three [action/voice]

[imatreenow]

Mithos has lived his entire life in the village of Iselia, under the care of his older sister Martel who just so happens to be Sylvarant’s Chosen of Mana. When the siblings were younger, their parents were killed by Desians (or a group of people who looked suspiciously similar to the Desians...), a power-hungry group of humans bent on subjugating other races. Knowing that the villagers would be enraged upon discovering that the Chosen’s parents had been killed, Martel decided to keep the truth hidden, even from Mithos. She wanted Iselia to remain peaceful, until she could embark on the journey for world regeneration and make everything right.

Mithos’s best friend growing up is none other than Genis. The two are inseparable, having so much in common. He is also close to Genis’s sister Raine, Iselia’s school teacher. With such an unusually high half-elf population, Iselia is very nearly a haven against racial prejudices (the fact that the Chosen herself is half-elf helps). But nowhere is perfect...

The day of the oracle, Mithos sneaks away from school to witness Martel begin her duties as Chosen. He drags Genis along with him, because that’s what friends are for. They meet up with Martel at the temple, but the Desians (supposedly) are there as well, bearing gifts of violence and chaos. Just as the situation seems hopeless for our young half-elf friends, a mysterious swordsman by the name of Kratos comes to their rescue and...okay, you probably get the idea.

If Mithos is our bright-eyed and bushy-tailed protagonist, then what of Lloyd? Lloyd Irving, the celebrated hero of legend, who fell into the depths of despair and madness upon the murder of the person most important to him, Colette. With the help of his companions, Kratos and Sheena, he builds a twisted system to revive Colette, punish the world for its ignorance, etc. Sheena defects from his vision to form a counter-organization called the Renegades. Kratos...is not secretly anyone’s father. No.

As the Chosen One and her party travel around Sylvarant releasing the seals, they repeatedly encounter a somewhat ill-fortuned assassin named Yuan. He insists that he must eliminate Martel in order to save his land (except he is a loser and falls in love with his target). This makes a lot more sense when it is revealed that another world exists parallel to Sylvarant, and it is in competition for the only source of mana, like two halves of a time-glass, etc.

Mithos remembers being in Luceti these past few weeks, but he is unaware that there exists another version of himself. His memories of Luceti have been replaced with ones suitable to his AU-counterpart’s personality, but many of these are vague. The last thing he remembers prior to Luceti is Martel finally returning to her normal self, after being a soulless doll in the aftermath of the shenanigans that transpired at the Tower of Salvation.


[Mithos is more than a little confused. Not only has he awakened in a completely unfamiliar room in a completely unfamiliar house, but his memory seems a bit...fuzzy. Only vague snippets of the past weeks float to the surface. Is this one of those Malnosso experiments he has been warned about?

Well, he better check in with the Professor, or maybe even Yuan.

So he is currently making his way across the village (how did he end up at house 52 anyway?), an expression of contemplative concern on his face. As he sets out, he can't help but sigh lightly.]

If Martel were here...

[He trails off and shakes his head, trying not to think about how much he misses his sister. Unknown to him, the journal picked up on that bit of wishful thinking.]

[He may or may not be blushing a teeeeeny tiny bit right now. Mithos Yggdrasill, in any universe, has never been hit on before.]

M-My name is Mithos.

[hitdat.livejournal.com]

Miiithos-kun~ I bet if I were to match that with Masaomi-chan, it would make for a Perfect Match. [To make this point better, she sliiiiides in next to him]

[imatreenow.livejournal.com]

[DOES NOT COMPUTE DOES NOT COMPUTE.]

A...a perfect match?

[hitdat.livejournal.com]

100%~! [LEAN. LEAN IN]

[imatreenow.livejournal.com]

[Trying to subtly leeean away, flustered by this strange girl's proximity.]

But what does that mean?

[hitdat.livejournal.com]

You don't even know?! Oh, your poor, cute boy! [GASP]

[imatreenow.livejournal.com]

[First handsome, now cute WHAT IS THIS.]

I'm...sorry?

[hitdat.livejournal.com]

[...Pfft. She pats him on the should here]

Don't worry, Onee-chan is here for you.

[imatreenow.livejournal.com]

[Another phrase he doesn't understand. He never realized girls were so confusing...]

....Um...Masaomi, was it...? [...something like that.] I don't understand anything you're talking about.

[hitdat.livejournal.com]

[POUT.]

...You don't?

[imatreenow.livejournal.com]

[Mithos really just doesn't get it and he feels a little silly since apparently it's supposed to be so obvious and he is very aware of how pink his cheeks are becoming. He may have experienced quite a lot for one so young -- including cool shit like fighting monsters, leading mass prison breaks, and traveling to a different world -- but...he has no idea how to deal with this.]

Am I supposed to?

[hitdat.livejournal.com]

All boys should speak the language of love, shouldn't they?!

1/2

[imatreenow.livejournal.com]

[L..Love? Girlsaomi, he's never so much as held a girl's hand. :I]

[imatreenow.livejournal.com]

[/AVOIDS EYE CONTACT.]

I...don't really know anything about love or girls or...

[hitdat.livejournal.com]

Then let Onee-chan teach you aaaaall about it... [HEH HEH HEH]

[imatreenow.livejournal.com]

...Wha-?

You...you don't have to do that! [Of course that means "please teach me your ways!" 8|]

[hitdat.livejournal.com]

[...Arm latch!] Come on, just one date~!

au!Mithos is still about a -5/-4Y on the chart

[imatreenow.livejournal.com]

[He would be lying if he said that didn't feel nice in this cold weather. But ohsweetColetteit'sagirl and his body tenses uncomfortably. --Wait, what?]

But I was on my way to somewhere...!

Oh I see how it is Mithos

[hitdat.livejournal.com]

But-! Is that more important... perhaps we can go some other time! [Swinging on the arm now. Hamming it up]

[imatreenow.livejournal.com]

I really have to talk with my teacher.

[He doesn't want to make her feel bad...] But..um...maybe afterward I could...

:]

[hitdat.livejournal.com]

You could...? [THESE EYES THEY ARE SO EAGER FOR YOU TO PLEASE THEM]

[imatreenow.livejournal.com]

I could go...do something...with you. [/awkward teenage boy]

[hitdat.livejournal.com]

Oooh~? And where will I meet you for this?

[imatreenow.livejournal.com]

I don't know. Where do you want to go?

[hitdat.livejournal.com]

Eeeh, there's nowhere you want to go?
