Waking the Dead 2.0 || August 19, 2063 || Friday

[icarusalsoflew]

[This one disappears for about thirty minutes, and returns as quietly as he left with two briefcases. He doesn't explain where he went, but from how he ducks into Hikaru's room for about fifteen minutes after that, it can probably be inferred that he fetched a few things from Falner.

Looks like he'll be staying at the Tower while he has taken control of his Brother's body. You're usually going to spot him hovering around, smoking, working through a glass of rum, eyes crimson-ringed and glowing oddly in all lights (or lack thereof) watching... who knows what he's watching? And that suit he's wearing - three-piece, black, pin-striped, with ghostly faces and smoke occasionally moving over the "fabric" - is pretty nice, creepiness aside.

Please excuse him if you find him suddenly popping in on you. It's just what he does.]


OOC Notes:
+ Drop starters as you please! I'll have Death haunt you accordingly. ♥
+ Feel free to do other stuff among yourselves here as well.
+ Do note that Makoto's out and solid for this evening too, so you can bug him or ping me if you want him to come around and bother you.

[ Get out. ]

But you are so busy with Rhiannon. Good luck with timing your business meetings with mine.

[larue]

[ Have a pair of puppy eyes trained your way. You know he only dares to tease you like this when none of the other Hounds are around to see -- don't want to give Stanley any ideas. ]

The Tower isn't finished yet. But when it is, it's only a couple of blocks from the Fort Strip.

[ Yes, you may punch him if you like. He's goading you deliberately. ]

[bostova]

[ She stares at him with a deep frown.





....And then hits him with the pillow next to her. ]

[larue]

--Hey, ow! [ He was both expecting and not expecting that, but okay, Bostova, you started this, GAME ON.

He's grabbing your other pillow and giving you an answering WHACK. ]

[bostova]

[ There is an undignified shriek, and she retaliates.

Twice. On your face. ]

[larue]

[ That is a Y E L P from in-between those two hits before he's lifting an arm to shield his face as he takes a shot at you to the hip.

You want a pillow fight? He'll give you a pillow fight. ]

[bostova]

[ Yeah, okay, it's on, LaRue. These might not be knives but you are totally getting hit.

Everywhere.

Until you give up. ]

wahehehehehe i am so tempted to roll for this

[larue]

[ And if you think this is anything like the beat-down you gave him back in Seigi, you are so-ho-ho-ho wrong.

HE'S NOT GONNA GIVE UP. ]

or i could do this

[bostova]

[ Oho, you picked the wrong girl to fight, LaRue.

Because after hitting you with the pillow, she shoves you off her bed.

Her room, her, uh, rules? ]

L M F A O

[larue]

[ He admittedly... did not expect that? But as Josh hits the floor he's laughing. And laughing some more. And wheezing. And laughing some more.

Have an arm shooting up to give you a thumb's up, and him speaking to you in the language you've been teaching him. ]

< Well played. >

so mature

[bostova]

[ She throws her pillow at him with a smug grin. ]

<Your Russian is getting better.>

IKR

[larue]

Hey! [ He's still laughing. And he needs to work on his response time because that pillow got him square on the chest.

Sitting up now though and grinning at you. ]

< I have a great teacher. >

need more threads like this ;u;

[bostova]

<Just great, LaRue?>

[ She's holding her hand out; she wants her pillows back. ]

yespls ALL THE CR

[larue]

[ He's handing them back -- and grinning right up at you. ]

Well, I'd say she was fantastic, but sometimes I'm not sure if a compliment will get me praise or a knife in the gut.

[ Getting up from that floor now and gingerly sitting on the edge of your bed, Miz Bostova. ]

yesssss

[bostova]

[ Yeah

Okay

You deserve this

and by this, we mean another pillow to the face. ]

LMFAO

[larue]

[ Okay, so he just barely managed to catch that. You've a mean arm.

He's also a little bit bigger than you.

So yeah, he's whacking you right back and making his way back on that bed because the closer he is, the less room you'll have :P ]

#actual5yearolds

[bostova]

[ Like she'll concede and let you win, Josh!

The closer you are, the more horrible she can get. Because she will try and shove again, like the immature little girl she actually is. (You also don't want to hear Anya's running commentary.) ]

#warpuppies

[larue]

[ You can try but using the same trick on him won't work. He's got your pillow fight strategy pegged and he'll do what he can to maneuver around it.

Have a pillow whacking you solidly on your hip/butt then, Yulia, and then a Josh pinning you down with said pillow across your chest.

Yes, your height difference might not be that far, but he is heavy and pretty broad along the shoulder. ]

#srynotsry

[bostova]

[ She lets out an embarrassing squeak when Josh pins her down on her bed. For a moment, her eyes are wide and she's staring up at Joshua, surprised-- but then a familiar memory comes to mind: her, wrestling and tumbling around with a giant housecat, and then an idea strikes her.

She-- hasn't played this trick in a long time, and certainly not to any of the Hounds, but... it was a sure trick to get Changing Breed Lynxes to stop sitting on you (or at least that particular Changing Breed, at least).

(sorry joshua)

So the next thing you know, Joshua, Yulia's hand is lightly moving up your arm to your cheek, and that surprised look on her face softens, and--Hikaru, please forgive her--her voice low and silky--- ]

Joshua...

#ginustomoyanjosh

[larue]

[ He stiffens when her hand tracks a path up his arm and a look of confusion crosses his face as he actually follows it at first and then--

--totally backing away now.

And falling back off that bed. ]

congrats this is the first time i'm using this icon (iirc)

[bostova]

[ Yulia is actually surprised that it worked. So surprised that she lets out a snort of laughter, which is promptly cut off by her hands flying to cover her mouth. She curls up to her side though, shoulders shaking as she's trying not to laugh so hard, but she can't.

Yeah, Josh. She's laughing at you.

So hard.

Right now.

Damn, she should have taken a picture of your face! ]

LMFAO YAY

[larue]

[ It's a good thing then that you can't see the disgruntled look on his face as he pushes himself up from the floor. It's a good thing the fall wasn't too far, but damn, his butt hurts.

That was foul, Yules. But you're laughing anyway, so it's all good? ]

Yules??????????????????!!

[bostova]

[ Give her five more minutes, she'll recover soon! ]

idk anymore #hugaskamay

[larue]

[ That's okay, he's kind of joining in on that laughter -- because honestly, you rarely do unless it's to make fun of people and this certainly counts as that, but still. ]

I concede. You win.

if we don't get more threads like this i will quit you

[bostova]

[ She's still giggling when she pushes herself up so she can gloat at Josh. ]

Of course I win. I always win! [ Proud little bitch. ]
