RL with Yunalesca: Lol picnic

[iwillbelikegod]

Aizen strode in the Farplane. He wasn't entirely sure what this place was... some sort of an afterlife, presumably. It was quite beautiful... certainly a place many would look forward to going after a life of hardships and misery

Yunalesca looked up to see Aizen. Surprised that anyone had come to visit her, she replied, almost wearily, ". . . I beg your pardon?"

[iwillbelikegod]

Aizen smiled. "Tea. It's a beverage made from herbs steeped in hot water. And though that description may not sound entirely appealing, it is really quite delicious."

((LOL TEA ICON))

[pwns_farplane]

Yunalesca dead panned, "Sir I know what tea is. I meant for you to repeat the offer."

[iwillbelikegod]

Aizen didn't miss a beat. "Well then, would you like some tea?"

[pwns_farplane]

Yunalesca responded almost instantly (was she so desperate for company?), " . . . I would. But I'm afraid I have no chairs or a kettle."

She laughed sardonically before turning back to view the endless fields of flowers and the waterfall.

[iwillbelikegod]

"I'm afraid I can do nothing about the chairs, but the kettle is no problem." Snapping his fingers, he produced--from seemingly nowhere--a hot pot of tea and two teacups, one of which he offered to Yunalesca.

Yunalesca raised an eyebrow as she accepted her teacup graciously, "Thank you, Lord . . . Aizen was it?"

[iwillbelikegod]

"Correct." Aizen sat on the flowers across from Yunalesca and poured the tea into first Yunalesca's teacup, then his own.

Placing the pot on the ground in front of them, he remarked, "this place is quite beautiful."

[pwns_farplane]

She took a sip of tea and shuddered slightly as the warmth spread throughout her body. She closed her eyes before considering to take another sip of the tea, "It is,"

She sounded almost bitter.

[iwillbelikegod]

Yunalesca's tone did not escape Aizen's notice. Instead of commenting, however, he took a sip of tea and was silent.

[pwns_farplane]

"The dead come here to rest," She murmured, almost musing out loud, "Those who are sent, guided to the Farplane. Though ... they are happy. Liberated."

[iwillbelikegod]

"And are you... happy?" Aizen asked quietly, though he believed he knew the answer.

[pwns_farplane]

Yunalesca tilted her head, "I am too strong of a person to become a sheer beast, killing because I envied the living. Yet, at the same time, was I even living?"

She had side stepped the question easily, masking over her own depression. She took a sip of tea, she was almost relaxed.

[iwillbelikegod]

"That is a question many feel the need to ask themselves. Why do you feel it is so important?" Aizen's tone was far from condescending... rather, he was genuinely curious.

[pwns_farplane]

Yunalesca murmured, "Barely a year ago, I was in this very spot, contemplating the grand return of the Yevon Church, once more the dead of Zanarkand would be honored. I found myself on a different path."

She placed the tea cup back on it's saucer and laid it on the ground in front of her.

"For a thousand years I avoided this place, my sheer will keeping me going even though my body had disappeared. Now. . . I yearn nothing more, than to be outside this wretched place."

[iwillbelikegod]

Aizen considered this as he took another sip of tea.

"Would not most consider this place preferable to life? What makes it so detestable to you now?"
