6TH FLIGHT ➥ VIDEO/AUDIO.

[crowing]

( the video feed clicks on abruptly to broadcast a clear view of the starry night sky. it's silent for a moment save for a noise that gets translated at static fuzz, gradually getting louder and louder until it comes out clearly. it's the sound of ragged panting, vaguely wet sounding. )

Fuck. C'mere, you stupid thing.

Light's on. You're broadcasting, aren't you? Then, broadcast this. ( the screen tilts to focus on ikki's middle finger, half covered by his fingerless gloves. ) I thought this place was a really bizarre dream for the longest time—

Haagh—

( the screen adjusts again as ikki moves it to show where he's sitting on a dune of sand, a monstrous carcass strewn across the ground behind him. not only that, but ikki himself has taken a good chunk of damage, which was only partly caused by the monster he just slew. )

I've come back for you, City! Weep no longer, the Great Ikki-sama has made his triumphant return! Geez. Is there even any city left? What the hell happened to this shitty place? I couldn't have been gone that long!!

I taught myself to fire accurately the day I was given the weapon.

[crowing]

When were you given the weapon?

When grew old enough to be a man in the eyes of society, thusly earning the right to fight like a a man? Take on the trials of adulthood? The crossbow-y kind?

I received it over two years ago when Umi thought I needed a weapon to defend myself. Now, I carry it everywhere.

It is not a gun but it is suitable for killing.
