33 - Armed To The Teeth Against Love

[worldofourown]

What the hell is this?!!

[ The impressive shout emerges, not from a man, but a teddy-bear. Lying on the pavement, kicking his tiny arms and legs feebly. Hi, Karl. ]

Of all the pathetic, worthless, idiotic -- !

[ A stream of profanities. Such a mouth Mr. Teddy has. Not PG-rated at all. ]

[OOC: Karl is a teddy-bear. Lol. Have at him! ]

And it wasn't your place to deny me what I wanted, either. But you did.

And who cares. Maybe you don't deserve it. I'm still doing it because you pissed me off. And I have no idea what you did to Saya, or what you planned to do, but she was really upset by you.

[Oooo! A shop, with high shelves in a back area that seems pretty secluded. He's going in.]

[worldofourown]

[ GRRRR. He starts thumping Setsuna with his tiny fists. Does that hurt, or just tickle? ]

You'll pay for this once I'm back to normal.

[beyourarmy]

[Tickle, tickle, tickle~!] Are you trying to pet me?

Oh? And how do you plan to do that, Karl? I regenerate, remember? You can't even kill me. I won't even be City-dead. I'll just NOT die. [Granted, none of that works TODAY, but he's not telling Karl that.]

[worldofourown]

[ The little face squinches up. On Karl's catlike features, the look is ominous. On the teddy, it just seems constipated. ]

Your girlfriend might not be so lucky.

Karl might end up getting torn apart by Setsuna, now

[beyourarmy]

Don't you dare touch her!

[Guess whose arms are being tugged a little tightly now?]

You leave her out of this, or I'll find Saya and take back everything I said. I'll tell her to never talk to you again!

We already discussed this. You have a problem with me, take it up with me. You can't do that, I will fuck EVERYTHING up for you.

Get in line, sayeth Karl 8V

[worldofourown]

[ Hnnnghhhh. Lethimgothisinstant. ]

You started it when you got between me and Saya. [ The stubby legs kick mightily. ] Turnabout's fair play.

He did - it's his turn now

[beyourarmy]

Someone had to. She didn't like the way you spoke to her, Karl.

[Might be tugging a little harder now. Setsuna's really not aware of what he's doing.]

It's not turnabout. Because I very likely saved her. You're not gonna save anyone. You're going to hurt them. There's a HUGE difference there.

[worldofourown]

[ The kicking gains vigor. ]

Who died and proclaimed you crusader of justice?

[beyourarmy]

This isn't about justice! [He's truthful, even to himself.]

This started off as petty self-righteous revenge, and now I need to make sure you leave Sara out of things!

[worldofourown]

What would you know about revenge? [ A sniff of hauteur. ] I told you before. PUT ME DOWN.

[beyourarmy]

No, not until you say you'll leave Sara out of things.

You wanna take it up with me, then we should. When you're normal again.

[worldofourown]

I'm not bargaining with you.

[ KICK KICK. ]

1/2

[beyourarmy]

Then there's only one thing I can do.

[beyourarmy]

[And then he rubs his face against Karl, hugging him tightly.]

You're so adorable~! I love you, so much, Karl!

[worldofourown]

[ He makes an incredibly disgruntled noise. ]

Stop it.

Stop it this instant.

[ THRASHKICKTHRASH. ]

[beyourarmy]

[Setsuna pulls his face back, but only to lightly tickle at Karl's fluffy tummy. He continues to speak in a sing-song voice, smile bright.]

Only if you promise to leave Sara alone, and only then, Karl.

[worldofourown]

[ This awful. Repulsive. He won't forget the indignity -- or forgive Setsuna -- for as long as he lives. ]

Hand Saya over and perhaps I will.

[beyourarmy]

[He pulls back once again, expression becoming sharp.]

No. Listen right now you spoiled brat! She is not a thing, or an item, to be handed over to you. Whether she goes to you or not is a decision she has every right to make, when she's capable. It's not my place. [All the while he's poking Karl's tummy when he punctuates his sentences.]

Until then, you have no business trying to force her, or anyone else, into anything. That is not an option, or something to be debated. She is her own person, and you'll fucking treat her like it.

Or I'll punish you. [That finger poke goes to Karl's nose.]

[worldofourown]

[ The tirade just intensifies his wrath. HOW DARE THIS BOY PRESUME TO LECTURE HIM?!! ]

Punish me? [ Hah. ] I'd like to see you try.

[beyourarmy]

Fine.

[Setsuna grabs a chair, pulls it to the shelves. Then he puts Karl on the highest one, all the way in the back. And LEAVES him.]

Promise you're going to stay away from Sara and I'll get you down and leave you alone and call all this done. And don't bother trying to bargain with me. You either leave Sara alone or not. It's that simple.

[worldofourown]

You BASTARD.

[ The wildest thrashing. GET HIM DOWN GET HIM DOWN!!! ]

Come back here!

[beyourarmy]

No, Karl. Promise first, then I'll take you down.

Deal with me, and me alone. I'm the one pissing you off. [He's at least staying in the store, off the chair. The chair remains by the shelves, though.]

[worldofourown]

I refuse to promise anything.

[ AND THE MOST STUBBORN TEDDYBEAR AWARD GOES TO... ]

[beyourarmy]

Then I'm not taking you down, and I'm not leaving you alone.

Hell, you don't even have to promise. Just say you will. We'll deal with it later.

But if you can't even be gracious enough to say that? I'm leaving you there.

[worldofourown]

[ With effort, he rolls so his back is to Setsuna. Hmph. ]

[ You have your answer. ]
