{4th Deathray} Cleaning up the Mess. [In Person]

[big_bang_blue]

[Since the destruction of the forest, Megamind has been contemplating on using his dehydration gun to help in the effort. At the very least, it would look better. Unsure if he should, he looks from the left and right and pulls out the gun

[Ryuutaro had been in the Garden, watching the flowers and collecting some petals for his fortune-telling. Afterwards he decided to look around outside a bit more. He felt more comfortable here than in the Manor. Ryuutaro didn't like it to be in houses for too long. He was a vagabond, he needed the wind and the sky. It was better outside. Actually he wondered if he could build a carriage and live out here, just for the fake illusion of not being caged.

As he reached the forest and spotted Megamind, he stopped walking. He had gotten along pretty well with that person over the Blackberry. However, meeting an alien in person was certainly different. Especially if the alien was carrying a gun like that. Ryuutaro half-wanted to turn around and walk away, but he was curious. For a moment he just stood still, observing the other.

Then he opened his fan and put on a smile.]

Despite the depressing envriroment, you seem to be in an extremely good mood, Megamind-san.
[He usually wouldn't use suffixes on an alien or even anybody, but since Megamind seemed to be interested in Japanese...]

[big_bang_blue]

[Turning around to face Ryuutaro, he beams a smile and puts the gun away.]

I'm doing a little cleaning. Nothing to be alarmed about.

[Now it was time to pick up the cubes that were there and put them away which is a lot. If he had his dehydration canon, it would be a whole lot easier but now wasn't really the time to think of what he didn't have.]

So, how is everyone treating you?

[fortunatefan]

Most of the people I've met were very friendly. [Exept for the young man who just hung up on him and the weird text-message-sender]
Which admittedly isn't enough to make this forced stay really enjoyable, but I'm getting used to the situation. [Actually, by now he decided that something as big as this had to be fate and being the boy he was, Ryuutaro was always ready to accept fate and fulfill it.]

And you?

[Along with the words he points the fan at Megamind slightly]

[big_bang_blue]

[His smile fades slightly at the thought of his reception here. Other than a few people here that accepted him fine and the stares were just a by product of his appearance, emotionally if Roxanne wasn't here, he would have been nothing more than a loose screw in the grand machine.]

For the most part, my reception wasn't so bad. Still, it's finding my place again that's got me a little on the edge and teetering before the big fall. Other than that, I'm doing okay.

[fortunatefan]

[Ryuutaro shuts the fan again, silently this time]

That all people here were carried to this place can't just be a coincidence. In fact, it has to be fate. And if this place was destined for us by fate then I think it's safe to say this is your place. You just need some time to accept it.

[In this boy's mind logic like this makes perfect sense]

[big_bang_blue]

Come again?

[Confused now, Megamind still feels he has a choice.]

Call it fate, destiny, whatever, fate plays a big part yes but don't you think that it's a little too one sided being here?

[turning his wrist in a circle]

Then again, it was one sided when I landed on Earth.

[fortunatefan]

[Oh, dear...]

Fate leaves the little choices to the people, but the big things will most certainly make their way. I know what I'm saying, I've been watching developement like this my whole life.

[big_bang_blue]

[He nods with his hand to his chin.]

Yep, just as I thought. Fate is one sided. Although, I like what fate has given me so I have no complaints.

[grins]

[fortunatefan]

That's the spirit.

Fate isn't cruel after all. Usually not. [He falls silent for a moment, lost in memories.]

[big_bang_blue]

[His smile comes back for a moment then gives way to a more considerate one.]

You're thinking...aren't you? You know, existential discussions generally make for a good topic to understand oneself.

[Remembering the time that it was only him and Minion, he often thought of things himself and wrote them down or talked to objects to get his thoughts clear.]

I suppose in times like this, it helps to open in your own way. To mark your own path takes effort. Like you said, it's fate that brought us here but it's our choices that make us great or cause our failures.

[fortunatefan]

[The fan is opened again and the usual mysterious smirks returns.]

I was just thinking back a bit. In my world there were some very unpleasant happenings in the recent past, but surprisingly things worked out well, so there's nothing more to talk about. [Actually, for him there probably is, but he doesn't acknownledge that. He is just glad to be out of that prison room in the Dark Nebula building, to have Thermal Pisces back.]

And in this place, it won't matter anymore anyway. It's a different future opening for all of us.

[big_bang_blue]

[Megamind wasn't about to simply give up or throw in the towel just yet to accept living here as his home. There were so many things left to do and in order to get them done right he has to be home.]

Apparently so. Still, the acceptance of this structure has yet to be determined.

[fortunatefan]

[The fan is pointed away from Ryuutaro, in a dramatic gesture. Because fan-gesturing is as natural as breathing when it comes to this boy.]

I can't say I like it either. But if that's how it is, I think settling down and making the best of out it is the most reasonable choice.

[big_bang_blue]

Okay, this is going in circles now. Didn't we just go over this?

[He's grinning of course. A little teasing never hurts to break the ice.]

[fortunatefan]

[The fan changes direction now directly pointing at Megamind. But it's opened, so this isn't the fan-shushing-gesture-of-arrogant-doom.]

And it makes us come to the valuable realization that opinions vary from person to person.

[big_bang_blue]

[He was about to retort something then stops and nods.]

You have a point.
