✕ ☠ twenty six . ACTION

[rossovento]

[ it's autumn, now. it's begun getting colder, but Gokudera can't notice. He's been seeing people around wearing sweaters, but he's really thinking it would just be a nuisance to try to put one on over his wings just so he can fit in. He can't feel temperature, so why should be bother? Even though his arms are covered in bruises from being broken

[Squalo is running a few errands of his own when he spots the brat sitting in the town square. He frowns a little. After trading bodies, it's just weird seeing the kid around - he's more familiar with the bruises on those bare arms than he ever cared to be. Thinking of the swap reminds him of something, though. He stops and studies Gokudera a moment then rolls his eyes. Reaching into his leather coat, he pulls out a packet of cigarettes and gruffly tosses it at the teen.]

Here.

[ooc: would he have noticed lack of temperature while they were swapped?]

[rossovento]

...Why were you carrying these?

[ ooc: yeah, he would have o/ ]

[torrenziale]

[He shrugs.]

Destroyed the pack I found when we...switched places.

Nicotine withdrawal suuuucks, brat. You should thank me, you know. I probably added an extra hour to your little life that you can smoke away now.

[rossovento]

I've been smoking since I was 12. You don't need to tell me that.

1/2

[torrenziale]

Voi, I know. You've told me.

2/2

[torrenziale]

Withdrawal was new feeling for me, brat. [He gives Gokudera a pointed look] Then there was the not feeling of certain things. That was new too...

[rossovento]

[ ...shit. ]

T-tch...

[torrenziale]

You ever study Darwin in school, brat?

wow something i learned in anthro being useful in rp

[rossovento]

Tch, what does Natural Selection have to do with it?

that's because anthro is cool XD

[torrenziale]

Self-destructive behavior is hardly adaptive. If Bomb Brat were a species, it'd be extinct in, like six months or something. And that's being generous.

[Shakes his head. He doesn't understand you, Gokudera.]

I'd almost ask if you had a death wish, brat.

[rossovento]

My behavior isn't "self-destructive", dumbass.

[torrenziale]

Voi! I could list off a ton of shit proving you wrong, but I'd be here all day, and it's getting colder out.

...Except you wouldn't notice that now that would you, Coatless Wonder.

[rossovento]

[ opens his mouth to say something, but--- fuck. He really hates having Varia know about his temperature-thing. ]

[torrenziale]

[He rolls his eyes at that reaction.]

Stop with the melodrama, already! I don't caaaare that you can't feel temperature. That's your business. But I'm willing to bet the reason you can't helps prove my point.

[rossovento]

That wasn't "self-destructive".

[torrenziale]

No?
