HELLO NEW PEOPLES. Finding out there are at least 10 people following this story is pretty cool
So Leeeeet's Get Roooiiiiiiiggghhhhhttt Into the new- story.
By the way, I've looked up Genji's height and he is "Supposedly" 5'7" or 1.7m tall. Fuck that homes Genji is now 5'11" or 1.8m tall. Why? Cause that's how tall I am and I am roleplaying as Genji so hard right now.
-Start
Everything seemed to be going smoothly for a while. My storytelling was able to get her to open up and see me as less of a nuisance and at the very least a source of entertainment which was better than before. Alas all good things must come to an end and when we began discussing our roles in this arrangement things went downhill fast
"It's not slavery! It's a familiar contract!"
"To you, it may seem like a simple partnership and if you were to summon a creature like a dog or a cat it would be fine. I however am, a human, a sentient creature endowed with rights to preserve my dignity, and this 'contract' directly violates those rights."
"That's not a fair assessment! I am responsible for your safety food and shelter!" I guess at the time she couldn't grasp the concept of summoning something with just as much sentience as her.
"The bottom line hasn't changed this arrangement is completely one-sided branding me as less than human. Either we remedy this or I am leaving." I stood tall and was not willing to compromise on this.
"How do you plan on finding food or a place to live? If you're thinking about running away you should think that throu-"
"I don't need food, Louise."
"What are you talking about you said you were human everyone needs to eat and drink." She was so snobby it was otherworldly.
"Not me. Remember that power I was talking about in my story? That power was my new body and this new body gave me new strengths and not needing food was one of them. From what I can tell it seems you won't compromise so we have nothing to talk about. Goodbye." I put my hand at chest level extending my first two fingers and disappeared before her eyes in a purple mist. All that was left of my presence was a sparrow's feather.
"Hey! Where did you go! Familiar return this instant!" I had left the dorm and was clung to a wall just outside her window hearing her shout for me. ("Although I feel bad for your situation Louise I cannot help if you are not willing to show compassion.") My thoughts were cut short by my pain receptors nagging me. ("Pain? But I'm not being attacked.") I had looked down at the source to see the symbols that were etched into my hand were pulsating and glowing. ("Agh! What is this?") I turned on my pain inhibitors to increase my tolerance to it and the pain subsided. With that inconvenience gone, I had hoped after some time I would return and explain this lesson I was giving to her. In the meantime, I could meditate for now. I looked up at the sky to see it was sundown and the night was approaching. I climbed to the highest point of the castle that had a flat surface for me to sit and I thought about the day. ("Is this lesson too harsh? When I had exclaimed earlier that I would leave she was devastated and begged me to stay. Master tell me please how can I help this young girl.") I thought of my true master, Zenyatta and wondered what he would say but he wasn't here so I had to try my best alone. I sat closed my eyes and allowed my thoughts to wander.
The following morning I had awoken to the sun having risen over the horizon and thought about the day I had ahead of me. ("It's well past the early morning, I should return to Louise and see if the situation can be remedied.") I began descaling the building and had reached the window that was of Louise's room. I peered inside I saw her at the table in her room. Just sitting there seemingly doing nothing. I couldn't see her face as she was turned away from the window, but she gave off this feeling of utter dread. (Damn! Too harsh. I should remedy this now.") I opened the window and stepped into the room quietly and she hadn't noticed. Leaning against her bedframe I cleared my throat
"Ahem! I hope I didn't give you a huge fright." She quickly perched up and turned to see me and her face was a mixture of both relief and anger. ("You've gone too far Genji. This is a major setback.")
"Where the hell were you!" She screamed at me
I sighed feeling slightly guilty and spoke sincerely "I am sorry. I hadn't intended for things to play out this way. I wanted to offer some guidance in the fo-"
"Guidance? You offer guidance by abandoning me?"
"Of course that seems to be the case but I intended fully on returning I just wanted to use the opportunity for a lesson."
"A lesson is that right? Then what should I have learned from this?"
"I wanted to show you the fragile nature of this arrangement." Louise took a moment to respond but spoke sternly
"What are you talking about."
"There is nothing that forces me to obey anything you say I can leave any moment I wish but I returned."
"Great for you so then why not leave if I you think I'm sooo difficult."
"Because I think you need help." Louise just stared and for a moment there was complete silence in the room.
"Perhaps it's foolish for me to think this way but, Your personality the way others treat you I've noticed and for the most part it seems you are alone in your struggle. I want to help you so to speak but in order for me to do so we have to compromise. If my leaving has hurt you I apologize but try to understand I did it with the best intentions in mind."
Louise sighed and spoke softly, "What exactly do you want familiar?"
"Here is all that I want. I will stay and assist you with what I can be it academics or otherwise. I won't leave you and I will be honest in what I say and in return, the terms of this contract must change. For one we are equals and as such terms such as master and familiar must go. I am Genji and you are Louise. Furthermore, as equals we must respect one another, and that includes being honest with me. If we are to be working together for a common goal then I hope you will agree if not then I have no reason to stay.
Louise pondered my words for a moment but seemed to swallow her pride and nodded in agreement.
"Please try to understand I only want the best for both of us."
"What happens now, Genji?"
"I would say for now you should eat breakfast."
Louise sighed and wiped her face composing herself "Alright let's go."
("Well my lesson hadn't gone quite as well as I had expected but we have a common understanding now and we can move forward")
Outside of her room, we made our way to the dining hall where there were a large number of students. Many of whom began to stare at the two of us as we walked down the room Louise sat at a table and I stood behind her waiting for her to finish her meal.
"Hey, Genji. Is it true you don't eat food?"
"Sort of. I can still eat but I have no need for it and for the most part, I don't want to either."
"Why is that?"
"I have no sense of taste. Like I said before my new body has given me strengths but parts of my humanity have been lost. I cannot taste. My sense of touch is...different and overall most of me isn't me." Louise looked at me perplexed by my statement.
"I'd rather not go into detail at the moment. I can explain better later for now you should finish your meal."
Louise was at the very least satisfied by what I had said and I had noticed as if a huge weight had been lifted off of her shoulders and she seemed relaxed. ("I should remain transparent with her if I am to expect the same but this environment is not ideal for that, too many people... Later.") When she had finished her meal all of the students joined in unison in prayer, showing gratitude for various things. When they finished many students got up and made their way out of the hall and as louise was about to get up I spoke to her.
"You know, I'm proud of you Louise." She was surprised no less by what I had said and looked up at me
"W-What are you talking about?"
"In the span of two days, you have shown me that you have some level of faith in me as I have in you. And for that, you have my respect."
-End
What do you guys think? I tried hard to make this a heartfelt chapter. I heard once from somewhere that two people who argue or fight but can look past it be friends again are true friends.
So that's what I want to go for with Louise and Genji. A relationship like Genji has with Zenyatta. I think I want this Genji to be Louise's mentor who tries his best to help her but obviously can't physically help her.
Just to get this out of the way now I have little to no intention of having Genji have any love interests here. Genji loves Mercy and I have no clue how to write out a way for Genji to stop loving Mercy and love someone else, so it will very likely not happen at all.
PS As I'm sure many of you can guess the Guiche fight is coming in like the next chapter but beforehand I want to make a few things clear.
Now I'll be honest I've never written fight scenes before (Or stories for that matter) so I'm going to be using a lot of real-world terms to make things a bit easier for me to picture these fights
Please know the different punch and kick variations. As far as punches go it'll be: The jab, The Cross/Straight punch, The hook, and The overhand. And for the kicks it'll be: The Front kick (Includes Front push kick/Teep and Front snap kick) The Sidekick, and The Roundhouse kick. Some basic defense knowledge (really just slipping) may help but is not necessary
In any case, I'll be off for now and I hope you guys have a damn good day. BYE!
