I could sleep. But I refuse to until we are miles away from this island. I'm not eating either, I don't trust anything from this island, at least until I'm sure this place's aura can'ta affect it.
[It's not as if he's going to be going on low energy any time soon, the phoenix in him makes sure that such a thing doesn't happen. He can't entirely control the aggressiveness, though, or he could, but the only way to do that would be to give in to the island. And he's not doing that. He made a promise with Marco.
Besides, with his luck either they were still there even when he returned from being dead or he was left alone in there while the crew sailed away.]
Surviving. Plain and simple, my "wandering home" isn't accessible while we're here either.
[Ikki's not familiar with sailor chants, so he just answers honestly to both questions. He's pretty much a wanderer anyway so to him it even makes sense.]
[it's probably not a good time to tell him that this was a supply stop, hence the bulk of their food would be from this land once they left. Thatch has the feeling it would only piss him off if he did.
What was he doing here? That was a question. he wasn't even sure himself. He wanted to stay away but he kept getting lured back-- only once he was here, it just made his skin crawl--too much in him wanting to get out]
I was thinking of covering the island in darkness. [said jokingly but there's definitely an edge to it]
[Joke or not, the comment makes Ikki's Cosmo stir, exactly the same way an angry and hungry tiger would when something edible approaches the bars of his jail. Ready to explode at any moment, wanting to, needing to. He takes a deep breath before a humorless smile comes to his lips, no one is around, at least not anyone he wouldn't want to hear him, so Ikki doesn't bother to be subtle or lie.]
You wouldn't have to ask. The only reason why I haven't burned this place is because of how Leanne and all the kids would get upset.
Though if we stay here for too long...
[Not even Marco's promise may help to keep his response to this place contained.]
What would happen if you did it? Covering it in darkness.
[so it was an unnerving place for phoenixes in general. Not just Marco. He wasn't sure what was up with them, nor why Ikki wasn't rolling in flowers but he supposed that some were more self contained than others]
Don't know. [he folds his arms. It's damn tempting to try. Too much in him wants to but...] The princess won't like it.
It's not a bad place. [and that's part of the problem. It's trying to change him to be like it. To poke at his edges. Pull him down. He couldn't help but feel trapped by it. To want to rebel. It made the darkness in him uneasy.
And thinking of it... He grinned at Ikki's next question]
Depends on what you consider "bad". Pushing people around until they bend to you or disappear so you can remain pure and holy isn't what I would call "good", no matter how much some like to gloat about it.
[Like Athena. Mostly Athena. Though even she knew her limits and would back off when told to. This place, however, doesn't know restrain or how to step back.
He let's out a breathless sigh at the challenge and he leans forward, eyes gleaming. He could accept it, would Thatch really do it? Kill him? It's really tempting, he certainly wouldn't mind but...]
I promised Marco not to kill or harm myself. So I suppose I'll have to pass unfortunately.
[Pause.]
Unless there's a way in which he would never learn of it?

[He makes a frustrated sigh and a growl.]
What happens to people when you cover them with darkness? Does it crush and kill them like a black hole?
no subject

Would you care to find out?
