Like the Barenaked Ladies

Who: Shizuo and OPEN
When: August 7th-13th
Where: Specified with each prompt
What: Let's just say that it's been quite a week.



I. Ra's Third Destruction - August 7th (Temple of Ra)
[ It'd been a while, and Izumo hadn't shown up at the bar. Like at all. Which was starting to get Shizuo very concerned. Enough that he did something that he would otherwise never go about doing; Actually invite himself to Mikoto/Ra's temple. Imagine his surprise when there were two giant and neon purple, pink and green centipedes crawling all over the structure and already having started to break through the walls' integrity. ]

Ah... Shit.

[ There's no borderline, which meant something happened to Izumo. Which has the blond looking to see if he can grab someone to run assistance. And him without those damn gauntlets that were made for this exact thing. ]


II. Double Vision Delivery - August 7th (The Far Shore)
[ While not in the best state right now, Shizuo was walking down the paths and across the Far Shore with two people that were in far worse shape than he was. If being comatose and snoozing away counted as worse shape, at least. Which meant anyone could see the awkward scene of Shizuo trying to carry the two over one shoulder, as his other arm hung limp as a wet noodle at his side.

Look, it's weird and out in the open for anyone to see. That can't be helped. It's less awkward than the destroyed temple. ]



III. Double Cross's Delayed Debut - August 8th-10th (Double Cross Bar)
[ This was about the time that Double Cross was supposed to officially open for business. It was certainly supposed to be one of these days. However the bar had this thing going on where, despite the time it was actively being renovated, people could still be served if they showed up and Izumo was around. The supplies were in, everything was cleaned up and that wall of photos had started to get filled out.

Now there was a different blond in place, manning the bar. Not that everyone noticed when they first got in; after all, they looked similar enough for some people. The main thing is that they sounded different. Shizuo's voice was deeper, despite being the thinner/more waif of the two. The other is that this blond wore a black vest instead of a nice suit jacket, though both were suitable for a bartender's uniform. ]


Welcome.


IV. Poor Man's Football - August 9th - 13th (Abandoned Temples)
[ Hearing strange and loud sounds from the abandoned temples is nothing new. Unless you haven't been here for long, it was a regular enough occurrence that it usually meant someone was training or working on something.

This time, though it was hard to tell when or how he got them there (or from where,) there was a junk car and motorcycle on the temple property. Given the notice for being crushed, they weren't stolen from someone who would actually care enough to miss it. Neither had wheels, and judging by the lack of shattered fiberglass and filaments, the lights were also gone.

Today's disastrous sounds were coming from Shizuo, currently bound with one arm in a sling, trying to kick the motorcycle carcass up to bounce up onto his knee. The trick isn't kicking it up- it's managing the height and angle to easily get to his knee. Just as the difficulty for any other football trick is. ]


C'mon. I know I can do this...


V. Cat Tower Tribulations - August 9th - 12th (Aine's Temple)
[ After getting his shoulder looked at, and 'advised' to wear the sling again for a few days, there was a new challenge that started presenting itself. For, at the temple, there were two sets of problems. By two sets, that meant two striped kittens that went by the names Eun and Min. When he wore the sling for all of the first two days after the ablution, they weren't a problem because he was mostly sleeping that time away. Now he was moving around, and with one arm unable to stop them, it wasn't long until they realized he was a moving cat tower.

The problem is that he didn't know they were there until he saw something, and that only alerted him to one of the felines. If he saw the grey striped one, then the brown one was probably on his back or something. This was probably one of their more favorite games. ]


Oi, stop- Dammit, not again.

[ Help. ]


VI. The Wildcard
[ Come up with something, anything, for this time period if none of the other prompts fits. You can either just toss that in, or plot with me at [plurk.com profile] demonia ]

[ Look, he has a lot of time on his hands right now!

He huffs and flops down on one of the cracked boulders. ]
Tell me about it. And ahh...? Yeah, I think Hakkai mentioned that he knew him pretty well. Enough that he asked what happened to Hibari's pets after he vanished, anyway.
thevanguard: serious, attitude (203)

[personal profile] thevanguard 2017-08-08 04:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[ There's only so many hours of the day you can fill with punching things, Shizuo. ]

Me either, but I guess he was. Maybe it was just people he didn't like.
thevanguard: serious confused attitude (088)

[personal profile] thevanguard 2017-08-10 02:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Is that what he was pissed at you for?

[ Yata blinks at him a moment. ]
thevanguard: Manga Attitude (069)

[personal profile] thevanguard 2017-08-11 03:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Yata just gives him a dry look. ]

No wonder you pissed him off. That's pretty damn condescending, man. Besides, maybe he coulda handled it.
thevanguard: Manga Attitude Confused (076)

[personal profile] thevanguard 2017-08-17 02:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Yata just looks skeptical. ]

Then what's it about?
thevanguard: manga, confused, attitude (211)

[personal profile] thevanguard 2017-08-17 03:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Hah? [ He doesn't get it. ] Why does it make you sick? I don't understand. If they can handle it, then isn't it better to fight with them honestly? It's just sparring.

[ Fighting is meant to be straightforward, at least in his mind. ]
thevanguard: serious emotions attitude (139)

[personal profile] thevanguard 2017-08-19 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yata makes a consenting noise, because that made sense, he guesses. ]

That guy really did just like fighting for the sake of fighting, from what I saw.

[ There was a reason he'd taken to avoiding his own temple before Tsuna and Hibari had both vanished on him. He hadn't known what to do about it at all. ]
thevanguard: Loud Attitude (030)

[personal profile] thevanguard 2017-08-19 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
Pretty sure that had nothing to do with what you liked or didn't like, dude. I don't think he woulda given a shit either way.
thevanguard: serious attitude (108)

[personal profile] thevanguard 2017-08-20 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Look, the sky coulda been blue and caused a problem. You were just convenient.

[ You're not the only one. ]
thevanguard: manga, happy, attitude (210)

[personal profile] thevanguard 2017-08-22 03:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Yata snorts. ]

Yeah, luckily. Now you just gotta worry about Izumo's god.
thevanguard: confused (140)

[personal profile] thevanguard 2017-08-24 12:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That gives Yata a pause for a moment. And then he grimaces, burying his face in a hand. ]

Yeah, shit. You're probably right. I think pissing Izumo off would be a bad idea.
thevanguard: Serious Confused (050)

[personal profile] thevanguard 2017-08-24 03:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Does he have it all rebuilt now? [ Yata's interest piques at this for a moment, his expression thoughtful. ]
