we can burn brighter; shine bright; carry me home tonight;

[miseris_socios]

Characters: Ken and everyone.
Setting: A few different floors around the tower.
Format: Either works.
Summary: Ken's taking care of a few of his normal, self-imposed 'chores'/daily tasks. That doesn't mean he's going to go undisturbed during them, though!
Warnings: Possible language because Strega, otherwise nothing.


[Floor 1]

[While it isn't something he thinks he's best at, Ken is decent at cooking. Someone might catch him in the morning making eggs, or in the evenings making stew, sometimes throwing in some meat that he's managed to catch on the forest level. ... It's almost always a bit burnt due to killing it with electrical attacks, but it's edible at least.]



[Floor 3]

[Even though he doesn't have to read anything serious, Ken can often be found in the late mornings and early afternoons in the library, reading. Sometimes it's fiction - usually fantastical with a minimum of science involved - but more and more often he can be seen with a paper and pencil and a large and very confusing-looking book. It's less the sort of book that an eleven year old should be reading and more of a book that you squash bugs with if they're giant and huge.]

[Upon further inspection, the book can be revealed as a law book, though if the contents are to be read without Ken snapping the book away the person in question will have to either be very sneaky or approach the book on the frequent occasion that Ken gets up to find a dictionary again. He really should just keep it with him.]



[Floor 30]

[Ken can be found on this floor, too. Yes, the monsters on the level are dangerous, but Ken makes frequent retreats to the stairs. He's not dumb enough to get caught in a giant rush of monsters again hopefully, but he's not taking it easy, either. Sometimes he needs to sit down and rest for a few minutes before trying again, and this is probably a good chance to try to talk to him.]

Floor 3

[myblueskies]

[Romeo was lucky enough to approach Ken and the book just as Ken was returning with a dictionary, but Ken doesn't need to worry, if Ken needs a dictionary to read it Romeo's got no chance even with his lessons from Tohko.

He's only just managing Charlie and the Chocolate Factory after all.] Hello Ken! What're you reading?

[miseris_socios]

[Ken looks up at Romeo.]

Oh... um. It's a book about laws.

[It's really complicated...]

[myblueskies]

About laws? That's really big? Is it all the laws from all the worlds? [Peering at it, yup he doesn't know any of these words.]

[miseris_socios]

Not from all of them, just from one.

[He tilts the book a little so Romeo can see better.]

I've been thinking about what I want to do when I get back home. I don't know what I'm going to do at first, but in the end I want to be a lawyer so I can help people our age and younger. There's a lot of terrible stuff that happens to them sometimes that shouldn't be allowed. I want to help fix that.

[myblueskies]

Just from one world? [How could there be that many rules! That was so many!

He listened to Ken and grinned] That's a really good idea Ken! I bet you would be really good at it and get to help loads of kids!

[miseris_socios]

Well, they have to cover every case... and there's a lot of different things that can happen.

[He blushed a little bit.]

You think so?

[myblueskies]

Wow that's a lot! [He grinned and nodded] Of course! You're really clever and I bet if you learn more you will be a great lawyer!

[miseris_socios]

Thanks, Romeo.

[He nodded to another chair at the table.]

Do you wanna sit down?

[He needs a break, anyway.]

[myblueskies]

[He does so, kneeling on the chair since he's still a bit too small for these desks.] Is that book the laws from your world then?

[miseris_socios]

... I'm not sure. I think so, but a lot of worlds seem like they might be alike. It's not like there's any laws about Personas or Shadows.

[Otherwise things would have gone very, very differently.]

[myblueskies]

I guess so. But I don't think there is many laws about protecting kids anyways so you might have to make them have those.

[miseris_socios]

And I will. You can count on that.

[myblueskies]

I bet you will! [He grins, having complete faith in Ken's ability to protect the children of the future.]

[miseris_socios]

[He reaches out for a high five.]

[myblueskies]

[Throws his hand towards with enthusiasm]

[miseris_socios]

[The best high five!]

[Ken giggles a little bit.]

Did you come here to get another book?

[myblueskies]

I just like it here! I'm reading this at the moment! [He produces Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and grins sheepishly since it is not nearly as big or clever as Ken's book]

[miseris_socios]

[It's okay. Ken looks at it, tilting his head a little. He's... not familiar with it.]

Is it a good book?

[myblueskies]

It is though it doesn't really make much sense but the main character is really kind and so that's good!

[miseris_socios]

Yeah, it is. If you want me to help explain it to you, maybe I could read it after you're done?

[myblueskies]

[He grins] If you want! Though it might not be from your world either so it might be strange for you too!

[miseris_socios]

Maybe. I guess I'll have to see.

[myblueskies]

You can read it after me anyways because it's good! You probably know all the words as well!

[miseris_socios]

I might. There's a bunch of kanji I still don't know though.

[myblueskies]

What's Kanji?
