seventh trick (or lack thereof)

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

[Ikki is limping, occasionally crawling toward Amaterasu's forest, clutching his thigh, which is bleeding pretty profusely from a sword stabbing. He really SHOULD pop off the plane and get himself to a hospital, but then people might start asking questions and&mdash this is a Parts War, after all, he can't just give up—

—unless of course he falls. It's becoming increasingly difficult to move and all. He staggers to his feet once more.]

Damn... cheating bastards...

[ooc: Sorry for the spam, but bleeding takes priority.]

That shouldn't matter, you're still— ... ah? What is it?

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

[Ikki pauses, then spits more blood. Ew.] You still think I'm a genius... right?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Grimaces a bit and focuses mostly on the bandaging.] Why wouldn't I?

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

Just checkin'. [wince] Shit, man... I gotta go back... Agito's by himself. [He's in no condition to go anywhere, but he tries to move anyway.]

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[And this would be Ryotarou placing his hands on Ikki's chest and keeping him on the ground.] No! ... You're too hurt to go back now. Where is Agito-san? I can help instead.

[Okay, fine, you win this time.] ... It's a Parts War. If you can't use A-Ts, you'll get your ass kicked.

[Good. Goes back to finishing the bandaging and clean-up.] How do you mean?

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

I mean, this guy... is flying, really fast, he's got ... wind shit, like I do, and.. fuck, that sword is annoying.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

I think I could handle it... I could get his sword away from him, at least. I've done it before.

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

This is a Storm Rider fight... If anyone but me goes back, he'll get pissed off.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

You're in no condition to go back like this. But... he still needs to be stopped.

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

Agito can do some damage... but I still want to help him. We're a team...

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

Then don't drag him down. You're injured, and you definitely can't skate like this... You'd just be a burden right now.

[Keyword: burden.]

Damn it. This is so goddamn stupid. [He's hiding his face in his hand.]

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[It works for Sakurai, too.]

It is, Ikki-san... But you have to let Agito-san handle it, right? [Shakes his head. It seems kind of pointless to him for someone to have gotten so injured over a race, and that things might just be escalating. But it seems more important that he keep Ikki from hurting himself more right now.]

[Must be a shounen hero thing.]

... Ugh. Yeah... I guess... damn it. Maybe I'll just... lay here for a bit... y'know.
