tenth feather: the updated bullet

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

[So after Fourth Wall Weekend, Crow up and vanished. Disappeared. Poofed, for lack of a better term. But now he's back! Sporting a fancy red shirt he's wearing over his regular undershirt. Oh yes, and his right arm is bandaged and sling'd. At the moment he is wandering around, looking sort of lost, and muttering things like "Are they still here?" and "Will Aki be okay?" to himself. Eventually, he just stops in what is a familiar spot for him!]

This can't be real. I mean, it just-- Shit man. It really is, isn't it? No fooling? I'm not gonna wake up tomorrow back home, am I? ... How do I know this ain't a dream?

[He looks both ways, unsure at first, then bites his lip and promptly slaps himself on the cast covering his shoulder.]

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!

F-Fuck why did I do that. Fuckfuckfuck that was stupid. ... But I'll take that as a no.

My luck's really all over the damn place lately, isn't it?

((Crow has been canon updated! As far as he knows, it's been sixth months since he's been on the island, and for those of you who can sense spiritual energy and such (namely the Soul Eater cast he, uh, lives with) there has been a pretty noticable change in him.))

You didn't.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

Maybe you're just remembering wrong.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Doubt it. Anyway, with your arm like that... guess I'm short a partner.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

*it's like I didn't even come back* ... Guess you are, huh?

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ tapping her chin and humming thoughtfully ] I can ask Zack-san for the time being, since I really doubt Kaito-kun's gonna volunteer...

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

*I just got here and yet I already want to leave boy howdy* Well, I'll leave you to that--!

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Hold it.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

Hold what?

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

You don't see me in a long time - according to you - and you're already all set to head off?

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

You sound busy? Gotta go grab Zack or whoever and get down to business! Go go go!

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

... Looks like the idiot is still an idiot.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

... What was that?

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ okay, now she's just being a brat ]

The. Idiot. Is. Still. An. Idiot.

*wait for iiiiit-- wait, he's... not taking the bait(?)* ... You have fun with that.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ ... oh my god he really must not be feeling well ] Okay, what's wrong?

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

Who says anything's wrong?

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ leaning closer to study his face ] My instincts.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

*raising an eyebrow* Weren't you going somewhere?

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Are you kidding me? Knowing you, I'll leave and you'll go break your other arm or disappear again. Do you even know just how much I-- [ stopping herself and coughing into her hand ]

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

*will ignore that last part since she didn't finish-- reaching over to pat her on the back with his good arm though* ... Doubt that's possible.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ quite possibly looking somewhat upset now ] I look away from you for a little while, and now look at you! It's not like I can just follow you to your world to keep you out of trouble, y'know, and what if you'd been hurt a lot worse? How-- how'm I supposed to--

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

Hey-- Calm down, damn it! *and that hand is going to her shoulder* You're not supposed to do anything!

... Besides. To a D-Wheeler, this is as bad as it needs to be for any "worse" that could happen to be a moot point anyway.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ ... THAT ISN'T HELPING-- she's just looking at him ]

... What are you saying, Crow-kun?

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

*shrugs* Might as well have broken a leg or two while I was at it is all. Same thing in the end. But really, Kazuha, listen to me. I'm. Fine.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

How is that the same thing? Is not being able to drive for a little while that crippling for you? [ yeah, ignoring that last bit ]
