[iamtetsuo]

....

[He watches him leave.

Looks at the ramen.

WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?!]

[violentmotion]

[It's the next day entirely.

You know what you needed, Tetsuo?

YOU KNOW WHAT YOU REALLY NEEDED?

The door bursting open, followed by a kid wearing a gorilla mask and a bedsheet tied around his neck as a superhero cape to launch a flying tackle at him.]

DIVE ROLL 5000 APE-POLOGIES STUNNER

[You're welcome.]

[iamtetsuo]

[It's a calm day. Tetsuo's finally upgraded to playing video games again. He's doing fairly well, despite not taking the time anymore to translate the dialogue for this fight that he just can't win. All the actions are in the same places, so it's a matter of memory-

All of this concentration shatters at what sounds like a door being kicked down.

The violent slam makes his head jerk up, eyes widening just in time to see something his brain doesn't quite piece together as more than 'gorilla thing with cape coming straight for him' and barely has time to yelp in terror before an Ikki-colored blur slams into him, knocking him to the bed.

His gameboy flies somewhere, miraculously not losing its batteries.

As for the rest of Tetsuo, this is where the scene devolves into a whirlwind of flailing.

This is what you caused, Ikki.]

[violentmotion]

[Before the expensive piece of electronics even bounces twice, before the bedsheet cap has barely drifted to settle around them, Ikki is up, dragging Tetsuo into an elaborate pin to the bed that. Wouldn't look right no matter how you were to walk in on this.]

OH-HO! I see you are ready to SUBMIT to my kindness! WRETCHED FOOL! BE BLESSED!

[iamtetsuo]

[There's few words to describe the sheer chaos that erupts in Tetsuo's mind, turning his entire body into some wild hapless thing his brain has lost all control over. But the few that are adequate run thusly:

SHITIMGONNADIEAGAINADGGZFdfAdfdsAFFSJF;JNOOOOO

This is not submission. This is scrambling for any purchase he can grab hold of desperately like a cat trying to avoid the bathtub at all costs. This is a dog that heard 'vet' mentioned and took off on a mad dash for freedom. Something deep in his mind tripped the switch between depressed human being to wild animal, writing and thrashing to get out from under that pin.

Unfortunately for Tetsuo, he's spent most of half a year on a drug-addled bender across the US, or otherwise not eating, sleeping or doing anything well enough to give him much physical strength at this point. And all he's got to rely on is his horribly deteriorated physical capabilities.

Thrash all he wants, but he's not getting out of this unless Ikki lets him.]

[violentmotion]

[He can wait til he gets tired. It's cool.]

[iamtetsuo]

[Eventually the whirlwind of limbs dies down, panting from exertion and panic, eyes wide.

He tried. He failed. Again.

This is the part where he gets killed.

Again.

Right??]

[violentmotion]

[There's no help, no one seems to have come running at the dire struggle. If he even screamed, would anyone know? Maybe this death would have more dignity than the last, but it didn't make it any better.


Or Ikki could abruptly let go, roll off the bed and come up with the game system. His voice is muffled under the mask.]

... What? No flying types?

[iamtetsuo]

[He braces for Ikki to - ...to...



Randomly vanish, only to retrieve his still-running, somehow undamaged game.]

Wh- uh- no?

[No electric or rock either, just a fire, two normal types, a bug type and a water type of the useless flavor for a few more levels. SHAME HIM.]

[violentmotion]

Bob Sapp's balls DUDE!

Two normals!? Why do you have any! Here!

[He scoots back to the bed, already bringing the character back to a computer. JFC.]

[iamtetsuo]

[He just

stares.


Edges a bit back when Ikki returns. What? Why did it matter.

(Don't you criticize his pokemon satcholins!)]

[violentmotion]

[He's either oblivious to the skittishness or just straight up doesn't care. He has his back to the bed and the screen tilted up so that Tetsuo can look at what he's doing.]

You haven't taken the fighting gym, right? Flying and psychic is the way to go. You're gonna get trounced like this.

[iamtetsuo]

[If Ikki's watching, he's not happy about the mention of 'psychic.' At all. There's a bitter twist to his mouth, eyes hardening.

He's got a psychic thing in that PC, too, leveled some. Was that what was in that sixth space..? There's a handful of other things, too, most types; a flying type in there as well, though it's not been touched past capture.

No grass anything, though.]

'll be fine.

[He says, having lost already a few rounds to the OTHER gym]

[violentmotion]

[He tries to look back, but the gorilla mask gets in the way. HE PULLS IT OFF AND THROWS IT TO THE CORNER OF THE ROOM.]

Ehhh? But you can be BETTER than fine!

You can be the king of this world, uncontested!

[iamtetsuo]

[He's given up on such aspirations in reality, dreams (and wings) shattered with the clenching of a fist.

But then this guy goes and says something like that, getting his full attention. For a moment, there's a glint in his eye, a tiny spark.

Then it's gone.]

It's just a game.

[violentmotion]

Eh. They could show up here right?

One world at a time.

[He holds the game back up into the air, in Tetsuo's reach.]

[iamtetsuo]

Huh? I told you, it's just a game. It's not like it's real or anything.

[....reclaims his gameboy.]

[violentmotion]

You say that, but I met Mario and Luigi the other day.

We went through pipes and everything.

[iamtetsuo]

[Ikki, I'm so sorry.]

Who?

1/???

[violentmotion]

Exactly! I will let you touch the hand that touched the lege-

[violentmotion]

[Wait.]

[violentmotion]

[wat.]

[violentmotion]

You...

[violentmotion]

WHAT COLD AND UNFEELING WORLD WAS IT THAT YOU DIDN'T PLAY SUPER MARIO BROS!?!

DONE

[violentmotion]

Stay there.
