013 - Cold blows the wind to my true love / And gently drops the rain

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[Aniki is carrying her glowstone and walking along the beach, a vacant look on her face.


She blows on the stone again and it brightens. She holds it up as high as she can and watches the water moving in and out of the dark.]


I think I'm beginning to miss the sun.



[[SO HERE'S ANIKI, the truth-empath. As per usual, message me with things you do/don't want her to be able to see, and--if you prefer--include in the brackets the random facts you'd like her to see about your character when she's not focusing. Of course, she doesn't realize she can do this, or why she's feeling so :| ]

I think a lot of us are, by now.

[lamb_of_gold]

At least you've your health.

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[It's almost as though there's something moving under his skin, and she has the vague idea that it should be disturbing. 'Japanese.']

I expect so.

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[Absent smile. Still watching the water.] Your mad lads still keeping you up?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

I hope it doesn't last much longer...

[lamb_of_gold]

Not lately. Unfortunately, they've wandered off, and I can't find them.

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

Mm. [Frowns a little, focusing on the lines under his skin. 'Time train--desert--Zeroliner.']

[Raised eyebrow.]

What's all this about time travel?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[Turns to look at him, thinking she should probably offer help. 'Misaki and Hei.']

Never met them, sorry.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

... Wh-what? [He definitely did not say anything about time travel just now.]

[lamb_of_gold]

....You read into my thoughts, didn't you?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

Something amiss? [And there's more, almost like lines of text wrapping around under his skin, though she doesn't read so much as know what they say. 'Airi.']

And why would she forget you?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Takes a small step back, eyes going wide in something like fright.] How did you...? [Shakes his head.] It doesn't matter.

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

['Telepath.' Frown.]

Of a certainty I didn't.

[lamb_of_gold]

You just did again.

[Very deliberately thinking of Kiki. As a test.]

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

Of a certainty it does. Why are you afraid of me, lad? [Doesn't follow him, just focuses a little more on those lines. 'Sakurai.' She doesn't say anything this time.]

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Doesn't step back anymore, but he's still wary.] I'm not afraid, but... You.. shouldn't know any of this.

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[The lines are moving. She watches them with vague interest, trying to get them to take shape. 'Kiki.' She rubs one eye.]

That's why I don't take students. What are you doing?

[lamb_of_gold]

I'm doing nothing. I cannot put a thought in another's head. You're three for three well under your own power now.

[His thoughts shift, again, quite deliberately, to Jamir, hopefully disguising his thoughts of surprise and vague worry - an out-of-control telepath is rarely a good thing]

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

I'm not the one sharing, Nogami. [Locking her attention on the lines now, they almost make images, now, winding through her mind in sequence. 'Imagin, possession, the belts, the cards--']

[She's starting to wonder why she isn't reacting more to all of this.]

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

I'm not sharing anything. [But now he notices her attention is elsewhere.] ... What.. what are you looking at?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[Nope, not workin', sorry. Vaguely disinterested,]

I think something's amiss.

[lamb_of_gold]

As do I. Have you noticed anything else?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

Not entirely sure. [She's winding up every fact about the Imagin and their effect that she can find.]

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Oh, you mean the part where they possess their contractors, are trying to destroy the future and all that lovely jazz?] What does that mean? Is that how— Is that how you know these things?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

Nothing. ['Hades-Shun-the fight on the plane.]

...must say I'm glad I wasn't here for that. [Sitting down on the beach, setting the glowstone down, stretching out on the sand.] And I prefer the Black God's kindness as well.
