004 ★ video + action for shiro/yuzu

[scourgingstars]

[Somewhere in the middle layer of the Lost Temple, Ardyn decided casual tomb robbery deserved video documentation.]

How very nostalgic--I haven't explored ruins for the sake of exploration itself in some two thousand years, at least. Why, I could almost learn to enjoy such an excursion. [With his free hand, he was tossing a smooth red gemstone to himself casually.]

I wonder how terribly cursed we might be to liberate an artifact or two. It certainly seems like a poor decision to make. [Said with a less than charitable smile that might indicate he could not have cared less. The gem fell into his hand again and laid there, Ardyn turning it over a few times with faint interest.]

...Oh, well. I'm keeping it regardless, it's even my favorite color.

[Okay Doppio turned on his video in hopes of Investigating, but then he gets stuck on -]

TWO THOUSAND YEARS?!

[scourgingstars]

Hm...give or take a bit, something like that.

[He's bored and wants attention, so this is exactly what he was after.]

I know what you must be thinking--yes, I look astounding for my age.

[epitaffio]

Uh...

[He does NOT have time to process that, because he's too busy processing the terrible, dreadful question forming in his mind -]

If... If it's okay to ask... What's your name?

[If Leonardo da Vinci is here, then could it be that... Jesus Christ himself...?!]

[scourgingstars]

[While literally accurate, Doppio was only technically correct by way of JRPG archetypes.]

Ardyn, if you please. Ardyn Lucis Caelum.

[epitaffio]

[Oh. Well. That's a small relief, even though it doesn't change the fact that this guy is two thousand years old.]

R-Right. Nice to meet you, Mr. Ardyn. So... What is that thing you found? Some kind of jewel?

[scourgingstars]

Of some sort, it would seem. It may even be just a little bit alive, it's difficult to say.

[epitaffio]

A... Alive? What do you mean?!
