Oh, hush. >8(
What do you mean??? I thought you liked it
[NOT ANY OF THE POINTS HERE, SON.]
no never
it's just also not super serious you know? you can't be like "oh, i'm so sorry for your loss, sugartits （´︵`）" or "sugartits, i accidentally ran over your cat (≧Д≦)" or something
but ibuki really doubts you're gonna be thaaat serious anyway! (´∇ﾉ` )ノ you're lucas, after all! lucas can only be so serious!
no subject
But, a'ight, a'ight! To business!]
Oh come on I know you get me, if life's not fun then it's not shit!
Why would I wanna be serious all the time???
[Implying you're serious even half of the time.]
But anyway yeah this isn't heavy stuff or anything like that
It's just things!
Things that just might perk your ears up. :)
no subject
but what's up? what's new? what's the 411?? what's the dealio, daddy-o!? lay it on me!!
ibuki is here to listen to your woes and not-so-woes!!
that's why fog-chan gave me such big werewolf ears, after all!! ∪･ω･∪
no subject
But ok, no woes here
So for the first thing, I decided I'm changing my name.
You and me have been here for a year now, I'm a new man!
I was gonna ask you how "Lucas Cerberus" sounds, you write songs and stuff so you name things
For the second part though!
I found out where monsters go when they go poof. :)
I'm setting up to take a trip down there next month, getting a sub and some gear and equipment worked on and all that
And I want you to come with!!
no subject
"lucas cerberus", huh...
i dunnooo, it sounds a little weird with the same end noise!
maybe if you stick something else in the middle it'll roll off the tongue better? ┐(´A`)┌
buuut!! as for your trip!!!
where is it? and why do you need a sub? do you mean like a submarine??? (○o○)
no subject
I mean I was thinking Lucas Cerberus because that's what my screen name looks like but no one even uses middle names
Guess I still gotta get back to you on that.
What else would I mean, though??
It's at the bottom of a place called Lake Fors!
I didn't tell you about the whole sea of star things did I, it's what I was looking for when I was a fish man!
Didn't find it but a little horsy's gonna point me the way
no subject
like adding seasoning to a dish as a finishing touch, or making sure your rhymes are on point before letting them out into the world!
[This metaphor only sort of makes sense.]
a little horsey?
oh, like a kelpie, right? you're friends with kelpies??? ('◯')
is it a little kelpie? like, a teeny tiny one? that sounds totally adorable!!
ibuki's only seen really big kelpies before, like sonia! she's SOOOO TAAAAALL （○Ａ○）
no subject
My middle initial was J but fuck that, I'm starting over there too
I wouldn't say friends, I hardly know this one, but I mean a kelpie alright!
Come to think of it the only kelpies I've run into around are Sonia and this one so I don't know how big they usually get but this one's smaller than me at least!
Wait
Actually no, I bumped into another one who wasn't the biggest guy I've seen but he mostly looked pretty human! Folks who haven't really changed probably don't count
no subject
ibuki doesn't know many american j names! (・□・；) there's gotta be a lot more, right?
wait, josh! that's one, right???
kelpies come in a wide range of colors and sizes... so says ibuki, who's only met one in person!! (*≧▽≦)ﾉｼ))
no subject
But, well, two of the above names are related, and NNNNGGGGGGGHHHH...]
Eh it doesn't matter
I'm picking something else.
After all, look at J names
They're fucking boring, right??
[Good save, bro.
And haw-haw...
...Nah, he -- actually does crinkle his nose 'n twitch up a smile for a scrape of a laugh through his teeth, for the last part...]
For the trip, though!
Doesn't that sound cool??? It's some really big shit!
So are you in????
no subject
[Spoilers: she doesn't have a middle name.]
that trip does sound MEGA cool... but would there be room in the sub? and like, air???
or is it a dead person's sub, with no air?
ibuki's not so sure she could go if your sub is a one-seater with no air...
no subject
You pretty much told me Japanese kids don't have them
[She showed her hand too early on the twist.]
Sure there's air! It was made for humans, I'm just making some improvements! It's got oxygen tanks
You and me wouldn't have to worry about it getting cramped at all if you hung out as a fox or something!
[Translation: come with meeeeee, it's gonna be great.]
no subject
buuut hmmmmmmmmm...
is there a way to sneak some music onboard? not in the form of ibuki, of course! like, a boombox would work, right?
oh, and!! is there a way we could catch fish while in the sub!?!?
it's got windows and stuff, it wouldn't be hard to make some kinda fish catching thingy, right!??!?!
no subject
Man though have you ever been on a road trip with a busted radio, if I can't install one in this thing by the time I head down then PLEASE god bring a boombox
And holy shit the kelpie chick said something like the fish down there have teeth or noses or whatever like KNIVES, I don't care what they look like yet I wanna hang that shit on my wall
I guess we'd need like shark bait or a net or something???
I don't know how big they are yet but something's gotta work
As long as they wouldn't weigh the sub down too much but you know what they say about crossing bridges when you get to them!
no subject
wouldn't you need bait AND a net???
and what's shark bait made of, anyway? isn't it just other fish's guts? are we gonna have to go fishing first so we can get a lot of fish guts???
ibuki's got a whole lot of not-fish-guts on hand, but she has no idea if those fish would be attracted to it... do you think they like cow guts or pig guts or people guts?
no subject
His hands "whoa" up steadily and claws spread back over the keyboard. Eyes fully-open again!]
I think so??
Sharks aren't picky though right?? These ones probably aren't SHARKS accounting for that this is a lake we're talking about but if they eat meat then all guts should be good guts!
Jesus catching that much fish for shark bait would be a pain in the ass anyway, I haven't gone fishing since I was a kid so for all I know Ryslig fish bite better but who'd wanna spend days standing around trying to get enough fish for guts one catch at a time
no subject
ibuki thinks it sounds like fun! (^･ω･^=)y"
sitting out on an itty bitty boat with her all-time favorite person, singing whatever we got stuck in our heads to pass the time while we wait for fish to bite, and then bringing'em all home so we can gut and filet those bad boys...
ibuki also knows how to grill a mean fish, for the record!
her specialty doesn't lay JUST with nikujaga and horumonyaki, despite what people may tell you!!!
no subject
Oh man Ibuki I can't even EAT
Every time I've tried I just wound up hurling all over the place
[ALSO. Guess who knows what neither of the other foods she mentioned are. 8,)b]
no subject
oh yeah...
you mean you can't eat anything, right? is it just EATING you can't do?
can you like drink stuff???
ibuki's been thinking about taking you to a cafe that's started selling cute lil werewolf pastries and fakey "blood" tea, but if you can't have any, that'd just be sad...
no subject
That. That second part comes in.
He's -- a bit blank and slack-jawed for a second or two! That -- that sure sounds like date stuff.
Datey-date stuff. And yeah, they're... they are dating, but hoo-hoooooo, this feels so frickin' new and weirdly in-his-chest thrilling from the girl who hasn't used the word "boyfriend"...!]
Nah I can drink stuff just fine!
It tastes better with some blood in it and if I don't down it right away it feels weird going down if I don't shake it up first but it doesn't make me sick or anything
[And as for the rest!
Well.]
You want us to go out on a date?
[Wow, now, sonny! Don't go assuming shit!]
no subject
hey hey heyheyhey!
hey hey!
hey.
ibuki never used the d-word.
( -` 3´-)
... but yes.
no subject
-- Flick back over to the monitor with his posture partially re-straightening, there, and HELLO, DOLLY, his grin twists back in ear-to-ear as he practically inflates straightened -- ]
Well haha oh my god what are we waiting for??????
This place is open at night, right???
When were you gonna do this??? I could stand to take a night off of the underwater ops work and YOU got something to show me!! Let's get those calendars all marked in!!!!
his face is not a dateable one.
It's not like she's taking him out sightseeing and then to a fancy love hotel or something, SHEESH --]
uhhh ibuki didn't plan that far ahead! but it's not gonna last suuuuper long, something about it being a "springtime monster combo?"
i have no idea what werewolves and vampires have to do with springtime, but it still looks super cute, and ibuki loooves her some tea and pastries!!
so maybe we could go tonight, if you're hankering for a break so bad!
[A pause, before -]
OH WAIT
maybe it's cause werewolves and vampires are always the monsters in those dorky teen romance dramedies??
springtime is the season of love, after all!! especially among the cute and perky and youthful, like ibuki!!
but don't take that out of context, of course!!!!
AND YET...
No don't worry don't worry, your secrets are safe with me!!
[What... secrets...]
But hell yeah let's go out tonight!!!
Man if we set the date ahead then I was thinking I could come up with other things we could do but all I can think of is movies, if they have horror movies out here then they're probably all the old timey ones where nothing BIG happens.
