[akito]

[ have one currently powerless wind spirit staring awkwardly at his communication device, worrying at his lip for a moment before offering a small, equally awkward smile. ]

Ah... Hi! I'm Akito. I'm, um... Usually invisible to most people because I'm a wind spirit. Back home I kind of... try to manage global warming, so it doesn't happen faster than everything can adapt... Umm...

I thought it would be kind of... cool? To, ah... Try and see if I'll still be visible in a video feed after the collar comes back off... Since you never know, ne?

[ he fiddles with a snowflake he's attached to a small chain he wears. the hand that's visible is splinted, and the plastic may or may not have a couple of random, bright stickers on it. he makes sure the next part is filtered away from Jack: ]

Question!

Um... How do you make a... crush go away? Like... Make your heart stop going dokidoki around them...



[ private to jack | text; ]

I found out that I don't really like doctors.
I think it was because of something from Before
Because there's no other reason for it.
Anyway
That is part of why I was being kind of
Obstinate ??
You were just trying to help.


I got a splint put on it and it's fine now.

[Occasionally invisible teenagers aren't really that much weirder than furry blue gentlemen in the grand scheme of things. She's learning to just go with it.]

I don't think you can make it go away, but it'll become a thing you learn to live with.

[Presenting the absolute last person you should ask about this sort of thing. But he can't pass up a chance to give imperious advice.]

I understand keeping busy is useful.
