Who: dumb ponytails aka sousei deontology & jae-ha 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--]

[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]

[deontology]

[.... pretty gross tbh, thank god they didn't have to do that.

Nonetheless, Sousei arches an eyebrow even as he matches Jae-ha's pace, considering that. Hm..... forcible serving doesn't suit him well either........]

I see.

[it's like the sahara desert in here COULD YOU BE ANY DRYER... even so, he does feel like that last bit strikes a chord in him.]

Forcible and blind service is not service at all.

[defeets]

It's disgusting. Your own body rebels on you, telling you that you should live and die for someone you've never met.

[EVEN NOW THAT HE'S MET YONA, he hates the cycle that he's been born into.]

Even if you try to live on your own terms, the damned dragon blood tells you otherwise. [A derisive scoff.] I lack interest in being anyone's pet or attack dragon.

[deontology]

[......hm yeah that would be something he would hate too...but even so, there's still a part of Sousei that's like "okay but why are you telling me this..."

They hardly know each other.

They certainly don't like each other.

... Ah....]

It is disgusting. [at least he agrees....] Having to hope for a sensible master is a pitiful way to live life.

[wow.

the thought really does bother him, though.]

[defeets]

[Unlike Sousei, Jae-ha's an open book. He'll discuss his life policies and internal frustrations with anyone off the street.

It's easy.]

Having to wait for any master is a pitiful way to live. [fixed that 4 u] Dragons have limited years as is and some of them spend it wasting away, staring at the sky, and wondering if anyone will ever come for them.

Our powers are beautiful and they are squandered or feared.

[Though he does pause as they come up with a fork in the path.

Hm.]

Would you suppose that we can smell the dragon from here?

[deontology]

[True enough. Sousei's not particularly interested in finding a new master either. He has his country, and that's all he needs--

But for now, he focuses on their task at hand.

Talking about feelings is weird.]

I don't smell anything. [for what it's worth. Do video game Dragons even have a smell....]

If you do, we will take that path. Otherwise... [...pick at random, or split up. Those seem to be their choices.]

[defeets]

[To be honest, Jae-ha's nose is pretty great. Except as he sniffs the air, he doesn't smell anything particularly dragon-y.... So instead he just sets a hand on his hip and faces one end of the tunnel.]

Holler if you find something then?

[Easier than both of them walking toward a dead-end and hopefully if they split up, Sousei ends up going the right way so that Jae-ha can catch up faster.]

[deontology]

[...yeah. He doesn't see why not, really.

Sousei nods simply at that, and turns in the other direction, and then he starts to walk. He's...definitely not going to holler if he finds something. He doesn't like hollering--

Except as luck may have it for Jae-ha and his desire to speed things along, Sousei does end up finding something. He blinks as he keeps on going, and when there are the tell-tale sounds of something breathing, he pauses. It's...a big thing, breathing.

Hmm.......... he supposes he should let Jae-ha know.

But at the same time, it's not as if he really needs Jae-ha. One glance to determine how dangerous this is, then, first, and so carefully he edges around the corner and--

...oh.]

[defeets]

[To be fair, if Jae-ha found anything, he really wouldn't bother to let Sousei know either. Though when he comes across a wall with a crudely drawn cave painting of a giant hand giving him the middle finger, he supposes that's a fair sign that he went the wrong way.

Then it's just an annoyed snort before he's crouching on the ground and propelling himself forward to catch up with Sousei.

Which also means that he's barely stopping himself in time to end up right next to him and honestly there isn't even any sass about how Sousei tried to lone wolf this thing but rather--]

.... It's really not very beautiful, is it?

[he feels a pain in his heart]

[deontology]

[Hello.

Sousei slowly glances over at Jae-ha, and then right back at the dragon.

And slowly and deliberately--]

It appears to be a Green Dragon.

[Stealth sass.]

[defeets]

[This fucker.]

My off-beat cousin--

Is that what you're implying?

[shithead]

[deontology]

Perhaps.

[Just...saying........... he's a green dragon. you're a green dragon.

Deliberately, he looks at Jae-ha, and then makes a noncommittal noise.

There may be some resemblance--

(what a shit)]

[defeets]

[ . . . . . . . . .

Okay, despite himself, Jae-ha laughs.]

Ah.

Who would've thought that you had some sort of sense of humor?

I'm relieved though. I thought you were entirely as dull as a wooden board.

[deontology]

[Well, at least Jae-ha has a good sense of humor too. Sousei bites back a smirk, but it's a close thing--his lips might quirk vaguely despite himself.]

Think what you will.

[You can't offend him!!!

And then he turns his attention back to the dragon. Right. Okay. Book...s.....

... ... ... Ah--]

There's one. [he can't see the title from here, though.]

[defeets]

[Oho, was that a hint of amusement. Jae-ha just snorts faintly in response then before he follows Sousei's gaze and notices the book and hums.]

Well, are we going to stand around or are we going to complete a quest?

[And he flicks his wrist to put a few throwing knives in between his fingers. He's ready to move in an instant.]

[deontology]

[Well.

No need to stand around talking.

Sousei stands then, stepping out into full view of the dragon and very deliberately drawing his sword. The dragon startles, and moves towards him then, but he's unbothered; he ducks around it when it charges, and uses his momentum to clip a wing with his blade.

Yeah.

Do your thing, Jae-ha.

He's creating an opening.]

[defeets]

[Jae-ha almost feels bad for the green dragon.

Though the second that the dragon's eyes are on Sousei, Jae-ha moves without needing to be told. He leaps easily over to where the book is, now that the dragon's attention is diverted and--]

Riding the Thunder Dragon: Monster Erotica....?!

[ . . . . . . should he pocket it, should he bring it home to terrorize Ki-ja, should he.

Okay no, he's tossing it over his shoulder before leaping and landing neatly on the dragon's head before he can reoriented itself to fight Sousei again.]

Do you see another one?!

[deontology]

[Haaahhh why wasn't that the right one???

Sousei ducks around the dragon as Jae-ha lands on its head, and neatly scoops up the next book he finds--]

Animal Instincts: Sizzling Furry-- ['sex party erotica'.

what the fuck.

He tosses the book to the side, and rather sharply--]

How many unnecessary sexual novels does a dragon need, exactly? [MISTER GREEN DRAGON?? CARE TO SHED SOME LIGHT ON THIS?]

[defeets]

Don't ask me. I'm the entirely wholesome musician of my family. My mother would be so proud.

[HE SAYS SO PROUDLY even as he puts a hand over his heart and stomps firmly on the green dragon's head, letting it emit a cry before it falls to the ground and Jae-ha steps lightly off of it. At least it'll be incapacitated for a little bit.

And then he picks up another one-]

The Beast Inside: Unleashing Your Inner Sex Machine..

[ . . . . and he offers it to Sousei.]

You can take it home. I won't tell anyone.

[deontology]

[Genteelly, Sousei takes it.

And chucks it over his shoulder.]

Don't be ridiculous.

[you're not even wholesome, what are you on, bro--

But for now, he turns his attention to the books scattering the cave floor and crosses his arms. This....... is so ridiculous... what did that book's cover even look like? He hardly remembers now. Uh.......]

That one.

[On the opposite end of the cavern, but...a grey book, he thinks that's familiar.]

[defeets]

[Listen at least as far as jobs go, he's definitely the most wholesome (he's just a stripper by choice). Except he turns toward where Sousei is looking and then--

Looks back at Sousei and grins.]

You know your erotica better than I thought you would.

[deontology]

Yes.

[He's not even going to deny that, honestly--he knows his erotica better than he ever thought he would too.

But the dragon starts to stir, and Sousei moves towards the book, tossing over his shoulder--]

But an idiot insisted on reading some of it to me in an attempt to prove me wrong.

[......... yeah.]

[defeets]

Did this idiot have white hair and a gross [yaoi] hand?

[Jae-ha says before he jumps and lands on the dragon's back again, stomping once, hard aiming to dislocate his lame cousin's shoulder.

He'll feel bad in a little bit.]

[deontology]

[Ah.

Naturally.

Sousei ducks an errant claw as the dragon roars in agony and flails backwards, and scoops up the trashy porn novel.

+1 trashy porn novel. Success!!]

Yes. That was him. I should not be surprised that you know him.

[defeets]

You shouldn't be. It sounds like you were read erotica by none other than the majestic and unbearable White Dragon himself.

[it's not like Ki-ja hides it any more than Jae-ha...... still though, he's hopping off the dragon easily and landing next to Sousei.

He grins.]

How was it? Was he any good?

[wink wink nudge nudge]
