nineteenth breath ✧ voice/action

[musubi]

[The following conversation can be overheard on Isamu's journal, suspiciously left open next to him]

[A tired sounding voice] Oi. Naoki. Where're you going?

Huh? [Pause.] Just out for a bit. Why?

Please don't, man. My senses are starting to return to normal, but I feel like shit. I don't wanna be stuck in here on my own...

Oh...sorry. R-right. I'll stay around, then. D'you need anything...?

[...So easy, Naoki.] Yeah... Some water. No. Some tea. I'm sick of water. And... maybe a blanket.

[The sound of footsteps as he turns.] Okay, can do.

Oh, and what do we have to eat? I could go for something sweet right now.

I picked up groceries the other day--and some snacks. I'll check.

[That's your cue, guys. You know who you are.]

[Naoki will just be derping about in the kitchen, rummaging through cupboards for snacks. Oblivious. Unsuspecting. Don't mind him. They won't be getting any guests today, right? Right.]

[Action]

[ledbythewind]

[And there will be a light knock on the door just a few minutes after that "unintentional" broadcast over the journals. Richard moves fast when motivated.]

[Action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

[And this will be Isamu sneaking up to open the door quietly, letting Richard in before returning to the sofa.]

[Action]

[Rummage rummage. As yet oblivious to boyfriend's presence--he has snacks to find and tea to make and all like a good mom.]

[Action]

[ledbythewind]

[He'll just be waiting around in the living room until Naoki comes back out, then, and plotting with Isamu in the process.]

That was a very convincing performance, Sir Isamu.

[Action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

[Isamu smirks.]

Helps that I'm actually hungry.

[Action]

[denyingreasons.livejournal.com]

[La la, making tea now~ He'll be in shortly.]

[Action]

[ledbythewind]

I hope you asked him to make enough for me as well.

[Action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Well... no. But he probably will anyway.

[Action]

[denyingreasons.livejournal.com]

[Naoki wanders into the living room about now, blinks in surprise as he sees Richard. Then beams.]

Hey! I didn't hear you come in. [Setting down a cup of tea for Isamu on the table, and snacks. Naoki's good for something.] Want me to get you some tea, too?

[So unsuspecting. Look how nice he is. Don't you guys feel guilty for what you're going to do?]

[Action]

[ledbythewind]

[Richard might feel more guilty if you hadn't worried yourself sick and made HIM worry in response, Naoki. As it is, he's all smiles at the moment, the picture of innocence.]

I'm sorry; Isamu let me in just a moment ago. But I would like some tea if it isn't too much trouble for you.

[Action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

[Guilt? What emotion is this?]

We might as well just give him his own room, you know.

[Action]

[denyingreasons.livejournal.com]

[Naoki laughs and pops back out to the kitchen to get another cup of tea. Bringing it back and offering it to Richard before answering Isamu.]

Oh yeah?

[Action]

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

[Aaand there's his cue. He'll leave the box he has in his apartment for a moment, but for now? He'll be headed over to the Straw Hats' place to pick up a certain navigator. Hope Richard and Isamu can keep Naoki distracted long enough for this.]

[OOC: Also, will move this thread up there later :|d]

[Nami will be found at home. Potentially clearing her room of wreckage. We're not sure because the thread's not done yet >.>a BUT EITHER WAY, yes. Easily findable at the Straw Hat house. She'll even come to the door when you knock, Ted. Assuming you don't teleport into her bed like everyone else]

Ted! Hi.

[Action]

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

Hey, Nami! [He grins.] Think you're available today for you-know-what?

[Action] Pfft sorry. /got buried under tags 8|

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

[There'll be some brief blinking as her brain catches up - been an eventful weekend - and then Nami snickers.] Oh yeah! Make up, right? Gimme a sec. [Distractions are good - she's off to get her kit. Be right back.]

[Action] No problem o/

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

Gotcha. [Gonna wait patiently outside your window door~]

[Action]

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

[She'll only take a couple of minutes. Turning back up again with a reasonably small handheld kit - she's not one for a lot of make up, but Naoki should thank her for that. :| And she grins as she lets herslef out of the house again.] So does Naoki know this is coming?

[Action]

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

I did tell him I'd do it. [It's his fault if he believes otherwise, yup.] Though he probably doesn't realize it's happening today.

[Action]

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

All right, then. Lead the way.

[Action]

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

This way then.

Any idea how you can work with his marks?

[Action]

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

A couple. I've had to conceal my tattoo before, I may be able to do the same with his marks. [Though she's not so sure that'll work well if he, say, starts to glow. :|] Or we can just outline them in something suitably embarrassing, if all else fails.

[Action]

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

That second one works for me.

[Action]

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Right!

Who else is in on this?
