Game 008 [Action] - Not Just As Planned

[neverplaysfair]

(( In which Kim lacks appropriate icons s-sob ))

[ In the early morning hours, standing roughly between buildings 36, 38, and 39, is a somewhat unfamiliar figure. Maybe you recognize those rainbow wings. Maybe that hair style and color looks awfully familiar. Maybe you can't see at all, what with it being really freaking early and still dark out.

But one thing's pretty clear: the figure standing there isn't a teen. He's an adult.

He raises his hands and closes his eyes. After a moment, he starts mumbling to himself. He didn't see anyone close enough around to hear him, but if you happen to, you might notice the translation keeps slipping. ]

... stablishing li... wer. Release con... cessitates spa... ting. Beginning scan.

CRACK!

[ A noise, loud enough to give you the feeling of being hit in the chest if you're reasonably close, echoes loudly around the village. Feel free to be woken up, investigate, whatever. If you manage to locate its source, you'll find an adult Joshua kneeling on the ground, clutching his head in pain. ]

Shit.

Maybe I should sleep in my clothes, just to be safe. [ He's not really serious, but yeah, eying Joshua with a sort of halfhearted wariness now. ] What happened to 'don't touch anything'?

[neverplaysfair]

Maybe it slipped my mind. [ He's grinning now... ]

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

[ Definitely wary now. ] Uh huh.

[neverplaysfair]

[ Don't mind Josh eyeing the walls, he's perfectly innocent here~ ]

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

Hey! I have plans for those walls. Y'know what, maybe you're going on the couch after all.

*SURPRAIZ ADULT!ICONS*

[neverplaysfair]

Who said I was going to do anything?

[ ...well, if Josh does try to tag something, he can always paint over it. Back to getting the bed assembled. ] Josh, if you mess with my stuff, I'm returning the favor. What color could I paint your gun? Bright yellow? Neon green?

[neverplaysfair]

You wouldn't dare.

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

Try me. What's the worst that happens? You break out the innocent act and tell the townsfolk I'm a child molester?

[neverplaysfair]

You know I'm fully capable of much worse.

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

Oh? Gonna erase me for painting your gun, Josh?

[neverplaysfair]

That would be too merciful.

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

Right, silly me. Torture? [ He's so not-intimidated by you, Joshua -- or just has a really good poker face. Possibly both. ]

[neverplaysfair]

I wonder.

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't go down easy. That'd make for one interesting fight, huh? You and me.

[neverplaysfair]

Maybe since we've lost some of our power, we wouldn't tear apart space if we fought here? [ He is not entirely joking... ]

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

Aw, but space-tearing fights are the best kind. Anyway, I haven't gotten in a serious fight for decades. Not really lookin' to break my streak.

[neverplaysfair]

Good thing I don't plan on fighting you, then.

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

And I don't plan on gettin' you up against a wall -- or in my shower, or whatever the rest of it was. So we're all good.

[neverplaysfair]

Yes. All well and good. [ Shaking the can of spraypaint~ ]

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

[ Bit hastily, here: ] 'Course, I'm still gonna paint your gun if you mess with my stuff. [ Making a swipe for that spraypaint, kthx ]

[neverplaysfair]

[ And yoinked. Luckily you've got a nice supply of cans here, so Josh will just pick up white and keep shaking. ]

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

[ You know what? There is no way he will win like this. Giving up, just for the moment, with a sigh. ] I'm gonna grab some blankets. You're gonna stay here and put my spraypaint down.

[neverplaysfair]

[ No he's not. He's gonna keep shaking the can, just eyeing the walls, perfectly innocent. ]

[nattocat.livejournal.com]

If those walls look any different when I come back, you're on the couch. [ And he heads out into the hall, resigned to whatever happens. Feel free to paint something just to piss him off. Or be a good little Joshua and listen to your elders. ]
