four ☆ the world on his shoulders

[hasarrived.livejournal.com]

[Yuuto shows up on the beach looking a little dirty, but he's fine otherwise. His jacket is unzipped and the shirt he's wearing shows the outlines of a leather harness and weights beneath. He pauses to strip off his shoes so that he can jump around on the sand.

Finally, he's ready. His knuckles whiten around his quarterstaff, which has somehow managed to survive all this time (also despite getting owned by the rogue Imagin a few weeks ago). He practices a few defensive stances, then one of the attacking ones he's been taught. He goes on to attempt a few he's seen... er... felt Urataros using for some time, then steps back and leans on his staff. He needs... more. This isn't enough.

It's worth a shot.]

Aniki?


[ooc: Feel free to bother/stalk/whatever. They just got a canonbump, and Ryotarou is officially out of cards, so Yuuto has to pick up the slack now.]

[Ryotarou stands nearby, leaning against one of the large rocks that came with the sand and waves. He's not sure he can say anything; it's all up to Yuuto now, but he still feels like he should be around. Even if he isn't actually any more help.]

[She's generally been hiding from the world since the end of her experiment, and is still feeling rather tired/angry/what have you from being messed with that way.] What's bothering you, Sakurai?

[contract_star]

[Lurking. Hei has taken it upon himself to stalk both of them, now that he knows about the cards.]

[hasarrived.livejournal.com]

[When he doesn't get a response, he goes through the motions again. He doesn't seem to care Ryotarou is there. He's growing increasingly frustrated, though. Why doesn't it come easy unless the Imagin are inside of him? Damn it! But then again, that's the whole point of having the Imagin, and so ...]

Ugh.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

... You're putting too much force into it.

[hasarrived.livejournal.com]

[Yuuto is a little hesitant since she was acting really funky last time, but she's here, and he needs help. /Now./]

Teach me more.




... please.

[hasarrived.livejournal.com]

[Yuuto does not have lurking senses, so he goes through the motions again. Then he trips himself with the staff and goes flying facedown into the sand. LOL.]

[hasarrived.livejournal.com]

No I'm n—

[insert sandy explosion here, hooray for tripping himself]

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Winces a little in sympathy, then comes over and offers a hand up.] See?

[hasarrived.livejournal.com]

[Yuuto glares momentarily, then takes the proffered hand and gets up. The next ten seconds are filled with him spitting out sand and trying to shake it out of his hair.]

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Ryotarou steps back to let him do that.] I don't use staffs, so I can't really tell you much more than the fact that you're using too much force, but... I guess it's not my business anyway, is it?

[contract_star]

[Steps forward.] Ah...are you okay?

[hasarrived.livejournal.com]

[pleh pleh ew pleh]

Everything else I do is your business. There's no point in stopping now. [Harsh words, but then ...] I have to take what I can get.

[hasarrived.livejournal.com]

[He gets up and sits back on his feet, shaking a bunch of sand out of his hair, eyes, mouth.]

Ugh. I'm fine.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

... eh? You want me to keep doing this?

[contract_star]

[Considers him for a moment.] You're not doing too bad, actually. But where did you get a staff like that?

[hasarrived.livejournal.com]

You can't fight anymore, right? [He resumes a ready stance with the staff.] So if I screw this up, it's over. Until I can prove myself... [He starts going through the set again.]

[hasarrived.livejournal.com]

... Thanks. [He picks the staff up again.] A friend of mine is training me.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Takes a few more steps back to give him room.]

... like I said, I don't know how to fight with staffs.

[hasarrived.livejournal.com]

But you can tell when I'm being sloppy, right?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

Well... yes.

[contract_star]

I see. For how long? [Looks more closely at Yuuto.] Are you...wearing weights?

[hasarrived.livejournal.com]

Then that's all I need. I guess. This is stuff I should already know.

[hasarrived.livejournal.com]

A while. [Observant Hei is observant. Yuuto shifts slightly... and there's the faintest jingle.] Maybe, why?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

Why is that?
