fifteenth trick

[Ikki shows up on the Plane dripping wet, red-faced, like he's been training in the rain. Which is pretty accurate, actually. He flops onto his back, arms out, and stares up at the stars and galaxies and such.]

Kururu...

[That is so damn cute.]

That's 'cause you don't look where you're going.

[Tsukasa is not known for his coordination.]

Maybe...

[He sighs, and opens his eyes to look at Ikki.]

... What's it like? To... what did you call it? Riding the wind?

[Ikki rolls onto his back and looks up at the stars.]

Everyone always asks me that. The only way to know is to try it for yourself.

But if I were to describe it... it's... freedom. Once you let go of everything that worries you down there, you can have fun up there. There's nothing like it. The wind rushing in your ears, the feeling of weightlessness and yet having a direction... It's like all your chains are being broken at the same time, and someone tossed you into the clouds.

... That sounds amazing. I wish I could try it...

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

Don't give up hope just yet.

[He chuckles and shakes his head.]

I don't think riding the wind is built into the game code.

So? A lot of things can change while you're here.

Especially if a friend gives you a ride.

... Wait, like you could come with me or I could come with you?

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

Maaaybe. That'd be hard to manage, but I can still give you a ride here. Even if there's not much to see.

[grasswavemaster.livejournal.com]

... That would be amazing. Could you? Really?

[Basically, see icon.]

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

If I couldn't, why would I say I could?

I'm a little soggy right now, though, and Sumeragi-san needs to work on my A-Ts. So remind me next time.

[grasswavemaster.livejournal.com]

Sure thing. Thanks, Ikki.

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

You're welcome, Stripes. [hairruffle]
