ninth trick

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

[Ikki appears on the Plane with a bag slung over his shoulder. He regards his surroundings casually, then cups his mouth and starts calling out his summons.]

OOOOOOII!! PRINCESS HOMO! WE NEED TO TALK, MANO-A-HOMO! AND BY TALK I MEAN BASH YOUR FUCKING FACE IN.

[a pause]

And Agito, I stole your lunch. Get your ass over here.

Like... pulling a prank. Something to make him mess up really badly in front of his equals or superiors.

[sjdlaksjdalksdjakldjsd even the thought of that terrifies her.] Th... that's...

[ghostlighter]

[Slight.. eyebrow quirk.] That's...?

[Snuggling her violin case] It would be better just to kill him.

[ghostlighter]

... You think?

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

[Nods at her feet]

[ghostlighter]

[He's quiet for a minute.] ... Okay, then don't do that. But killing him wouldn't really solve anything, would it?

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

[Mrrt]

...it... would kill Elsa.

[ghostlighter]

... What?

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

Elsa. It...

[Kicks her shoe against the invisible ground.] When Claes lost Signore Raballo, she had to get rewritten, because she was too sad. Elsa... She doesn't like anyone. She only cares about Signore Luaro. I think she would die if he got killed.

[ghostlighter]

[He thinks about that.] Do you want Elsa to die?

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

[Shrugs, still looking at the ground.] I don't like her. She doesn't get along with Rico or Claes, and Triela hates her. She lives all by herself and doesn't have any friends.

[ghostlighter]

That's... not really enough of a reason to want her dead, though.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

[Almost mumbling] ...she thinks Signore Luaro is better than Signore Jose.

[ghostlighter]

That's natural, isn't it?

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

No. [Like she knows something about this isn't quite right, but still with a little bit of pride;] Triela says he's the nicest fratello.

[ghostlighter]

What do you mean?

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

Whenever I ask for something-- [as though Chris was about to suggest otherwise;] And I don't ask for things a lot, I promise I don't-- Signore Jose always tries to get it for me, or take me where I wanted to go. And sometimes he gives me presents 'just because'. [She learned about those kinds of presents from the Doctor!] He's very kind, and he helps me a lot during training. He's gentle and shows me what I did wrong. Signore Jean just hits Rico, and most of the time Signore Hilshire lets Triela train by herself. She says she learns better that way, but I like having Signore Jose with me.

[ghostlighter]

[All things considered...] He sounds really great.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

He is! He's the best fratello. I think I love him. I didn't know that before.

[ghostlighter]

[That actually makes him smile a little.] You think so?

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

[Nodnod] Signorina Flonne was telling me about love.

[ghostlighter]

Who?

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

Ah, she's new here too! She's very nice. I think she's a demon. She said she's from the Netherworld.

[ghostlighter]

[... opens his mouth— then shuts it. Tries again, and... shakes his head.]

A demon? Was telling you about love?
