The pipe hits his shoulder and Irezumi grunts, far far to used to getting hit with the pipe, and sits down suddenly.

"That wasn't very nice Sabi."

You be proud of yourself later. Big brother looks annoyed right now.

Can manipulate minds, yes.

[For all that he's sorry that he's scared her, he knows that it's better to be honest about it, or it just seems like there's something he's trying to hide. But at least he can try to minimize the damage.]

But I've got much better control nowadays, so I don't do anything except turn myself invisible to people unless, you know, it's an emergency. [Or he wants to buy booze, but never mind.]

[That's not very nice.]

There isn't much to do around here is there? Think a school full of mutants would have something happen.

[no that he wants anything to happen, if for Sabitsuki.]

"Yeah, well, I'm not... very nice." is the only answer he's going to get at that, since now she's too worn out to really do anything. You run way, way too fast for her, insane-onii-san.

Ah... but she remembered what this was all about. "Smile... don't you go hurting anyone I like, okay?"

[personal profile] smilingnightmare 2013-02-12 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
You'd run fast too if someone was trying to beat you with a pipe. But that's not the issue here. The guy in question was and his relationship with Sabitsuki.

That, if Irezumi didn't like beating around the bush as often as he did.

"You're nicer than you think you are. And why would I?

She scoffs, before rolling back over so she can sit on her knees. Finally, she's starting to catch her breath again. "You're too overprotective..."

Not that it really explains what she means, but it's close.

"I'm not going to hurt anyone...."

He says that but with his usual grin in place - always always in place- it's hard to tell if Irezumi means it. That was always people's problems with him, not being able to tell if he's kidding or not.

And so Sabitsuki decides to stare him down a bit - she, out of everyone, knows this boy the best, and even then its hard to tell at times whether or not he's being serious...

We can usually find stuff to do off campus, but stuff does happen around here from time to time... Can't have things quiet for too long, I've noticed.

He stares back but Irezumi has to look down after a bit. His mutation would kick in if he kept up eye contact and he didn't want it to trigger now.

"You make me sound like a cartoon super villain. I'm not dunking anyone into a pool full of crocodiles."

He just wanted to dunk them into normal water. More safe that way.

Another scoff, and she shakes her head - maybe, just maybe, smiling a tad.
"You're the closest thing to a cartoon super villain I know, Irezumi. Just keep it in mind, okay? Don't scare off my friends."

Because, you know, having friends is a whole new thing to her and all.

He knows it's a new thing which is why he sometimes gets Brotherly Bad News Vibes from people. He wanted to make sure they were good for your health.

"I'll try not to, but I'm a scary guy."

His tattoos did hide the scars underneath and ever though they just made it look his his tattoos were botched, they made him look scary as hell. The constant smiling probably didn't help.

[personal profile] smilingnightmare 2013-02-12 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
Eh, what can you do? Generally seems to happen when everything gets quiet after the last big thing.

We went a month without an attack once.

... I guess this says something about the security around here.

[personal profile] smilingnightmare 2013-02-12 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
[you're going to have to imagine him clapping.]

Nice. You'd think a school like this had better security.

[Easy to do. Kirino'd be doing it himself.]

You'd think. It'd be funny if it weren't so sad.

Not everything from a country is culture.

[...actually now he wonders if that means that she would call McD's culture.]

No but it's still a part of it. Like, I don't know, baseball and apple pie.

Of course we do, it's a stereotypical part of our culture. Together with baseball, oppressing the natives and the right to carry guns.

That last bit is a joke. Kinda.

... That's it. She's just going to lean forward and hug him, then. Because scary guy or not, this is still her older brother who cares about her; he's just being stupid for her benefit. Or something.

"Just remember to smile, okay? And no water torture."

Which gets a bop on the head. A normal one with a hand, not a pipe.

Garry | Ib | hello he's a teacher

[personal profile] whythistho 2013-02-13 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
[network]

Good morning, all of you! Or, at least, most of you. Hopefully I have some of you left!
Anyway; so as not to make those... er, gone have anything to make up when they... get back, we won't be doing anything of consequence for the next week! Or so. Something around there, possibly more, hopefully much less!
Today, I hope you don't mind bringing in a few blankets! I have quite a bit planned that I'm sure you all will like!

[action]

Before class - which is usually centered around painting and other forms of wet media - Garry can be found setting up his "big plans" for today; the tables and supplies now ring the room, and he's gotten as many pillows as he's been allowed to take all piled on the floor, with a projection screen hanging on one of the walls.
... Not only that, but one of the tables also seems to be lined with refreshments.

If you want to help a teacher out, feel free - he's still moving furniture and whatnot, after all!

Kirino had a little habit of getting to class far too early... even with the load he's carrying.

... In other words, all the spare blankets from his and Apollo's room are folded up nicely and stacked in his arms when he walks through the door. Someone might want to take one or two of those off his hands, particularly the thicker ones... with as big of a stack Kirino has there, he... probably can't see over the top of it...

"Oh! Goodness, goodness - come here, dear, over here, let me take a few of those." Which is all said as he speeds across the room to take a few off the top! Quite a load for such a little guy!

He'll take them over to the pillow pile then, stacking them nicely in the center for when other students arrive. "That's quite a lot! I hope you have one left on your bed!"

"I just took the spare ones--Apollo doesn't use blankets half the time anyway. I'm sure he wouldn't mind a few of them missing." If he were even there. Not that it particularly mattered.

"I see why you said to bring blankets." Don't mind Kirino, he's just going to swipe a macaron off the refreshment table.
