[ Hijikata set out from their new abode this afternoon with the typical Plan of Action: get familiar with the new surroundings and the surrounding people for future reference, because familiarity comes in handy when one is unexpectedly attacked. Unexpected attacks seem to be a specialty in Luceti

HEEEEEEEEEEYYY OUTTA THE WAAAAAAAAAAAAAYY--!!

[UNEXPECTED ATTACK--

--from above!

somebody's been jumping off buildings in repeated attempts to fly, and the lucky landing space today is YOU, Samurai Man.

dodge, y/n?]

1/2

[whatsinthepipe]

[ Shouting surprise attacks.

It's almost as though having Ichimura as a page was a trial specifically handed down to him for this moment. Hijikata will dodge today...less than gracefully. ]

[whatsinthepipe]

[ And uh. This face. HE LOVES YOU REALLY >> ]

What do you think you're doing?

[ooh_kamina]

[WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMPPP CRASH.

after the standard five second delay, Kamina hops up, covered in dirt with a leaf sticking in his hair but otherwise none the worse for wear.

LAUGHS, putting his hands on his hips]

What's it look like? Flying!

[whatsinthepipe]

Strange. It closely resembled falling. [ Not Happy indeed. Though this man's endurance is admittedly impressive 8| ]

[ooh_kamina]

That's still a step up from being on the ground!

Eventually you'll be able to go up instead of down!

[whatsinthepipe]

[ He's beginning to wonder if this man hit his head particularly hard. ]

Fallen men only ever manage the one direction.

[ooh_kamina]

[maybe two or twelve times, yeah]

Yeah, that's why you can't be like that! Up's the only way to go!

You should give it a shot, see if you can get those wings of yours to do something.

[whatsinthepipe]

[ Ahh, of course. ]

I think I'll manage without.

[ooh_kamina]

Whaaaaat? You'll never get anywhere by just staying on the ground!

[whatsinthepipe]

[ He gives the surrounding area a sweeping glance. ]

I'll reach what can be reached. It proves useful.

[ooh_kamina]

You really need to have more guts.

[whatsinthepipe]

[ ...he now sounds effectively pissed off. Some nice spacing between words and all. ]

I beg your pardon?

[ooh_kamina]

You heard me. You got no guts.

[whatsinthepipe]

[ No engaging in private fights, no engaging in private fights... Never should have thought up that code, obviously. There is possibly a vein starting to throb in his forehead. ]

Is that so. It seems more akin to having sense.

[ooh_kamina]

Nobody ever did anything great by being sensible.
