as you may have noticed, activity has dwindled tremendously on this blog. for a long while i have been considering remaking this blog and i think it's time for me to do so. whether i return to isola after this hiatus or go indie i do not know yet, but guess we just have to wait and see.

for now, it has been fun and happy birthday you capitalist octopus.

being  able  to  haggle  is  an  absolute  necessity  in  his  eyes.  especially  as  a  starter,  one  does  not  have  the  connections  others  may  have.  if  you  want  to  stay  in  business  you  should  be  able  to  buy  materials  and  ingredients  at  the  right  price.  just  as  much  as  you  need  to  be  able  to  convince  other's  that  what  you  are  offering  is  something  that  they  must  have.  to  create  a  need  for  something  that  they  do  not  require.

"damn, you've got skill," yuri's been watching this guy haggle at the opalarian market for a few minutes now. normally, he'd find the idea of swindling people hard to stomach, but the customers looked wealthy enough to handle losing a few stars. no use wasting energy thinking about it.

"...plus that snazzy getup and everything," he takes a second to readjust the wooden sword resting across his shoulder, eyeing the other... er, less elegant stall owners before he continues, "don't you think you're trying a little too hard, though? if it works, it works, but... i dunno, maybe it's the hat giving off that shady con artist vibe."

❝      sounds  like  it  is  in  need  of  dire  repair.      ❞   he  comments  after  seeing  the  material  that  needs  to  be  replaced.  truth  was,  he  had  little  expertise  when  it  came  to  machinery  and  devices,  especially  those  on  land.  of  course  he  has  been  picking  up  a  thing  or  two  especially  with  naira  explaining.  he  didn't  like  feeling  out  of  his  comfort  zone,  but  he  would  trust  her  opinion  when  it  would  come  to  stuff  like  this.

AZUL.

     ❝      how long until it is fixed, @gamenu?      ❞ merfolk wonders with arms crossed over his chest. the durability of some devices really are a complete scam. when you buy a certain product you expect a certain quality. alas, as it would turn out this is often not the case. he ought to send it back, but naira was already working on it. of course she is. ❝      it definitely looks worse than i expected, do you still think it is salvageable ?     ❞ and he does not have the required materials to fix it properly.

         “–Oh!” Naira had been so enamored with the device, and what she could do to not only repair it, but increase it’s durability…that she had completely forgotten Azul was there! She had already replaced the actual part that had broken. A substitute, but one that would work better than what had been used before. All the fairy had to do was actually put it all back together, but the thoughts and ideas that ran through her mind were rampant and unceasing. He might not have the materials, but she was a fairy of improvisation and ingenuity and had all the solutions she needed. “I’ should work betta than new, Azul. Bu’…I can replace otha parts too. Cause i’s tha material. Like…i’s too flexible an’ thin. So i’ breaks an’ a’ some poin’ will start meltin’ from heat.”

❝ a fan of bitter food i presume @kozeriaii ? ❞ now the order wasn't something he really expected, in fact, he had been considering removing the dish from the menu seeing as it wasn't very popular. most people preferred different kinds of foods and snacks. ❝ most people prefer something sweeter, ❞ he only offers a smile as he takes the plate from the kitchen and places it in front of the customer.

 now  the  response  is  something  he  has  grown  very  accustomed  to.  in  fact,  he  would  be  more  concerned  if  jamil  had  said  something  positive.  ( gaze  would  wander  up  the  sky  as  he  would  wonder  if  the  world  is  ending    —  again. )     ❝      my, a  compliment  coming  from  you?  that  is  indeed  rare.      ❞     being  called  troublesome  is  far  from  a  compliment,  but  azul  would  gladly  take  it  if  is  from  jamil.  

 yet  for  as  much  as  he  relished  in  the faux  compliment  he  is  now  stunned  to  silence  when  he  hears  the  genuine  phrasing  next.     ❝      i    —      ❞     master  of  words  now  fumbling  over  his  own  words (  why  must  his  silver  tongue  fail  him  in  the  face  of  such  sincerity  )    ❝      that  was  rather  straightforward  ...  even  for  you.      ❞     color  lightly  painting  his  cheeks.     ❝      i    was  not  aware  you  held  such  high  opinion  of  me.      ❞     azul  merely  pushes  his  glasses  up  allowing  himself  to  fall  back  into  character.  though  pleasant  smile  returns  once  more,  he  will  not  forget  what  has  been  said.  

    ❝      judging  from  your  reaction  i  am  guessing  you  didn’t  suddenly  develop  admiration  for  me,  have  you  drank  a  truth  potion  by  accident  ?      ❞

           always  quick  to  defensiveness   :   YOU ?   annoying .   irritating .   grating .          &   EACH  TIME  THAT  HE  SPEAKS ,   none  of  the  words  successfully  leave  the  venomous  organ  that  is  his  tongue .   the  breathless  sensation  of  vocal  cords  stolen  comes  with  a  DULL  THROB  that  jamil  almost ,   almost  mistakes  for  another  migraine .

    a  second  try ,   thankfully ,   does  not  yield  similar  fruitless  results ,           ❝   really  troublesome .   ❞          tongue  clicks  against the  roof  of  his  mouth ,   brows  furrowed .   although  the  viper  did  not  know  why  he  had  hesitated  so  before ,   he’s  now  putting  an  all - too - typical  END  to  the  teasing .

          ❝   ––––but that’s only because you will do whatever it takes to achieve your goals .   ❞            …   what ?  ��         ❝   you know what you want   &   you’ll do or say what is necessary to get what you want .   it was frustrating for me to realize how you’ve never had anything for granted   &   that all your power is undeniably the fruit of your labor .   you’re troublesome ,   but at the same time   …   you’re admirable .   it’s what i like about you .   ❞

        THE  ENSUING  SILENCE  IS  DEAFENING .   red  blood  freezes  COLD ,   any  prior  amusement   /   irritation   /   ease  drops  DEAD .   nothing  save  a  softly  uttered  ‘oh.’  audibly  slips  past  dropped  jaw .   the  words  having  poured  out  from  his  lips  like  a  broken  dam  lived  in  both  familiarity   &  unfamiliarity ,   thoughts  he’s  thought  before  at  the  dead  of  night ,   banished   &   buried  away  before  the  morning  sun  should  rise .

     A hum resounds from deep within in his throat. thoughtful, a finger places to his chin as he decides on his answer. “maybe a few more times. just to keep you on your toes as always.” floyd giggles, but deep down he does feel a tinge of guilt for constantly disappearing and showing back up again like its nothing. not much else he can do but listen to the whims of the stars and heed their call forcefully- against his will- but there was nothing he could do. “nope. have you in the time i’ve been gone?”

              did azul even have a favorite freshman? if he did, it has to be some random from his dorm. he seemed like the kind to secretly love the people in his dorm, despite how he acted. 

            “ a year and a half? no fucking way. you mean i might be stuck here for a year and a half. this isn’t cool. it’s a joke, right? ”

              a sigh falls from him, he will take the free drink but he will be damned if he comes to help. unless he is like super fucking bored one day or something. he still had nightmares from the last time! there was a phantom pain in his head everyday…

            “ okay, okay. i’m gonna believe you this once. and again! that was a joke. ”

 lips  curve  upward  at  that  statement.  he  knows  it  to  be  true  for  he  is  no  stranger  to  using  people’s  weaknesses  against  them.  but  naturally  he  could  never  admit  it  out  loud    —    what  a  terrible  PR  for  himself  that  would  be.  

     ❝      those  are  your  words,  not  mine.      ❞     though  both  know  the  truth  behind  those  words.  however,  earlier  jest  is  forgotten  when  they  brush  the  topic  of  his  stay  here.     ❝      chances  are  you  may  be  here  even  longer,  there  are  people  who  have  been  here  for  years  now.       ❞     naturally  merfolk  had  done  some  digging  himself  when  people  would  visit  his  lounge.  they  all  said  the  same  thing  and  none  knew  how  to  get  out.  perhaps  it  was  then  when  he  had  decided  that  he  would  focus  his  energy  elsewhere.  making  his  life  as  comfortable  as  possible  here.
