twentieth form; the fourth wall has been breached!

[used_glare]

{In the middle of Ilex Forest, it is black at night. Like, tar black. You can't-see-your-hand-in-front-of-your-face dark. So naturally, when there's a very very very bright flash of light, it alerts everyone in the entire forest.

{Including one now very awake Ise Nanao.}

What was that. {As she stands, however, there's a familiar tingling in her

[Ughh, light everywhere -- and then suddenly why he was in the forest again and why, he wasn't even sure, but picking a direction and sticking with it when there were suddenly a ton of people everywhere seemed better than risk being stuck in Goldenrod. ...he hadn't intended ending up back here, but now he was, and how had that even happened?]

[He stumbles over where she is a few moments later, looking a little disoriented. ;o; halp.]

[greatbigrock]

[ughhh now he can't see you. This is torture.]

"Obviously". [He mutters it, actually getting a little USED to this thing.] What are you, a witch?

[used_glare]

{And now you're going up and down, like you were lying down in an elevator. He might be able to catch a glimpse of her if he tries really really hard. She's grinning, by the way.}

No, merely a spirit with a good knowledge of the Demon Arts. {...yep, she did just admit to being dead.}

[greatbigrock]

[But why are you doing this to him. Man, he is going to be The Most Wary around her after this whole thing is over.]

[-- spirit? Wait.]

You're dead?

[used_glare]

{And now she's arranging his limbs into various poses. He's now posing like a lady of a rather disreputable pursuit, for instance.}

Yes, I am. For roughly one hundred and thirty-six years, too.

{Man he is gonna be so paranoid whenever her fingers start making those twitchy motions towards him.}

sorry for the late ;o; feel free to ignore!

[greatbigrock]

[Oh well Tulio has had experiences of being a lady before-- I MEAN. NEVERMIND THAT.]

But-- what--

Haha, nooo, you know what? Forget it. I give up.

[He'd cross his arms here, if he could.]

I don't care. I'm going to wake up from this soon anyway. I've had worse dreams than this.

NEVERRRRRRR this thread is far too much fun

[used_glare]

{WAIT WHAT details would be nice.}

{But she stills, pauses, and turns her hand palm up, and cups her fingers.}

Sorry, Tulio.

{And she exhales, and her grip on him relaxes. He's still floating, but it feel like the air has turned into a fluffy cushion, supporting him, cradling him.}

sob it really is

[greatbigrock]

[NEVERRRR any details on that.]

[But, hey - that isn't such a bad change. Not that he'll ever relax in this position, but still.]

Not sure 'sorry' is gonna cut it this time, missy. Next time you need a living puppet you could at least ask.

[Yeah, totally an edge to his tone, but he's pretty sure this isn't even happening. It's a defense. Rather believe that than freak out some more.]

man she feels bad now

[used_glare]

{Will she have to get him drunk to get the answers out of him?}

I - I... Yes.

{She lowers him down to ground, letting go of him entirely. She seems to have shrunk in on herself a bit - she knows she's done something wrong, and is shrinking back from that tone.}

I know I should have asked, but...

GOOD >:C then she won't do it again

[greatbigrock]

[Yeah, possibly. Probably.]

[And oh, wow, that's nice. He moves his arms carefully and stretches, complete with small hrngh-y sounds. That's nice. Moving by yourself is nice. He missed that.]

[He then crosses his arms and turns to her, looking all kinds of not impressed, mouth in a thin line.]

But? But what?

I don't think she will. Even if they both live to see another 4th wall day.

[used_glare]

{Then that will eventually happen. Somehow.}

{She's just sitting down on the ground in seiza, hands folded on her lap, the picture of obedience.}

You're normal, Tulio, you've never had to deal with powers that you once couldn't control.

I envy you for that.

hooray xD

[greatbigrock]

[I hope so. It'd be hilarious.]

[And ... huh. Well, okay - that admittedly makes him a little curious, but definitely wary, too, and he frowns as he answers.]

What, was this you out of control?

\o/, also, keywords.

[used_glare]

{It's the weirdest mental image, that's for sure.}

{Her face twists a little as she answers.}

Sort of. If I don't use it every so often, it builds to dangerously high levels, and if I can't control it...

...bad things happen.

-pats her-

[greatbigrock]

[It's ......... sort of canon]

[And ehh sort of keeping a distance. Again with sarcasm as defense.]

Right, of course. It can never be good things. That would be too easy.

/clingssss

[used_glare]

{ ... stop enabling me into watching Road to El Dorado.}

{She shrugs helplessly, and little lights like fireflies coalesce around her.}

It never was easy, and it still isn't. I'm sorry, Tulio.

[greatbigrock]

[It's not in the movie but-- ....haven't you seen it? WHAT.]

Good. And don't do that again.
