fifth trick

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

[Ikki is annoyed, but for now, he's willing to swallow it and instead try to sort out who speaks what of his acquaintances. He starts in Tibetan.]

Hey, does anyone know what's going on yet? Talked to the Twins or anything? Amaterasu is making some kind of language compatibility list, and until we know what the hell is going on, she'd be best to talk to.

[He pauses, then looks around and repeats the same thing in Gallifreyan, before muttering to himself in it.]

Goddamn, this is so annoying. Kazu thinks I've lost it, but he seems to get what I'm saying, even though I sound like the star of some crappy kung fu movie.

[in Gallifreyan]

Oh, that's just wrong.

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

[!!!]

... What's wrong? [crosses arms]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[and no, he can't understand you, Ikki! he just knows his language is being spoken and is doing a "D:" face] Honestly! Couldn't it have given us our first language at least instead of mixing up everything?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

You're speaking Gallifreyan, but it's all wrong. It's disgusting and base and just... ew.

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

[Ikki shrugs helplessly, and in Tibetan instead:] Sorry, man.

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

Well, excuse me, Suit Guy, but maybe I can't speak my own damn language anymore. Like most of the people here. If you don't want to hear people abusing your language, then go do something about it.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Well, I suppose I could kill you.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[sighs and waves his hand, just nodding] I know. [in japanese] Is this one your's?

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

... [a beat, and then he raises his eyebrows] That's a stupid reason to kill somebody. [DANGER SENSES GOING OFF]

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

No, it's a stupid excuse. The reason would be that I have a whim and you're annoying me.

The thing you should know about the language you're speaking? Time Lords use it. Time Lords are either boring or insane.

I'm not one of the boring ones.

[Ikki nods, then his shoulders slump a bit. A baby crow pops its head out of his hair... and makes a bunch of noisy cawwws.] Not helping. [swats at it]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[and the Doctor is taken off guard by a random crow, which he raises an eyebrow at] Erm, also your's? [points at it]

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

[This guy is really pissing Ikki off, but from the way he's being spoken to, it might be a good idea to assess the situation before jumping into a fight like that. Ikki is no stranger to normal looking people who can kick his ass; his archenemy, Sora, is a fucking paraplegic who decided to steal his Regalia one day and kill his best friend's mentor.

So... average-looking businessman guy being able to crush him? Not so unbelievable. Ikki gives him a measured glare.]

My apologies.

[It's strained. Ikki fails at being typical and formal and Japanese.]

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

...Well! Not half-bad.

[applauds, grinning]

No, really. Reigning in that obvious anger? I would've thought you'd've lashed out. But you didn't. It's impressive.

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

[Ikki grins sheepishly and shoves the crow back down into his unruly hair.] Sorry about that.

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

I'm not some kind of dog.

[He's debating cursing out the Master in Tibetan, but if he understands that, Ikki is probably fucked.]

Who are you?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[smiles a bit] Does he live there? --Erm, right! [digs out his pad of paper and pen and draws a house, shows it to him, then points at Ikki's hair]

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

The Master. And your name?

ROFL HTML WENT BOOM.

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

[Ikki looks away for a moment but only to hide his initial reaction of FUCK. Agito would be kicking him in the nads if he saw him talking to one of these guys. They're bad news, always. Ikki... is a little afraid, yeah, but he knows it'll turn into exhilaration at the first opportunity. He can already feel it.]

... Heh. [When he meets the Master's gaze again, he's smiling, something unbreakable and defiant in his eyes always.] Ikki Minami.

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

[headtilt... then... YAY PICTIONARY. Ikki nods, then holds his hands out for the pen and paper.]

HTML IS FOR LOSERS

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Now that's an interesting change in demeanor, Ikki Minami.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[beams and holds out the pad and pen for him]

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

What are you, a psychiatrist?

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

[Ikki sticks his tongue out of the corner of his mouth as he doodles a stick figure with really bad hair (him, obviously) on rollerskates with a bunch of bird-shaped v's following him. Then he offers it back to Ten.]

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

No; psychiatry is not a gentlemanly practice.
