You waited for the lightning storm, though it

who: Reaper [personal profile] hellshot and Ichimatsu [personal profile] ichimyatsu
what: Talking, catching up that they still haven't done
when: July 6th
where: Floor 8
warnings: Two vulgar guys who know Zero chill, so...



[Just as promised, when Ichimatsu shows up to floor 8, the fussy ghost isn't anywhere in the flat itself.

He's idle, out on the balcony. Taken up residence on a particularly too-small looking lounge chair, a leg stretched out on it as he stares down at the city below. This place is honestly better than being on the Eluvio--with the downside of lacking the privacy his quarters back on that ship had.

When Ichimatsu shows up, he'll wave an ungloved, scarred up hand at the other, gesturing for him to take a seat on the other lounger. He's far more suitably sized for it, at least.

There's a bag with some fresh fruit, biscuits, and canned juice in it. All things Reaper really didn't need here, in a place with so much nature.]


Anyone bother you in their way in? I can shoot at them if you want.

[Is this sarcasm?]

[It's a little strange, maybe, to be meandering through someone else's living space, but it's decidedly stranger to be doing so to visit someone. The only friends they'd ever really had had been each other, Chibita, and the bizarre gaggle of neighbors that had somehow never quite left since their childhood, so having someone classifiable as a friend was still a bizarre concept to Ichimatsu.]

[With Reaper, though, he didn't mind it. It was unspoken, with them, there were no expectations, they could just tolerate one another and commiserate about everyone else they couldn't. It was maybe the only positive thing he'd gained from his time on the Eluvio.]

[He traipsed through the communal housing and out to the balcony as told, slinking like a cat until he spots Gabriel, at which point he merely slinks slightly faster, and nods his head when waved to. He climbs into the lounge and steps out of his sandals, drawing his knees to his chest and folding his arms over them. He peruses the bag of food, but doesn't claim anything just yet, looking up and cracking a sideways grin.]


Yeah, weird little guy with messy hair. Seems to be sitting right across from you now, you should totally shoot him.

[Only if this is, also.]

[And really, maybe that was exactly why they were friends. Friend was a difficult word, neither of them wanted to talk about it, neither of them were really socially graceful in any respect, and that was honestly just fine. Probably, even, one of the only things that was honestly fine with them both.]

[He chuffs his own snort of a laugh in return, shrugging his shoulders and reaching out to grab something from the bag. He's not entirely sure what the fruit is that he's picked up, and he turns it over in his hand a few times, still grinning.]


Eh, let's not take the chance. I'm not here for "might kill you"s.

[He offers another laugh, sounding reasonably sincerely amused for a moment, if in that bizarrely hateful way he does everything that makes you wonder how sincere anything he ever does is. As soon as Karamatsu comes up, his eyes make a valiant attempt at rolling back in his head and he grumbles, setting the fruit he'd picked up back down and looking the other way, burrowing into his arms.]

Not that I liked babysitting, but it's fucking unfortunate.

[He grumbles.]

That's a tall order. [And an even taller one for him to admit.]

[He rolls his eyes and makes a frustrated groan of a sound nearly immediately.]

That is not a fair comparison.
ichimyatsu: (089)

[personal profile] ichimyatsu 2017-07-18 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
Briefly. He bounced back and forth like a ping pong ball from what seemed like innocently offensive comments to straight up acting like he knew me. I'd say more than half-cocked he's half-cooked.

[He sprawls backward in his chair, stretching his arms out above him like a cat.]

[His scrunches his nose and squints his eyes nearly closed, looking overall quite thoroughly displeased, and curls back in on himself on the lounge.]

You say "brat" like he's a kid; he's probably my age, even if he doesn't act it.
ichimyatsu: (029)

[personal profile] ichimyatsu 2017-07-22 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
[He snorts a laugh, rolling his eyes just a touch.]

Well gee, maybe stop being so cool or something. He probably gets off on the fact that you're stoic and uninterested. Seems the type.
ichimyatsu: (098)

[personal profile] ichimyatsu 2017-07-26 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
[He snorts his way into laughter, the sound a bit unhinged, and he laces his fingers together atop his knees, hugging them to himself in a picture of gleeful sadism.]

I don't really figure he's worth it, and he'd probably also get off on you trying. So all around a bad idea.

[A beat.]

...could you teach me how to shoot sometime?

[Well that was a topic changer.]

[personal profile] ichimyatsu 2017-07-28 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
[He hums in thought, shrugging his shoulders and reaching out to pull his knees closer to himself again.]

I dunno, something an idiot with no experience can figure out, probably.

[Ichimatsu sits up, unsure if he ought to be following or not, and folds his legs underneath him like he plans to just as Reaper returns. He wasn't actively expecting to be handed a gun like that, but he reaches out to carefully take it. It's... heavier, maybe, than he was expecting, and he keeps his finger away from the trigger for the time being.]

...ah, dunno that I'll keep it under my pillow, Karamatsu lives with me now. He'd be liable to shoot himself on accident. Or shoot me.
ichimyatsu: (092)

[personal profile] ichimyatsu 2017-07-30 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[He nods, turning it over in his hands and inspecting it, running his fingers over it. It's clear he's not real sure what to do with it, but he appreciates it all the same.]

I hope you're prepared to teach an idiot. I don't know anything about combat or guns, outside of reading some books.
ichimyatsu: (091)

[personal profile] ichimyatsu 2017-08-01 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Things he was not expecting: that. He flinches, and looks more than a little affronted, but as a whole doesn't seem entirely bothered by the gesture. Okay, he had a point. He hadn't intended it that way, but that did kind of undermine Reaper's ability to train him. He quirks his mouth, nodding slowly and then ducking his head a little farther in a sheepish bow.]

Right. My bad.
ichimyatsu: (023)

[personal profile] ichimyatsu 2017-08-11 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[No apologies needed. If there's one good thing about Ichimatsu, it's that he's pretty good at taking straightforward criticism. He already thinks he's worthless garbage, if somebody gives him an actual point of specific trouble it really just gives him something to pinpoint. He swipes his hair back into its previous messy state (which, really, is not different than the shift Reaper's hand caused, but you know how cats are about their fur being ruffled), and then frowns at his hand.]

Again? What are you, some kind of vigilante? The hero we need, but not the one we deserve or some shit? [Ichimatsu when the fuck did you read Batman.]
ichimyatsu: (179)

[personal profile] ichimyatsu 2017-08-12 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
It was a Batman joke, heroes are for TV shows and Karamatsu's dreams.

[He stretches a little, rolling his shoulders and setting the gun he was handed aside carefully, leaning back on his hands.]

I hope you're not expecting that to make me afraid of you.
ichimyatsu: (007)

[personal profile] ichimyatsu 2017-08-13 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
I mean I was born in the sixties, even if somehow there's a weird gap where we aren't actually as old as we should be in the current year. Don't ask me how it works. [Gag anime physics, man.]

Not in the least.
ichimyatsu: (029)

[personal profile] ichimyatsu 2017-08-23 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
[He snorts, raising an eyebrow.]

Well I mean, that mask makes you look like a teenager who wants it to be Halloween every day, so I couldn't really say if I'm older than you or not. [Ichimatsu you gon' get hit.]
ichimyatsu: (pic#10396993)

[personal profile] ichimyatsu 2017-08-24 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Well at least he's not reacting poorly to the mask removal. He tilts his head a little, frowning, and then sits forward from his hands and actually stands up-- it really doesn't make him very much taller, but he stands on his toes to try and get a better look at the rot marring Gabe's features. He nods, setting back on his heels, and slips his hands into his pockets.]

I mean, I really had no way of knowing. Only other time I've seen you without that weird stuff was going on and you looked different. I'm 24, if it helps.
ichimyatsu: (007)

[personal profile] ichimyatsu 2017-08-24 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
[His stumpy little eyebrows raise toward his hairline and he nods, frowning in an odd sort of appraisal.]

You look pretty good for 56, even with the spooky aesthetic. And yeah. I actually missed my own 24th birthday.
ichimyatsu: (Default)

[personal profile] ichimyatsu 2017-08-26 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
That'd explain it.

[Ichimatsu frowns, rolling his eyes.]

I said I missed my birthday, I didn't say I wanted a party. It's just age, I just wasn't here on the date so it was weird to still think I was 23.
ichimyatsu: (060)

[personal profile] ichimyatsu 2017-08-28 07:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Rotty Grandpa knows how to joke? Nnnahhh. Ichimatsu shrugs and curls back away, stretching his feet out straight in front of him when he sits back down.]

Yeah but usually younger doesn't mean smarter, either.
