(open) stepping on every metaphorical lego brick in the entire city

WARNINGS: expletives, violence, comical incompetence at city dwelling


Heropa (11/3) For Sabriel

You know what's a good way of sticking it to the man? By blowing off the polite government entourage in favor of shoving their dumb intro pamphlet into some official's face and running off into the city. Fuck rules. Fuck pamphlets. Unless someone's gonna tell him how to get back home, he's not interested in doing favors for anyone.

You know what's a bad way of sticking it to the man? Getting hopelessly tangled in the barbed wire of a building in Heropa's outskirts shortly after telling the welcome wagon where to shove it.

"Shit!"

He finds himself half dangling off the wall as the wire hooks into his robe and skin. He wasn't quite bleeding, but it still hurt having the metal thorns dig in. It took some vigorous scrambling for him to get a good enough grip on the fence links to be able to muscle his way out of it. Crashing down onto the concrete below, an empty aluminum bin clangs on ground as he tries to get up, almost taking the entirety of some innocent local business' fence with him.

Ok.

Now to focus on ripping this stuff off him. Cursing just about everything under his breath, he begins to free his arms of the snaking loops.


De Chima: Forward Dated to 11/6 and on-

Running off and telling his specially prepared intro party to suck it seemed like a good idea at the time, but Inuyasha admittedly found himself a little lost and confused after he'd calmed down and stopped feeling like an antagonistic piece of shit. With a little help, he'd managed to make his way up north to De Chima, but he was still walking through a city so foreign to him the only thing he really recognized was that it was inhabited by humans and had food.

He'd only visited Kagome's 'modern' era once, and he didn't leave the plot of land that was mostly inhabited with familiar looking shrines to begin with. De Chima was a cavalcade of new sights and smells that inevitably caught his attention multiple times over.

(Open Prompts)

a. A threatening looking hover-truck that got a little too close earns a snarl, because it was looking at him funny, damnit! His hand closes cautiously over his sword as it slowly backs towards the rear end of a store, keeping an eye on the thing in case it wanted to try something fishy.

b. A noodle shop  gets an unwelcome visitor as he squats over its roof. He'd noticed that they sold some kind of excellent smelling broth. Curious, he climbs over the window and sticks his head inside, mane flopping over to basically create a disheveled white curtain between the cashier window and outside.

"Oi!"

One red sleeve reaches inside, ignoring the surprised shout of a teen who wasn't being paid enough to deal with this shit, claws reaching for the bowl they were about to pass outside.

"Hey, are you gonna eat that?"

c. Sometime later, he finds a strange and large block on the street. It was apparently called a 'Vending Machine', or some such. He didn't care. What he did care about was that it was full of food, and the last person pushed some assortment of buttons and got it to dispense the food.

Of course, figures punching in random numbers didn't solve the problem of not having any money, which makes him clench his fists in frustration.

Now, a reasonable person might investigate further why the magical metal brick wasn't complying, but Inuyasha had a simpler solution. Grip it with both hands, raise the entire damn thing right over his head, and vigorously shake it until food fell out.

d. Eventually, he finds a comfortable corner of concrete roof to sit on after a hard day of mischief. He reaches into his robe and takes out the folded pieces of paper he'd taken out of the brown folder, as well as the communicator.

The latter was some kinda mysterious small metal rectangle he'd resolve for another day, but the papers were curious enough to flip through one at a time.

e. Wildcard?

Prose or action is ok, I'll match format. :]

Things I'll keep in mind.

[It comes out as a mutter as his hand reaches up to rub his neck where Inuyasha had it. He's starting to see why this asshole was collar'd to start.

Not that he reacted any more maturely...]

And left him vulnerable to any criminal who might see him? Both of you could have just walked- or driven- away. There was no need for either of you to fight each other, aside from your own- [Stupidity.] bravado.

You're fortunate I was the one who stepped in, instead of someone who'd arrest you.

[Kaneda's shoulders lower, no longer raised and ready to fight should the need arise. It doesn't look like Inuyasha's going to be leaping at them again any time soon, and if he did, well...Sabriel was here. What was the magic word again? 'Stop it'?

But it seems like the fight was taken out of the biker too, leaning on one of his legs and rolling one of those shoulders idly.]


...

[He sees that comm, though, tilting his head to get a better look through his disheveled hair.]

Oi, that your comm? You broke it already?
bindsthedead: (curious)

[Sabriel's surprised by how quickly the tension ebbs, but she inspects the communicator with curiousity- and bit of exasperation. It might be a ruse, but he doesn't seem the sort to bother with deception. And she can stop him with two syllables if he tries anything.]

I'm a mage, not a technician. We'll have to take it to the base or a shop to get it repaired- it will probably take a few hours.

Did someone explain what it does already?
rassera: (Whatcha dooooin?)

[While they're discussing this, Kaneda's grabbed his coat, tossing it over his shoulder as he walks back to the other two. His eyes go to the comm, which...honestly looked like it'd seen better days. Like a maximum of six.

His hand reaches over to take it with one hand, snapping his fingers to make his bike appear right at his side with the other. Leaning against his bike, he bends over, opening up that glove compartment and grabbing a few papers out of it, looking from them to the comm, then back to them, and then back to the comm. After not really getting anywhere with his very sketchy diagrams, he gets a better look, placing the papers between his teeth to lift up a loose panel. Brows raising.

Keep talking, he's just being a curious little bugger.]


...

[But hearing Inuyasha, he's definitely going to speak up after that.]

Mmm-mmm-mmn. Wan-chan, it's not a chew toy.

[He gives a look to Sabriel, though, spinning it between his fingers and handing it back.]

But hey, I know a guy who probably can get it fixed.

Wanchan? Is that his name? [Sabriel mangles the pronunciation a bit, watching as Kaneda fusses with it in ways she wouldn't dare, for fear of breaking the whole thing.]

It's a communicator- a piece of technology that lets people talk from far away. It's not an uncommon thing here- and a useful one, given that imPorts live in several different cities.

[Then Kaneda speaks up.] He can? Then we can ask him to do it. And in the meantime, I'll explain to Wanchan how to use a communicator, so he doesn't break it again. [Because that's his name, right?]
rassera: (MORE SMILES)

[personal profile] rassera 2015-11-10 08:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Kaneda looks at Sabriel as if Christmas came early, his face contorting into a smile as she says it (a little off, but hey, she's trying). Those eyes flick to Inuyasha a moment, seeing that red face get redder and redder, the anger practically bubbling out of him.

But before he can even take the communicator back safely, Inuyasha's marching over, grabbing his shirt collar and jerking him down to eye level, or even a little bit under. It's surprising, and he gives a little noise of surprise from the sudden motion, but dark eyes lock with Inuyasha's.]


I never said you were, wan-chan.

[After all, that's not HIS collar you're wearing. Speaking of, his smirk widens as he looks at the beads, and then to him.]

You want that comm fixed, right? I need my face in one piece to do that.
bindsthedead: (art-cause for concern)

[personal profile] bindsthedead 2015-11-11 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
[When Inuyasha grabs Kaneda, Sabriel's fingers wrap around her sword before she stops, and speaks instead, feeling like she's back at school, but with no teachers or headmistress to threaten to send people to.]

Put him down, or I'll use the Words again. And tell us your name, if you don't want us to keep calling you that! [What was his name anyway? Sabriel doesn't recall him ever mentioning it.]

Kaneda, I think we'll need to explain more about what a comm is first. [Hopefully that'll keep him from breaking it again.]

[Inuyasha COULD probably kill him, and he knew it. But that didn't mean Kaneda would play it up like that. When your confidence is the natural core of yourself, it tends to radiate through everything you do. Thankfully Sabriel's threat works in his favour too, not making a move until he's let go.

The shove sends him back a few steps, hand reaching out to grip his bike to help catch his fall.

So he'll just keep this position, moving so he's sitting on the edge of the front ceramic plating on his bike, arms folding as well. Explain the comms to someone like this...]


That little metal box is how you talk to people in this place. [Taking it gently from Sabriel again, he opens it up to show the 'screen' and the keypad.]
bindsthedead: (curious)

[personal profile] bindsthedead 2015-11-12 07:29 am (UTC)(link)
Inuyasha. [Sabriel repeats the name mostly to make sure she can say it. Then she thinks- how would she explain something like the communicators to a resident of the Old Kingdom- one who'd never seen or heard of Ancelstierrian technology?]

Think of it as sending invisible messages that only people with the same sort of box can see- except the messages can be sound or images, instead of just written down.
