6th Rise of the Phoenix ஜ Action (Fourth Wall Event)

[uccellodifuoco]

[Like many, Ikki isn't really a happy camper right now. The sudden influx of people was obvious for him from the very start, mostly because of his habit of reaching out with his Cosmo everyday upon waking up. It's basically just a reflex, a way to know if anything important is happening or if someone he knows has gone missing... Or even if someone he knows has appeared. Even if the cycle for arrivals hasn't started yet, Ikki has heard enough times already that the cycles like to change.

Still, it's one thing for it to start early and another to get this many people. It requires a visual investigation and soon enough the Phoenix Saint will be walking around the village to check what's going on. He's wearing his Cloth instead of just carry the Pandora Box, he may come to need it after all.]

[Here she takes a deep breath -- as if she had been holding it in for so long.] I see.

[Ikki's answer came to her as a subtle reminder as to why she had to keep a poker face at all times.] It is the same for me... while I am not keen on gambling myself, I would like to hold on to the hope that I will be there for my Saints on time.

[uccellodifuoco]

You will. If you weren't I wouldn't have come to exist.

[It's pretty simple after all, for someone from the future to exist there must be a future for the past it was born from.]

Until then, though, I'll escort you.

[She gives him a fond smile.] Thank you, um... am afraid I did not get your name...?

[uccellodifuoco]

Uhm?

[That's right, he didn't gave her his name. He had been too worried about her being a new Athena and not a past one that he just... Ignored that fact.]

Ikki. Phoenix Ikki.

You can stay with me for as long as you remain here, I don't think Smoker will have problems with that.

Ikki. It is good to meet you.

[She had been quite stressed when she had arrived but she is gradually relaxing...]

Thank you. I will do so. I appreciate it very much.

Is Smoker your friend?
