Craving Something Sweet! (OPEN)

Vernos planted himself down in one of the booths located in the Sweet-Tooth Palace. After a long day of "police work" he felt as if he deserved to treat himself to something sweet. Maybe a cake, maybe a pie. The options were most certainly limitless. He scanned through the menu not fully knwoing what he wanted or more importantly what Bonju and Himself wanted; he was eating for two.

WHAT ARE THE OPTIONS? I'VE NEVER HAD CAKE OR PIE..WHAT IS A CAKE?
It is really good, its sweet and soft and spongy. I think you'll like it. Pie is more crusty but sweeter than cake in my opinion. I would recommend it since you tend to favor fruit a lot.
PIE IS FRUIT?! LETS GET THE PIE! DO THEY HAVE APPLE? Vernos laughed as it seemed Bonju was excited to finally try his very first pie. He waived over to a waitress and ordered a large slice of apple pie; the perfect triangular wedge. After five minutes of waiting the waitress came back with a steaming hot apple pie served on a porcelain white plate and a silver fork. It was time to feast.

Kamala would walk into the place so she can relax from the other ordeal. Food was a sure fired way to do just this.Their were no familiar body structures well none that stood from the crowd. So you end up gong to the front counter to go order some sweets then go to where you wanted to go originally before your day was ruined by an imbecile  named that was ironically named Day. But you deserve this after your stressful day in this town that said it would offer peace. You got here the wrong day as per normal. You begin thinking maybe your dad was right that people are a colossal waste of time. Then you think no he was wrong people are necessary maybe one day you'll get a good friend who doesn't hate your guts."Hun it'll be ok you got me you always have me here. Plus that one guy he was nice to you. You'll be fine and you won't be alone."Kamala would smile a bit when she said that to her she would then go up smiling at the waitress then went to order her some sweets for the day. "What do guys have for today?What would you recommend for me?"She would then say in a very hushed tone to the waitress. "I'm blind so I can't see the menu. I'm not trying to be mean." She would then await the ladies response to what she said to her.

It's that girl from earlier, Vernos said looking in her direction as it looked like she was about to make an order. He walked up from his booth to go greet her. She seemed to have been ordering. He overheard her saying how she was blind and couldn’t see the menu so he decided to offer his assistance.
WHAT IS IT THAT YOU MIGHT BE DOING VERN? Bonju had said as Vernos put down the pie, I WANT MY PIE!
You will get it soon, but first I must help out a friend. Vernos walked up to the side of the girl, feeling bad for forgetting her name he had reintroduced himself in hopes that she would remember him.
“Hello, I remember you from earlier. My name is Vernos. I am so sorry for forgetting yours; it’s been a crazy day. This is my favorite place to go to when I want to unwind and eat something sweet. I definitely recommend their pies that have so many varieties from Apple to Mango!” Vernos was getting excited just explaining what they had to offer. He really loved the Sweet-Tooth Palace. It made the world seem brighter in one way or another despite all the chaos. It was all thanks to Yakao that they could live here in peace and harmony.He

"You don't know my name because I never told you it. My name is Akane and your the nice one with the protective giant man.He's one of those core spirit things right?You two work well together if I may say so myself.He's really funny maybe he can meet my spirit buddy too.Oops I should order something. I want Apple Pie I love Apple Pie No ice cream or whip cream please." She would smile in anticipation. It was like their wasn't a fight at all today. She looked like a starry eyed kid in a candy shop filled with rainbows.She would grasp the counter looking around the place as if she could see the area.

Vernos smiled at Akane as her voice sounded so pure and innocent than what it was once before. The fumes from the delicate sweets were filling the whole palace making it impossible for his stomach not to rumble. He let out a slight embarrassed laugh, "If you wouldn't mind, you can sit with me at my booth. Even though I do have company it's not entirely actual company if you get what I mean,"
HEY!
You know I still think you're awesome Bonju but the only time I can talk to your physical form is when we are in core form.
THAT IS TRUE. NO OFFENSE TAKEN THEN CHILD...THIS TIME.

"I'm just over here," Vernos said after having a telepathic chat with Bonju. He was sor eady to have some of his pie that he had almost forgotten to wait for Akane. However Bonju's will for hunger was way stronger than Vernos had anticipated and immediately he had Vernos rush to the table to finally take a bite out of his first pie. Cutting into the crust of the pie Vernos picked it up with his fork and consumed the pleasure.
OH MY Bonju had said, BY ALL THINGS KILAL AND ASHARA THIS PIE IS THE MOST HEAVENLY THING I HAVE EVER TESTED SINCE TREE SAP.
Vernos couldn't help but let out a laugh as he was pleased that Bonju liked pie. This will make their hang outs more..tasteful?

"Bonju is great company he's also very funny."She waited for her pie once she got it. She looked at what pie he got. "Apple? You like apple too?! That's wonderful! We have stuff in common! What is your favorite food?She looked at him smiling happy that they had some common ground.She took in a big whiff of the pie then digged  into the pie. her face was very messy after the first pie.Yum! That's amazing! she then licked her face off most stuff on it then went back to eating the pie.Her face still starry eyed and happy about this."Hello Bonju. What's up with you? Do you like Apple pie? It's amazing ain't it?" She would still have food in her mouth as she was saying that.Then she would smile again.

Vernos smiled at the happy Akane as she began to eat the pie. It felt great being able to relax. This place truly made him forget about the days earlier altercation. He took another bite into the pie and immediately felt a warm sensation deep within his core; it was clear Bonju was enjoying the pie.
"Bonju enjoys the pie a lot," Vernos smiled at Akane.
I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THE GIRL VERNOS. ONLY AFTER WE HAVE FINISHED THE PIE. A slight unease chilled down Vernos's spine as he was oblivious to what Bonju wanted to speak to Akane about.
What is the reasons for you talking to her. This is new for you.
I MUST SPEAK WITH THIS GIRL. SHE IS CORLIEK. EVEN THOUGH SHE HAS A GREAT CONNECTION WITH SPIRITS I AM ALWAYS HESITANT OF THE FRIENDS YOU MAKE. MIGHT I REMIND YOU OF THE ALTAMONE YOU MET A YEAR OR SO BACK? Vernos grew quiet for a brief moment wishing that Bonju didn't bring up the incident with the Altamone...Vernos's dark secret.
"It appears bonju would like to speak to you after we have finished our meal if you are up for a conversation with him," Vernos smiled again as he continued to eat his pie; still as warm as ever.

Kamala would smile with glee as she ate her pie. She felt a lot better here since it felt familiar in a way. She completely forgot the big fight from earlier today.She would take another bite of her pie as it seemed for a moment her troubles melted away in an instant. She was starry eyed again and this moment was awesome. " Awesome! What is his favorite pie?" Kamala smiled back at Vernos. Kamala looked at Vernos a bit nervous then asked. "Are you ok? Did I scare you?" She looked nervous at him."Alright yeah that would be good.Bonju is cool and your ok right?" She would eat a bite and smiled again.

Vernos reverted back to his usually calm and collected face as he finished the last of his pie, "This is actually Bonju's very first pie. He has had everything on the Sweet Tooth palace menu except for the pie and I decided to treat him today," Vernos smiled at Akane as she seemed to have noticed his sudden change in tone, "I am fine and everything's alright. This is just the first time Bonju has ever willingly talked to anyone on his one without me having to be in core form so this it just caught me by surprise," Vernos stood up from his seat and handed his plate to one of the waitresses. Bowing to her he headed for the door, "I will be outside when you are finished with your pie. Enjoy," Vernos stepped out of the building and walked to the right to lean on the Palace. 

What is it that you honestly want to know from her? I will find out anyways but why keep it a secret Bonju?
I KEEP NO SECRETS BOY. THIS IS A SAFETY PRECAUTION FOR YOU. I HATE TO ADMIT THIS BUT IF YOU WERE TO BE KILLED I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO WITH MYSELF.
Vernos took a deep breath as he looked tot he sky. He was instantly reminded of all the events that took place that day and even the war going on. The 'spell' of the palace had wore off as he continued to stare at the sky. The sun was setting and cascading colors of pink and orange blanketed the Eastern portion of Odrea. The sun giving off its last bit of golden light before it took its rest till the morning. Many of the townspeople would walk by greeting and waving to Vernos as he would smile and wave back.

A storms coming Bonju.
IT SURE IS.

" That's sweet of you to be nice to him. He probably appreciates that a lot." She would be shockingly calm for once. " She take a moment to listen to him again." Oh then I'm a special case huh? That's awesome. I guess that would startle you if that was the first time you ever heard him do that. I would be nervous if Fazu did something that was out of the ordinary." She looked at Fazuboru a bit nervously as she then answered her with a calm telekinetic reminder. 'Don't worry I won't leave you like everyone else does. I'll always be here you can't chase me away even if you tried dear. Now should calm down now we don't want any brash decisions. Also are you sure he won't hurt you his core seems quite violent.' Kamala then replied back to her in a calmer telekinetic voice. ' Yes I'm sure. Bonju is just very protective of him is all and a little fighting never hurt anyone.' Fazuboru would then sigh at her. ' A little patience wouldn't hurt anyone either you know? You can get a rest fighting isn't the answer to everything.' ' Blah blah blah your sometimes boring you know that? But I get it thanks.'Kamala then notice Vernos was outside once she finished her pie she would walk out to him the sun not out but she couldn't tell any how since everything looked like darkness all the time any way so night never scared her in the slightest.She then proceeded with a question that made no sense for her to ask at all." Beautiful ain't it?" She said this in a gleeful way that made it almost seem like she could actually see the sky. " So Bonju what did you want to talk about? I'm all ears." Fazuboru would then say in a polite but sturn voice to them. " And I will need to take a moment to talk to you two afterwards."

Vernos took another deep breath as he would see that Akane had finally stepped out of the palace. The comment she had 'beautiful isn't it'. He let go of a soft smile when she had said that, not fully knowing if she was serious or not. Nonetheless it was nice for him to have company; him and bonju do tend to bump heads quite often.
"I am going to need you to take a deep breath for me here," Vernos closed his eyes as he placed two fingers on Akane's forehead. His aura radiated from his being for a moment before transferring them both to Bonju's Realm. The sky a hazy, starry purple smoke color and he ground beneath was black with ancient patterns on it that radiated green and purple.
Bonju emerged from behind Vernos and was towering over both him and Akane.

WELL WELL WELL. WELCOME AKANE. PLEASURE TO MEET YOU. I WOULD LIKE TO PROPERLY INTRODUCE MYSELF AS BONJUHIO BUT YOU CAN JUST CALL ME BONJU.
Vernos smiled at Akane as he remained standing next to Bonju.
"This is my first time sending someone here, and it looks like I did it right. Are you feeling any different at all?" Vernos asked Akane with a concerned tone in his voice. He wanted to make sure that his spirit transferring was a success.
YOUR TOO HARD ON YOURSELF LAD. IM SURE YOU DID EXCELLENTLY. NOW I DO APOLOGIZE BUT LETS GET DOWN TO BUSINESS. Bonju plopped down on the ground creating a large rumble. He picked vernos up and caught him off guard causing him to wail a bit. He then palced vernos on his shoulder as Bonju exmained Akane.

She would take a deep breath as he told her to. She also closed her eyes instinctively as he told her to. She then opened them expecting not to see anything like she normally does.But then she saw the area around her. She touched the ground beneath her and smiled brightly . “ Can I take a moment to look around?” She would not actually wait for him to answer she  would take off running and then jumped in the air landing on the ground. “ Fazu can I be here forever and ever. I can see here and it’s full of wonderful wonderfulness.” She would hug Bonju and Vernos smiling happily.She then would just stand there taking the view in of this place and smiled brightly.Fazuboru was happy that she was happy about this wonderful event gave her so much happiness. “ Calm down I know you’re excited to see right now. You can see in this world it’s the spirit world. But we need to answer the questions they ask us.” Kamala would then sit looking up at Bonju. “ You’re very tall Bonju sorry for getting all distracted I was just excited about seeing.”

It made vernos happy to see Akane full of so much joy. Bonju's home was in fact a very beautiful place. Vernos always felt at peace being here. Away from everything; this was his true home. He was surprised that Akane had hugged him, not only him but Bonju as well. Seeing the joy in her face made him forget about his worries and struggles. If he could make people that happy, he knew that he could change the world...one way or another.

When Akane had finally calmed down it was time for the serious discussion to begin. What Bonju had to say to Akane could  go many ways with dire outcomes but hopefully she wouldn't take anything he said to heart. Bonju is a natural sweet giant but over time he knew how to not let sweetness get by with a slap on the wrist.
I AM GLAD THAT YOU LIKE MY HOME. HAPPY TO SEE YOU HAPPY. AND IF YOU THINK I AM TALL YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN THE WOMAN I FELL IN LOVE WITH...THATS A DIFFERENT MATTER BWAHAHAHA, BUT I NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOUR INTENTIONS IN LIFE ARE, BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TO SEE MY FRIEND VERNOS BE BETRAYED BY ANYONE. AND ALTHOUGH YOU SEEM LIKE A SWEET GIRL I WILL WARN YOU THAT VERNOS WILL ALWAYS COME FIRST. HE IS MORE THAN A FRIEND TO ME, HE IS LIKE A SON. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT IS YOU ARE HOPING TO DO IN LIFE AND IF YOU ARE WILLING TO TRAVEL WITH US TO FIND DAVID PADILLA
Vernos snapped his attention to Bonju surprised he asked her to join but mainly surprised he mentioned David Padilla. It was entirely unexpected to say the least.

She would change her face to a serious looking up at Bonju now slightly confident with her words. “ I came here for therapy I came here…. Ok I’ll cut that bullshit. My goal in life is to do whatever the hell I want alright? I will not be the hero of anyone and don’t plan on saving anyone alright. I will not betray him unless he betrays me first. Long as as he doesn’t intentionally ruins my day I won’t ruin his. But if he does I will not hesitate to destroy. Is that clear to you? Don’t worry I have Fazu she’s like a mom to me and get it I would not want her to put anyone else before me. Also I’m not sweet I will warn you about that I have anger issues and might possibly not get along with others if you have a group.Well if that David guy does exist I will most likely want to destroy him. He probably thinks my life is a joke.” Her eyes flared up with anger at the thought of it.

Core spirits don't have mouths but looking at Bonju's face you could tell that he was smirking. Both Bonju and Vernos looked at each other as Vernos looked to the floor. Apparently they new something that no one else knew, LET ME TELL YOU THIS. ANGER ISSUES OR NOT YOU ARE NO MATCH FOR DAVID PADILLA. I KNOW THIS FROM FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE. HIS CORE SPIRIT IS A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH AND HE IS ONE THAT CAN NOT BE DESTROYED. I AM NOT DOUBTING YOUR POWER. I LIKE YOU AKANE. FAZU FROM WHAT I CAN SEE IS THE BEST SPIRIT FOR YOU. BUT IT WILL TAKE MORE THAN AN ARMY TO TAKE DOWN DAVID PADILLA.

Bonju looked at Vernos as it appeared his was rather uncomfortable. This whole topic about David Padilla was getting to him and he didn't want anyone to take him lightly but at the same time he didn't want anyone to get hurt. His plan was to gather a group, one person from each race have all of them train with one another and become strong enough to fight him. He knows they can but he is in doubt about his abilities.

THE TRUTH IS AKANE. VERNOS HAS LOST HIS WAY ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO. THE FIRST AND LAST PERSON HE HAD EVER KILLED. Vernos snapped a glare at Bonju in disbelief that he would bring up such a topic. GO ON AND TELL HER VERNOS. I BELIEVE SHE WAS SENT FROM THE HEAVENS. YOU GUYS ARE OPPOSITES YET THE SAME.

Vernos looked at Akane. His mouth fidgeting slightly not wanting to tell her but he knew one way or another he would have to, "A long time ago, I had only one friend before in my life. My best friend you could say. We did everything together. I saved his life from creatures he saved my life from reggs. Reggs do terrible things to Vanutei to help fuel their weapons. They were going to kill me to take my life force and strip bonju's energy from my corpse. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't be here today. Or so I thought. He had sold me out. He told a group of reggs where I would be at what time and they had raided my home almost kidnapping me. I do not know why he would do such a thing..." Vernos clenched his fist as the aura of the spirit realm turned a deep dark purple color and the sky a hazy red, "I trusted him..and he betrayed me. They offered him a fortune in gyun to rat me out. I guess our friendship wasn't priceless. When I escaped from the reggs, bruised and almost beaten I found him....and I couldn't control my anger. I summoned Bonju out of rage...which is what Vanutei's call berserk mode. I clenched his body in the hand of bonju and crushed him until i could see his spirit dripping out of his mouth...I never want to be betrayed again...which is why I have no friends till this moment..." Vernos couldn't say anymore but the spirit realm remained the color of his anger. Cold, hurt and dark.

WE BOTH SUFFERED THAT NIGHT. BUT THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT YOU YOUNG CORLEIK THAT MAKES YOU DIFFERENT FROM EVEN KOBA MOARI. WE WOULD LIKE YOU TO TRAVEL WITH US AND PUT A STOP TO THIS WAR. IT IS TIME FOR THIS WORLD TO EXPERIENCE PEACE ONCE AGAIN. ARE YOU WILLING TO HELP US? Bonju looked at her very deeply.

She would smile at him when he said that to her.” I know that I’m not that much of an idiot to think I can defeat him alone. The proposal sounded like a group one.Then again I don’t really get along with people.” She looked crestfallen and sad as she said that to him.Fazuboru instantly felt her pain. ‘Don’t worry you’ll get better at making friends . You’re making one right now. Plus I’m here for you.’ She felt reassured when Fazu will always be there for her. She would smile again. “ As I said you have to hurt me first in order for me to hurt you. Plus I can’t rat you out anyway no one likes me but Fazu I make a lot of enemies. I have 0 interest in studying your species as is I know what I need to know about you and that is your nice and haven’t hurt me yet. Don’t compare me to Koba I’m not him and I don’t aspire to be a hero in anyway. I’ll help you though simply for me so that the person that watched my parents die will fall. That and you're my friend? Maybe? And friends help others reach their goals. We are friends right?"

As both Vernos and Bonju looked at each other they listened to Akane and her words. It was clear that she was on board with Vernos and Bonju's proposition which was good on vernos's part because all the help he can gather, all the help he could get would make his dream come true and even help those traveling with him. He wanted to make sure that he could be trusted because his plan could only work if the trust level was high.

"We are friends I would like to think,"
OF COURSE WE ARE! Things were looking up, it was just a matter of what to do when the time came that they met David Padilla. Vernos hoped that all would work out as he had hoped and planned. Failure in this instant could be a deciding factor of death and that is not what he wanted to happen, not at all.

"So are you willing to help me out here?" Vernos said as sincere as he could have possibly sounded.

She smiled at him. "As I said yeah I'll come join you on your journey. I guess we have to leave this place though to do this and I'll be blind again. Lets go and destroy our enemies!"She reached out with her hand to shake his hand. " Also don't expect me to get along with the rest of the group.But I'll work with them since we need all of them.Then we'll pie when were done with this journey. It will all be grand!"She was very happy and hopeful for this journey she felt this was a grand idea. The journey ahead of her filled her with determination.

Vernos happily smiled at Akane as she was overjoyed about being able to eat some more pie with him and Bonju. Things were looking grand for the most part and his team was almost complete he just needed two more people and then the journey could officially begin. He had returned them both to being back in front of the the sweet tooth palace smiled.

"Well here we are again," He said as it was now night time. "I want you to come by my house later tonight. I am located directly in front of the fountain. I have to go report back to my office and tell them about the incident today since I'm sure they found out about it already," Vernos let out a exhausted sigh as he began to walk in the direction of his office, "Remember my place later tonight! Seeya Soon!"
