WHO: Dionysus & anyone
WHAT: Arrival, looking around
WHERE: the bay + parks
WHEN: May 5
WARNINGS: none yet


[ arrival ]

There are a few things to consider, as Dionysus (or Ilya, as he thinks he's called at the momen) wanders along the Bay and the streets outside with bare feet, in work clothes, and mud and leaves all over.

Firstly, he's pretty sure it was late March last he looked. He was definitely cleaning the garden.
Secondly, he thinks that this does not look like Koriko.
Thirdly, he's sure that he has not payed off his debt to the witch yet, so why is he somewhere else? If he were, wouldn't he end up by Kusanagi-san's family's place?

And where should he work? He had worked in the gardens in Koriko, but do they have those here? Are they as expansive, if that's the case? Do they have grapes?



[ any park ]

These parks are nothing like the gardens that were part of the bathhouse. But they're gardens, and he's going to investigate them.

Or fall asleep among them.

Comments

[at the park]

[guardsdogs]

He was lucky enough to find a, nice, secluded gap in the park bushes, where he could nap for a bit without worrying about being seen. Occasionally, his ears would pick up footsteps, but he ignored them when they never came too close.

He twitched, and his eyes opened, when a new pair of footsteps walked by. That person was familiar, and he was sure he knew them from somewhere.

Dionysus might have heard rustling going on nearby, but Anubis was sneaky enough to peer at him without being visible. It was him! The god who made the good-tasting drinks! His eyes lit up with excitement, and he ran to get a closer look, only for him to stop in disappointment when he saw the god was empty-handed.

What was he doing here, and why was he just walking around? Even though Anubis had really wanted more to drink, he decided to keep his distance and follow him for now.

[fertilizer]

He sure did hear him that once, but when he doesn't see anything, he shrugs it off to continue looking around the park. It's not like the parks in Koriko at all, or like the Greek gardens, but it must be the thing with different cultures playing part in it. He stops by a bush, looking over the flowers budding on it. He's not exactly aware about the fact that he's being stalked by another god, but probably wouldn't have been too bothered by it if he knew.

[guardsdogs]

The flowers were pretty. He couldn't blame Dionysus for wanting to stop and admire them. Anubis kind of wanted a closer look too. He darted to the flowers, peering at the ones opposite of where Dionysus stood, when his nose itched. He made a face, confused as to why he was itching, but before he knew it he was sneezing. He couldn't even stop himself from sneezing a few more times. Why had that happened? He wished he could ask Thoth.

[fertilizer]

There are a lot of things you learn to not get surprised over at a certain age or when you are something in particular, and a lot of things that was unnatural became normal. However, something Dionysus did not expect was someone sudden sneezing.

He inclines his head, tries to see who was hiding. "Uh, hello?"

Around the park

[lycoctonum]

Ginko has always been hanging around the bay since her own arrival. Sometimes she's in her human form, looking like a lost school girl. She would stand at the entrance and stare at whoever exited the Bay with an almost accusatory look.

Sometimes, like today, she's in bear form. Laying low in an alley, Ginko's trying to cool off slightly while she continues her vigil. That's when she sees the man. He's...not exactly the sort she usually sees around here.

"Growl?"

[fertilizer]

Dionysus looks around when he hears the sound of an animal. He has been around a lot of animals during much of his life, and having spent extra much time at the farm during his time in Koriko due to a friend working there, he never loses the hapit of looking toward the ground at the sound of an animal. He smiles when he spots the bear. "Good morning."

[lycoctonum]

She's small for a bear, only about the size of a large cub. She sits on her hind quarters sniffing. Earth. Gardens? That's a familiar, comforting smell. She tilts her head slightly.

"Good morning, growl."

[fertilizer]

He has not met speaking animals in a while, not since he got to the Miniature Garden, but it's not surprising. It's more familiar than anything.

"What's a pretty girl like yourself doing out wandering alone?"

Arrival

[sizedoesntmatter]

Yugi had been wondering around, knowing full well that he would need to buy some new clothes soon. Wearing the same thing over and over usually gets one some odd looks after a while, but he knew his fashion sense was not exactly the best.

As he turned the corner, he almost bumped into the other. "Ah, I'm sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going."

[fertilizer]

Thankfully, he didn't actually walk into Dionysus. If he had, he would have gotten dirty too. Though what's a little dirt in spring?

"Oh, no big deal." He's been run into plenty in the past. "In a hurry somewhere?"

[sizedoesntmatter]

"I have some work to do, but I guess nothing important." He pauses slightly wondering if this person was new or not.

"Are you new here? Because I don't think I've seen you around before."

park

[eighthchild]

Hikari rather enjoyed spending time in the park, be it with someone's pet or not. But for now she was all alone and she was happy enough at doing that. As she went to go sit on the bench she couldn't help but be puzzled at seeing someone asleep.

She wasn't sure what was going on as she got closer and closer. She wasn't sure if this person was even alive or not. When she was close enough she reached out to lightly shake them.

"Hello. Are you okay?"

[fertilizer]

At first, he didn't notice a thing, as he was too busy dreaming of grapes. But then the grapes started to talk and made him slightly confused. Still half asleep, he frowns. "'course I am, why're you asking that so suddenly?"

[eighthchild]

Hikari sighed with relief. She was kind of glad that well... they weren't dead at least.

"I'm sorry, it's just you are sleeping in the park, so I had to check."

[goddessinthefog]

Izanami was taking a short walk through the park that afternoon. The weather was nice, and she wanted the chance to enjoy the sunshine. She used her androgynous human guise, of course. Few people knew her as a Goddess in this place, and she wanted to keep it that way.

Spotting the redheaded man walking nearby, she offered him a wave. Everyday pleasantries were something she learned very quickly in her work at the Gas Station back home. "Hey. Nice weather we're having, isn't it?"

[fertilizer]

Ah, strangers casually talking to him and chatting him up. Well, maybe not the latter very much, but either way. He likes it, and is very happy to engage.

The weather, though? Did it matter much? You could sleep or be awake in any kind of weather. "Yeah, it is. Is it always this nice weather here, or am I just lucky?"

park

[grumpywater]

As usual, Takeru headed to the park in order to sleep under some trees. He was better about being around people, but he still didn't like it all the time. However... he heard someone walking around in front of him and he cracked an eye open. Once he did-

"Ah!" He sat up, "Dionysus!" He's here too?!

[fertilizer]

How typical, going to sleep in the park. Not that Dionysus has any right to comment on sleeping habits, considering he likes to sleep a lot.

He didn't expect someone suddenly shouting at him so soon after getting to a new place. He turns, and is surprised seeing Takeru, but he just walks over as if nothing is amiss, hands in pants pockets. "Found a good nap spot there?"

[grumpywater]

Wha... how can he be so calm?! Well- it is Dionysus after all. Takeru raises a brow at his companion, and then just sighs loudly.

"Yeah... so they dragged you here too, I see."

arrival!

[graduations]

[ Yui passed by the Bay just about every day on her way from Attleton to the Shrine, where she worked. She had been running a little bit late that day, and it would appear she would end up being later yet as she stopped, looking absolutely astonished as she saw an oddly dressed Dionysus wandering about. ]

Dionysus-san?

[fertilizer]

[ At first, he's a little confused. He has been Ilya for several months now, and had completely forgotten every single one of his many names because the witch had taken them, but then Dionysus sinks in, and he realizes that it's him she's talking to.

For a short moment, he almost uses her work name, but he catches himself before he does. ]

Long time no see, Kusanagi-san.

omg sorry this took so long..

[graduations]

Long time..

[ Wait- but if he just got here..? This is more confusing to Yui than when Takeru and Loki were from different times than she was. It's Yui's turn to look confused. It's been a little while for her, but.. oh, maybe- ]

Ah, has someone explained things to you already? [ She thinks it would make sense, if he already was told that it's been a while for her.. Little does she know that there's a lot more to this story than that. ]

[park] sorry for the delay

[divineliar]

When Loki sometimes wanted a break he went to the park. It felt like a big damn cliche, but he did enjoy the more quiet atmosphere. It calmed him down more than being in the city area. You didn't run into that many humans there.

... though you might fall down. Like because Loki didn't notice someone sleeping on the ground. Such a graceful event.

"Hey! Stop sleeping in the middle of the road!"

Loki, you're not even on the road, you walked away from it. Gosh.

me too

[fertilizer]

Sleeping on the ground happened to be entirely normal, he's not the only one who does it. And it's not much different from sleeping on the floor, anyway.

Dionysus cracks an eye open, and then sits up when he notices who it is. Last time he saw him, it was in Koriko. "Oh, so it was this place you ran off to." He completely disregards that it's rude to point.

we'll be late together

[divineliar]

Ran off to? Loki looks over at the person he stumbled upon. "You're one of the Greek... When did you get here?" What was this guy's name? Maybe he should have paid more attention to things like this. "... and I didn't run off."
