☆6 [ Voice | Action for House 10 ]

[skaterbrain]

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 ]

You're making me sound like a really bad teacher, you know.

[Ginia considers his words, pen tapping against her journal.]

If you've been around this run, then maybe it's time to find a new track.

I'll be back, guys, I'm going to see if I can find something at the library.

[Oshi-- Beat stops and looks up at Shiki, actually really sorry for that. He wasn't thinking.] ...Sorry, Shiki. You ain't a bad teacher. ...'m just not a good student.

[Whoops and now Ginia is leaving.]

---!! Uh...aight. See ya, G.

[Both!] [Voice/Written]

[so_shik]

A--bye, Ginia.

[A pause, and then she looks at Beat.]

You've gotta stop telling yourself that. Seriously.

[While Shiki and Beat continue their conversation, Ginia runs toward the library. Nice thing about living north of the village is everything is minutes away. She'll take time looking through the shelves, really searching hard, until, aha! Success. A few books and magazines in tow, she'll head over to House 10 and knock on the door.]

[skaterbrain]

Look, Shiki, I get what you tryin' to do, but I'm tryin' my best here, aight? It just ain't as much as other people want of me...

[Both!] [Action]

[so_shik]

I know, I know...we'll just have to be patient a--[And she hears that knock.] Hang on a second. [And she's going to go answer the door!]

[Both!] [Action]

[Ginia waits patiently for someone to answer the door, grinning when it opens. Her necklace tucked away in her pocket, she simply grins and holds up a skateboarding magazine she'd found at the library. Good plan, yes?]
