Visiting a monument [Sharaku]

Subject: Re: Visiting a monument [Sharaku] Mon Nov 17, 2014 4:05 pm

Hm, was that so? To Sharaku it seemed as if Hyde just decided on it now, because the redhead had been asking plenty of questions up till now, and a lot of those could have been considered random. At least in his book. Did that mean Hyde was good at being randomly annoying without even trying? Eh, it did make sense. Amusing part was, that Hyde had somewhat unintentionally just admitted it. Not that he was in the mood to call the younger out on it. It'd just end up in a prolonged debate he did not want to face right at the moment. Either way, the thought counted, probably. ''You have already asked plenty by now. But I'll take it.'', he'd say airily, but leave it at that. He'd see what was this sudden change of mind all about.

...And he did, and it wasn't what he expected at all. Oh no, why more of this mushy stuff. He always got dragged into the nightmare. Nice as it was, he wasn't good with this. Er, so now what? He would end up staring off into the space for a while.

''Maybe....I don't know...'', he'd answer, feeling a bit awkward now. ''Is there a reason you're telling me this all of a sudden...?'', he'd inquire, somewhat unsurely, giving the redhead a sideways glance. Dealing with Shun was leaving him confused enough already at times, he didn't necessarily need to add Hyde to this in any way or form. Lovely. Why was everyone so softie out of the blue? If there was one thing he had no idea how to suitably deal with, it was this.

“Not really, I wished we got along a bit better since I don’t have a family to call my own, I would like to sometimes think of my friends as family. That’s kind of how I see it, i just wanted to express that to my best bud.“ Hyde would say simply as he moved his hands across the grass. “ Hmm, we should do something fun. Was there ever anything that you would of wanted to do when you was younger? I’m pretty sure there’s something fun that you had in mind that probably doesn’t appeal to you when you was older. Even so I still think we should try it. “Hyde was fired up once more, wanting to make the most of this day. He wondered what Sharaku would say in the first place if there was any information at all that portrayed to Sharku hidden hobbies that he indulged in. “You know, I went fishing around here once. The first year I came to Azores, I didn’t enroll in school immediately. I basically retreated to Lunapa Island and lived there for a while. But speaking of the fish, I caught a squid, could you believe it? It was a very weird looking thing, I needed up letting it go. “ Hyde was quiet for a second, thinking about his next choice of words before he bit into the apple. “Want one?”

Ehh, how did Hyde manage to go from meaningless questioning to all this buddy buddy stuff? Sharaku wasn't really that quick in these matters to catch up. Honestly, he wasn't even sure whether he was just feeling awkward now, or just a bit uncomfortable. He was not used to people calling him a buddy, and less so when it was someone he had plenty of disagreements with. Did Hyde even dislike someone? Because it seemed that the redhead was intent on going even as far as hugging a guy that was currently trying to rob him, or anything along the same line of ridiculousness. To be fair and square...he didn't know how to deal with that. ''Then...why'd you insist on being best friends with someone you know you don't get along perfectly enough for that? I just don't understand the way you think.'', he'd say, thumping his head backwards against the tree, sounding rather frustrated right now. Hyde always said something that made him feel out of the loop. He was just NOT getting this, and it was irking him, at least subconsciously.

When Hyde turned to fun pasttimes, he would blink a few times. ''......Fun...'', he would echo a bit sheepishly, not having an answer right of the bat. He was too busy with other things to really want to do anything play-like in the past. He wasn't capable of making up anything on the spot, which is why he remained quiet after that, letting Hyde talk about fish first. ''What's wrong with a squid? You can use it in the same way as fish, no?'', he'd throw back languidly, not even sure what was this talk all about anymore and giving the younger a blank look for a moment at the fruit offer. ''Hm, if you don't want it, I guess I don't mind.'', he'd mutter. He just didn't have the strength to go against Hyde at that moment. If Hyde gave him one, he would take it holding it in his hand for a while, keeping silent in thought. This was too much. He really needed to clear his head. Hyde knew how to have a clogging effect on him. Giving a sigh after several moments of quietness, he would stand up suddenly, walking a few steps away from the tree, biting into the apple ( if he had it) to free his hands, and subsequently proceed to do a handstand, even though he probably looked a bit silly right now. Maybe looking at the redhead upside down would help his jumbled thoughts.

‘Well, I said that’s how it is for now. However, that’s not the way that things have to be forever. I wouldn’t be much of myself if I was so quick to give up on people. “Of course Hyde would offer the apple to Sharaku, there was no way that he wouldn’t share with his friend. However, that wasn’t the interesting part. Sharaku started to do a handstand, which looked fun to Hyde. “Oh! That looks fun!” Hyde would say happily as he Joined his friend upside down, doing a handstand of his own. “Does this help you think better or something?” Hyde would do with a big smile on his face, wobbling just a tad while he tried to maintain his own handstand. “There is nothing wrong with Squid, I just didn’t want to get squirted with ink.”

Subject: Re: Visiting a monument [Sharaku] Tue Nov 18, 2014 1:18 pm

Tsk. Well, that made sense. ''Isn't that a somewhat dangerous business? People could try to take advantage of your willingness to keep being friendly and trick you into something.'', Sharaku would retort bemusedly at Hyde's answer. While it did clarify a little, he was still rather baffled by the redhead's way of thinking. Not giving up is honorable, but how do you know if you're simply not overdoing it, and only making it worse on yourself or the other person? Besides, if you disagree with someone, just being nice and extremely friendly, shrugging things of like Hyde does...will never solve the problem that started it all. That's just like sweeping dirt under the rug.

He would attempt to squint at the redhead when Hyde declared being upside down was fun. Perhaps he should have expected this, but he didn't think...Oh, well. ''Is there something you don't find fun? Because as I'm seeing it, you seem to rush into everything without even thinking beforehand.'', he'd ask, knitting his eyebrows together in thought. After shifting around to hold himself up on one hand, that is. He had to hold that apple somewhere while talking. Thank god, he had a fairly good balance, but he wasn't going to keep at this forever either way. ''And no, not really. I just felt like doing this.'' He wasn't going to attempt to give a longwinded explanation as to why. It wasn't worth it. He wouldn't say anything to the squid comment, only giving a slight wry smile at the though of Hyde covered in ink. Though, the redhead would probably have trouble seeing that. as they were both upside down.

“Isn’t there danger in everything we do? The most important part of the choices that we make is the responsibility that we hold towards them. Or at least I would like to think so, that’s why I try not to bring the rest of the group down if something I did started to go south, like that police incident before the rescue. I managed to keep your names and existences a secret, so I would like to say it didn’t end all that bad. ”When Sharaku asked Hyde if he thought things through, he would give Sharaku a puzzled look. ”Hmm? Well, sometimes I would. I guess it’s not a good thing to say that I act on impulse a lot, but simply waiting and not acting at times could be a lot worse. I would like to think that life is about taking chances at time; sometimes those chances aren’t something that you wouldn’t have a lot of time to think about. But that’s just who I am”

Subject: Re: Visiting a monument [Sharaku] Wed Nov 19, 2014 12:29 pm

That wasn't neccesarily what he was aiming for. Yes, there was naturally danger in everything you did, Sharaku knew that. He wasn't trying to discuss it from this angle of view, because on that, Hyde was mostly right. Though it still didn't make sense to do the more dangerous things when it was already fairly obvious it wouldn't work. The police incident, honestly, no one even believed that Hyde would be taken seriously, because it was simply farfetched thinking in the first place. A kid may believe all that supernatural storytelling, but a police officer? Please. Not unless they had experience with it, and if they had, then they would have done something for the case themselves.

After listening to all Hyde had to say, he would flip over back to his feet with a huff.

Visiting a monument [Sharaku] - Page 2 TykiMikks

''You have a point in what you say, yes. I won't argue with that, but it wasn't what I was talking about either.'', he'd say as he looked over at Hyde. ''If you want to take risks when you do something, I'm not stopping you. I have no problem with that. What I meant is, that you take everything in a way too easygoing manner, not just your own actions. You keep wondering why we don't get along. That's why. No matter what happens, you keep turning it into fun. You attempt to make everything sound lighthearted. But if someone around you simply can't see it in the way you picture things, it's more annoying than anything else. We think in completely opposite directions at times, that's the problem here. And the fact that when you're told about it, you just keep on with your cheering does not help either. I know you don't want to irritate me, but you keep doing that by just doing what you normally do. How do you want to fix that, hm?'', he'd give an explanation, feeling somewhat moody by now. There was no other way around it. Hyde wouldn't take what he meant unless he spelled it out letter by letter. And he was tired of beating around the bush all the time. With a sigh, he would plop down on the grass, lying on his back and staring at the sky. ''You keep saying we're friends, but it can't work this way forever. I might go along most of the time, but I can't bend as much. I don't dislike you, but the path this is heading in as it is, may just rebound on us both.'' And he knew he'd probably feel bad about it if it did, but there are some things that can't be helped just by ignoring them.

I know….” Hyde would say as he flipped back on his feet. I know that our friendship won’t last that long If I keep trying to look for the bright side of things. It’s not like I take everything lightheadedly, but why should I allow anything in his world to take my happiness away from me? It’s the point of seeing things from a different perspective, what I do is my own way of enjoying life and maintaining the hope I have for myself, and the future, “Hyde would say as he let his words sink in a little bit. “It’s good if you are the serious one, the reality of most situations aren’t laughable and this is what we have to stare in the face for the rest of our lives, but is that what life has to be ALL THE TIME? Maybe I do it on purpose Raku, maybe I choose to be the one who would say it’s not the end of the world…” the one who can blindly hold on to hope, faith, and happiness. Maybe that’s who I want to be, so I try to strive towards it the most because I understand how harsh reality can be, due to the fact that my entire life was revolved around having such a harsh reality. I know Sharaku, I know what you’re trying to say, and I know that you have you own ideals and different ways as to how you would look at them, so I would respect your decision if you didn’t want to hang out with me anymore. But let me say this…

Hyde would then stand up and look Sharaku in the eye for a moment. “I personally think we argue he most…..due to the fact that we want to understand each other the most. That’s something I choose believe, and I don’t want to give up on the bond we made with each other.

'...................' Great, now what? Another thing to add onto the 'be aware of when talking with Hyde' list apparently. Aka, get into a deep discussion, and you'll end up not knowing what to say. Hyde's words were just hard to make a response to, period. The redhead was a die hard optimist, eh? Though, honestly, Sharaku was a bit conflicted right now. He had to admit he sort of approved of Hyde's determination to be himself no matter what, yet he still wasn't sure how long could he truly handle the younger's way of being himself. Sure, he had his own bouts of optimism at times, but that was usually done just so he wouldn't upset the opposing party. Then again, being the same didn't work out either. He did not really like compromises, but it seemed that it was the only way to go, or someone would end up insane by the end of this, and he had a feeling it would be him. With a sigh, he would close his eyes, and remain silent for a good while, leaving Hyde waiting for a response.

Unless Hyde disturbed him meanwhile, he would take a good two minutes until looking up at the now standing redhead.

Visiting a monument [Sharaku] - Page 2 Image

''I see. So you're an optimist, eh? I suppose that's where we differ. I don't think it's that I'm always serious, but I'm more of a realist. When it 'sucks' it 'sucks', and that's that. I can understand why you'd want to see things in a brighter light, because who wouldn't? But, I'm just too used to viewing things as they are...and I simply can't hold onto something..that's not there. It's honorable that you are capable of blindly having such faith. I suppose that's probably what I can't swallow. I just...don't understand how can you do that, without having anything to back it up. It's easy to say that it'll be allright, it'll be fun....but, how is that even convincing enough? Saying it is one thing, but that doesn't mean it will happen. Having too much hope without a solid grounding...just brings dissapointment when it all comes crumbling down. I think...I don't want to face that.'', he'd say, giving an almost sheepish smile to the redhead, before sitting up.

''I don't want to stop hanging out with you, that's not my point. I...just don't know what to do. I'm not used to people like you. And I don't like that. Yelling won't solve this, bearing it with a grin won't either. So then what?'', he would sigh, tossing the apple Hyde had previously given him up and down, apparently trying to think throught this.

The thing about being a realist is the fact that you would have to believe in everything that’s in front of you, but we can’t do that anymore. Now with all this persona nonsense and all we been through. There are things that we know exists that we can’t see, but we know it exists anyway because of our experiences. We know the supernatural is real, that doesn’t necessarily fit in with the category of the realist, you having the ability to believe in something that nobody else can either see or reach” Hyde would take a deep breath as he continued. “It’s not rocket science, we don’t have anything to back up our claims with other people, we can’t possibly push them in the portals for them to believe us and cant flaunt information that not easy to come by. That would only generate suspicion, but I don’t believe that purposely finding ourselves to be ignorant of it all isn’t the way to go either, I also don’t think that the word “Realist “ is the proper term that you should use, simply because of what you been through, what we been through.”

Hyde would then walk over and put his hand lightly on Sharaku’s shoulder with an earnest smile. “we have to have hope Sharaku. Hope that you can live out your days In peace and those people who took you will never find you again. Hope that this can all be over, and we can stop those people threatening ur world. Sometimes, threes no backup claims to this hope that we have, but it doesn’t mean we stop believing in it.” Hyde would then put his hands back in his pocket. “I’m not so used to people like you either, everybody wanted to believe in the hope of living another day back where I’m from. If yelling won’t solve this, and bearing it with a grin wont, why don’t you find something about me that coincides with something about yourself. Once you could make that connection, I’m sure we would be able to understand each other a lot easier. First off, how can you still say that you only believe in whats in front of you, when there are so many things around s that we know probably exists, that we cant even see ourselves yet?

Subject: Re: Visiting a monument [Sharaku] Sun Nov 23, 2014 2:30 pm

Sharaku would give Hyde a contemplative look for a while. Perhaps he did not have something to use to back up his claims to other people, but he had been speaking moreso about believing something himself. For all one knows, even if you have proof, some people won't accept a view. He himself saw enough of the supernatural business in his life to consider it believable. That should count as enough, no? Being able to prove it to other people wasn't something he really thought fit in this category. Unless he was forgetting something here. ''Hm, does it really have to be something tangible? Besides, I don't see the need to be able to prove such existence to someone else. What really matters is that I can back it up to myself, and I think I've seen enough of it for that. The fact that it's something to be considered unrealistic in itself isn't the problem, because there is a way to prove it, even if it's a more drastic one. I originally meant more along the lines of things that seem unlikely at the point of time. Like..when you act all cheerful and easygoing in a situation that is more grim than anything else. I just can't grasp the concept of something like that. I honestly see less reason in that, than in believing the superantural, because that is something I do know.'', he'd attempt to explain with a light sigh. What was this...self-reflection time? He was almost loosing track of what he was talking about by now. Still, it was appropriate to at least try and get a point across if they were already discussing this. Hyde's initiative was nice, though he kept somewhat taking things from a slightly different angle most of the time.

When Hyde went over to put a hand on his shoulder, he would stay still, only turning his head to stare at the redhead as he listened to the speech about hope and all. Hm, he did understand, but he simply couldn't help to find it a bit idealistic. Sure, he wasn't against hoping for something here and there, but when it came to larger things...it was always questionable whether it was worth it, just to possibly keep waiting forever. ''I..didn't mean it neccesarily had to be only something right in front of me. As long as there's a way to prove it, it's not that big of a deal. The problem is blindly believing is something that sounds a bit unlikely from the start, and cheery happy-endings usually do fall into that category for me. I suppose I can hope, but not in such a large range. That's just too much for me. You can never say if something will end well for sure, and the worse the situation looks from the start, the harder it is to actually believe in a good ending. I'm simply not the type to reach for something that is way too far away even in the beginning.'', he'd answer Hyde's following question as he smoothed his hair a little with one hand. ''Though, I'll admit it's probably good for you. After all it takes some willpower to be like that. Maybe I should just try to think of fluffy pink sheep whenever it starts to irk me. Maybe that'll help.'', he'd add after a moment, with a low laugh. It was ridiculous alright, but what choice did he have?

Everything is made throughout our perception. Did you ever hear of some claims that the words you say and the positive energy that you put out tend to disperse and circle bout? There is power in the tongue; I’d like to believe that. So when I say that it’s going to be alright or a beautiful day, I say it with hope that putting it out there would make it rebound in kind as much into more feasible results throughout our lives. You get what I’m saying?” Hyde would say as he made a small hand gesture to Sharaku. He was trying his best to explain. He also laughed a little when Raku mentioned the fluffy pink sheep remark. “Yea well, they aren’t exactly the most appealing of creatures if they are jumping over your face when you sleep. Imagine having to wake up to something like that, I think pink is a bit much when it comes to the color of an animal. “ Hyde would say as he rubbed his head and look back at the tree. “ I want to be like that tree, and reach as far as I possibly can. “

''Perhaps so.'' Sharaku would give Hyde a slightly amused smile. Sure, he did hear...but..it wasn't always guaranteed. When someone didn't want to be happy, no words from another person would change that fact. ''Though, wouldn't that depend on the target? Sometimes, no matter what you attempt to do, it's as if you were throwing peas at a stone wall. Then again, I suppose you're right that trying does not hurt. Still, why keep on if it doesn't seem to be working, hm?'' To be completely honest, sometime it wasn't the idea itself that was bothersome, but the fact that one would keep pressing on, even if it was obviously bringing little to no effect. Once the point becomes moot, then it's more annyoing than anything. He would raise an eyebrow in slight confusion at first when Hyde responded to his sheep remark. Jumping over someone's face when sleeping..what? How was that even in line with what he had been saying...? Oh well...''Hm, well I personally don't see anything wrong with pink. And there are some animals of that color, are there not?'', he'd say, still a little confused at the switch of meanings, shaking his head a little to attempt clearing his thoughts, before turning to look at the tree Hyde was mentioning. ''So, you want to be super tall?'', he'd remark in a somewhat amused tone. He had an idea of what was the redhead getting at, but he just couldn't feel that serious anymore. Too much soft-talk for today already.

Yea, I would be like the world’s tallest basketball player. However, the downside would be to die because of gigantism. Tall people don’t live to look if they get too big, that’s what I heard at least. Hyde would say as he turned back around to face Sharaku. ‘Well, you keep trying if it doesn’t seem to work. Sometimes there’s a giving point for everybody and everything. You hear something so many times that you start to believe in it yourself. It is working, because you don’t seem to reject me entirely. Maybe there’s that one person in all of our lives that we need that could tell us that it’s not the end of the world. “After speaking about basketball, a thought came in Hyde’s mind. “Hey, Raku. You play any sports? How do you usually stay fit?

Subject: Re: Visiting a monument [Sharaku] Mon Nov 24, 2014 5:37 pm

''Whatever it'd be, you'd probably just end up scaring people away with that kind of heigth, Hyde. I'm sure you're tall enough already.'' Sharaku would remark fleetingly, giving the redhead a slight lookover. He didn't think it would actually suit Hyde to be taller than he was now. As interesting as it would be to have to look upwards at a person once in a while, he couldn't imagine Hyde in that position. It'd be weird, all things considered. ''Hm...'', he would hum lightly, when Hyde came back to the previous subject, stating that his strategy should be working considering he hadn't been told off completely yet. An interesting logic, though pushing the redhead away was never the intention behind this. ''Does it? I was never attemting to reject what you were saying. I'm simply stating that I have troubles seeing your point of view most of the time. Can't say whether it means it's working or not.'', he'd say, a light shrug in tow, before staring at Hyde blankly for a few seconds as the redhead suddenly switched topics again, this time to sports. Might as well go with the flow though...easier than getting repeatedly confused. He already knew it was useless to question Hyde's initiative on these sharp turnabouts. ''It's mostly because I move about a lot. I'm not the type to stay still for too long, I find it unsettling. I wouldn't say I play any sports, though I could if needed. It's not too hard. Any reason you're suddenly interested?'', he'd answer, as well as inquire, looking at Hyde a little inquisitively. What...did he want to play some game now? Honestly, Sharaku wasn't sure what to expect out of Hyde anymore. Better be prepared for anything. Interpreting the redhead's words correctly was not always an easy task.
