Who: Akira and others!
Where: Around El Minha
When: A week or so after their arrival
Rating PG at worst???
What: Open post for further El Minha shenanigans
A. The Sparkling Sapphire
[it's nighttime now; the sun has already long since set over the bustling desert city known as El Minha. if you happen to be in your tavern room tonight, you may be getting a visitor]
[by which I mean, there's a thump right outside your tavern room door, before an unassuming teen suddenly falls right through said door as though he were a ghost phasing through a wall. he stumbles forward, arms windmilling at his sides, before he loses his balance completely and faceplants right onto the floor]
[ah]
[this was probably not done on purpose. anyway, help a poor guy out? or kick him out of your room, either/or!]
B. The Grand Market
[when he isn't accidentally falling through walls and doors and interrupting people before they fall asleep at night, Joker can be found in the Grand Market, perusing the booths with what seems like interest. that's normal enough, right?]
[what isn't normal is how he keeps picking up the wares for sale and looking underneath them, before placing them down again and moving onto the next one. it's almost like he's looking for something, and that something isn't a fancy fruit bowl with intricate carvings on the edges that's on sale for five coins]
[he lets out a huffed, frustrated noise, gaze sweeping the area. but when he happens to spot you, he lifts his head up with interest, and takes a step forward]
Have you seen a lizard around here? Very small, bright green scales, likes to nestle in people's hair?
[oh, so that's what he's looking for]

I would have believed you if you had stuck with the ghost story. I've got way more experience with them than I ever could have possibly wanted.
no subject
It sounds cooler too, doesn't it?
[wait--]
You have ghost experience? Are you. . . secretly a ghost buster?
no subject
[said pretty much immediately — Ghostbusters is one of the guy's favorite completely cheesy movies, along with Con Air and pretty much everything Nicolas Cage has ever been in.]
Ghosts have a habit of barging in kinda like how you just did where I'm from. Or maybe it was the other way around? I dunno.
A lot of 'em are armed with about as many puns as you are, too.
no subject
[who is John]
Personally, I think these ghosts sound like they know how to have a good time.
no subject
That's probably the least surprising thing I've ever heard you say, to be honest.
But yeah, you're probably right? You'd get along with the crazy fish one, at least; you'd both probably send all the ghosts into the second afterlife with your rapid-fire punning.
no subject
Either that, or lift their spirits with a bit of goodnatured humor. Personally, I'm hoping for the latter.
[. . .]
This is going to become a thing for us, isn't it?
[the. the puns]
no subject
[which is probably why the tone in his answer is just as deadpan.]
I'd be incredibly offended if it didn't.
no subject
I think it's a pretty good basis for friendship, personally.
no subject
[here, he'll even lift a hand, curling it into a fist. he knows fistbumps can be ironic, but can they be deadpan, too? let's find out.]
no subject
[because Akira totally delivers that fist bump with the most neutral expression he can manage. as he does. he even pulls his hand back and does the exploding-finger thing that some people do after fist bumps]
