skaterbrain | ☆6 [ Voice | Action for House 10 ]

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 ]

[He rolls his head back, sighing up at the ceiling.] I didn't, Shiki. Man, I even failed Japanese.

...and that didn't bother you?

[He wants to shrug, but he's tied up too tightly.] Why? My folks didn' care an' it wasn't so bad.

...yeah, well we care, okay? We're your friends and we want what's best for you, and right now? This is the best.

How is bein' tied to a chair the best!?

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH flailing as much as he can]

Because it means you won't run away until I'm done!

What if I gotta go to the bathroom?

Then you can go but I'm waiting outside the door for you to make sure you don't sneak off before your lesson's over.

....Man, I can't go if you outside the door. It's embarr'ssing and stuff...

It's better than having me actually in there with you, isn't it?

Dude, Shiki, that ain't right. You don't come in on a guy when he in the bathroom, aight?

[Best not to tell him just how comfortable she'd gotten with Neku...and Haruki.] Hence why I don't do it, dude. [She just grins a little.] Trust me, you'll be fine.

[He just rolls his head back again, staring up at the ceiling. This school thing is just not for him, but if Shiki wants him to do it....?]

......................................

[About two seconds later and he's snoring.]

[She was teaching him about the formation of letters and how they sound but then his snoring hits her ears.

...and there's a pause.

...followed by a yell and an incoming flying stuffed ~~pig~~ cat aimed at Beat's head.] Hey!

[BEANED right in the face. He wakes up and shouts, then the chair tips backwards and BAM he's down.]

The hell?!

[And she's not going to tip him upright until she's done talking.] I know you don't like this, but you'll thank me for this! Besides, I'm probably a lot better than your other teachers.

[He's sitting there, staring up at the ceiling and now that he's stuck on the ground, he can't go back to sleep. Auuuugh. Beat raises his head and blows the long end of his beanie out of his face.]

Yeah, least you don't throw chalk. The pig's softer.

Oh my gosh, he's not a pig! Did you hear that from Neku?

I said it was a cat, but he said it was a pig! An' Phones knows his stuff, so how'm I ta' know he ain't right?

[SHOVING MR. MEW IN HIS FACE.] Does he look like a pig?

I dunno! I ain't inta' stuffed animals and stuff!

[Even Beat can sense this is dangerous territory.]

Stuffed or not, you've gotta recognize what animals look like. We saw enough pigs in the Game, didn't we?

Heheh, yeah, I whooped their asses.

[He takes a second look at Mr. Mew, who is lying next to him on the ground.]

Guess he don't look like them.

[Shiki-1, Beat-0.] See? He's got a tail and everything. Besides, how does it make sense to name a pig Mr. Mew?

I dunno! Girls're confuzzing. They name all kinds a' things weird names. Like callin' dogs Princess an' stuff.
