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. ]]

[errandry]

That's not it.

[sixwinged]

Then, what?

[errandry]

[ just stares at him.

then he laughs, a cracked and sharp little sound. ]

You really think they're gonna tell us anything for free?

[sixwinged]

No, which is why I'm coming.

[errandry]

I'm not splitting it with you, Akito.

[sixwinged]

You're right, you're not.

Because Kazu isn't giving up anything.

[errandry]

Cut it out, all right? If it's down to a fight anytime soon, you're the one we're gonna need. I can at least do this much.

[sixwinged]

You'll need Agito, not Akito.

I won't give up anything that would hurt Agito.

[errandry]

Tch. Yeah. Now tell me how you are doesn't affect him.

[sixwinged]

Agito will be fine.

[errandry]

I can handle it.

[sixwinged]

Ikki would be angry if he knew you did that for him.

[errandry]

Bastard can tell it to my face, then.

[sixwinged]

He won't have to, because I won't let you.

[errandry]

[ cold, colder — ]

You're not gonna stop me.

[sixwinged]

Agito won't let you, either.

[errandry]

Tch. Like you don't want the answer just as bad as me.

[ he's biting off every syllable, though: angry beyond words. ]

You wanna keep arguing about it? Or are you gonna let me go ahead?

[sixwinged]

You're the one holding onto me, Kazu.

If you let go and it becomes a race, I'll let Agito out.

[errandry]

'Cause you're the one who wants to run off!

[ bitter bitter bitter. ]

Damn it, like this even matters... It's not like he's gotta know anyway.

[sixwinged]

I'll know, it's enough.

[errandry]

So? What do you care? The important thing's to find out what happened to him, right?

[sixwinged]

But Kazu's important, too!

[errandry]

Not as much as the boss. Come on, Akito.

[sixwinged]

Even if it is Ikki, Kazu's still very important. I won't let you trade, especially if it's just for information. What if they ask for something important? Even if I lose things, Agito's still here for me. Agito will protect me and remind me of things I need to know. Losing my memories or whatever else they might ask for from me is fine.

I'm much more concerned about Kazu's memories than mine, even if I dislike losing them.

.. maybe we should wait until tomorrow. Maybe Ikki will come back before then, and we won't need to trade at all. I promised him to make sure not to do it unless it was absolutely necessary, so--

A day isn't that long. Even if Ikki is in a tough situation, he's Ikki, right?

[ The waiting would kill him, Akito was sure. But-- it was worth it, if it'd prevent Kazu from trading. ]

If he's not back by midnight tomorrow, we'll rush down to the deities office.

[ Or if need be, he would rush there after Kazu let him go. ]

Is that okay?
