☆7 [action] starting at House 10, ending up all over Luceti

[skaterbrain]

[Since people are out and about, Beat's been skateboarding a lot more, but... Well, he does feel a little bad that he basically skipped town on Shiki's lesson and then had Roy wheelbarrow him out of there. To make up for it today, he's sitting in his room and reading. Or trying to. The journal just might pick him up as he tries his best.]

..."My hat is"...goh-neh? What? Uh...Goon?

...

"Gone. My hat is gone. I want it back."

...The hell?

...Uh. Aight.

"Have you..." ...uh...

...Dammit.

[OOC: Beat is going to be chased around Luceti looking for a place to read in peace. Feel free to have him show up anywhere including in your kitchen for who knows what reason. o/]

[Hello strange person sitting outside her house and reading stuff. What a strange place to read... Not that Yotsuba minds at all given she recognises that book.

Poking her head out of one of the windows and asking Beat in the most 'hello I am a bear and I have lost my hat' tone of voice she can muster:]

"Have you seen my hat?"

[skaterbrain]

Oh. Have you seen--

[Wait. Beat turns his head and looks over, seeing a little green haired girl next to him. ]

...

...

...

AAAAAAAAH!

[He flips the book off his lap and into a nearby bush.]

Where the hell you come from?!

[Action]

[After working herself to exhaustion the week before and the bruising from her fall the week before that, Adele has attempted to take at least one day for herself a week. She sleeps in, wanders downstairs to the kitchen of house 44 and...blinks at a young man reading at the table. A young, not altogether unfamiliar man.]

...Beat?

[Action]

[skaterbrain]

BWAAAAAAAAAAH!

[Hearing someone call his name makes him jump and him jumping means he throws the book straight up into the air. It smacks against the ceiling, bounces off and lands somewhere behind him as he looks up to see Adele.]

....Huh? Whatchu doin' here?

[Action]

[mischiefbreeder]

[Gold was heading out of House 11 for another day of excitement and fun. Today was going to be just great.

What he didn't expect, however, was to encounter Beat sitting on his doorstep, reading. Seriously, didn't see him at all, which is why he trips and tumbles right over him.]

Guwaah!

[Action]

[skaterbrain]

Tha hell--?!

[Bang boom pow and they are both on the ground at the bottom of the steps. Ouch. Thanks, bro. Now he lost his place in the book - wherever said book has flown off to.]

Nngh... the hell hit me.....

[Action]

[imxperfectlife]

[Beat, why are you sitting at the back of the Seventh Heaven as if you're trying to hide while reading. Luka blinks at the scene she finds when looking through the back window of the restaurant and slowly makes her way out to kneel besides him and watch him read attentively. She is currently working but things are calm yet so she thinks she can take a small break for this.]

[Action]

[skaterbrain]

[Absorbed in his book, Beat does not notice Luka as she creepers comes over and and kneels down next to him. He's trying to figure out this word. It is taking him forever. Oh my God, why is reading so hard. Hnnnnnngh.]

....se-eh-nuh? ...see-nuh? ....The hell is this thing...

[so_shik]

[Oh, she heard what he's doing. But she's not going to say anything over the journal. In fact, she's just going to sneak up the stairs and creep over to Beat's bedroom door, prodding it open a little bit.]

...you're reading?

[skaterbrain]

[OH GOD WHAT. He jumps and throws the book - and his journal - straight out the window.]

GAAAAAAAAAH! Don' sneak up on me like that, yo!!

[action]

[thedicearecast]

[Amelia isn't really paying attention, and misses the fact that Beat is trying to read. To her, it just looks like he's looking over the bridge railing, asking about his hat.

...Makes about as much sense as anything in Luceti does.]

Did a fish steal it?

[action]

[skaterbrain]

[He looks over the book. No...that isn't how that next line is read. I knows the word 'fish' - food is important to know - but it isn't in--

He stops and turns slowly, looking up at Amelia.]

....

!!

[And brb, throwing the book as far into the bushes on the opposite end of the river as he can.]

[action]

[necromancing]

[ Don't mind this creeper sneaking up RIGHT BEHIND YOU and leaning over your shoulder right outside the library. ] What a strange book you have there. No souls trapped within it, are there?

[ That is totally a normal question to ask. He's been meaning to look for that book for awhile but it hasn't shown up yet, oh well. He really needs it back but, well, with no such luck he might as well ask when he sees one. ]

Re: [action]

[skaterbrain]

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! [WHAT IS WITH PEOPLE SNEAKING UP ON HIM!?

Beat jumps and throws the book, this time sadly right at the stranger's face.]

Don' do that!!

[Action]

[asobouyo]

[You fool, don't stop outside of the school; that's where Elicias may dwell. Like a beautiful ninja she literally pops out of the bushes. Not that she was playing with bugs back there, noooo. Because that would just be unlady-like. Yep.]

Whatcha' doin'!

[Action]

[skaterbrain]

[Not the Wild Elicia!!

And holy crap. Beat screams and throws the book backwards over his head when someone just pops out of nowhere. The book slaps against the building and drops harmlessly to the ground.]

GAH! Why's everyone gotta keep doin' that?!

[falenanthief]

[Beat, why are you reading outside of CH4.]

Beat?

[skaterbrain]

[AUGH, throwing the book into a bush.]

H-hey, Scarves.....

action;

[dragoneer]

[Hiccup is just heading outside his house when he sees Beat going by with a book. He's seen his neighbor out before but hasn't stopped to say hello yet--and hey, a book. Seems like as good a conversation starter as any!]

Heeeey, um--what're you reading?

action;

[skaterbrain]

[AAAH! Beat jumps to the side, arms up to defend himself as if, you know, Hiccup were the type to jump him after giving away his location and all. ...Yeah.]

R-readin'? Whatchu mean readin'?

[He looks at the book in his hands, very obviously in plain sight right in front of his face.

And promptly shoves it into the closest bush.]

I ain't readin' nothin'.

[neverplaysfair]

[ ... Hello, Beat. Why are you hanging out down in the not!cafe today?

...

And that's when Joshua notices he's absorbed in the book, which clearly means it's time to have some fun with him.

He probably couldn't heat up water without Beat noticing, but he can at least teleport the tea-making supplies upstairs enough to manage to pull together some cold tea. Which means in a few minutes, there is suddenly a prettyboy standing next to Beat and holding out a tray with a pair of cups on it. ]

Tea?

1/2

[skaterbrain]

.....?

[Tea is now how you read this word. He knows that letter. It's like... T. So, uh...

Wait.

He turns and looks at the tray.

And then slowly up at the person holding it.]

[skaterbrain]

[And promptly wigs out, jumps out of his chair and throws the book behind him.]

GAH! Where you come from?!

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

... you lost your hat? What does it look like?

[Voice]

[skaterbrain]

[SCREAM WHERE DID THAT VOICE COME FR-- oh. Beat throws the book away and stares at the journal.]

.......................It's black. Wit' a skull. ....Uh. Yeah.
