Running Full Force Forward

( House 10 | action )

Rhyme's gone.

...She-- She's gone.

All Passions's closed 'til...I dunno. Sometime.

Rainbow kid, it's jus' you an' me now.

... [He tightens bruised fists around a bell charm and it rings dully.]

Beat out.

Yo, Lucetites! Name's Beat and I heard some of you got special ground powers, yeah? Well, I got an idea an' I need some help wit' it.

You guys know what a skatepark is? It's the best place on earth, and we ain't got one, but there's a ton of empty space now that some of the big apartments up and smoked themselves somehow.

So! Who wants t'help build the park? And who wants lessons on how to skateboard, 'cause there ain't no better hobby than skatin' and looks like a lotta ya'll need somethin' to keep you busy.

Oh! And Blondie!! This is me ringin' you up! Goggles, Sooks - you two still in on gettin' somethin' like this up an' runnin'?

...

And SHORTY! Did you feel it? I found yo' fancy bunny dude.

Nnnnnnngh....................................

HRAAAAAAAAH!

[The sound of wood splintering and catching on fire can be heard in the background.]

This whole thing's pissin' me off. When they gonna leave, huh?

I jus--

[Another crash and a burst of flame.]

Ugh! Aight, who wants a fight? 'Cause I gotta burn this feelin' off before I go completely nuts.

[He is not dealing with the draft announcement well. The idea of going is bad enough, but his sister going? Unforgivable. He needs a distraction like a fish needs water and he's going to do it in the only way he knows how.]

Yo, Sooks! And that weird Midguard kid - I didn't get yo' name. Uh...sorry.

But you guys said you wanna learn to skate and I'm in a skatin' mood.

Meet me at the B-Dome in twenty!

And any other dudes who wanna skate or learn ta' skate, you can come, too. B-Dome's got the boards, you just gotta bring yo' own self.

Aight, Beat out.

So it's kinda coo'. Been hearin' people comin' back an' all. Phones got his butt back in Luceti so now I get ta' punch him wheneva' I want.

But uh.........

......

Been lotsa people goin' home, too. Guess that's coo' too, but...... Well.... I've been thinkin' yanno?

......

....What do people do when they get forgot? I-I mean, peeps from Luceti don't remember this place, right? ....So what'dya do then? When you get forgot?

......


...Nngh, naw, forget it. This is dumb. This is why I ain't suppose to think.

[he flips the book against the bed and flops onto it with a heavy sigh]

Day 3 and On

Hey Luceti. Do you like sharks? Because there is now a shark with little yellow wings swimming around Luceti. Quite literally. As in, it's a shark that can swim through the ground and will occasionally pop up out of said ground and look confused. Luckily for you, Luceti, said shark also has little thought bubbles that sometimes come up. Good luck reading them, though.

: The hell's goin' on?!

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! [Some might think the sounds of a struggle were the signs of a mallynap, but they would soon realize they were wrong. Especially when Shiki's voice can be heard in the background.]

Okay, that's it! [Those familiar with Shiki might recognize this tactic as a chair scrapes across the floor and she pushes down on Beat's shoulders to sit down in it.] I just got a great idea. [And she's going to be as calm as possible as she starts happily tying him to the chair.] Since you're stuck inside because of the weather, I think now's a good time to make you focus on your reading and writing, don't you think?

N-no! Tha-- No! Why I gotta--! Hey! Lemme go! Shiki! Yo, Shi--!![Aaand now he is stuck in this chair and tied pretty well to it. It is terrifying how good she is at this, and even as Beat protests, there's little he can do to get out of it.] Come on! Lemme out!!

No way! I promise, this isn't going to hurt. [Says the girl who's busy making sure he can't escape her knots in the rope. She'll disappear briefly into the storage closet, soon coming back with what appears to be an easel and a giant pad of paper. She's going to start writing out some simple words for him first.] Besides, you need to learn this. What happens if Neku, Haruhi or I get kidnapped and come back without a voice or something? We'd have to write everything down and if you can't read it, what then? Just pay attention.

[And that attention is already dying. Beat kicks the journal lying nearby and tries desperately to get someone's attention as he whispers:] I ain't one ta' ask for help, but someone come help me out here...

[ooc; Joint post with so_shik in the red! Label your threads if you want Beat, Shiki, or a threeway with Beat and Shiki as our intrepid heroine tries to make the resident brick wall learn how to read! :D ]

[Alright, the experiment was weird, but he survived and now he has a more pressing problem. This...egg. The very egg that he's had strapped to himself in a backpack for the last month. Wtf does he do now?]

Anybody know how long it takes for babies ta' come outta eggs?

[For the action inclined, Beat's out around town, just rolling on his skateboard to avoid going to school with the egg in its backpack.]

Yo, G! You hear this, you give me a holla, aight? ....Yo' sis took my hat and I need it back.

[He grumbles about something or another and then speaks again.]

An' the rest of you! Where's a guy go to skate, huh? All these trees and stuff ain't no good for boardin' and the house ain't got the rails I need to get a good grind in. There's gotta be somewhere, yeah?

Man, don't be tellin' me there ain't no pavement here....
