primetime: hey did u wanna watch me make that sword or to just bring it back to snail

Re: text

[abovefate]

[ there's the MOCHI IS TYPING... text for a while, and he keeps deleting and rewriting

but eventually ]

Mochi: I'll watch. Where are you?

[neonleon]

primetime: outside between mouse and snail

[abovefate]

[ leaving that message on read and just showing up a little later ]

This better be worth watching.

[neonleon]

[He's standing there with now twin katana, blue all the way and grins.]

It's a neat family trick. [He shifts both his swords to one hand and holds up in his other.... a pencil.]

Ready?

[abovefate]

[ despite him trying his best to look uninterested and detached, the curiosity is obvious in his face, and he's just kind of staring. ]

You're making a sword with a pencil.

[neonleon]

Oh-ho yeah.

[He could just hold it still and do that. But where's the drama? The theatrics? No, he has to do this with a little flare, twirling it between his three fingers as a blue light emits from him - stripes on his skin all glowing with it - before it solidifies into a light construct... and then he strengthens his grip on it solidifying it into a wakizashi with a blue color from the habaki to the kashira.

He'll flip it and hold it hilt toward Mochi.]

One sword, as promised.

[abovefate]

[ he definitely enjoys the theatrics, so good call on it. He has his full attention as he shows off, and even after, once he holds the wakizashi out to him, he's quiet and taking a few moments to examine it ]

Such a different method ...

But I think I like this more. [ a pause, and then he adds ] Well, thank you.

[neonleon]

Any time.

[For all that he's loud talking, he at least can back it up.]

[abovefate]

I'll ask you again if I need another weapon.

I'd say we're even, since I told your brother you're cuter than he is. But in the interest of being a good teammate ... I'll admit I still owe you a debt.

[neonleon]

[Perking RIGHT UP. He didn't expect to get anything else out of this exchange, just some good rubbing-his-brother's-face.]

You think so? Something in mind?

[abovefate]

No, that's for you to decide. What would you want in exchange?

[neonleon]

Hm.

I've only been here a couple of days, but you mind if I take an IOU on that? Give it some thought?

[abovefate]

No, but don't get too annoying with it. I can still refuse if I don't like the request.

[neonleon]

[Chuckling.] Don't worry, I would never.

It'll be something good, promise.

[abovefate]

I'll accept a moderate amount of being annoying. If that's it, then, I'll leave you be.

Unless you wanted to put these to the test?

[neonleon]

[Just watching him for now.]

How strong a test are you thinking?

[abovefate]

Mmm ...

Well, not enough that we'd seriously injure each other. But enough to actually test how good your skills are.

[neonleon]

[Leo looks downright giddy.]

All right! Yeah, yeah, I'm up for it.

[abovefate]

Don't get too excited, it's not my primary weapon of choice, you know ...

Well, where should we do that?

Day 47

[firstworldproblem]

[Not a text.

Post game at some point he will find in his room a simple purple flower. It is definitely native to this cult landscape. Affixed to the flower is a simple note that simply says 'Radiant One'.]

Re: Day 47

[abovefate]

[ oh. That's cute, though it doesn't have the PLEASE PROTECT ME, he still appreciates it.

He would text emet to see if this is what he's asking for, but he's not sure he'd bother checking his phone, so instead he'll knock on his room door ]

Re: Day 47

[firstworldproblem]

[He will receive no answer for the knocking. It is unlocked if he wants to confirm that no one is there. The old man isn't in Snail.]

Re: Day 47

[abovefate]

[ he does go in to check but then decides he's probably fine.

Surely no one is actually going to fuck him up for the game. Surely ]

Re: Day 47

[firstworldproblem]

[Luckily, he is more likely to come home with frostbite than anything!]
