Intro Log.
 | |
The old man is snoring. He bumped his head and went to bed And he couldn't get up in the morning. | |
Welcome to Awash's second intro log, everyone! Please review the FAQ and rules before playing. New characters have all woken at the bottom of the well in the middle of the town (which seems a lot bigger on the inside, somehow), and it looks like they'll have to put in some work to get out. Thankfully, they have some friends on the outside, this time. | |
ou wake in knee-deep water, cold as ice and stagnant, in a space that is far too echoey and spacious. It feels like a massive cave, but looking up... there's only one small, circular opening that shows grey sky and shines any sort of light.
no subject
[He knows better than anyone that looks aren't an indicator of age, but this kid acts like he's that age, so. Probably around there.]
no subject
[He gives him a suspicious stare, daring him to make fun of his age.]
no subject
[He grins sharply, then puts two carbonized fingers on his forehead, shoving him back lightly.]
You're copying me.
no subject
[He flashes him a cheeky smirk before promptly stuttering again.]
Why you--?!! I know my quirk's not the most original, but don't throw me into the same hat as you metal-sheen dudes! My hardening is way better than that!
[Or maybe not. But at least so far Kirishima has never lost against any ~material~ based quirk that gave their user strength or resilience so far so there! He has worked until he cried tears to get this strong hide!]
no subject
[But he reaches for his arm, lifting it up to get a better look. Don't mind him, just trying to see what his faux-little-brother is made of.]
And if you think I'm old, you should see my brother. He was pushing three centuries the last time I saw him.
no subject
Yeah, sure.
[He scoffs, but it's obvious that he's not entirely sure what to believe. Instead Kriishima lets his arm be inspected, going as far as briefly curling and uncurling his fingers, letting them lie flat like a blade for a moment before the ridges of his skin suddenly move like a wave in a stormy sea. The rippling of skin forms new, harder skin and even more ridges, sharp and resilient enough to both harm and defend simply by being made contact with.
Despite that it still feels like skin in a weird way - his body is warm and organic, even when he is hard beyond belief.]
no subject
[But he says it fondly, and it's honestly meant in a positive way. He's weird; that doesn't mean bad. His fingers curl for a moment, digging into those ridges. There's no way they'll cut through his shield, but it's impressive they dig in as much as they do.
He then releases him, offering him a little grin.]
So that's a hell of a weapon. You ever tested how good it is?
no subject
He smiles shyly as he lets Greed try and test his toughness by holding his arm.]
You can go ahead and try harder if you want, I'm barely feeling you touch me at all right now.
[He is a little disappointed when the other pulls back, yet there's still a hesitant hopeful smile on his face. Right now Kirishima feels all the kid a part of him still is. Whatever happened right now also gives him the distinct impression that he just got tested by some big, as shrewd as they come street mutt and that he somehow miraculously passed the exam and might even have gotten adopted somehow -- it's all just a really silly gut feeling, though!
The question gets him right into familiars waters. Undoing his hardening Kirishima smirks at Greed like the cat who got the canary.]
Are you joking?! I've been practicing it against rocks, against concrete, against explosions and steel, I've even had a several tons heavy fighting robot dropped on me once! Pushing my quirk to its limits is part of my daily training routine!
no subject
[A quirk? Huh. Anyway! More importantly:]
My shield against your quirk . . . wanna see who wins?
[OBVIOUSLY IT WILL BE HIS ULTIMATE SHIELD, Greed thinks, but he likes this kid. It's fun to indulge him. Quick as a flash his shield spreads over his body, spanning up to his neck. It doesn't cover his face, because, well. He likes the way he looks? Let him look cool during a quick fight?]
no subject
[Cocking his head he grins as his skin starts rippling for real now, lapping first just over his arms before it quickly settles over his whole body, leaving his skin look rough and turning his hair into real spikes.
Taking a step back and slipping into a fighting stance Kirishima raises his hardened hands in front of his chest and grins.]
Is that a challenge? You're on!
[Wasting no time he leaps forward and aims a sideways slash across Greed's chest.]
no subject
So in one sense, no, Kirishima doesn't land any hits, because there's no blood drawn, no real serious injury. But Greed's forced to leap this way and that, skidding back time and again as those blows land heavy on him. The kid is good, more than worth the fight, and he laughs as they move.
And of course, he gives back just as good as he gets. His claws land on the kid with no mercy, though if they manage to smash through his shield (if), he'll try not to draw an obscene amount of blood.
But sooner or later, Greed skids to a halt. He's grinning fiercely, laughing, delighted by this kid.]
Not bad, brat!
no subject
Right back at you! I think I could take your shield out if I went all out, but your technique is something else! How did you do that dodge-counter-counter-dodge-low down-up-counter-dodge-counter move again? That one was just crazy! It felt like I'd suddenly fell into a blender!
no subject
[Greed usually just goes for the punch it until it stops moving, dodge because I'm super quick method. Maybe a few throw it into a walls for good measure.]
One of these days you oughta go all out. I've never seen anyone break my shield through sheer force before.
[And, privately, he doubts he will, but who knows!]
C'mon.
[Where are they going? I guess back to Greed's place.]
no subject
[He nods without saying more on the topic of his super move because Kirishima still feels like he has a long way to go before he can justify being proud of it again. It's alright as it is, but he really needs to keep honing and fine-tuning it way more.
Falling into pace next to Greed he gives him a curious look.]
Where are we going? Ah, I don't think we've even exchanged names - I'm Kirishima.
no subject
[Where are they going? Greed honestly doesn't know. Away from the well, probably.]
And it's a long story. But to make it short: I didn't have a body, Ling did, we ended up being roommates.
no subject
[How is that supposed to even work? This guy clearly isn't fighting or moving like somebody who isn't used to having an own body.]
Wait... Ling, do you mean the guy with the Philosopher's Stone and Alchemy Ling??
no subject
[He seems delighted that Ling is known. That's his boy!]
Shared a body with him for about six months, more or less. What'd he tell you about all that?
no subject
[He frowns for a moment, pulling his bottom lip in between his teeth and releasing it. He's not mad about some half-hearted knowledge he has mostly gleaned from anime and computer game plotlines, but admitting how he and Ling met is a bit embarrassing.]
...I sort of might have cut our introductions short because I caught the guy trying to climb through my window and raid my food reserves and reacted accordingly. I was sitting on top of him when he told me about the alchemy.
no subject
[On the one hand: he's particularly protective of Ling, because he's protective of all the things that he deems his, so that's not exactly great news. On the other hand: Kirishima is sort of his now too, in the same way anything Greed is even vaguely fond of becomes his. And anyway, Ling would have said something if it was serious, so.
Eh, in short.]
You end up giving him any food?
no subject
[He might only be half joking about this. Ling definitely made the impression like the kind of guy who will keep making bad decisions until some poor soul takes mercy on him and feeds him.]
Does he do that regularly?
no subject
no subject
no subject
[SORRY LING . . . but then Greed grins.]
But he's a hell of a fighter, so I guess he had to have some kind of weakness.
