post-trial garbage feelings

[ballisdeath]

[ The campfire is still roaring. S'mores supplies are hanging around the area. There's still a faint scent of copper on the air, for those who can really recognize it.

Leon is leaning against Mami on one of the logs around the fire. He's been acting like he's uncaring-- and a lot of it stems from bitterness that this happened to him and he had to watch it AGAIN. But he's calmed down now. He actually looks rather peaceful, if a bit weathered.

There's also now a pizza sitting on another nearby seat. It's cheese and a little cold. ]

Spell didn't work. Delivery man practically blinked out of existence. I thought I'd try since... look at all of us now.

[ That's all he murmurs. Join the campfire? ]

[ When he sees the word tag, he reaches to touch something that should be around his neck, but it's not there. ]

It reminds me of knowing tags, yo

[ Starts writing the info down like it's normal. ]

[seekingsunrise]

Knowing tags?

Is it the same kind of idea?

[linearcrash]

Yeah, pretty much. They also let us know who died.

[ He has to scratch his head at where he's from... hmm ]

[seekingsunrise]

Good... that's good.

[He sets a hand on Nine's shoulder, flashing him a weak smile.]

If you don't know something it's okay. We'll do what we can. They have to have documentation on where they brought us from.

[linearcrash]

[ At that, he'll just put can't remember.

Then he'll get to his country and world. ]

Maybe we should try carving some of the names in places.

[ Leave clues in case theres another batch after they get out of there. ]

How's your burns, yo?

[seekingsunrise]

The blisters are gone, at least.

[He has Mitsuru to thank for that.]

That's... not a bad idea. But where could we put it that they wouldn't just sand it off for the next group of campers?

[linearcrash]

[ He almost wants to poke again, but manages to refrain from doing it.

Leaving the sun topic alone as he starts writing out eleven names for next of kin. ]

Maybe we can find a loose floor board? Put it on the underside, yo.

[seekingsunrise]

[If you really wanna play with his sunburn, Nine, he's not wearing a shirt under the blanket. Too many seams rubbing at sensitive skin. ]

That's a possibility. I'd prefer somewhere in the bathrooms than the cabins. Somewhere more people would be able to find it.

[linearcrash]

[ Maybe after the third date ] Think they would check the back of the stall doors? [ Gotta think not like an adult. He finishes it up and gives it a look over before handing it back over. ]

[seekingsunrise]

[Well then~ How is it Nine is the only one he's not hugging on?]

Definitely. But perhaps the ceiling?

[linearcrash]

[ If he wants an excuse ]

I could give you a boost up, yo.

[ He has stamina and strength \o/ also a few inches on him ]

[seekingsunrise]

I'm not light. [But he's laughing softly as he says it, more relaxed than he has been since everything went to shit. Thanks, Nine.]

But that could work. Hmm at least leave names and... if we eventually figure out what's really happening here.

[linearcrash]

[ Looking him over. ]

I can handle it. Don't mean to brag or anything, but I'm one of the strongest in my class, yo.

[ Might be bragging just a little. ]

[seekingsunrise]

If you honestly think you can carry my weight that easily...

[He's a little doubtful. Sorry dude. He's used to people like Gladio.]

[linearcrash]

[ Unlike other strong dudes, he can do it while keeping his shirt on \o/ ]

You don't sound like you believe me. [ :( ]

[seekingsunrise]

[Well at least he keeps his shirt on. But does he have badass tatts?]

Maybe..? Sorry, I'm used to uh... people considerably bigger than you.

[linearcrash]

[ No tats. He would get so much shit from his other siblings if he did. ]

You'll just have to wait and see, yo. I'll show you. [ He'll show him \o/ ]

[seekingsunrise]

Okay. Guess you'll just have to prove me wrong.

[It's light and teasing and once the words leave his mouth he ducks his head a little, belatedly realizing how uh... potentially flirtatious that sounded.]

[linearcrash]

[ He's good with a little flirting. ]

I'll pick you up then.

[ Well, literally picking up but he'll grin because of the other possible meaning too. ]

[seekingsunrise]

[He smiles at that, shy but pleased.]

Probably best to do this when the counselors aren't around.

[Oh gods that sounds worse.]

[linearcrash]

[ He'll laugh at that ]

Hey, I don't look like it, but I'm very good at sneaking.

[ They could also test to see if they have eyes every where. ]

[seekingsunrise]

[That's a good idea. Do a little writing when they know no one is there to see what gets addressed and what doesn't. That insistence gets a smile though.]

Oh are you?

We should test that sometime... we should spar sometime.

[linearcrash]

[ That gets something like excitement in his eyes ]

Hell yeah, yo. Just tell me when and where. [ A pause. Wait... ]

Or maybe I'll surprise you.

[seekingsunrise]

You think you can get the drop on me?

[He smiles, matching that excitement, nudging him lightly with an elbow.]

You're on~

[linearcrash]

I know I can.

[ Still pretty confident. Giving a nudge back in return.]
