Event | Landfall | Bresilyk | Aihsohlow
Characters: Any and all!
Date: December 3 - 11, 2013
Location: Aihsohlow, Bresilyk (landfall)
Situation: Tu Vishan makes landfall at the winterbound republic of Bresilyk!
Warnings/Rating: Please include warnings in comment subject lines
OOC Post | Approved Items | Special Gifts
Aihsohlow | Phorezton | Markutte | Countryside
The starting point of landfall and the smallest port of importance in all the republic. All visitors will have a fish mark stamped on their tin visa if they are granted access here. The homes here are sturdy and built to withstand the harsh sea winds, though the dome has rendered their sturdiness largely irrelevant as the years pass. Fish represent the primary theme of food, with preserved and smoked renditions a commodity often sent for trade to others towns. Local authorities will ask for the tin card visa of each visitor upon first sight, verifying the information with some scrutiny before handing it back and allowing them to continue onwards. There are some auctions held here, with the items obtained often showing signs of recovery from the ocean floor by diving parties in search of fish to net.

Kaine forced himself to think of something, anything else. He thought of Aracely, of Annabelle, of Donald and Wally. The memories and the phantom pain subsided. His thoughts drifted to Peter, and then to May. And then he had an epiphany.] May might know.
Her costume is based off of Ben's... His other costume. When he took over for Peter.
I wouldn't be surprised if she's used his shooters.
no subject
His attention has fallen back on the webshooters by the time Kaine speaks up, which makes him blink in surprise.] May... I guess it's definitely worth asking her. Not like we have anything to lose, right?
no subject
no subject
Well, first things first. We still need a bag to hold this stuff in safely until we get back to the turtle.
no subject
The priest. The priest would know what to do. Why couldn't there have been a church on this goddamn turtle?
Kaine hands the bundle to Peter. Peter deserves it far more than he does, and this Parker never even met him.]
no subject
What... are you doing? I don't have a backpack on me, so unless you don't mind me stuffing this under my shirt, then...
[In Peter's mind, this should stay with Kaine. It means something to him, something so much more than Peter could probably even begin to fathom. He's okay with studying Ben's tools of the trade, but that was about the extent of it.]
no subject
Ben wouldn't want me... I shouldn't have it. Take it, it's yours.
no subject
... What?
No, this is- You should take it.
no subject
He was much closer to you. Other you. He'd want you to have it.
I'm the last person to take it.
no subject
... I could- I dunno, frame it for you.
no subject
[Kaine immediately regrets saying that. He had been doing so well, too...]
no subject
And suddenly, Peter understands. All those questions Kaine had asked about his own clones, about Gwen, if they were leading happy, healthy, normal lives. It might've been something that Ben managed to have, as he'd taken on a whole new name and life. Kaine didn't go that route. At some point he must've lashed out, did something he now regrets. He feels guilty. It's an emotion that Peter is actually extremely familiar with, and the probable, unfortunate truth is that Kaine inherited those guilt issues from the Parker blood. But Peter understands.
And he's pushed Kaine just a little too far here. He ducks his head slightly, letting his eyes fall on the costume in his hands.]
...Fine. I'll take it. But only if you start talking to me about all this stuff that's bothering you under the surface. That's what friends do. They talk. Okay?
no subject
no subject
I'm not asking you to spill your guts out. I just want you to actually say when something bothers you, instead of just telling me to shut up. I will totally take "I don't wanna talk about it" over "Shut up, Parker."
no subject
Now I'm reminded why I left New York in the first place. To get away from you.
no subject
And that... actually hurt a little. His hold on the costume tightens a little, his gaze drops toward the ground, his frown hardens. He knows Kaine plays it rough all the time, but that right there stung. It probably shouldn't, since Peter's been quick to push people away before for their own safety. Maybe it's just weird to be on the receiving end.]
I get that you've got all this crap in your past that you're working through and you wanna do it on your own. I've got stuff, too. That's fine. But you know, I'm serious when I say I think we're friends, that I'd even like to consider you a brother. It'd just be nice to think that the feeling was mutual, that's all.
[And this is the part where Peter seriously considers running off, to climb up the side of the nearest building and go rooftop to rooftop to help clear his head.]
no subject
I'm not a good person, Peter. You don't want to be my friend.
[He wanted to run away, just the way he had when they first met. He had found himself caring for this little Peter, more than he knew he should. Monsters didn't get friends, they didn't get happy endings. It was better to push him away now, so he could go back to being alone again. It was what he deserved.]
no subject
[He pulls in a breath, forcing himself to focus on a spot on the ground. And then it happens. All the nervous energy that had been building up for him to run starts coming out the wrong way: from his mouth.]
I've met bad people before, Kaine. The things I did back home? I've met them. I've fought them. They do horrible things to people and don't give it a second's thought. And you- Maybe you've done some bad stuff in the past. I don't know, but maybe, and it's like you're- you're punishing yourself or something. I can tell. I.. I do it all the time. And that's-- I think the fact that you're doing that, that you feel like you have to, I think that means you're way better than you think you are.
no subject
But, for reasons he couldn't understand, he remained right where he stood. He couldn't help but feel that, even if he tried to run, his body wouldn't obey him.]
So if Norman Osborn--[Kaine spat out the words with venom. After all, the man had killed both (this) Peter and Ben and was ultimately responsible for his miserable life.]--showed up tomorrow, acting like he was feeling bad for all he's done, you'd think he's changed? That he's a good person now? Don't kid yourself Peter. People don't change.
[As much as he hated Norman Osborn, Kaine knew in the end he was no better than him.]
no subject
Kaine, you're not Norman Osborn. You're totally not even in the realm of evil and crazy that he's in.
[That said, Peter had thought he'd seen some flash of a good man in him when he realized what he'd done to his own son. But whatever that had been, it was gone the next time their paths crossed.]
I think-- that people can. They just don't always really want to. Osborn- He basically blamed me for everything. He wasn't going to change himself, and he didn't-- [ Up to his last breath.] But you're different. You can, and I think you want to.
no subject
no subject
But it's clear that Kaine really believes he's a monster. He really seems to want Peter to stop, for his own good. And Peter knows that argument too well.]
You're not a monster, Kaine. And even if you do "turn" on me one day, how about you let me deal with that if it happens??
no subject
You're so naive. In all my years against Parker, Reilly, and all the others... [read: clones] they never once beat me in combat. What makes you think you're any different?
no subject
But hadn't it been worth it to protect Aunt May and the others? ]
For one thing, have any of them lived with you for as long as I have here?
