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.))

That you've got the memory of a goldfish.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

Uh huh.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

... [ nudging him in the direction of the blimp ] And this is why I can't leave you alone.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

... Eh?

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

How long are you supposed to keep that sling on?

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

About a month?

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

After all this time trying to get me to take a break... [ sighing ] We're catching up once you're all healed, got it?

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

Huh?

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

... What?

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

What about Zack?

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

What about him? I don't think he's gonna mind.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

... *confused* Wait, what're you saying?

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

I'm saying I won't practice with anyone else.

1/2

*and for a very very brief moment, she gets to see what is probably the most grateful look she's ever seen and possibly ever will see on him*

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

*... and then he looks away and is trying to be tough about it* Thanks, but it-- Not like it matters to me either way though, I mean, it's your practice.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

I can do the strength training and stretches on my own. [ trying very hard not to smile ] It just means I won't go easy on you when you can use that arm again.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

Hey, no complaints here! I'll need to get back in shape as soon as I can!

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

I'm counting on you then, Crow-kun.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

You'd better.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

But you'd better count on me in return.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

Don't I always?

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ walking on ahead of him ] Maybe!

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

-- Just maybe? *following*

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

You'd know better than I would, Crow-kun.

[stolethegame.livejournal.com]

I'm asking if you know if I know though.
