5TH FLIGHT ➥ VIDEO/AUDIO.

[crowing]

—kki, think fast!

( and air goes whistling through the speakers as the device, snapped on, slams against the side of ikki’s head. a furious squawk eruptsf rom the mess of black locks that ikki actually dares to call ‘hair’ as kuu flies out, half-hysterical from the impact. the little crow flies out just as the device lands into ikki’s hands, circling the air in a semi-threatening manner. )

Ow! Geez! You throw like a girl!

( he yells back, rubbing the wounded part of his skull before throwing his stupid pet rock from the top of his disheveled bed towards kazu’s equally stupid face at full force. his annoyance is starting to reach a boiling point, they’ve already been fighting for the past ten minutes over this. )

Yeah, yeah. Still got you. This isn't your closet, move your stuff!

What’s yours is mine, dude! Your closet is just one of the many sacrifices needed to please this great shining example of mankind in front of you! ( brief pause. ) And Akito keeps wearing my stuff. You know, like sniffing it? It’s kind of weird.

He's a shark, he'll still smell it if you stash ‘em here! ( ... and, seriously, he draws the line at living in the same apartment with Ikki. opening a window. ) Maybe if you throw 'em far enough...

Hey, hey, hey! Don’t you touch my clothes, dude! ( he’s advancing on him immediately, wheeling himself over towards kazu to you know, shut the window down on his insolent fingers. only what he actually does is something more along the lines of just outright shoving kazu towards the floor. ) Nothing of mine is going out that window!!

( Ikki shoves, and Kazu’s first instinct is to shove back. ) Oi, should’ve thought of that before you started dumping it in my room.

( his feet kick down against the floor as soon as kazu’s hands are on him in an attempt to keep his chair from wheeling backwards. he pushes right back against him, fingers tangling in the fabric of kazu’s shirt as he rises, very shakily to his feet. ) Where’s your concern for my stuff!! My precious stuff!! This stuff is all I got here!

It’s the same shit you’ve always— ( except he goes on automatic as it registers: fingers closing around Ikki's wrist, because what is even going on. ) Ikki, what the fuck.

Damn—! ( he swerves around on the heel of his cast, knocking over the container of akito’s glitter and tumbles out of the window in one smooth and completely horrifying movement. who the hell even owns glitter. his fingers let go out of kazu’s shirt as he falls through the threshold and down in a cloud of rainbow glitter. )

Fucking glitter—! ( he yells out before he disappears into thin air, arm outstretched towards kazu and the window. )

[[ooc: kazu is orange, and ikki is blue, who is briefly leaving for a much-needed canon-update! he’ll be back in a day or few. ]]

[ Ikki-- Ikki didn't really--- right? ]

[sixwinged]

[ There's the immediate panic, as Akito dropped whatever it was he had been doing, leaving it behind without a second thought. ]

[sixwinged]

[ He ran his way back, into Kazu's room. Ran his way over to the window, shoved his palms down against the frame. ]

[ --and ignored Kazu entirely, as he searched for any sign of Ikki at all. ]

Ikki?

..

Ikki!


IKKI!

I wasn't as spammy than I thought I'd be /done

[sixwinged]

[ Then, he turned himself back around, hands going straight for Kazu. He grabbed onto his shirt, tugging and pulling. ]

Kazu! Go get Ikki, please! [ A rough tug, towards the window. ]

He's okay! He has to be--

[ The fact Ikki supposedly disappeared? Completely ignored. ]

1/4

[errandry]

[ the tugging earns only a blank look—for all of an instant before he's scrambling onto the ledge. because Akito's only got one eye at a time and hell, everybody knows what that does to vision— ]

augh, this goddamn comment spam. 8|

[errandry]

[ and it occurs to him that he isn't wearing his fucking A-Ts. outside, meanwhile, the glitter's dissipating in the light. ]

[errandry]

[ his knuckles tighten on the frame. he leans out as far as he can on the sill, as if this is something vision could fix. ]

He—was just here—

[errandry]

What the fuck was that?

[sixwinged]

[ No, this wasn't the time for talking about it. ]

[ Another shove, another attempt at getting Kazu to run off and find Ikki, before Akito was taking matters into his own hands. ]

[ Which involved himself, leaning over the window sill as far as possible to look down, searching. ] Ikki!

[errandry]

[ He catches at Akito's collar to keep him from tipping—because they've done this once today—

They've— ]

It's another—shit, it's a fucking curse, it has to be. [ dragging at Akito. ] Listen!

[sixwinged]

[ A hand moved back, swatting at Kazu's own to get him to let go. ]

Let go! I have to-- go find Ikki! [ To make sure he was okay, in one piece, not dead, still here-- something. ]

[ Even with all of that dragging, Akito was doing his damned best to climb outside of that window, trecks or no trecks. There were enough spots to hold onto, if only he could-- ]

[errandry]

[ Kazu's bigger, his reach longer, and it probably doesn't help that he's got a hand on Akito's arm, now, shaking him, trying to shake some sense into the world's order again. ]

He's not out there! I saw him f—Listen! Did you see anything on the network today?

[sixwinged]

Nothing about people disappearing!

[ He's getting desperate now. Well, more than he had been before. His arm tried to shove it's way out of Kazu's hold, pushing his entire weight into it, even. ]

He has to be out there! Ikki can't be gone! He can't!

[impledge]

[ what the — ]

[impledge]

[ — hell???? ]

Ikki?

[impledge]

[ SCREAM ]

W-what just happened!? Ikki!

[errandry]

Sumeragi? Fuck—Look, we'll explain later, okay?

[impledge]

But Ikki just—he just disappeared! Where did he go!?

[errandry]

He's—shit. We'll find him, all right?

[impledge]

Find him? But... how? [ she shakes her head and barrels on quickly, determined ] I'll help!

1/2

[errandry]

I don't know!

[errandry]

[ no, no, he can't snap. exhale. ]

It's gotta be some trick—some kind of magic— ... fuck, where're we even supposed to start?

[shall_yield_us]

...there went my hero. They do so tend to perish before the denouement these days.

[errandry]

... the fuck—he's not dead!

[shall_yield_us]

...when was it? That time when you last lied to yourself oh-so-very-well and believed it entirely, hmmm? When?
