Trustfell-verse CMO post

[foundfate]

This is thing for all post-Trustfell shenanigans involving Watanuki. There's a few options for whatever you might want:

1: Wish-granting - Watanuki is still running the wish shop, and will grant wishes for anyone who has wishes they want granted. This prompt is also open to any Trustfell characters, even ones from previous rounds. Though Trustfell people that aren't from Watanuki's round won't get quite as good of a deal on their wish.

2: world-hopping - Watanuki will go visit other people's worlds and do stuff with them.

Just specify which one you want when you make a top-level!

[If he has a wish, he can see Watanuki's shop. If he wishes hard enough, he can see Watanuki's shop. So if he wishes hard enough to see Watanuki, can he see his shop?

...It looks like the answer's yes, at least this time, because that shop certainly wasn't there before. He wanders through the gates slowly and looks around with Weavile close by his side.]

Hello?

[foundfate]

[Watanuki had been expecting a guest that day, so he was out front instead of being lazy in the lounge like he usually was. This particular guest was one who deserved the extra effort, so.

Watanuki is sitting on the front porch, a bottle and two glasses set on a small tray near him. He is dressed as he usually is, though his kimono is a different one from the one he had worn to Chronos University. He doesn't look any older than he did then, but how much time has passed has yet to be seen. Different worlds and different amounts of time passing for each one tended to be a problem as far as 'keeping track of each other' was concerned.]

Right on time. Hello, Silver.

[feistytrader]

[...Seeing Watanuki like this makes Silver wonder if he should have dressed up nicer. Oh well, too late now. At least he's not covered in dirt.

He brushes himself off briefly and approaches him; from how his clothes fit him, it looks like he might have gotten a little taller since they last met.]

Long time no see. [...] Did you really know I was coming?

[Does he know about the gift he brought him, too?]

[foundfate]

[Good, maybe he will someday match Watanuki's noodly height.]

I didn't know the exact day, but I knew you would be coming sooner rather than later.

[Like Christo and his 'I'm gonna chill for 7,000 years before coming to the shop' self.

But based on the fact that he did not mention it, he probably does not know about the gift.]

[feistytrader]

I wanted to come sooner, but it took a while to get to Hoenn, and...

[You know what? He can just show him. He walks over to Watanuki, pulls out a Pokéball, and offers it over to him.]

[foundfate]

[Well that sure is a thing.

Watanuki reaches out and takes the pokeball, and he looks over it as he holds it. Is it a clear one like Silver's are?]

[feistytrader]

[It sure is! Inside it is an Absol that already seems to be sizing Watanuki up from inside the ball.]

Go ahead, let him out.

[foundfate]

[What the hell is this weird dog-thing?

Though since Silver is insisting on it, Watanuki will go ahead and let Absol out.]

[feistytrader]

[If it's some weird dog-thing, it definitely looks like a weird dog thing that's large enough to ride; it sniffs the air and turns its head in several different directions- although it seems to always look in the direction of its horn- before looking at Silver for a brief moment.

Silver gives him a small nod, and he looks at Watanuki for a while longer before settling down by his feet. Well, that's that.]

This is an Absol. They have a pretty long lifespan and can sense disasters. I thought you might appreciate having a Pokémon like that around.

1 featuring timey-wimey shenanigans

[theopneusted]

[It's probably been a while since Lamington has seen Watanuki - being Seraph tends to have you busy, and it has been about... seven thousand years since the whole murder college incident, so there may or may not be the issue of whether Watanuki is still around granting wishes.

But time is much more flexible than most people think it is, so when Lamington sees the shop pop up in Celestia, he puts off all his plans to water his bonsai and enters, calling out politely.]

Is Watanuki in today?

[foundfate]

[Thankfully, time passing differently in each world meant that it hadn't been seven thousand years for Watanuki as well. A lot of time had passed for him, time that could be measured in centuries, but Lamington still had him beat in terms of years lived.

Watanuki thinks that time was far kinder to him, though. Because wow Lamington you got grey.]

Yes I am. Come join me.

[The voice comes from the parlor, which is just down the hall from the entryway. Watanuki even left the door open, so that Lamington could find it easily.

Watanuki himself is sitting on a large couch, smoking a long pipe. There's other things set out on a table nearby- some drinks, an incense burner, a few other odds and ends- but the only other object in the room is a chair. Sorry, he doesn't share his couch.]

[theopneusted]

[That's fine. The shopowner gets couch privileges, and Lamington is more than willing to settle for a chair.

He sinks down into the cushion and smiles brightly at Watanuki.]

Goodness, but it has been quite a while, from my perspective. Though, I suppose asking how long it's been for you is a bit too complicated to be a polite question.

[How does Watanuki measure the time passing? One can only guess.]

Are you well?

[...also, grey is his natural hair color, for the record.]

[foundfate]

[The same as anyone: with a clock.]

It has been long enough, I think. You're the last one to come here.

[Most of the others have already lived and died, even. Only the long-lived ones still remain, and even then some of them have died too.]

As well as I have ever been, I suppose. How about yourself? You must be troubled by something, to turn up here after having not needed my shop for so long.

[theopneusted]

[The short lives of the human and human-passing are a melancholy thought for Lamington, but they're a natural part of their existence, and he knew them well when they were still here to speak to. He doesn't regret not knowing them better.]

A few things. I've done my best to arrange things for a good ending, but I suppose I had significantly more doubt than I realized.

[foundfate]

So you need help with reaching your good ending, then?

[Lamington might want to clarify that point, because otherwise he might end up getting 'help' that isn't quite what he wants.]

[theopneusted]

[Being clear with wishes is something Lamington knows is important, so he hums in thought for a moment or two before answering.]

I want there to be a lasting peace between Celestia and the Netherworlds, rather than simply something that disappears once their current rulers do.

[He knows he has nothing against demons, and Flonne by now has nothing against demons, and at the very least Laharl has learned to understand angels a little better. But after they're gone, then who's to say that things won't revert back to the way they've always been?]

world-hopping!

[introspects]

[ At some point, Orihime gave Watanuki her address so he can visit her home when he comes to Karakura Town. She told him specifically that if she wasn't home, he could leave a note for her and slide it under her door; good thing she's in today, busy scrubbing the floor and doing other household chores.

If Watanuki approaches, he'll be able to smell some cleaning chemicals slipping outside from her open window. ]
