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 got it.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

That's great, Crow-kun! [ believe it or not, she actually looks happier about this than the thieving thing ]

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

*in fact he is honestly surprised by that* Y-Yeah, it is!

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

That means your dream came true, right? Seriously, that's... [ so happy for him you don't even know :( ]

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's incredible.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

So a lot really has changed... I wonder if I even know you anymore. [ only half-kidding ]

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

... Hey, it's not like I up and became Mister Up and Coming Nice Guy of the Year or anything.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ that gets a grin ] You were always a nice guy, whether you admit it or not.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

... *opens his mouth to argue that, then stops* Okay, maybe that wasn't a good example.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

You might wanna try one where you actually stand a chance of winning.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

Hey, I could have totally-- *shakes his head* Look, the point is I'm not that different.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

The last time I saw you, you were a reckless thief who'd know better than to come up with a lie like "I got hit by a dragon" in regards to his arm.

For that matter, that kind of bandaging is typically used for a fracture. Shoulder, right? [ thank you random neighbor for having the same thing ]

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

It was a big dragon?

*WHY IS SHE FIGURING ME OUT NOOOO* Yeah, that's right.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Your arm's not in a cast, so that's easy enough to figure out. [ ALL THAT TIME WITH HEIJI HAS HAD AN INFLUENCE ]

So then the next thing to figure out is why you're lying. And maybe how it really happened.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well. There weren't always casts and shit like this back in Satellite, y'know. *just... grumbling now*

Maybe because I feel like it.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ you are one step away from puppy-dog eyes ]

You don't trust me?

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

Wh-- *god why* That has nothing to do with this!

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

There'd be no other reason to lie!

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

There's tons of reasons!

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

You're embarrassed, the truth is too horrible, you blew something up--

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

I... blew up the dragon?

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ YOU DESERVE THIS FACE ]

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

H-Hey, stop that!

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Why do I even bother...?

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

It's nothing you need to worry about.
