caughtinanetwork | nineteenth flame: video { fun with office chairs and fire

[Even though this feed is coming from one Rin Okumura's SFC, it seems to be focused on Death the Kid, leaning against a low wall outside the Villa. He's looking right, silently, at something off camera, intently focused on it. There's a good two minutes of nothing before he speaks.]

This really is a terrible idea...

[There's no actual response, verbally at least, but what does happen is... interesting to say the least. A blur of... mostly varying hues of blue goes zooming by at an impressive speed. Impressive if only because the person going by appears to be on a rolling office chair. Not something one would equate to speed. But Rin has got it going pretty damn fast because he's actually using his flames to propel himself across the stone entryway of the Villa like a rocket.

And it seems to be working pretty well. He's crouched on the seat, almost like a surfer, palms out and blasting his blue fire down at the ground, and so far appears to be maintaining decent balance. He even manages to zip back around with a gentle coaxing of his flames to the right, guiding the normally unwieldy chair in to a nice turn. He lets out a very loud whoop as he goes zooming by Kid even faster, prompting the reaper to just roll his gold eyes and suddenly walk off.

Rin doesn't notice he's gone, and makes a few more laps (with varying cries of victory) before Kid returns, a bag of ice and first aid kit in either hand.

He knows where this is going.

And true to his silent prediction, Rin decides to pick up a little more speed the next time around by increasing the intensity of his flames, and just as he gets past where the SFC can view, there's a very loud CRASH!

Kid moves off his perch and follows the path Rin took.]

I warned you, Rin.

Owwww...

[Good; shiners aren't exactly attractive.]

Interestin' way ta practice. Might wanna try sometin' a bit stoirdier next time.

[Bugs approves of this manner. It's entertaining.]

I asked Kid if I could use his skateboard but he said that was "an even worse idea".

[Which Rin took to meant he was actually encouraging the chair-surfing.]

Ya know...I woulda paid good money ta see dat one.

[Oh Lionheart...]

[Let him have his moments.]

Yeah well it's not gonna happen.

Oh?

Ya can't find a skate board some place else?

Not one that flies!

I'm pretty sure ya can make yer own rockets, Lionheart.

Didn't work so well with the chair.

'cause you ain't supposed to ride a chair.

It has wheels! ... seemed like a good idea at the time.

Yer logic amuses me, kid.

... I ain't very good at logic.

Eh, logic don't have to make sense. If people listen to it den, it woirks.

That's not what Yukio says...

[Yukio would prolly have a small aneurism dealing with Toons...]

What's yer pals logic say 'bout talkin' rabbits?

[God yes.]

.. he'd probably think you were a demon.

[He's too cute to be confused for a demon.]

Aw, shucks, doc, didn't tink I were dat impressive, ehehehee.

You're pal ain't here is he?

[Cause that would be so much fun.]

[If Yukio was there, his office chair wouldn't be in pieces.]

He left last week.

Annnnd da chair was his, right?

[Bugs...still isn't sure what to do with the whole people leaving thing yet...]

Yeah, it was his office chair...

... I'm gonna replace it.

Maybe ya just get a few extra ta practice ya swan dive.

... hey, that's actually a good idea!

[Bugs, no. Stop.]

[Stop what?]

I get a few a dos every so often.

Awesome. I'll let you know how it goes!

[Why. Why do you encourage the idiot.]

[Bugs'll do anything for a laugh.]

I feel like I should say 'good luck'.
