7 ♫ the post where neku is a loser [action/text]

[brbmanlytears]

[so that pond by Sprout Tower. Neku is at it, because 2/3 of his Pokémon are water types and they like to swim about. anyone nearby may witness him just chilling (except not because it's hot out) on the edge of said pond, while his endearingly derpy Quagsire, Fish, swims around and occasionally bumps into Fish 2 -- which is easier to do now,

[action] ... LMFAO YES

[bakaitoukid]

[and Kaito just. Happened to be nearby and watched the entire exchange from a safe distance away from the frightening fish. But once it happens, he bursts out into laughter and approaches Neku, Biz the Aipom perched happily on top of his head. He is not trying to hide his snickers]

... I knew keeping those stupid fish things was a bad idea. [he has a huge vendetta against Magikarp which pretty much extends to Gyarados too]

[action] I KEEP MY WORD

[brbmanlytears]

[Neku is making his way back to the edge of the pond to get the hell out of the water when OUT OF NOWHERE Kaito just happens to be there. oh boy, a stranger.

excuse him, he's in a crappy mood now.] Gee, you must be psychic.

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

[Kaito raises an eyebrow, his amused grin refusing to fade, as he leans over the edge of the pond and extends his hand to Neku. He may be so very amused, but he's not gonna just stand there and not help]

Ever since I was a little kid, actually! [granted he isn't really psychic but hey, he'll go with it] I always thought it was weird I could read minds and predict the future...

[his expression totally gives his stupid joke away, too]

[action]

[brbmanlytears]

[hmwhat. Neku pauses, just for a second, before grabbing Kaito's hand to pull himself back onto land.

while he's in the process of wringing out the hem of his shirt, he spares Kaito an eyeroll and a Look.]

Ha ha. It's really not that exciting.

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

[Kaito tuuuugs to help him climb back onto dry land, letting go of his hand as he does so and shoving it into his pocket.

And then he raises both eyebrows at Neku, because that is the statement of someone who has experience in the psychic department]

Probably not. I'd choose my magic effects over being psychic any day.

[action]

[brbmanlytears]

[Neku will just be here, dealing with his wet clothes. after a moment he gives up on wringing the shirt and pulls off his headphones to see what the damage to them is --

oh, r-right, conversation.] What?

-- Oh. Magic, huh?

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

[Kaito hasn't cleared the premises, option to watch Neku attempt to dry off with his arms crossed over his torso. If he had his backpack with him, he'd offer a towel, but alas... he left it back at the in]

Yeah, magic. Card tricks, sleight-of-hand, that kind of thing.

[action]

[brbmanlytears]

[thanks anyway, stranger buddy. Neku listens while shaking some water out of his headphones which is so heartbreaking --]

Oh, that kind of magic. Thought you meant -- I dunno, wizard crap.

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

What, spellcasting? There's no way I'd ever get involved with that kind of stuff. [especially not with how creepy the witches are back at home]

[action]

[brbmanlytears]

Are you anti-wizard or something?

[man, Neku doesn't even get witches. :c]

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

Not exactly anti-wizard. I just think my brand of magic is better! [it's not used to make people fall in love with people and entertainment > stupid witch magic any day.

And he may not but he does get cool psychic pins]

[action]

[brbmanlytears]

[pause.] Are they really -- I never thought card tricks and wizards were really that similar.

[THIS IS TRUE.]

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

They're not. Card tricks take skill. Wizards just have... powers. Or something like that.

[he shrugs]

[action]

[brbmanlytears]

Guess so. Never actually met a wizard.

[meanwhile this wet offense to fashion turtleneck is hideously annoying. he has to go back to wringing that out now, don't mind him.]

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

I've met a witch. It's nothing special.

[watches him wring out his shirt some more]

Y'know, if you need a pair of dry clothes, I can grab one of my spares form the inn.

[action]

[brbmanlytears]

Huh.

[pause what.] Uh - No, I'm good, I've got stuff back at the inn too. [.....] Thanks anyway, though.
