[ The feed appears to have been left on, a strange orange hue...which the broken pavement taking up the latter half of the screen. There is the sound of footsteps approaching, but beyond that, it's quiet. For now. ]

[ the footsteps sound rather hurried and given the late hour, it's no surprise. they hesitate for only a second when the owner of said footsteps notices the bright orange glasses on the ground. with a sudden jerk to the feed, the girl picks them up, not realizing its recording.

turning them over, the feed picks up on yukari's curious expression before she grasps them fully and continues on her way. ]

Huh, weird... I could've sworn a saw a guy with glasses similar to this before.

[ And, as if on cue, a huge fucking monster comes smashing out of the side of a building. It ran on eight legs, large tail dragging behind it and getting whipped about as it turned a sharp corner to dodge...

...a blue-haired man in just pants and a bright red cape, brandishing an questionably sized sword in an erratic manner behind it. ]

Oi, OI, OI, OI, OI!! Just where do you think you're goin'!?

[ immediately, yukari comes to a halt, a look of complete surprise on her face. one hand is on her evoker—a thought she doesn't go through with because she's busy trying to process the fact that this guy just seems to be ASKING FOR TROUBLE?? ]

[ The creature makes a screeching noise and lashes out with its long tongue, which the man barely dodges by a hair. Is he lucky or just stupid? Or both? Probably both. ]

That was a pretty good move for a hunk'a flesh like you! But you're forgettin' who your opponent is! Parents use my name to frighten their kids in line! KICKING REASON TO THE CURB! HE GRASPS THE BURNING SUN IN HIS HAND AND WITHSTANDS THE UNBEARABLE HEAT!!!! THE DEMON LEADER OF THE GREAT GURREN BRIGADE!!!!!! THE GREAT KAMINA-SAMA! They're talkin' about ME!

[ ...Definitely both. ]

[ wow this guy is.


stupid.

immediately yukari drops her bag and the glasses (and they conveniently drop in such a fashion as to catch the rest of the scene!) and runs to the guy's side, shrugging her bow off her shoulder. ]

D'you really think yelling at it's going to—woah!

[ jumping back a few feet saves yukari the humiliation of being stabbed with a razor sharp tongue, and she quickly fires off an arrow to piece the creature's chest. ]

Just shut up!

Eh?

[ Where did that come from? Turning in his own confusion is seemingly the only reason Kamina avoided another tongue lashing--literally. ]

[ there's another arrow shot, and this time it hits the creature square in the neck. only then does yukari give herself a second to yell at kamina, an obviously haughty tone to her words. ]

Don't just stand there gawking! Geeze, you've got a sword, don't you? Use it!

[ Except gawking seemed so appropriate! Despite the fact that he had a wounded, dangerous monster that was probably spouting thousands of obscenities in their direction, Kamina has the gall to prop his sword on the ground and lean forward on it. ]

Heeeey there, cutie. Need help with that thing? [ And he doesn't bother to hide the fact that he's totally giving her the once-over. ] Man, the girls up here just keep gettin' better n' better!

[ there's sudden silence that surrounds the chaos of the scene as yukari slowly... turns her head to look at kamina sideways. though the glasses are a few feet away, they can totally pick up the confused and rather offended look on her face.

man she should've just let this guy get eaten. ]

… [ she scoffs loudly, fitting another arrow to her bowstring. hell, she'd outright laugh of their lives weren't in danger. ] Yeah right. In your dreams.

[ Battle, what battle? Even the Eightlegs is starting to look offended. Nope, Kamina just takes a few steps closer to get a better look. And whistles. ]

That's an insane figure you're rockin' there, woman! Chicks from the surface are in a class of their own!

[ and then three things happen in sequence:

1. yukari finally snaps.
2. the eightlegs can't look offended any longer because that's an arrow right to his face.
and 3. having dispatched the monster for now, yukari stomps kamina on the foot. totally unfair considering she's wearing stylish pumps and kamina's wearing flip-flop sandals.

As if to save some small part of perceived dignity that Kamina might have, the feed cuts out. ]


(( OOC; Font is Yukari and Kamina, respectively. Tags will come at least an hour or so after the event so bother characters will be in a proper place to respond. Or at least after Kamina's foot stops bleeding. ))

Comments

action.

[thelovers]

...

Well, you deserved it.

action.

[fightingspirit]

[ And Kamina, being the man that he is, is trying not to show fear to the enemy, or at least pain. FUCK. HIS FOOT. ]

What the hell was that for?!

[video]

[got_it_memorized]

[Axel watches all of this with an expression that can only be described as 'BUH'. Then he gives a low, appraising whistle.]

Might want some peroxide or something for that foot, there, Shades; I hear girls keep poison in the heels of shoes like that.

[Well, not really, but he wouldn't have put it past Larxene, anyway...]

video!

[thelovers]

[ it takes yukari a second to realize what's going on, but being a bright girl, she's able to put two and two together. turns out those shades were a device! just like her phone is. w e i r d. ]

What? No I don't.

[ though it could get an infection... ]

And even if I did, peroxide wouldn't work on poison. You'd need an antidote for it.

[video]

[fightingspirit]

[ ...ASSUMING YUKARI HAS SORT OF TAUGHT HIM HOW THIS WORKS. ]

Wait, what?

[ Great, now his foot is going to fall off. ]

[Video]

[needtobecleaned]

I continue to fail to understand why humans find that to be acceptable behavior in the midst of combat.

[Coming from the blue haired haired woman who is casually talking on her NV whilst walking through the streets in the middle of the night.]

video!

[thelovers]

You and me both.

[ it's flattering on some level, but seriously, kamina? seriously?? ]

[Video]

[fightingspirit]

[ He would be indignant, but... ]

Hey, it looks like they're crawlin' out of all the nooks and crannies!

VIDEO

[plushrumpus]

Guy with glasses, huh?

[Yep, he's pretty much just linefacing at the camera, arms crossed, standing somewhere in what looks to be a sparsely-furnished living room. Y'know, save brightly colored chalk drawings all over the walls and a few equally vibrant plushes here and there. But don't mind those.]

[chinhands]

[thelovers]

[ ... oh ]

Uh, yeah.

[ pulling out kamina's from her bag, she looks them over; then looks at bro; then back at kamina's glasses. ]

Where'd you guys get these? I've never seen them on sale before.

[ junpei might have, though. ]

VIDEO

[fightingspirit]

[ Oh--wait, those look familiar.

Kamina grins, leaning into the feed. ]

Nice shades!

Video

[runebladeknight]

...

[Yeah, give her a minute. This is just . . . Wut? Yeah, that's a good word for it. And bad tactics aside . . .]

Why does anyone even talk like that?

video.

[thelovers]

I know, right? I can hear him just fine.

Video

[fightingspirit]

Talk like what?

[ Right over his head. ]

[whitefeathered]

. . . How do you hold the sun in your hand, anyway?

[thelovers]

Ugh, it's best to not ask.

[fightingspirit]

Only those with the spirit of a TRUE MAN can withstand its heat!

audio;

[reginagloriae]

[ What the hell happened?

Why is that man's hair blue?

So many questions. Youko just stares in shock. So (unsure). ]

Um... are you ok?

[ who she's asking, no clue yet. she is trying to be polite. ]

[thelovers]

Yeah, I'm okay! Thanks.

[ because who cares about kamina, right?? ]

video;

[fightingspirit]

Much better than that beast, ahaha!

voice;

[whippings]

[She hasn't responded to anyone on the network in several days, but something about the sheer volume of this broadcast spurs her to respond.]

It's quite unnecessary to be so loud!

[thelovers]

[ a sigh ]

Save your breath. I don't think this guy's got any volume control.

video;

[crownlessking]

Woah. Hey, I dig those shades. Where do you get a pair like those?

[thelovers]

... Right, because that's the important part.

[video]

[murasamia]

[ wow half that bickering went right over her head because she's too busy being enchanted by the monster and the fight. That was impressive. Really impressive.

she wants to cut them all up right now. ]

Woah, woah!! That was really cool, amigos! That whole show for free, too!! The NV is the best!

[thelovers]

[ oh nooooo this is bad! after all that effort to calm kamina down... ]

Hey! Don't encourage him!

LATE

[acemedium]

[WHO... DOES SHE FANGIRL....]

Wow, you guys! That was great!

[fightingspirit]

[ KAMINA, OBVIOUSLY. ]

Yes, my sidekick wasn't bad, either!
