body, in these familiar robes, with his Sutra?
The Sanzo priest sat up and looked around. For once, his eyes were fully open and sharp, with no one to observe him. A box fell into his lap from atop his bamboo breastplate, and he blinked down at it. How peculiar! Death had left him a present, it seemed. How polite of it.
He opened the box and sifted through it, perfectly content to sit in his pod for a while as he did so.
Eventually, he wandered out of the cave, and shielded his eyes against the sun with one hand as several birds took off from nearby trees at his appearance. A few crows, and... several small, colorful birds? Hm. They were certainly pretty, against the blue sky...

Action;
The young girl of 13 years was out with a peculiar creature, walking side-by-side. They didn't look like owner-and-pet with the ribbon-like feelers of the pink and cream Pokemon, Sylveon, wrapped around the girl's arm like a companion.
Upon passing the Bay, Anastasia stopped for a moment to reflect on her time, then her reflection was interrupted by someone. "Is he new?" She would wonder. He looked more serene than the otherwise confused and inquisitive others she's seen before.
While she figured to wait until he figured out the phone, if he is a new one, her Sylveon decided to speak up, startling the girl.]
"Sylvie! Syl~veeoon~!"
Action;
He blinked, though that was quite the feat when his eyes barely seemed open at all.
The priest approached, and then crouched down in front of the pair, his hands on his knees.]
Pardon me...? What sort of creature is this?
Action;
"...She's a pokemon, called a Sylveon. Her name is Sylvia."
no subject
Ooooh. She's very cute!
[As one might do with a cat or similar creature, he lifted and extended a partially-covered hand for Sylvia to inspect if she wished.]
no subject
"Vie~"
[Anastasia doesn't try to stop her pokemon, as it is completely harmless. She brings her hands together in front of herself.]
"I apologize for her. That's how she likes to say 'hi' to people."
no subject
It's quite alright. Reminds me a little of Kouryuu as a baby.
[Babies grabbed for things. Including noses. And sometimes hair. Okay... often, hair.]
no subject
"Are you a father?"
no subject
[Koumyou perked up even more, as he always did when he had the excuse to talk about his son. He stood back up to his full height, a few inches under six feet tall.]
My little Kouryuu is fourteen, and already so big!
[He gestured somewhere around mid-bicep height on himself, beaming. What a proud dad.]
Sometimes it's hard to remember that he started off as such a tiny little baby. He hasn't gotten any less cute, though!
no subject
Meanwhile, Sylvia used her feelers to compare this Kouryuu's height with Anastasia. She was still short.]
"Pardon the change of subject, but are you new to Genessia?"

"I know your face," he said as he walked up alongside the priest. "I do not know you, you don't know me, I don't think. You shouldn't. You are new, needing help? No? I'm glad it didn't hurt."
no subject
"No, I don't think I've seen you before. Who are you?"
no subject
Cole tilted his head up to look at Koumyou's face in turn. His eyes were bright blue, eerie, and sad, sadder still for the memories he pulled upon to recognize that face.
no subject
Tucking the back of his opposite hand under his elbow, he lifted the pipe and took a drag of the tobacco.
Much better. He wasn't a chain-smoker like some people, but it was still nice to be able to do this. If he was somehow alive, he may as well live.
no subject
"He's missed you," he blurted out while caught on one particular thread.
no subject
He took another drag from his pipe and let the smoke out in a slow breath. How did death work, anyway?
no subject
"It is better I don't tell you," he said, relieved. There was someone else who knew more and could explain it better than he could.
"The birds know, they'll tell who needs to know. You'll know soon. Oh, and you aren't dead. Well you are, but you aren't. To some you are, to you, you're not."

Making her way back she planned to go via the Bay and when she did, she found herself stopping for a moment, her companions having not realised yet carried on while she looked over.
"Ah, excuse me... I assume you just came out of the way, correct?"
no subject
His attention turned to the girl when she spoke, and he tipped his head a little.
"Oooh, do you mean the cave with the beds in it? Yes, it was very damp!"
no subject
"But I always assume it's damp for a reason. Might not be obvious, though."

"How long have you been here?" That was addressed to Yukiko, despite how Koumyou shielded his eyes with one hand and peered up at the bird.
