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 ]

[Neku heard all the racket and came down the stairs to investigate what was going on. However he wasn't really expecting... this. But at the same time, he's so not surprised. Just. What the hell you guys.]

...

PHONES! [Oh god, come here. He struggles against the ropes holding him down and tries to wave Neku over.] Phones, you gotta talk sense-makin' inta' her!

Hey, Neku! [She does not seem bothered at all by this.]

[Neku looks at Beat with pity as he walks over to them. I'm so sorry, bro. Just hang on, maybe he can get out out of this. Maybe.]

Do I even want to know what's going on?

She tryin' to learn me! With words. With words, man. It just ain't right.

[Can Neku see the pain in Beat's eyes? Because it's there. It's there.]

I figure winter would be a good time to teach him how to read and write better. Don't you think? I mean what if one of us suddenly can't talk?

...she might have a point there.

[Though this probably isn't the best way to make Beat learn.]

What?! No! Donchu turn on me, Phones! You my only hope for gettin' outta this!

I already told you, you're not getting out of this.

[Looking at Shiki.] I don't think this is the best way to do this, though.

It ain't! Jus' lemme out! I got stuff to do!

Okay like what? What stuff do you have to do? And Neku, this method kinda worked on you, remember?

[Aaargh why did you have to remind him of that.]

Beat isn't like me.

Stuff! Guy stu--

[Wait, what.]

...Man, Shiki, is this yo' hobby or somethin'? Tying guys ta' chairs?

I mean I wouldn't call it a hobby... [But she at least looks a little sheepish. This has happened to a few guys, yes.] And guy stuff can wait! Neku's guy stuff waits all the time!

[Yes. Yes Shiki you sort of have him whipped. orz]

...I don't think you can reason with her, man.

[Wow. Wow. Wow. Dude, Neku, she totally wears the pants in this relationship.]

.......Tha's sad, Phones. Real sad.

[SIGH. If reason won't work, then!!! Beat tries to heave out of the chair and...

Ends up tipping over to the side, hitting the ground with a thump.]

OW!

[And that's just the way she likes it, thank you 8|]

And that's what you get for making fun of him. [She looks kind of amused though.] Struggling's going to make it worse, what do I keep telling you?

Says the guy currently tied to a chair by her.

[Seriously dude, Shiki is like 80lbs soaking wet and you're a damn moose YOU HAVE NO ROOM TO TALK.]

[But she ties the knots really hard okay? 8(

Although now he's really wishing his hands would just fade in and out like they do sometimes. Sadly, it is not happening.]

Why this gotta happen, man......

Because this is what friendship is. Sorry.

It's for your own benefit. What are you going to do later down the line if you need a job?

You ain't gotta read nothin' to be a skater....

[But the friendship thing.... He sighs and gives up. They are just trying to do what's best for him - even if it's not what he wants.]

Nngh, one hour, yo. I'll do this for one hour. Then you gotta let me up or I'm gonna go crazy.

You can't skate forever, right? It'll be okay...and you've gotta read contracts and stuff you'd have to sign if you became a famous skater or something.

That's all I ask. One hour will go by fast, you'll see.
