For anemoi

[Ike's world is stuck in the Middle Ages. Thus, he doesn't know about any of this newfangled technology you people have. You're with him somewhere in the city, when he stops and points to something ordinary, like a car or a telephone.]

And what's this?

I just got a memory back, and it explains why I picked up the sword. It was because of my father. His name was Greil, and he started training me in the sword when I was still just a child. But...that's all. I still don't remember anything after I was about seven years old or so.

I wonder how he's doing...

[You've remembered a traumatic or stressful memory! Somehow Ike heard the news, and he's coming into your apartment, concerned for you.]

Hey. Are you going to be all right?

[There's a battle! Considering the nature of the wilderness, you're probably on the same side, but perhaps there's a conflict within the city limits that has pitted the two of you against each other. Either way, Ike has just arrived and taken the lead on the field.]

It's time we turned the tides of this battle! Here I come!

A...waffle maker?

[That helps nothing.]

[gandere]

Yes, it makes waffles.

[ DUH??? ]

[blue_flames]

And...what is a waffle?

[gandere]

It's a waffle.

[ Geez, what's with this guy? ]

[blue_flames]

That doesn't answer my question.

[gandere]

Then maybe you shouldn't ask dumb questions in the first place!

[blue_flames]

Asking about something I've never seen before is a dumb question? How?

[gandere]

You've never seen a waffle maker before?

[blue_flames]

No, I haven't. And I still don't even know what a waffle is.

[gandere]

It's a breakfast item.

[blue_flames]

...So you're saying this thing makes food? But why wouldn't it be in a kitchen?

[gandere]

Because someone's obviously misplaced it!

[blue_flames]

Something like a food maker seems hard to misplace.

[Of course, Ike likes his food, so he's not indicative of everyone.]

[gandere]

Listen, you seem to be the kind of person who just picks an argument just to have one. You asked a question, you got more than a single answer, so why do you continue to discuss it?

[blue_flames]

...I'm not trying to start an argument. I'm just trying to learn more about this world, since it's all unfamiliar to me. I apologize for coming across a different way.

[gandere]

Unfamiliar to you... Why didn't you just say that in the first place?

[blue_flames]

...Well, I figured that my question would imply it.

[gandere]

No, your question implied that you're an idiot and nothing more.

[blue_flames]

You don't hold your tongue back much, do you?

[gandere]

I have no reason to lie.

[blue_flames]

Better to be blunt than dishonest, yeah.

[gandere]

Don't tell me you're offended. If you were up front about your predicament, I wouldn't have though you to be stupid.

[blue_flames]

It'll take more than that to offend me.

[gandere]

Great. So have you been enlightened enough for me to leave yet?

[blue_flames]

Just one more question. Can you give me directions to the library?

[gandere]

I suppose I can do that.

[ Pulling out a notebook, she'll scribble down a map for him. Ripping the page out, she'll hold it towards his person to take. ]

Here you go then.

[blue_flames]

Thank you.

Well, I guess I'll see you around.

[Ike leaves. He just hopes he can find a book about waffles.]
