meme

so, winter came. snuggle up, little pups! your character has been rolled up like a comfy cleopatra. since you're too settled in to move, a friend may have to take care of your other needs, or take advantage of the situation by throwing you over their shoulder or taping it shut while you're snoozing. encourage them to find their own blanket and have a caterpillar race. just curl up with each other. whatever. it's a blanket burrito. it's impossible to be sad in a blanket burrito.

rules
1. post with your character name, series, preferences
2. your character has been burrito'd

[Bodhi swallows.

He's the kind of brave person fights his own fears to do what's right, to do what he can to help his friends. To do what he can to fight for the good cause. But the fears are still there, and even though Ignis is saying it in a gentle, teasing way Bodhi can already tell he's definitely not going to like said 'trouble'.]

Honestly? You'd probably want me to stay back as well. [He gives him a bit of a grin.] I'm not the best in battle.

Can I help you make the hot chocolate, at least?

[mumistheword]

[ There is no judgment, really. ]

You are not of this world. These are not your fights. There is absolutely no need for you to be.

[ Annnd he smiles. Just a little. ]

But you do look so comfortable there. It is all right.

[roguer]

[He knows that's not the way he means it, but it does feel like he's taking the easy way out of this. It's not his world, it's not his fight, but there's still people's lives at stake. And much, much more he doesn't really comprehend. He'd joined the rebellion to try to clean his conscience but how can he do that while turning his back to even more pain.

He bites his inner cheek to try to keep his thoughts from straying that way. It'd never end. Instead he smiles up at Ignis.]

Not used to these temperatures, no. But to be fair I am usually inside a ship, temperatures are regulated there. It'd be like your car? [He motions at the Regalia.]

[mumistheword]

[ Well. It is quite possible that the next day will alleviated, when he sees all of them in action. He might even enjoy what he sees, at least a little. So long as he does keep his distance. That's usually a good idea.

Ignis, on the other hand, is definitely interested. This planet hasn't exactly reached up for the stars - partly because starts and astrals have come to them - and the curiosity is eating him alive, but he doesn't want to push.

Instead, he looks to the Regalia and smiles, fondly. ]

Unless we ride with the roof down, I suppose it is.

[roguer]

[The corners of Bodhi’s lips twitch upwards, which is the closer he has gotten to a smile since he got separated from his crew. He glances at the regalia- it’s funny, but after being in contact with advanced technology for so wrong such a classic car is really amazing to him.]

I’d love to drive something like that, one day.

[mumistheword]

It is very pleasing, to feel that kind of power under your control.

I would offer that we give it a turn now, when nobody will be alarmed, but... driving at night is dangerous, here.

[ And, let's be real, Ignis does not find it easy to let a lot of people drive the car.

Prompto might have explanations about that. ]

[roguer]

[He smiles up at Ignis. A kind of self-deprecating smile, because he wouldn't trust the car with him either.] It's fine, controls are really different from the ships I'm used to.

But I do drive in space. Driving in dangerous conditions is kind of what I do. I'm not good at many things but I'm a good pilot. It's what I did, for my crew.

[mumistheword]

Mm.

[ Ignis mirrors the smile, but his expression turns thoughtful as his mind spins over what something like that would need. ]

When you are flying out there, in the dark void. You do not rely on your eyes and ears alone, do you?

[roguer]

[He chuckles. Then he pauses, and shakes his head when he realizes Ignis is actually serious in asking.] No, of course not. I have sensors and maps and the like, I actually have to make very quick calculations as well-

[He glances at the Regalia.] But that's only when the ship goes faster than the speed of light.

You... really like your car, don't you?

[mumistheword]

[ Ignis nods. ]

Here, at night, there are threats that can definitely endanger a car - his highness had a rather poignant incident when he was eight years of age to teach us that lesson - and we only have our eyes and ears to rely on when it comes to such threats. Hence driving at night is unnecessarily dangerous. I try to avoid it, whenever possible.

[ Beat. And he looks over to the Regalia once more, his face falling a little. ]

... it is not my car. She belongs... belonged to Prince Noctis's late father. She means a lot to Noct.

[ The last sentence is softer. Ignis likes the car a lot, yes, but he loves his prince. Some difference. ]

[roguer]

[Bodhi glances at the car. The Empire made sure they would only fly planes with the same control, but they didn’t have an assigned ship. Made it easier to make sure they would always have a recently repaired one- and, Bodhi suspects, also made it harder for them to get attached to one. They were told to never give them a name, and Bodhi obeyed. He always did, once.]

Must be an important one, then. [He glances at the car.] Is that why it’s black? To avoid encounters with other cars?

[He figures those are the threats Ignis is talking about.]

/5eva later oops

[mumistheword]

Ah... [ Ignis blinks, then actually rubs the back of his neck, just a little. ]

As a matter of fact, no. Black and gold are the royal colors. All the cars owned by the family are black.

<3

[roguer]

[Bodhi nods. There's plenty of different planets, different cultures, with different forms of government so royalty doesn't strike him as particularly weird. And neither does the idea of official colors- the empire is rather fond of black and white.]

So it does belong to royalty. [That does kind of answer his unspoken question.]

It must be an honor, to be the one to drive it.

:>

[mumistheword]

I... [ Ignis tilts his head a little. On the one hand, he has been driving cars owned by the Crown since he was ever allowed to drive, at sixteen. One the other hand, the Regalia is very, very much special. ]

Yes, it is an honor. Although Noct drives it, too, sometimes. When he is of a mind to do so.

Have you... had ships that you piloted that were special, like that?

[roguer]

[He can’t help but laugh. It’s not a happy laugh, and it would be hard to mistake it for one. It’s a laugh that’s frustrated, scared, and frankly riddled with guilt. He didn’t mean anyone no harm- he’d just joined to help his family. He had been too young, too naive to see what was really going on when he joined and later on he just refused to see later. Until Erso.]

I… yeah. [He licks his lips.] And I got to pilot them. But they weren’t owned by good men, like your king.
