[ Partially-Open ] And Iiiiiiiiiiii will aaaaaalwaaaays..... wait he didn't sign up for this!

[thevanguard]

Who: Misaki Yata and Eric Surt, and whoever else needs to be called in to keep the peace. >.>
When: July 12
Where: Outside Inanna's Temple
What: Yata's been assigned to be Eric's bodyguard. Eric didn't get a say in the matter.


[ Despite a conversation that didn't get him any of the answers he was looking for a while earlier, Yata's stubborn enough to not let that deter him. Finding Eric's name on the BBS isn't that hard and from there connecting him to his god isn't difficult either.

Which is how he ends up sitting outside Inanna's Temple, perched on his skateboard with his legs sprawled out in front of him and playing with the handheld video game he'd won a few days before. Minding his own business. Earning his room and board. As ridiculous as this entire assignment was, he was gonna hold up his end of the deal, no matter what. ]

[redstray]

[ Eric was at the front gate because screw this he's not dealing with a stalker that says he's a bodyguard.

He glares at the guy from across the gate, hands in his pocket. ]

Leave.

[thevanguard]

Nope.

[ Yata doesn't even look up from his video game. ]

I can't. Got a job to do.

[redstray]

Then you're fired.

[ He looks around and picks up a couple of rocks that could go through the gate. ]

At least you're game will be broken.

[thevanguard]

You can't fire me, you're not the one that hired me.

[ Yata points this out with a surprisingly patient tone, but he shifts his body to angle it protectively between his screen and whatever Eric is picking those rocks up for. What are you, five? ]

[redstray]

[ Sometimes he's five, so what? He's still going to throw one of the rocks at him, he wants him gone. ]

What, so you're going to stand out here all day and night? How are you suppose to use the room you got this stupid job for?

[thevanguard]

I'm not the only one who needs it.

[ Yata shrugs, as if it's not that big a deal. The room will get used even if he's not in it - that had been part of the deal, too. ]

Did you ever think of anything I'm supposed to be here protecting you from or are you still just being clueless too?

[redstray]

No, I don't know who would be after me. If I did then this would at least make a bit more sense then less then nothing.

[thevanguard]

[ Yata makes a noise of sympathetic frustration, sighing heavily. ]

Yeah, that guy's pretty frustrating, any way you look at it, I guess. Apparently he thinks there's some reason for it, though.

[redstray]

[ He huffs a bit. ]

Maybe from himself. Why he would send a noisy Chihuahua though is beyond me.

[thevanguard]

[ Yata blinks at that word before bristling and pushing himself up straighter to glare at the guy on the other side of the gate. ]

A... what?! I'm not!

[redstray]

You sure bark like one.

[thevanguard]

[ He narrows his gaze at the blond. ]

Look, if anyone is barking here it's you, not me. I was just minding my own business. And obeying an assignment a god gave me. So if you've got a problem with it, take it up with him. Maybe he'll give you more answers than he gave me.

[redstray]

You're the one sitting outside my temple watching me like a stalker. We have enough strays in here.

[ He scoffs, he wish he could do that. He really would.]

He won't even talk to me, just turns and leaves. At least you live with that weirdo.

[thevanguard]

I was watching my video game screen, for your information. You didn't look like you were in any immediate danger of biting it. I figured it was fine.

[ Yata rolls his eyes. ]

Yeah, I didn't get much more from him than that, either. And I don't live there. They just offered me and a friend a place to stay until I get reassigned. I'm not 'stalking you' by choice.

[monkeyblue]

[It was like pulling teeth, but eventually Fushimi got Yata's location out of Suoh. Seriously, what was with that guy?

And of course he walks up just in time to hear Eric call Yata a stalker. He chuckles]

Tired of me already, Yata?

[...that's a strange, faint pain in his heart at that. Best not to dwell on it.]

[redstray]

[ Eric eyes the newcomer and glares. Why does all this have to happen when Ren's not around?

Did Mikoto ask this Yata guy to stalk this other weirdo too? Damn it he'd rather not deal with thus. ]

Hmph, take this idiot away from here if you're desperate. He's not welcome here.

[thevanguard]

[ Yata's head thuds back against the gate as he groans aloud. Why this though? ]

I told you already, I don't got a say in that. [ Which is what has him turning to fix Fushimi with a look, jabbing a finger in his general direction. ] Shut up. This is our rent.

[monkeyblue]

[He is totally ignoring you for the moment, Eric.]

Tch, didn't realize Suoh was that kind of man, taking advantage of us. He's making you stalk this guy?

[redstray]

[ Eric kicks the gate close to Yata's head. Don't bang your head on it. And ignore him all you want, Eric cares more about getting this guy to leave then anything else.]

I'm sure you could have found a place that didn't require such a useless payment!

[thevanguard]

He's making me bodyguard him. Or something. Although the guy's being an asshole about it.

[ Said with a jerk of his thumb at the blond still behind the gate. ]

You think people'd appreciate being kept alive.

[monkeyblue]

[Fushimi looks at Eric]

Are you alive right now?

[redstray]

Does it look like I'm not?

[Besides you know...dying to become a shinki.]

[thevanguard]

[ Another roll of his eyes. ]

I can see how he'd tempt people to change that, though.

[monkeyblue]

[Fushimi rolls his eyes and bonks his wrist on Yata's head]

Don't be stupid. He's alive, he's doesn't want you here, and what's the point of being a bodyguard for rent if you never use the room. Just do a drive-by once a day so you can tell Suoh you have and stop being creepy, Yata.

[redstray]

[ THAT'S WHAT HE'S BEEN SAYING]

Listen to your friend, at least he's making sense.

[thevanguard]

[ Yata swats Saru's hand away, scowling up at him because you're supposed to be on his side here, dammit. ]

And if there is a reason I'm supposed to be keeping an eye on him?

[monkeyblue]

Then Suoh can tell you. He told you the bare minimum, so do the bare minimum.

[redstray]

What could you possibly do anyways? You're not a god and I already have one. Wouldn't be of much help if there was any danger.

[thevanguard]

[ Now he looks offended. ]

Shows how much you know. But fine. Whatever. [ He pushes himself to his feet finally, skateboard tucked under his arm and looking annoyed. ]

[monkeyblue]

[Now the "you're a dumbass" glare is turned on Eric]

Help your god? They can't do everything.
