016 | The Good Old Days

Who: Everyone!
What: Ageswapping
When: July 15-17
Where: Everywhere
Summary: A breach in the space-time continuum is messing things up.

Edit: OVERFLOW is here!



The Far Shore has been dealing with a lot of space-time pulsating through the past week or so and everything is culminating on the night of the 15th, even though the Heavens are preparing for an all-out Obon bash. They had planned to have the celebration on the 15th itself, but Amaterasu asked to postpone a day due to the horrible feeling that is permeating the Far Shore.

And it turns out she was right to postpone everything. In fact, it will have to be postponed another whole month at this rate...



Before

    Late in the day on July 15th, the new batch of shinki will arrive to a Far Shore with a thick, tense atmosphere. All night on the 15th it feels like something is about to happen - and it's difficult to tell whether that something will be good or bad. Any attempts to contact the management of the Far Shore have fallen on deaf, slightly harried ears and so everyone is left to their own devices to try and figure out why things are so tense.


July 16

    Just after midnight, an explosive shock wave rips through the Far Shore, bringing on the age changes with it. Even the spirits of the Far Shore seem to be affected - for example, the library goblins are either toddling around on wobbly legs or are dragging themselves from place to place and looking decrepit. There are a few gods and shinki that seem to have been exceptions from the change, though it is not clear why.


July 17

    Another wave of energy comes in the early morning of the 17th. Fewer people are affected this time and it seems to alter those people's ages a second time. There is no rhyme or reason to who is being affected further. Several of the library goblins have just dropped dead from severe old age. Oops.


Aftermath

    Late on the 17th brings about one final burst from the energy that has been plaguing the Far Shore. For a short moment, every new temple glows with a soft light, seeming to beckon to their owners. But the light is gone quickly and everyone will find themselves back to normal with complete memories of everything that happened during their age adventures. The goblins that died, though, are still very dead. Looks like the library will need to get some new help soon.




In Summary:
  • Meet the newbies
  • Get aged or de-aged
  • Deal with other too young/too old people
  • Try to handle the consequences
  • Have fun~

[This is officially one of the worst mornings he's ever experienced in his entire life. Not only did he wake up as a kid, he got into a stupid, explosive argument with his best friend, turned him into a howling puppy, then ended up dropping his pants right in front of him. This is torture. Absolute torture.

As quick as he can, Rin bends down to grab his pants and yank them back up and this time he'll do both of them a favor and tighten the straps on the front to make sure they won't have an unfortunate repeat of this later. Ugh, how embarrassing. And Sousuke just had to be short enough.

Though speaking of that, it'd probably be best if he changed him back. Possibly. Well, consequences be damned, Rin turns around, rubs his eyes, and just before heading back out towards the bedroom makes sure to mutter his shinki's proper name to trigger the transformation. Puppy time was entertaining and all... for a minute or two. But right now he's not in the mood for it.]


I'm gonna lie down again.

[personal profile] sharkmaid 2017-07-12 02:26 am (UTC)(link)

[He's... not even sure what happened here. How did their faces just happen to be that close to each other? And even if they did, how did they manage to-- to do that!? Briefly he questions if Sousuke might have done it on purpose, but... No, that doesn't make any sense! And Rin definitely didn't do it on purpose either! S-So--!

He jerks back right as Sousuke does and burrows so far down under the covers it makes his head swim. He can't look at him. He can't even talk to him!

Well, he manages that for a few seconds. Until Sousuke goes shrieking at him and he has to toss back the covers again, revealing pink cheeks and damp eyes, semi-pointed teeth flashing when he growls,]


W-was not!!

[Sniffle sniffle]

You turned your head too fast!!

But it can be your home too, Senri. If you want.

[Do they have to keep thinking about it?! It’s an accident, never has to happen again, hell they can deny it ever occurred and he’ll be fine with that! If only his stupid mouth would stop burning like a firecracker! Sousuke drops down onto the bed again, face buried in the pillow despite his moment-ago-yell of a retort still ringing in his ears.

Of course he had to yell at him! He’s not going to take the blame for this! It’s Rin’s fault for getting so close and pestering him!

It’s really no one’s fault and he knows it, but he can’t let it slide. Someone has to take the blame here because it’s embarrassing! He just had his mouth on his friend’s mouth! AS A KID! That’s even worse, weirder, what—SOMETHING!

Sousuke doesn’t even look when he hears the covers get yanked down; he knows Rin’s going to yell, all teary-eyed and red-faced. Doesn’t want to look up and see it because he knows exactly where his stupid eyes are going to go.

… seriously? Was he crying? Come ooonnn… Sousuke groans in annoyance into the fluffy depths of the pillow.]


Wouldn’t’ve mattered if you’d not been riding all up my back!

[So there!]

[Sousuke’s got his head turned so far around, he’s probably going to break his neck or something. Of course it’s not occurred to him to actually turn around. (Because if he does, Rin’s probably going to end up braining himself or something.) Sheesh, can this morning get any worse? First the whole kid thing, then the stupid argument over something stupid, then he gets stuck in his puppy form, then Rin drops his pants right in front of him and brands Sousuke’s eyeballs with that image, and now they’re both a frustrated mess with Sousuke’s additionally dealing with the realization he just gave his god a dog kiss.

Yeah, this is the best morning ever.

He’s utterly relieved when Rin finally rips his pants up his legs and doesn’t move until he’s confident the other boy’s got those pants tied and locked. Only then does he finally turn his head around (and OW his neck) and look at the other boy. Thank god for all this fur because his face is beet red under it… It’s hard to even look at him right now.

But there’s no comment… and suddenly Rin’s turning around and before Sousuke can respond, the familiar rush of water is wrapping around him and poof (more like splash) he’s back on two feet. With his boxer briefs hanging half off his own hips. Sousuke sucks in a breath and yanks them up hard enough to hurt. Better than the alternative…]


Fine. Yeah… uh…

[Great. Now he feels guilty on top of embarrassed and frustrated. He just wants to get a shower and unwind but… Sousuke looks up at the door as Rin leaves.

Tsk… He follows after him. Look, he can’t let him be all frustrated alone. Even if he’s in a wreck of a mood, they’re still a team… right?]
sharkmaid: (⚡ have we mentioned he's tsundere)

[personal profile] sharkmaid 2017-07-12 07:26 am (UTC)(link)

[His lips aren't fairing any better over here, tingling and warm, even warmer now that he's shoved himself under the sheets where their combined body heat flushes his face. It's probably for the best they can't see each other, at least for a minute or so, because Rin's positive this situation will only escalate if they can. Though speaking of that, are they... overreacting? Is this worth getting worked up over? Or are they in the right to yell and blame each other over... whatever the heck that was?

Tsk. Who is he kidding? He knows exactly what that was.

... It was his first kiss. Wasn't it?

Rin doesn't have a comeback for that muffled grumble nor does he feel like coming up with one. Instead, he curls his fingers into the sheets so tightly his knuckles turn white, bites his lip, then abruptly tosses the blankets off his body so he can stand. This is stupid. And there's no way they can sleep like this. Not in the same bed.

So he goes, grabbing his pillow as he quickly stomps off towards the bedroom door.]
sharkmaid: (⚡ for dad)

[personal profile] sharkmaid 2017-07-12 07:44 am (UTC)(link)

[At least Sousuke listened and didn't look. But if he's going to hurt his neck in the process, Rin isn't going to help him there, ok? It's not even his fault his pants happened to fall down at that exact second! Look, it's been a hectic morning, there's too much going on at once, and he's pretty sure kids their age need more sleep than what they got last night. Ugh. He's usually all for getting up early to greet the sun, but this is a rare case of Rin wanting to crawl back under the sheets and pass out for the rest of the day.

Back in the bedroom, Rin slowly pulls himself up onto his side of the bed where he curls up, back facing the bathroom and face shoved into his pillow. Should be in the bath. Should be running or swimming or whatever else to get his mind off of this mess.

Seems like Sousuke's following after him though, which somehow makes him curl up tighter. He's not thinking of getting back into bed too, is he? He's not so sure he can look at him properly right now! Ugh, was everything always this stressful as a kid? But... they are a team. They promised to get through everything together, no matter how difficult or strange.

Sighing, Rin lifts his face up from his pillow.]


What are we supposed to do now?
takenwithhim: (⚡ stay there - i'll kill you later)

[personal profile] takenwithhim 2017-07-13 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Sousuke keeps his face smooshed into the pillow; he might end up suffocating himself, but that’s better than fessing up and facing Rin right now, right? Not really… but it feels that way! He knows Rin isn’t looking at him either and it’s no easy thing on his side of the bed. Seriously, what’s he supposed to think? He just kissed Rin! His first kiss … as far as he knows.

Of course now that time’s passing, he’s actually getting to think about this logically. It’s just a kiss. They’re freaking out about a little accidental mouth touch that could’ve happened just as easily if they’d been wrestling on the floor or something. And they’d probably end up yelling at each other over that too, but it’d be more embarrassing if they were older. Or not… Ugh! He doesn’t know! It’s not like he wants to up and do it again or where the hell’d that thought come fro-?!

Sousuke tenses a little when the bed bounces and he hears blankets fly and sheets his. … Rin’s getting out of the bed. So what, he’s leaving? Hmph! Fine, he can be that way! Just walk off and he’ll get to sleep in the bed all by himself and… you know… get some sleep for once. Or something. … Great, now he’s pouting into his pillow as well as being red in the face.

It’d just been some accidental touch… right? … UGH.]


Where’re you going?

[Duh, but he wants to hear Rin say it so he can hear how stupid it sounds.]
takenwithhim: (⚡ scanning for viruses)

[personal profile] takenwithhim 2017-07-13 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Well he definitely didn’t look again, but the first flash—and yes, you totally flashed him—isn’t ever leaving his mind. Still, doing what he can to make sure Rin gets to keep his decency. (All the while biting his tongue so he doesn’t snap out that Rin’s already seen him naked before.) Che… This is a stupid morning and he’s already feeling tired. Even more so now that he’s back in his human body. The shower behind him definitely calls out and he wants to go soak… but he can’t let Rin go moping away like that all alone.

Not after squeezing into his lap and trying to make things calm down.

Sousuke pauses at the bathroom door, watching the other boy in the room. Back to to the bed, curling up like some pathetic ball of misery and frustration. His mouth twitches into a semi-irritated frown. Jeeze, Rin’s such a moody mood… mooder. Not that Sousuke’s totally fine with all of this, but shouldn’t they be out doing something rather than sitting around in balls of grump? He could very well go off and do something on his own but…

With a sigh, he shuts off the bathroom light and heads for the bed. Well, no, he’s not getting back in the bed with him yet. But he does come around to Rin’s side and plop down on his butt next to the bed, back to the bedframe, more or less “below” Rin. The top of his head’s above the mattress at least (normally his upper back and above is at that level… man he got small). Drawing his legs up, Sousuke rests his elbows on his knees and lets his arms dangle out in front of him like weird feelers. And just when he’s about to open his mouth and say something, he gets a question instead.

Oh. Urgh… Don’t put him on the spot! Sousuke frowns again]


Get up and move forward?
sharkmaid: (⚡ it's ok)

[personal profile] sharkmaid 2017-07-13 09:06 am (UTC)(link)

[The bathtub does sound pretty nice right about now... but they only have one and he's not exactly sure where the next closest one is in the castle, so right now Rin would rather stay out and sort through his weird feelings as they ebb and flow. It's weird, being moody like this. So maybe he can be kind of moody normally, but somehow as a kid that fluctuates even more. One second he's yelling, the next he's sad and mopey... There's a reason he doesn't like sticking himself in the past much. Too many roller coasters, too many awkward memories.

With his cheek pressed to the pillow, Rin waits for Sousuke's footsteps to either head out the door or backpedal into the bathroom again, but when they come up behind him he shifts his eyes towards the ceiling, curious as to what he's planning on doing. He could sit on him, get back into bed, make good on his word and punch him in the head. Or... sit on the floor. Tsk. Again with the floor.

He doesn't reply, not straight away at least, because it's easier to draw shapes in the sheets with his fingers and pretend the bed doesn't feel too huge for his body. Move forward. Easy for him to say. He's not the one who just dropped his pants in front of his best friend. Hell, he's afraid if he moves at all, he'll end up doing the same thing all over again. With a pout, Rin turns his gaze to his pillow one more time.]


Didn't you wanna take a bath?
sharkmaid: (⚡ call me beep me)

[personal profile] sharkmaid 2017-07-13 09:26 am (UTC)(link)

[Could that even be counted as a kiss? It was... more an accidental lip brush, if anything. Come on, Rin, you're the god of love and expert of all things romantic, right? This shouldn't be rocket science to you... But it feels that way and he wants nothing more than to explode and– What if they did that when they were older? Would they be reacting the same or... Ugh, what does it matter? Why should he care? It happened and there's no way they can go back to change it!

He already has the door opened when Sousuke speaks up again but rather than keep on walking he freezes, pillow pulled to his chest and fingers shaking on the door handle. Where's he going? Well, another bedroom might be a start. Not like he'll be able to sleep there either. Maybe he's hungry? Nn, no, that's not right either.

In the end, he holds his pillow tighter to his body then with a muffled,]
Outside! [he takes off down the hall. There's a balcony nearby he can step onto for some fresh air at least. That'll cool his face, his nerves and whatever else. It has to.]

That’s good then. [ He does wonder where they picked that up, but it’s fine. He’ll learn somehow. ]

I can spare some, there’re plenty of ‘em here, an’ if ya’re interested I can share feed for ‘em an’ ya can raise ‘em for yourself.

[ As long as they have somewhere to keep them, and they can walk freely, really, it’s not that complicated once you’ve got the hang of raising chickens. ]

Yeah, I do. I’m Roy, it’s nice t’meet ya. What’s it ya’d like t’ be called, son?

Long’s there’s thread, needle, an’ a scissor, it’ll be jus’ fine. There’re some other stuff there too.

[ Various threads, colors, types. Thimbles, untacker, buttons, measuring tape… ]

Ah, this ought’a work.
takenwithhim: (⚡ ... right)

[personal profile] takenwithhim 2017-07-14 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Sousuke lifts one hand and drops it, watching it bounce a little on his wrist. Something to do as they sit here in this awkward mess and figure whether talking’s a good idea or not. It’s not like he can entirely blame Rin for being in a weird mood right now. They both woke up the same way and neither have an idea of what’s going on, what’s going to happen, or when it’s going to end.

Sousuke doesn’t like this any more than Rin does. He feels like he suddenly doesn’t have any control over his life; hell, for no reason at all, he’s been turned back into a kid! And yeah, even if he is telling Rin they should just up and move on, he knows it’s not that easy. He’s frustrated and irritated too. But sitting around and crying isn’t going to help. Neither’s getting up and going swimming, for all he knows… but it’s better than doing this.

And hey! I-it’s not like Sousuke’d wanted Rin to barge in on him in the shower! But he wasn’t stomping around and pouting afterwards… Just grumbling and stuff. But they got over it and ended up racing each other around the kitchen later. He grumps at the floor for a few moments when Rin suggests he go for that bath again. Yeah, that’d been his aim… before he realized he’d been turned into a kid.]


Che… I did. But if you’re gonna sit out here and mope all morning, then you should get one first.

[Because it’d calm Rin down and make him feel better, right? Being in the water and all.]
takenwithhim: (⚡ towards an unknown future)

[personal profile] takenwithhim 2017-07-14 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Well that’s his answer. Sousuke’s frown probably reaches the bedsheets as he watches Rin storm out of the room. There’s a part of him that wants to go after. Because yes, it does sound stupid. The whole thing. But the majority of him is still a flustered, frustrated mess and he’s got no intention to do anything but sit here.

So he does.

Right in the middle of that big bed. Their big bed. Used to be just “Rin’s” bed. Hmph. Is he angry? Is he sad? Is he glad to be alone for a bit? Is his stomach twisting in knots and his tongue sticking to the roof of his mouth? All of those. Sousuke punches both fists into the bedsheets and heaves himself over, flopping onto his back like a beached fish. Arms splayed out, legs spread, taking up as much space on the bed.

Before scrambling all his lanky limbs like he’s making some kind of sheet angle. So stupid! If he’d just kept his body still and not turned around, none of this would’ve happened! They could’ve been joking and wrestling and having a great time right now! But nooo, someone had to ruin it by moving too fast. … Rin shouldn’t have been jumping on his back either. He told him to stop it! Rin didn’t listen to him!

Sousuke gives his arms and legs a shake to stop their motions and glares up at the ceiling. Pooey. This sucks.

… and of course now his brain’s reaching back to the way Rin’s lips felt against his own and the kid’s about to scream in a few minutes. Or—well… at least whine.]
sharkmaid: (⚡ SPLASH FREE)

[personal profile] sharkmaid 2017-07-14 09:46 am (UTC)(link)

[It's easy to forget they don't exactly have control over what will and won't happen in this world. Who comes, who goes. What they'll wake up as tomorrow or if they'll even wake up at all. Kind of a gruesome thought, too gruesome for this early in the morning, but Rin can't help himself. It's just one thing after another...

Still, Souske's right. Staying put and moping about it won't do them any good and certainly won't change them back as far as he knows. The best they can do is carry on with their daily routines as if nothing's out of place. It won't be easy to get started or keep going for that matter, but... they have to do something. Anything.

It's how they got this far in the first place, isn't it?]


I'm not gonna sit out here and mope all morning.

[he retaliates quietly while sitting up, one hand holding himself steady while the other straightens his hair out in places where it sticks up. Ugh. It's weird having his hair this short again. Clicking his tongue, Rin finally peers over the edge of the bed to where his shinki sits on the floor. Come to think of it... when they were kids-- No, that'd be weird.]

And I'm not gonna let you do that either while I take up the tub, you know.

[So... clearly they need to have a compromise here.]
sharkmaid: (⚡ free)

[personal profile] sharkmaid 2017-07-14 10:06 am (UTC)(link)

[It's easier this way, putting some distance between them so they don't end up wrecking their surroundings or each other in the process. Or so he thinks. At first. Can't say he isn't used to it... and as he stomps down the hall he wonders if he's experiencing some weirder form of déjà vu. Didn't they fight over something stupid like this before? Probably. No, not probably. Definitely. And didn't that fight end up exactly like this too? Going their separate ways, giving the cold shoulder, eventually breaking the quiet with a compromise or a cola.

Is he sad? Is he angry? No... He's not quite either of those things. And once his footsteps draw to a halt in front of the balcony door at the end of the hall, Rin realizes he's more exhausted than anything else. Could've just slept and gotten it over with.

... He wonders what Sousuke's doing. Hn. Probably got his head shoved under his pillow. Or maybe he's spread out like a starfish and cursing the ceiling. Both images make him scoff either way just before he pushes open the large glass door to let the nighttime chill brush against his face. Who cares what that idiot's doing? He's going to do his own thing and enjoy it without him!

Rin still has his pillow pulled to his chest when he makes his way closer to the stone railing, which proves to be for the best since it's colder than anticipated out here. Out here where he can hear water and branches, his own heart thump-thumping away between his ears... Rin folds his arms over the railing, using his pillow for added cushion, and stares down at the gardens several feet below. He's not sure if everything's always been this huge or if his smaller frame only makes it seem that way. For that matter, has everything always been this... important? It seems he's been paying extra special attention to everything he's done these past two days, from his choice of words with that woman he never met over the network to the way he smiled at her when they parted ways... from the way he overreacted in the morning to the way his teeth wouldn't stop itching right now.

Unconsciously Rin purses his lips as if that will help dull the weird sensation. Must be something to do with his not-quite-pointy-teeth and nothing at all to do with Sousuke's lips on his--

He could scream into this pillow, he really could! ... Instead, he opts for whining. Stupid Sousuke. ... Stupid him for getting so close.]
takenwithhim: (⚡ yeah no just stfu)

[personal profile] takenwithhim 2017-07-15 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
[In the past, he’s wondered if he’d always be plagued by that realization. Not having control over his own life, his own memories stripped away. But because of Rin, Sousuke’s not had the chance to sit and wallow in that mess. Rin’s encouraged him to move forward, to make memories to fill his empty mind, to swim so he could overcome the deliberating issue of nostalgia. Live now, live forward. He’s always been there for him. While Sousuke doesn’t dismiss his past (what of it he’s made anew), he knows it’s not going to do them any favors right now. Suck it up and continue. That’s what Rin’s encouraged him to do.

Besides, who knows. They might end up having fun (amid a billion tons of awkward). But so long as it’s with Rin…]


Heh, yes you were. [A smug little lift of his shoulders and smirk in his voice.] Aaaaall morning.

[Don’t even try to fib. You were gonna sit on your butt in the bed and pouty. Sousuke knows Rin wouldn’t do that; he’d get bored too fast, but why would Sousuke turn down a chance to rib him? He stays where he is even when Rin sits up, arching his feet onto their balls to lazily bounce his forearms in the air again. But when Rin looks over the edge of the bed, Sousuke tilts his head back to look up at him, brows slightly furrowed in curiosity and a slight dare when Rin says that.]

Do what?

[ Mope? Does he look like he’s moping? No. Sit on the floor? Uh… Where’s Rin think he’s gonna sit when he’s taking up the tub? On the counter? … Well he could. Sousuke huffs, reaches up, and pushes at Rin’s face.]

Go get in the bath. [Dummy.] Your hair’s sticking out everywhere. [And seriously, it’s not that much shorter; it’s got the same style and bangs and everything.]
takenwithhim: (⚡ guess there's no choice left)

[personal profile] takenwithhim 2017-07-15 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Easier, yes. But more frustrating. Because even if Sousuke thinks it’s better to be alone right now—and it probably is—he can only lie here with his thoughts. Unable to talk to Rin or yell at him or otherwise hash out this problem between them. So many times, they’ve gotten into fights, sometimes over serious big things, often over stupid little things. Their first night after Rin made him his shinki, they’d split up by the time the night came. Sousuke’d been too frustrated over his lack of memories, over Rin’s responses. And he knows Rin had been pretty overwhelmed too. It wasn’t like the other boy had tried to stick around when Sousuke drifted off into silence to do stare out one of the room windows.

Eventually he’d gone to find Rin and ended up spending his first night on the floor in a nest of blankets and pillows beside his god’s bed. The morning had been… well… a mess, both with good things and bad things. It’s annoying, thinking back on all those things as he lies here in the bed. Burdened under the awkward feeling left over by the kis—MOUTH MISTAKE!—and knowing Rin’s frustrated all over again, his mind wanders over those other memories. The sound of Rin’s voice calling his name, the way he smiles at him after taking a taste test of whatever Sousuke’s making for the night, that growling pout whenever the other boy’s embarrassed or irritated. It’s not been a very long time, and yet, Sousuke feels like he knows a lot about Rin.

Strange to think of it that way. He’s pretty sure Rin’s either stomped off into another room and flopped face down on another bed to go have himself a hot, not-crying session, or ended up outside looking up at the stars with that stupid pillow pushed up to his chin. Sousuke snorts quietly and rolls onto his side, shoving one arm under the pillow. Che… why should he care what Rin’s doing right now? He’s the one being a huge butt over some little accident. It’s still Rin’s fault for getting so close to him.]
Told you… dramatic maniac. [Grumble grumble. If Rin wants to be alone, then fine, he can be alone. Sousuke doesn’t need him around. He’s fine being on his own, being responsible for himself.

There’s so much stuff that happened over the past few days, all because of them being little kids. Not just with each other either. The beach, the park, the few people he met… Crap! He’s licking his lips again! Sousuke shoves himself up and off the bed with a huff. They still burn! He can still feel the sensation of Rin’s mouth on them. It’s his turn to go stomping off, his path taking him to the bathroom so he can shove his face under the faucet and splash his mouth a few times. Drink some cold water while he’s here too.

Maybe later he’d try to go to sleep.]
sharkmaid: (⚡ you worry me)

[personal profile] sharkmaid 2017-07-15 02:41 am (UTC)(link)

[He did tell him all that, didn't he? Not to mope, not to dwell on what he doesn't have or can't do. Now here he is, pouting and doing all that and then some. It's not a very nice feeling, so that's why he sits up in the first place. Not to mention Sousuke helps that along even further when his stupid teasing.]

Nuh-uh!

[Hmph, that's right! He'd just get bored sitting here and eventually have to take a few laps around the pool, then the castle then the pool all over again. He considers bringing that up as a suggestion instead, but soon there's a hand on his face and-- Hey! There's a hand on his face! What the heck is that for!?

Grumbling, he reaches down immediately after, both hands trying to get into Sousuke's hair so he can ruffle it up.]


Like you're one to talk! Look at your bed head here!

Besides, Sousuke's feeling restless himself and that's strange considering he seems far less energetic than Rin most of the time. Not that he's any less intense when he wants to be active... He doesn't blame the other boy for his actions or feelings though. Both of them had a rude awakening, both said some stupid things, and they're dealing with it.

In the best way they know how: being a supportive pain to each other.]


Uh-huh.

[How's that for a counter argument? Sousuke knows Rin enough by now to make those calls. He wonders for a bit if the gym's going to even work for them. It's not like they can pump the same weights they used to all grown up. (Sousuke's very much aware he lost a lot of muscle; this little, lanky body's proof of that. Ugh.) They can deal with it later. Right now, force Rin to move by pushing at him. That'll work.]

O-oy! What're you--?! [Get your hands out of his hair, dammit! Sousuke ducks his head, tries to pull to the side, everything except actually moving out of Rin's reach. The short, dark spikes definitely end up sticking every which a way, but at least it's not as noticeable as Rin's!]

It's not bedhead! It's "Rin messed it up!" Quit it! [He's swatting at his hands semi-half-heartedly by now.] Rin!

[ He nods and nods. He likes this whole mysteriousness about it, and being warned not to scream makes it all the better. Goku leans in closer as she pulls up the front guard thing. He peers inside and all he sees is shadows and swirly things. ]

Oooooh.

[ He blinks and then the shadows clears up a little to reveal...nothing? No head! Just a stump. He's amazed! ]

How come you have no head? Can you see anything?

You're psychic.

[ He says flatly. Nagi thinks, why not? He can move stuff with his mind. It's only natural that there are others who can do things, too. But he's not sure he likes having someone in his head. ]

Can you turn it off? [ Maybe if he could, he can teach Nagi how to shut his power off, too. ]

So why would he know anything about...this?

[ he waves at the bricks and by extension, his own ability to move them.

From what Tot says, this Mastermind sounds lazy and unreliable, in addition to a douchebag (his name says it all). ]

Oooooooooh.

[ That sounds like the best place in the whole world. Why wouldn't you spend your life there, like all the time? ]

Where's this place?? I wanna go!
