twenty third flame: video { anyone seen a missing cat?

[keepsthefire]

Kuroooooo!

[Rin's SFC is on in one hand, and in the other he has a paper bag with something in it. He's shaking it, making whatever is inside rattle, walking around the outside of the Villa as he does so. He ducks down in a few places, checking under bushes and other places that cats might generally hide.]

C'mon buddy, this ain't funny! Quit hidin'! Kuro!

[He straightens up, hand in his hair and a frustrated noise leaving him. He turns his SFC up as if he was going to turn it on, but seeing that the damn light is already blinking he just scowls more, takes a breath, and asks as calmly as he can:]

Anyone seen a two-tailed black and white cat lately? I'm used t' him wanderin' of and doing his own thing, but doesn't stay out more than a couple-a days at most...

[Of course the idea that Kuro could be gone is in the back of his mind, as it always is, but he's still worried and willing to at least ask first.]

You killed me.
Why wouldn't I be focused on you?
You can relax a bit on that font.
I have...
a more important focus lately.

[Damn. Can't really argue with that. It's not like people stay dead here.Rin wasn't exactly expecting to get a stalker out of it at the time.

Of course he was also raging and out of control.]

Good.

'bout time you got a hobby.

I'm also learning some new tricks.
Ever hear of alchemy?

[...be afraid. :D]

[keepsthefire]

[Too dumb to be afraid]

Nope.

[Also alchemy isn't really discussed in exorcism since most of what it deals with is a forbidden practice anyway and was outlawed centuries ago. So even if Rin had the brains to understand it, it's not like any teacher at the academy is just going to spout off things that might give stupid ambitious kids ideas.]

I will give you a demonstration some time then.

[Surprising him could be fun! And if he can't do it, he can get Kimbutt to do it!]

I like you blue, but not that kind of blue.
You can create things in exchange of other things.
My friend can use his to create explosions.

[Suddenly things make a lot more sense.]

Oh.

[halfhearted]

[He doesn't like that response.]

Oh?
Oh what?

text;

[keepsthefire]

Nothing.

[halfhearted]

Fine.
I'll see if he knows.
You should be thrilled.
A hobby is a hobby, right?

text;

[keepsthefire]

I guess so, yeah.

[halfhearted]

Unless you have a better suggestion?

[keepsthefire]

No, not really.
