Hundred Fifth Explosion

[Action]

[OH and this is probably backdated to sometime in the earlier afternoon.

So Haruki has been in hiding since the end of the AU event. To be fair, he thinks he has good reason. What he doesn't suspect, or perhaps is still in denial about is the the other night... (which is a much longer thread in full and totally work safe and such if

[Arche, attracted by the scream like the proverbial moth to a flame, is just left... staring at the ice-sculpture that was once Haruki. She's gotta admit, she's pretty impressed.]

Wow... wonder who did this.

[god_is_a_dude]

[Can't talk. Too busy being... frozen solid.

...But she probably left the scene not that long ago. Quietly. Skillfully.]

[skyborne_mage]

[Brief moment of consideration here. Pretty much all her fire spells would flash-fry him in addition to melting the ice. How can she get him free without giving him third-degree burns as well...

An idea forms in her head and she flies around to the back of the tree. In a move that is sure to piss off Moro something fierce, she takes aim at it.]

Fire Ball!

[Three small orbs of fire smash into the tree from behind, burning it pretty badly. But the heat they give off should be enough to melt the ice...

Which may or may not be worth the tree falling to the side. Timberrrrrrr!]

[god_is_a_dude]

[...And this, in turn... causes him to fall to the side. Along with the tree. And then smash down on the ground. This at least shatters a lot of the ice around his body (his teeth start chattering as he's freed) but... ... um. It also caused him to sorta hit his head a little.

...Ouch]

[flamesofanger]

[What power did this, he doesn't know. If the guy deserved it or not, he doesn't know either. And doesn't care.

Ikki heard a scream and an alteration in the Cosmos but when he arrived it was too late. Well, whatever.]

Hoyoku Tenshou!

[Hopefully Haruki isn't conscious inside that thing, because it can be a bit scary to see Ikki attack him... Without a second of hesitation as soon as he sees the ice and makes sure that the responsible one isn't around.

Good thing Ikki's flames won't hurt Haruki or the tree, it's even better than since ice is his opposite it gets melted.]

1/2

[god_is_a_dude]

[...WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK THIS GUY IS GOING TO PUNCH FIRE INTO HIM OH MY GOD NOOOOO WHHHYYYYY

And yes he is awake in here. And horrified]

[god_is_a_dude]

[...But then he... faints. No really as the ice melts he straight up passes out on the ground at Ikki's feet. Like a little bitch]

[flamesofanger]

Tch.

[Ikki is having a dejavu feeling at this thing of rescuing someone and have them faint or be unconscious. He isn't sure if the guy was conscious in the ice or not but, whatever.

Ikki takes him, throwing the body over his shoulder and teleporting to the clinic. Remain sleeping Haruki, unless you want to wake up and find yourself surrounded by fire... And several meters above the ground.]

[breaks_destiny]

[Haruki hasn't been the only one hiding. Keiichi too, or rather, he has been avoiding some people. Haruki mainly. It helped that the other was hidding as that way Keiichi could almost relax.

He was in the middle of his usual training routine when he heard the scream. Honestly he didn't even know who had screamed, just felt his sixth sense tingle and ran there as fast as he could. Only to stop dead in his tracks at the sight.]

What the... WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO AND TO WHOM?!

[And he had thought that he had done it bad. At least no one is after his neck like that!]

[god_is_a_dude]

[...I AM FROZEN SOLID BRO HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO ANSWER]

[breaks_destiny]

[Silence.]

Oi! Answer me!

[Uh, wait a second. Maaaaybe you should try to get him out of there first. Yeah, it sounds like a good idea. And now it sounds like it would have been a good idea to learn filial magic, one of those days he will stop being lazy and do it.

For now though, all he can do is try to make a fire besides Haruki to try to unfroze him slowly and stab at the ice with one of his push knives.]

c-can't resist the irony

[markofthebrave]

[Freezing boys to trees? Where has Katara heard that before?

It might not look like it, but it's your lucky day. Katara was actually aimlessly wandering through the forest when she heard the scream and - running towards it, finds Haruki frozen to the tree. And the tree itself...

Huh. She'd remember if she was the one who did this, right? She'll be gawking for about a second.]

Oh I saw this coming

[god_is_a_dude]

[Yeah bro he's... breathing. Sorta. But too busy being frozen to like respond in any way shape or form. Ouch, pain]

hey, I held out for like - a half hour

[markofthebrave]

[A blink and she shakes herself out of it because - whoever did this froze his face too, and that just wasn't good.

Raising her arms up in front of her, she turns the ice to water and bends it right off of him in one fluid motion, freeing him - and the tree - completely.]

lol I'm glad you didn't resist

[god_is_a_dude]

[Which causes him to fall, naturally...!

...And land on his face. Because he wasn't expecting that and he's still a little almost frostbit. OUCH]

[pinkribbons]

[Some time after haruki escapes in whatever manner is canon, or escapes from multiple traumatic executions, Yuzu marches past his house.]

[god_is_a_dude]

[And he is... on his porch, nuzzled in the warmth of a half-dozen blankets he's tied around himself in a cacoon of trying to feel better. It's not working... very well]

[pinkribbons]

[...oh what is this. is this actually him?

she stalks up to him.]

Suzumiya.

[god_is_a_dude]

[...He looks up at her. Bleary. He thinks he's getting a cold even aside from his trauma. He even sneezes lightly]

...Shit.
