fourteenth trick

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

[Ikki appears on the Plane without grand ceremony, without a straw stuck up his nose or any of the eccentricity and charm that accompanies his usual manner. His white shirt has smears of brown blood on it, probably from the bloody Rumble Regalia he's been clutching to himself for an hour.

He stands there motionless for a moment, then with something like a choked squeak, simply sinks where he is. Feet out, Regalia sitting in front of him, head bowed in memory to one of the first to draw out his potential.]

... damn it...

[She's quiet for a long time.] It's sad. It's sad when people die. Pino doesn't like it.

[He reaches out to pat Pino's head.]

I know. I don't like it either. That's why I gotta stop the person who's doing this.

[She watches him a moment, then smiles.] Spiky Head will do it! Because Spiky Head is awesome, right? You're like Vince.

[a soft chuckle]

T-that's right. I'm the living incarnation of awesomeness.

[usagipino]

Mm! Awesomeness! So everything will be okay, right?

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

... Yeah. Everything's gonna be okay. [He doesn't quite feel like it, but hey, headpatting the weird girl is fun.]

[usagipino]

[She tilts her head at him, recognizing that there's still sadness there, but she doesn't really know what to do about it. So she just beams.]

Oi... Pino-tan. I'll bring you a bird next time, alright?

[usagipino]

Yeah! Yeah! Pino wants to see a bird!

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

I'll see what I can do.

[usagipino]

Yay!
