a_lone_flame | [sixtieth launch -- video]

[ There seems to be loud blustery wind sounding and the shaking of windowpanes. A moment after, there's a series of cracks, growing in magnitude until a loud smashing sound resonates. Nearly gale force wind hits and there's sounds of rustling. ]

Gino, get into my room!

[ There's more rustling until they stop for the cat. He's taken shelter! But the video comes up on Kai who immediately jumps into action by trying to work through those winds. ]

[ The communicator is spun around, showing a view of Tohma who's leaning against the window, arms crossed over his chest and deep in thought. The fierce winds pick up, causing the window that he's leaning against to break, which causes him to topple over and eventually fall out of that window. ]

Tohma!

[ Kai skids to a halt, reaching an arm out to catch Tohma while he's using distributing his weight so that he doesn't end up falling himself. ]

[ There's sounds of struggling until Kai manages to save Tohma's life by dragging him in. Just as that happens, more of the windows threaten to break, and Kai takes a preemptive measure to tackle Tohma to the ground, using his body as a shield. The windows break, with glass flying everywhere. They stop breaking and it seems like there's nothing but the wind howling.

After a bit, Kai decides it's safe for now to get up. There's blood coming out of his hands due to the glass being stuck in there. He grunts, shaking his head and getting off of Tohma. ]

Tohma, are you all right?

( OOC: There's going to be a comment log following this, so if your character lives in Horton, feel free to find them! Also, this is backdated to the morning. :D )

Huh. Must have heard things.

[ Kai studies his hand again, not at all bothered at the discomfort. ]

Are you sure you're fine?

Probably.

[ Apparently Tohma needed to pay more attention to what he was saying if he was letting such casual honorifics slip out. It may have been a normal thing for people to do but... Well, Tohma didn't exactly fall into that category. ]

I am. Really. If I did call you that, I apologize. It was inappropriate of me.

Very well.

[ Kai emerges from his bedroom with Gino on his head. Why? The cat wanted to go on top of his head. ]

We should take care of the snow that got in.

[ ...Hiwatari wasn't going to reprimand him? ]

Probably. I'm not quite sure how to remove it, though....

[ Apparently not, because he's been pacified by his kitty. ]

... I've got an idea.

...What is it, Hiwatari-san?

[ This time he made sure to add the right honorific. ]

[ He takes out Dranzer, balancing the top on his finger. ]

This.

Th-The... top?

Yes. Blazing Gigus Tempest should fix this.

[ Gino jumps off of his head and he connects Dranzer to the launcher. Raising it up, he pulls the rip cord, until Dranzer spins around the room. ]

Dranzer! Blazing Gigus Tempest!

[ Now, let's see here. Kai's still chipped, so it can't make the room explode, so red feathers will do as they pick up the snow. After it's been successfully cleared, Kai calls Dranzer back to his hand, pocketing both beyblade and launcher. ]

Done.

You know... back in my world? They just... spin.

Children spin them and get bored after ten or fifteen minutes.

They should come to my world, then. Tops can do so much more than provide entertainment.

[ Yes, he takes it seriously. ]

You must find me pretty boring compared to everyone else... It seems the majority of you come from worlds were magic and other oddities exist.

Not exactly.

Not exactly?

That's what I said, isn't it?

...Ah. My apologies then.

[ There was the plastic smile again. ]

[...]

You really are deaf.

[ And at this point, it's obvious that it's taking a lot of willpower to keep that plastic smile on his face. ]

Well, I can't really disagree.

[ Have an irritated sigh. ]

Don't apologize for things you shouldn't apologize for. It's not going to do you any favors.

Mm? But they're things I should be apologizing for, so....

Right. Things like you screwing up or doing someone wrong in some kind of fashion. Those things you apologize for. Something as insignificant as that? No.

If I say "I'm sorry," are you going to shoot that spinning top of yours at my head?

If it's for something stupid, yes. If it isn't, then no, I won't.

I wouldn't exactly say it's fair of you to judge what is important to me and what isn't.

Hn.
