thirty-first breath ✧ voice/action

[musubi]

Saggitarius
• The body under the couch is starting to smell.
• Quit whining about the pain, it only makes it worse for everyone else.
• Stop smoking. Or start. Whichever you're not doing.

[Isamu is sitting outside the house, a cigarette in one hand. Every so often he tilts his head to the side, as though hearing a voice that only he can hear. He didn't smoke before now, and he still doesn't really care for it, but he felt a need to start today.

His journal lies open in his lap.]

I don't know what this place wants from me sometimes. No one does, I know.

Guess it's about that time again, huh?

You say that like you obey many to begin with.

Only if they come from you or Asbel.

[Is he joking or being serious? The world may never know.]

[Action]

[ingrate.livejournal.com]

Psh. If you listened to more of our advice you'd be better off.

[Action]

[ledbythewind]

Is that so?

[And he may be putting just a tiny bit of extra pressure into his backrub right now as a sort of teasing gesture.]

[Action]

[ingrate.livejournal.com]

Nph.

Damn right it's so.

[Action]

[ledbythewind]

Then would you be so kind as to dispense me some of your sage wisdom, O Great One?

[Action]

[ingrate.livejournal.com]

You're missing the point here, man. I'm not talking about random shit I spit out on a whim.

[Action]

[ledbythewind]

Surely you have some sort of advice you can offer me.

[Action]

[ingrate.livejournal.com]

How about don't run off on your own for a while without telling a friend.

[Action]

[ledbythewind]

[He gives a soft chuckle.]

When I was a child, I used to run off to one of the castle storerooms to hide when I wanted to be alone. It looks like I haven't grown out of that quite yet, as much as I wanted to think I had.

Hey, I can understand wanting to have some privacy, I really can.

Just let us know first.

[Action]

[ledbythewind]

Is that a command?

[Action]

[ingrate.livejournal.com]

Sure as fuck is.

[Action]

[ledbythewind]

Will I be punished if I refuse to obey?

[Action]

[ingrate.livejournal.com]

Probably.

Just don't get any crazy ideas.

[Action]

[ledbythewind]

I can assure you, I don't have any.

... however, now that you mentioned it...

[Action]

[ingrate.livejournal.com]

Nope.

[Action]

[ledbythewind]

[... and that's a teasing poke right there.]

[Action]

[ingrate.livejournal.com]

[He bats at the hand.]

[ledbythewind]

[RICHARD IS UNDETERRED, TRY AGAIN.]

[Action]

[ingrate.livejournal.com]

[MORE BATTING.] Knock that off.

[Action]

[ledbythewind]

[Did you say something, Isamu?]

[ingrate.livejournal.com]

[Oh screw this. Poking back now.]

[ledbythewind]

[And that was absolutely not a squeak in response, because kings don't squeak. Ever.]

[ingrate.livejournal.com]

[Of course it wasn't.

He'll just poke some more.]
