round 2 // .paris. // isaac // male // ooc // form one

prompts: write a story (up to 800 words) conveying their relationship

with their best friend - this can be a kalon or non-kalon.

the most beautiful things in life are, on occasion, the most simplistic.

the most luminous sunsets are often only a composition of
three or four colors. the most unique art is often that which
is only made up of a few key elements. the most meaningful
things are often only a few key words, striking close to the
heart and filling people to the brim with appreciation.

and computers, as complex as they may seem, are only
made up of simple strings of ones and zeros, combined to
make one of the most complicated pieces of technology
ever designed.

people, in isaac’s eyes, were not simple. they didn’t make
logical sense; they did things out of order, they were irrational,
they were moody. they were not governed by the same logical
process that computers were, following their complex and often
unpredictable emotions instead of simple, planned binary code.

isaac, at his core, simply didn’t care for other people.

but he cared for his computer.

every piece of his computer was snugly in the palm his hand.
he could make it look and do as he pleased, instead of being
forced to concede to other people’s wishes like he was in real
life. the people on the internet were easy to avoid, if he
wanted to; it wasn’t like how it was at school, where he had
to nod and smile and pretend he wasn’t deeply uncomfortable
with every interaction he had to have, their stares crawling
under his pelt and their words grating against the soft linings
of his ears. on the internet, he didn’t have to be who other
people wanted him to be. he could be totally, completely,
wholly himself.

thus, it was where he met chell. at first, he
only saw her name floating around similar forums, a flicker
of recognition before he went on with his duties. however,
they slowly began to interact, even debate, as she held her
own against his vast sea of knowledge.

in short, she impressed him.

slowly, he reached out to her, a digital hand flexing through
the screen, a binary olive branch extended through the
millions of people on the internet, reaching only her.

she accepted without hesitation.

though they never met in person, their bond was a strong as
any real life friendship. they talked computers often; chell’s
parents had been fanatic gamers, and encouraged her interest
in the technologic world. she was studying computer science,
just as he was, and in their spare time, they frequently would
exchange and correct each other’s code.

outside of the internet, though, chell became his one
unwaveringly loyal friend. no matter what occurred in his life,
or how he felt on any given day, she was there for him without
fail. an ocean away, she was truly on a keyboard away.

in turn, isaac learned how to communicate with people. chell
was patient and kind, accepting him for who he was no matter
how long it took him to come around. she saw potential in him,
a spark greater than any flash of electricity, a knowledge more
vast than any database.they balanced each other out, and for
that, and for her, he was eternally grateful.

before he knew chell, he would have been adamant that his computer
was his only friend. now he was sure he had a best friend unlike any
other he had had before: chell. and he couldn’t have been more grateful.

"Iggy!" A voice called out behind him as the assembly ended. "Iggy, wait up!"

Igneus turned to see a blue-eyed, dark-furred kalon with stark white patterns run up to him. It was his childhood friend, Theodore Evershine, a bright young student whose clowny antics often got him into trouble - and, on the rare occasion, out of it again. His usual cheeky grin was nowhere to be seen; in fact, his friend looked rather concerned. Igneus paused to let him catch up before starting to walk to class again.

"Iggy, are you nuts?! I saw what..." He glanced around a bit and lowered his voice before continuing. "...what you signed up for... everyone thought you were going with potions. I mean, the choice was obvious, wasn't it?"

"Everyone thought wrong, then," Igneus said with a huff. "I'm not interested in potions. You and I both know that even if I had chosen that, I wouldn't have been good enough to live up to my parents' expectations. Heck, I can't even make a simple love potion! Never mind the super advanced romance whatever my mother makes." He sighed and shook his head. "Theo... I would've been a disaster. You know it."

Theo bit his lip, anxiety clearly showing through. "Yeah, okay... but dragon taming? Really? That's nowhere in your bloodline... You could've at least followed one of your grandparents, yeah? Or aunts, or uncles..." He started listing off more relatives on his fingers. "...Anyways. What possessed you to choose dragon taming, of all things?!"

Igneus shrugged, avoiding Theo's quizzical look. "I dunno, man. I figured it'd be something different."

His friend let out a snort. "Oh, it'll be different alright. No one graduates from that program in one piece. I'm sure by the time you reach your twelfth year you'll be a completely new kalon!"

"Listen, there's nothing to be done about it now. I've made up my mind, and even you can't change it." Igneus gave Theo a hard stare.

"Okay, okay." Theo shook his head, then met Igneus with a small grin. "I still think you're crazy, but you know I'm here for ya. Just come to me before any training events, yeah? I can at least try to forsee your luck if nothing else."

Igneus couldn't help but smile. "So you went with divination after all? I'm sure you'll be great. You always did have some sort of unnatural premonition. I'm sure your dad will be pleased."

"Heh, thanks. Yeah, my old man was trying so hard not to sway me one way or another. He was all 'this is your decision and yours alone' but I could tell he really wanted me to follow in his pawsteps. Besides, you know I like to know what's going on!"

"Oh yes, Theo. You're the biggest gossip in the academy!" This made the two of them laugh, and Igneus started to feel a little better as he chatted with his friend. He knew he could always rely on Theo to cheer him up, much like Theo often looked to Igneus for a rational mind whenever his anxiety got overwhelming. The two of them were inseparable, and over the years they had formed a great partnership that allowed them to play off each other's strengths.

Theo got quiet for a minute before asking another question. "Iggy, what are you going to do about your parents? I can't imagine what their reactions might be..."

Igneus sighed deeply and shook his head. "My mother will have a fit, I know that much. My father... well, he's either going to lecture me for days or ignore me entirely. It's hard to know for sure."

"Well, you're always free to come to my place if you need a break from them. My mom's obsessed with you, I swear!" Theo covered his mouth with a paw as he snickered. "But honestly. She seems to think you'll do well in life. Maybe this will be fine after all?" He looked at Igneus, blue eyes shining.

"Maybe so. I guess we'll just have to wait and see." Igneus shrugged, but he couldn't ignore the rising hope in his chest from his Theo's kind words.

"Bluuuuuh. You know I hate waiting!" Theo whined and rolled his eyes at Igneus's remark, but his bright smile wasn't far behind the exasperated expression. "But fiiiiine, I'll try to be patient. What do you say we swing by my place after classes? We can catch up on some Fireball Forces, and I'll bet my parents will have some sort of treat since it's a big day and all. I certainly don't mind sharing!"

Igneus smiled at nodded enthusiastically. "That sounds great! Your dad makes the best pastries." He thought quietly a moment before adding, "Thanks, Theo. I don't know what I'd do without you."

It was a long day... and the seas were sullen. Nothing was going on, surely it hadn’t mattered that Lux had taken a break? Captain Vane was off into town, maybe Lux would take the opportunity to explore. His heart had still weighed heavily... it had been a mere few months since the squalls that had deemed him a failure.... Right, that was a good idea, he’d go off to a secluded part of the island and make a memorial- even if he alone knew about it, it was the best he could build for those he lost. It was his fault they were gone.
Lux’s resolve strengthened, and he set off from the docks, leaving a small note on the ship’s deck. He slipped through the crowds with ease, head down and tail sweeping low. Even through the township and thickets, there was one noise he couldn’t seem to shake... Lux was confused, Vane hadn’t follow him surely, who would’ve thought to follow Lux of all people?
Just then, Lux discovered the source of the noise. Careening towards him, a ragged looking seagull crash landed to where Lux had stood seconds ago, squawking wildly before gathering its composure... Of course, Lux couldn’t help but laugh, what could a bedraggled bird want from him?
Kid, I know you’re laughing at me, and I know I’m a mess... but cut it out, alright? I’ve got somethin’ you might have a hankerin’ to hear. It spoke! The mysterious and albeit odd seagull had effectively captured poor Lux’s attention, and boy that wouldn’t end anytime soon.
Your friends, you’re looking for them aren’t you?
Lux stared blankly at him.
Alright. Seriously, is there a problem? The names Voodoo. I know I’m no well groomed prince or princess, but you’re still gonna want what I have.
Right, Lux thought, of course an overweight, glorified sky rat knows where my friends are. Well, it was better than thinking them dead in any case... So he agreed to house Voodoo, in exchange for his friends location. Captain Vane, however, was not as amused as Lux seemed to be. He made do, if and only if his crew were to be found.
It seemed as if this black-masked, obnoxious gull’s directions never ended... but at long last they reached an island covered in vast green thickets and full of exotics chirps and whirrs. Captain Vane sent the two of them off with all due fervor and a snarl, clearly done with Voodoo’s constant chattering. It wasn’t long before the others were found, in a storm of tears and apologies, Voodoo’s “I told you so”’s.
Vane eventually came to forgive Voodoo, and Lux began to love his affinity for direction and sense... The two became an inseparable team, bringing the crew to new and better heights, dangerous adventures, treasures which rivaled those of the most extravagant royals. Lux the navigator and Voodoo the sightsman, the two were best friends which finally cemented the crew in notoriety.
