[Barnaby pops on screen, face fairly devoid of emotion. This is just a business call, of course.] Excuse me. I had two questions, if anyone could provide answers or helpful information ( Read more... )

[MEANWHILE Kotetsu is currently lounging on the bed, scratching at the bandage on his cheek while staring at the arm he has stretched out in front of him. He's been just staring at his hand for a while now, a little caught up in his thoughts from their first mission and this whole weapon thing. The fight had been... terrible, to say the least, but at least they were okay?! Somewhat. Eh, a few bandages never hurt anyone.

Clenching his hand into a fist and unclenching it, trying to concentrate... and watching as nothing happened. Cue loud frustrated groan as Kotetsu reaches for the pillow behind his head and proceeds to smash it against his face. After a few moments of silence a muffled whine came forth from the pillow, though when Kotetsu realized that probably wasn't going to get him heard he tossed the pillow aside.]

Oooi, Bunnyyy...

[Once the post is made, Barnaby sighs and reclines in his seat, right hand idly reaching for his left wrist again. After that abysmal nightmare of a first mission (that was a trend with this duo, wasn't it?) Barnaby's decided to focus more on making sure they're more prepared next match. Fighting skills alone will only get them so far; at least now they know a limit.

His mind is only starting to drift when he hears the whine coming from his partner's bedroom, and part of Barnaby really, really just wants to call across the room, but he knows that would get them nowhere. So, with a grimace, he eases himself onto his feet and treks over to Kotetsu's room. He pushes open the door and sticks his head in.]

What is it?

[Pushing himself up and into an indian-style seated position onto the bed.]

Training! And I don't mean later, I mean now. The sooner the better!

[action what are you even talking about (whistles)] luckyfooted January 28 2012, 07:47:15 UTC
[What. Training already? Barnaby crosses his arms.]

Are you sure you're alright for training?

[action (deadcat)] toratetsu January 28 2012, 07:54:27 UTC
Of course I'm alright! I wouldn't ask if I wasn't!

[He actually would which he's doing right now but that's not the point!! But in fact to make a show that he's perfectly alright Kotetsu starts doing some stretches on the bed, raising his arms into the air-- and then wincing as a sharp ache in his shoulders hit him. Oops?]

...close to alright? Training'll help though!

[He sees that. With a sigh, he heads into the room a bit more.]

You're going to hurt yourself more if you try to push your injuries now.

They're not that bad. [He's definitely had worse but there's still no doubt that Kotetsu isn't at 100% right now.] Fine, I bet if I take a nap I'll be feeling as good as new afterward! So we don't have to train now-now. How about that? It's a good idea, right?

[action (yea)] luckyfooted January 28 2012, 08:24:45 UTC
[No, but Barnaby hates when he's the reason you're hurt. Hence why he's actually concerned now. He shakes his head.]

A nap isn't going to do much. How about tomorrow morning, bright and early?

[Waiting. Something he's never been good at. However he can tell that he's not going to get much farther with any of these persuasion techniques of his and so with a heavy sigh and a rub of his neck, Kotetsu concedes defeat.]

Alright, alright. Tomorrow morning. Don't wanna sit around here all day though. 's boring. I can still walk 'n stuff y'know.

[Tomorrow it is, then. Good plan. He's tempted to tell Kotetsu about the judge now, but then decides to make it wait. It'll be a surprise. But for now...]

We're running low on milk again. Do you want to run to the store?

[AKA go buy junk food, it's a fairly menial and non-extreme activity.]

[aw yee shopping. He certainly doesn't mind that.]

Yes sir! Ah, why don't you go with me? After we were stuck in all that freezing weather it's nice to be in this place for once! And I know you're all worried about my injuries so I promise we won't walk that much.

[Not walking around that much... He's alright with that. Barnaby shrugs.] Sure.

[Yaaay shopping with Bunny. 'A' Kotetsu hops right on out of bed, snatching up his hat and setting it right on his head with a bit of a pose for a moment to emphasize what he says next.]

Soooo when are you going to tell me about how cool I am as a weapon, huh?

[Oh, they're leaving now? Well, he still has to put his shoes on and junk... guh...]

Hn? Oh, is that what you're waiting for me to say?

[You're funny. Barnaby turns around and heads out. There's a very faint limp from the start but then he regains his footing and just... yeah he's not saying anything about your weapon form, old man.]

[He stays there posed and ready for all his awed praise... which never comes, and he sputters as Barnaby just proceeds to almost leave him behind. With a yelp Kotetsu begins to try and catch up quickly, opening his mouth to whine about what just happened until he notices the limp which quiets him down. There's a few moments of silence as the two just walk but eventually Kotetsu continues on with his planned whining.

Mentally though, he makes a note to not get carried away with shopping today. Go in, get what they need and get back so that limp doesn't end up becoming more obvious.]

W-well it's not like I was waiting... but come on, it was totally impressive! I'm claws!

[You're funny, old man. Expecting praise from Barnaby. But Barnaby just keeps walking, passing the desk so he can grab his mirror.]

Maybe when you learn to control that. [But he's not denying that it was impressive... because it kind of was.]
