Thirtieth Rebirth [video]

[The camera flickers on and finds Yuca, once again, sitting peacefully in his garden, an arm wrapped around his knees. He's got cuts and bruises here and there from his fight with Merlin, but for the most part, he still looks pretty okay. The flowers are just starting to bloom, and his fingers barely brush against one, as if he isn't sure of the

Want some help buildin' it?

[Video]

[neverquitedies]

The greenhouse?

[Oh god what is this, why are people trying to help him.]

[Video]

[sleightofhearts]

Yeah, sure! Why not? Could use something t'do around here, hey?

[Video]

[neverquitedies]

I... I guess so, yeah.

[He finally smiles. It's kind of a nice expression (though it may or may not be genuine?).]

Thank you- mister...?

[Video]

[sleightofhearts]

Good! It'd be nice t'have some work, yeah? Yanno what they say about idle hands'n all~

[You, my friend, are talking to the world's most misleading man, who is going to offer the may-or-may-not-be-genuine-ness of Yuca's expression a cordial smile.]

Mikk, just Mikk.

[Video]

[neverquitedies]

That's true! I'd know that one firsthand. [He laughs airily.]

[His world's most misleading man, maybe.]

It's nice to meet you, Mikk. My name is Yuca. I'd shake your hand, but- [They're sort of on Video feed. He waves instead, with a cheery smile.]

[Video]

[sleightofhearts]

Man, it was nice at first, not havin' t'work in the mines. But I'm 'fraid I need something to do 'round here...

[Oh man, are we going to have to have a contest? Who's more misleading?]

I ain't much of a hand-shaking sort of man, but if you must... maybe when we get around to buildin' that greenhouse, yeah?

[Video]

[neverquitedies]

You worked in the mines? [Curious expression goes here!]

[And... probably. You don't live forever without learning how to fake being normal, after all.]

Oh- don't worry about it then. I was thinking, since so many people volunteered, we could make a day of it. [He's so optimistic, right?] I could find some food and make some tea- I'll draw up some plans and find materials beforehand, and it'll be nice.

[Video]

[sleightofhearts]

Sure did! Was just about t'head for a job when I got sucked into this place. Just my luck, right?

[Same goes for when you live two completely separate lives~]

Food? Well now, y'just said the magic words right there!

[Video]

[neverquitedies]

Seems like it. Though, I've heard of worse stories of people getting brought in at inopportune times.

[A match made in heaven, man.]

Good! I'll look around and see what I can find.

[Video]

[sleightofhearts]

Guess I should be countin' my lucky stars then, huh?

[Sob. It'll either turn out really well, or really horribly.]

I ain't a picky eater, either!

[Video]

[neverquitedies]

Mm. It's not such a bad place, really. I take it, you're relatively new?

[Well for them, horribly for everyone else ever? >>]

I'll keep that in mind, then. If you have anything you'd like to bring, feel free.

[Video]

[sleightofhearts]

[Possible, possible.]

Sure am! Only been here about two weeks. What about yourself?

[Video]

[neverquitedies]

Almost a year.

[It's so strange, saying that.]

Still, not very long compared to some. [Not long at all, compared to him, but.]

[Video]

[sleightofhearts]

[Low, appreciative whistle.]

This place can keep y'that long?

[Video]

[neverquitedies]

Some have been here almost three years.

[He nods.]

It's a bit intimidating, but it's not really all that bad. There are- worse things.
