Twenty-Second Blade | [VIDEO]

[sternjudgment]

[The feed opens up with quickly put together opening theme. You know, one of those really annoying ones that usually preface Youtube videos showcasing the subscriber name when all you really want is to get to the freaking video already? Yeah. One of those. Instead the title block says: "LEATHER IS HOT MANAGERIAL STAFF PRESENTS

[ACTION]

[congenialsinner]

...Or perhaps it's the heat? It is rather warm in here...

Re: [ACTION]

[sternjudgment]

[ALAS, HE CAN'T TELL]

There should be a thermostat somewhere. Where is the manager?

Re: [ACTION]

[congenialsinner]

Ah...

[He looks up just in time to see said manager disappearing into the back office and all but slamming the door]

...I'll see if I can find it myself.

[Since the fainted women seem out for the count and perfectly comfortable on the floor, he stands, steps over them, and begins examining the walls for said thermostat]

Re: [ACTION]

[sternjudgment]

I will look over here.

[He climbs on a footstool to try and open up a vent in the meantime]

[KA-THUNK]

[Guess what]

Re: [ACTION]

[congenialsinner]

[notices this]

Oh dear...Ah, I think this is it. Though why someone would put it under the counter...

[Oh well. He bends down to adjust the thermostat and]

[THUD]

[...there goes another innocent customer. :|a]

Re: [ACTION]

[sternjudgment]

[And a cold breeze BLASTS KRATOS IN THE FACE BWAUGH]

[He shoots Hakkai a glare witha HUFF. Clearly that bastard did it on purpose B(]

Re: [ACTION]

[congenialsinner]

Ah, did it work?

Re: [ACTION]

[sternjudgment]

[Kratos' hair should be a sure way to tell. But just in case:]

Yes.

Re: [ACTION]

[congenialsinner]

[pfff.]

Excelle--

[He's interrupted by another 'ka-THUNK!' as yet another customer falls over in a dead faint. Apparently Kratos' sexy hair blowing in the breeze was too much for him.]

Re: [ACTION]

[sternjudgment]

Hopefully once the air has a chance to circulate they'll stop fainting.

In the meantime, what do you propose we do with the unconscious? It doesn't seem as though they'll be awakening anytime soon, even with our efforts.

Re: [ACTION]

[congenialsinner]

Hmm...Perhaps we ought to call for an ambulance.

[His pants have slipped a little since he bent over to adjust the thermostat, so he tugs them back up - and immediately following is a quiet exclamation and another soft 'thump' as yet another customer faints dead away]

[He stares suspiciously at this latest victim to mysterious circumstances]

...Or perhaps, as the manager has locked himself in the office, it might be best if we vacate the premises before we also succumb to whatever is affecting our clientele.

[Secretly he's just suggesting they skip out on work, because seriously, this job blows. 8(]

Re: [ACTION]

[sternjudgment]

[Kratos shoots him a look that says "I know you're secretly suggesting we skip out on work because this job seriously blows."]

...If we leave, then there could be opportunists who will ransack the store.

[...As much as he would love to.]

Re: [ACTION]

[congenialsinner]

[Dammit, Kratos. Now Hakkai suddenly has a lot more sympathy for Gojyo during all of the times he guilted him into being responsible.]

[And he should not be feeling sympathetic towards Gojyo for having his attempts at irresponsibility thwarted. B|]

Ah. You're probably right.

[PAUSE]

I don't suppose you have any suggestions, then?

Re: [ACTION]

[sternjudgment]

...

I will find the large broom.

Re: [ACTION]

[congenialsinner]

[He hesitates before responding, thinking about this]

[...And decides that he's in such a shitty mood and this is such a shitty job, he really doesn't care what Kratos does.]

Alright.

Re: [ACTION]

[sternjudgment]

[Suddenly, just as he turns around, there's a rumbling]

[As if hundreds of people are stampeding down a hallway]
