[008] [Action/Voice] The Boy Is Brooding

Apr 19, 2011 17:58

[Some grand Shift that turned out to be. Everyone was more confused than harmed or set back. Whatever or whoever was the source of these Shifts, they must have been running out of ideas if the best they could do was widespread perplexity. Hell, Kamui hadn't even realized anything had happened at first ( Read more... )

Fishbowls?

[he didn't mean to sound skeptical. He'd just prefer it if their sad little family didn't attract any further negative attention. ...Please don't electrocute someone, brother]

...this will not be a repeat of what happened last summer. I've tested the device thoroughly.

Besides, any electrical experiment is at risk for fire--even ones conceived by me. That was not a flaw, that was a possible outcome.

[voice] endthem April 21 2011, 03:52:38 UTC

Forgive me if this all seemed a bit familiar.

We don't need a forest fire added to our list of 'sins', either.

[...between the three of them, the brothers have built up quite the unique reputation]

[voice] byname_bynature April 21 2011, 04:11:49 UTC

I'm not going to start a forest fire. [His voice is a little sharper. All he gets is discouragement...]

Perhaps if you took an interest you might think it was worthwhile.

[voice] endthem April 21 2011, 04:24:56 UTC

[it's his job as the oldest sibling, especially without parents around]

I never said that I didn't have an interest, and I never said that it wasn't worthwhile.

I'm simply... being cautious.

[voice] byname_bynature April 21 2011, 04:56:58 UTC

Cautious in the name of not further besmirching our name. [Not exactly a subtle jab, but.] Not that I could ever be hurt by any of these things--I'm only playing with electricity.

It's going to be beautiful when it's done. I swear it.

[voice] endthem April 21 2011, 05:17:48 UTC

[another sigh. He doesn't feel like arguing much today]

Beautiful? Creating something to entertain the crowds, are we?

[voice] byname_bynature April 21 2011, 05:19:52 UTC

Yes. [The edge is coming off his voice a little.] It isn't ready yet, but if you wanted to see it before the festival, I could demonstrate it.

[voice] endthem April 21 2011, 05:26:44 UTC

As long as I don't end up on fire... [ignore the flat tone. that was really a joke.] ...I wouldn't mind.

[voice] byname_bynature April 22 2011, 02:31:16 UTC

Well, the joke is on you, Legato. Because I fully intend to set you on fire at my earliest convenience.

[Family of the Weird Sense of Humor.]

[voice] endthem April 22 2011, 03:08:12 UTC

How unfortunate for me. You'll get Kamui's constant hovering all to yourself, then.

[seriously. their parents must have been... interesting]

[voice] byname_bynature April 22 2011, 04:57:01 UTC

Hm. This could prove to be collateral damage too great for me to shoulder.

[Or they just developed this strange sense of morbid humor from having a somewhat broken home. Artemis has never thought too hard about it, mostly because he's afraid of what will happen if he starts psychoanalyzing himself and his family.]

[voice] endthem April 22 2011, 05:20:53 UTC

And this is precisely why I remind you to think before you act. Consider the repercussions you nearly could have been saddled with.

[yes, it really is best not to think too much about it. It works for them, and that's all that matters, right?]

[voice] byname_bynature April 22 2011, 05:26:01 UTC

Ladies and Gentlemen: my brother Legato. He manages to remind me not to set fire to, blow up, or otherwise destroy anything at every opportunity he gets. And then threatens me with Kamui. Heartless, simply heartless.

[voice] endthem April 22 2011, 06:16:24 UTC

I try my best.
