jae-ha,
sousei abe

Who: dumb ponytails aka sousei

defeets
When: IC: 12/19 | OOC: 4/12
Where: ViViD
What: They definitely did not sign up for co-op gaming.
Rating/Warning: There's porn in here. No really.

[There is something really satisfying about ViViD. Even if Sousei doesn't trust it, it's nonetheless undoubtedly a good way to practice and get stronger. He won't ever pass up ways to grow more skilled, and it's in ViViD that he can practice using his aura like Yang had taught him, as well.

Tenka's busy at work, and so Sousei is here alone this time--but nonetheless he's making solid progress, battling his way through a number of monsters. They get stronger and stronger as he goes, but even so, they're hardly a threat.

Besides, the extra monetary gains are hardly anything to sniff at, even if he and Tenka don't need them. But now with Soramaru gone, Sousei certainly feels the need to work off some of his extra frustration. If this world would stop taking away his protege, he would really appreciate it.

A giant bear roars its displeasure, and Sousei ducks under its claws, rapidly moving to draw his sword then, and moving to neatly impale the creature--]

[such ew. Jae-ha watches Sousei walk a couple paces, evaluating his stride and..... god.

Cue one jump that sends him neatly next to Sousei in one stride before he places a hand on the other man's shoulder.]

You want to get this done quickly, right?

[oh my god!!! stop touching him!!!

Sousei eyebrows do furrow at that, eyes narrowing, and he glances over at Jae-ha sharply.]

I said it before. If you have some other means of getting there more quickly, then say so. Stop playing around.

[and wasting time......]

Well.... just remember that you asked me for this.

[he says

before he easily picks up sousei in a princess carry in one swift movement

(no he's not making any concessions for sousei's pride)

and with one bend of his leg then he's UP INTO THE SKY, GOODBYE GROUND

thank you for choosing to fly ryokuryuu airlines]

[what the fuck

Sousei was expecting many things, but he was definitely not expecting that. And it's irritating that Jae-ha can pick him up in a princess carry so simply, like, it's not his fault that Jae-ha is some ridiculous giant--

And then they're flying.

Great.

Wonderful.

He crosses his arms and looks immensely sour, because it's not like he can't do much while they're in the air.

Asshole.]

[Flying is wonderful, you fucker.

.... though admittedly Jae-ha is probably doing no favors for himself since as soon as he sees Sousei's Incredibly Sour Expression, he's really just cracking up. Even as it takes no more than two hops for them to end up landing in the middle of town.

Then he's setting Sousei right on his feet before slapping his own knee as he continues to completely lose his shit.]

Ahahahaha!!

You really hate fun! I knew it! I called it!

Edited 2015-04-20 16:46 (UTC)

[Oh my god he has so much distaste for you right now.

Sousei straightens his clothing sourly, staring at Jae-ha before abruptly turning away.]

Let's get this over with.

[........ ... .... FOR THE RECORD--]

Nobody would enjoy being surprised in such a way. [yeah even if he didn't look surprised he was definitely shocked.]

[Jae-ha's still laughing even as he wipes his eyes from laughing so hard--]

Stop asking for immediate results if you don't actually want them.

[To be honest.

Anyway, he's back to looking around the town-]

Well then, time to ask around about dragon lore, I suppose.

[yeah......... he supposes that much is true. He did ask for immediate results. And he did get them.

....

RIGHT, DRAGON LORE.]

I will cover one half of the town, then. [It doesn't look....that big.

he turns on his heel to pick one said half. And. Stiffly, without looking back--]

Your method of getting here was prompt, as you said.

[congrats. okay now he's going--]

Meet back in an hour.

[That said......

. . . . . . ??????]

Why do you think your opinion is so important......

[JAE-HA DOESN'T GET IT.

His power is awesome and the most Sousei's words do is confirm that the other guy doesn't care enough to be hateful or distressed about Jea-ha's power.

But he does just murmur that to himself before turning on his heel and jumping over to the other, far end of the town. Yeah, he's going to start with the sketchy areas first. After all, that's where he fits in best.]

[And Sousei covers the other areas--and at the very least, he's not terrible at it. An hour is a lot of time to gather information, especially in video game land, which is way simpler, he's finding, than real life. So Sousei simply questions people, gathers information, and explores the town.

It really isn't that big, and it's not particularly Japanese in make-up--but that's probably for the better.

No nostalgia here.

Nonetheless, in an hour promptly, Sousei will be back where they started, arms crossed and thoughtful.

This is a stupid quest. But at least he knows where the book is.......and about the dragon guarding it.

(Really? A dragon?)]

[It's a really, really stupid quest. Jae-ha goes through the motions and finds that the dragon even isn't a particularly difficult boss to fight. Just defeat it like you would any other monster in this world.

He knows where the book is, he knows more about the dragon. The 'dragonborn' bit is explained to him a bit more and--

Well, he has that covered too.

So within that hour, Jae-ha is easily landing next to Sousei again, landing lightly on his feet and flipping his ponytail over his shoulder.

He also smells vaguely like women's perfume.]

Shall we be off then?

[He'll assume that Sousei was as productive as he was. Not like it's hard here. And the other guy has at least made it clear how much he prefer things be prompt.]

[It's a safe assumption--and likewise, Jae-ha has at least proven not to be dead weight (the opposite, really, even if Sousei loathes to admit it), so he doesn't bother to question him on that either.]

Yes.

[He's also not going to question why Jae-ha smells like PERFUME WHATEVER IT'S NOTHING HE WANTS TO KNOW HE'S NOT GOING TO ASK--]

So even when you are gathering information, you play around as well.

[dammit]

[you're curious about him, aren't you

ah yes the plight of the beautiful Ryokuryuu]

The one commonality between myself and thugs is that we both admire beauty. As such, the ladies of any town are always wealthy with information as well as charm.

[and Jae-ha has an intense respect for them - even as they draw him in like a moth to a flame and rob him blind.

Regardless, he'll be at least marginally more thoughtful now as he slips an arm around Sousei's abdomen and proceeds to lift right off of the ground with a kick of his right foot, headed in the direction of the dragon cave.]

[He may have been a little curious.

But now he is not so curious UGH....he really doesn't like physical touch, especially from strangers; it's weird and uncomfortable, and Jae-ha's arm around him is nothing like Tenka's arm slung around his shoulder.

He's tense from the moment Jae-ha is that close, honestly, even if he knows this is about as necessary as it gets to get this over and done with promptly.

It doesn't mean he has to like it. But he bites his tongue and says nothing until they've made it to right outside of the cave, and then all he says is--]

All we are searching for is that book.

[nothing else.

no shinies, rogue.]

Would I be looking for something else?

[These are virtual shinies that he can't even bring out with him, Sousei, what the fuck.

Either way, Jae-ha looks appropriately amused. Oho, are you misreading him, captain? Pirate maybe but he's certainly not interested in treasure.

He'll let go of Sousei as soon as he can and then also look at the mouth of the cave, setting his hands on his hips.]

So let me get this straight--

I'd be able to walk into this but you can't?

[did he mention he's a dragon]

[Yeah, he may be misunderstanding Jae-ha again. Then again, it's not like Jae-ha is making this easy.

Either way, for now he just crosses his arms, narrowing his eyes. And--]

So you are Dragonborn in some way, or enough that you are counted as such by this game.

[Idly, Sousei walks to the mouth of the cave and puts out a hand.

Yeah that's...sure a barrier there. Weird, man. He's not too surprised, though--Jae-ha has already shown how weird he is.]

[Misunderstandings and Jae-ha do seem to go hand in hand.

Speaking of going hand in hand, Jae-ha's going to easily walk backwards right into the barrier, feeling absolutely no resistance whatsoever, and then moving to grab Sousei's wrist and tug to see if he can pull him past the barrier.]

Not just Dragonborn.

The Green Dragon.

[Well, he's at least comfortable enough with Sousei to show his true scales.

..... also it really is just sort of in his nature to be flashy and dramatic.]

[Okay so that's all very well and interesting and all--

But.

Jae-ha grabs Sousei's wrist and tugs him to try to pull him through the barrier, and Sousei wasn't ready for it. Usually he has enough balance, but that tug pulls him slightly off balance, and he was already close to that barrier--

So the tug drags him right into it.

Face first.

And the barrier doesn't seem to be yielding for Sousei.

Thanks.]

[ . . . . .

that's really funny.

It's so funny and Jae-ha can at least admit that it's funny judging by the way that he's going to the cavern wall and howling with laughter and he's hitting the wall with his fist like.]

Hahahahahaha!!

[OW.

GOD.

Sousei stumbles back, a hand pressed to his face. and just. scowls. UGH.]

Shut up.

No.

[an immediate answer

And then he's still laughing faintly himself, shoulders shaking with mirth as he wanders back approximately to where the barrier is for Sousei. Sticks his arm out. In. Sticks his leg out. In.

(Do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around--)]

Huh. I knew being a dragon had perks but I didn't know restricted access into spooky caves counted.

[Still though, he extends his hand again-]

Wanna have another try or would you like a lock of my hair?

[Asshole!!!

Sousei just crosses his arms, arching an eyebrow. A lock of hair.........]

I suppose it is worth a try.

[Not that he really wants a lock of Jae-ha's lurid hair, but they're wasting time here.]

[And with another flick of his wrist, there is definitely a blade suddenly settled between Jae-ha's fingers. He brings his ponytail around and examines the end of it before snipping off a small lock.

Certainly he is vain but at least this won't extend into the real world, right?

He opens his coat then and manages to pull out a small piece of yarn to neatly tie the lock of hair together so Sousei doesn't have to deal with random strands of dragon hair.

Then he drops it right into Sousei's palm.]

A token from the Green Dragon. Cherish it for the rest of your time here. Look upon it and remember me fondly.

[he's just full of jokes]

[Sousei's fingers wrap around that lock of hair reluctantly, but either way, with that in hand when he presses his hand forward--it goes through the barrier.

Thank god they didn't need to do any worse than that.

He walks the rest of the way then, arching an eyebrow at Jae-ha.]

"Green Dragon"? [now that he's here, he'll properly ask.

like

you don't look very draconian.]

[hey sousei they totally could've had to swap saliva and lock lips who would that make you feel

Still though, Jae-ha has no issue with turning on his heel and walking forward. Have some really sparse explanation:]

The Legend of the Four Dragons, descendants of warrior men who drank the blood of dragons to protect their king. Each dragon has a specific skill that is meant to serve King Hiryuu well whenever he may be reincarnated again. You must love and serve, blah blah blah.

[Tch.]

So essentially a curse with some mild perks. Apparently I count as Dragonborn. How nice.

[SO DRY]
