Need some rope, a large fishing hook and a pool. The deeper the better. If you can find this I'll be happy. +u+

[cryptic, but that's generally how it goes with him.]

And it's after this that Irezumi - or as he was better known "Smile" - decided to go for a walk. It was rather nice out and Irezumi was content to skip class for once and wander around. The tattoos on his face kind of attracted a lot of attention but he was used to it at this point.

That, and there was another point to this. He may or may not have heard that his dear sister was seeing someone and Irezumi may or may not want to...talk to this person. Or Sabitsuki about this. Either or.

I can at least locate the rope Dare I ask what this is for?

Long one please. Nothing dangerous. Just an experiment.

[...better hunt down the poor git who's the subject of this experiment...]

Did the other party agree to this experiment. Assuming there's another party involved. ... also can you give me an estimate about how much rope will be needed.

Maybe. It's going to be fun anyway :D

[that :D is not reassuring Irezumi...]

...about long enough to hang something over the pool from the hook.

[you can probably guess where this is going.]

I'll see what I can do.

[... meaning there's a good chance he won't, especially not if he finds out what it's for.]

So how've you been lately? [Casual conversation never hurt, right?]

Thank you!

[but you really should~]

I'm doing okay. This and that has happened but I'm okay. You?

[It all depends, it all depends... ~~Yeah, no, Smile's probably never going to see that rope~~]

Bored, mostly. Been playing games and doing schoolwork. And soccer. Not much other than that. Pretty good otherwise.

[~~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.]

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.

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.

[you're going to have to imagine him clapping.]

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

And after seeing that post over the network, Sabitsuki decides to go look for her dear, sweet older brother - he's missing a date with her blunt instrument, after all. Can't let him miss out on his appointments!

... Luckily it doesn't take her long to find him, so he'll be hearing her from down the hall, in... extremely informal Japanese, "{Irezumi! Where the hell did you wander off to!?}"

Oh god he knows where this is going. Irezumi can't help the burst of laughter that comes from his mouth and turns a corner at random.

As much as he'd like to keep his appointment, Irezumi has other business. Better run if you want to catch him!

"Damnit, don't run.." is all she manages to say through grit teeth as she books after him. Days like this is when she starts considering chaining him to her desk - at least then she can keep an eye on him!

And so she's bounding after him, armed with her ever trusty pipe (which has oddly not yet been confiscated), hoping - praying - he'll slow down enough for her to catch up. Because let's face it - he's way more fit than she'll ever be.

You'll probably need really really thick chains to keep him in once place Sabitsuki. He's like a constantly smiling Houdini.

But he does slow down a little bit to give her a chance to keep up. Irezumi knows that she probably can't keep up if he goes full tilt and as much as he doesn't want to be brained with a pipe, he also didn't want to make her sick again.

Sorry, but Irezumi slowing down means Sabitsuki speeding up - pushing herself just a tad over her limit so she can get close! But this also means overworking herself enough for some drawbacks - and she ends up tripping onto the carpet, effectively knocking the wind out of her and sending her into a small coughing fit.

Can she just lay there, curled up on her side like that? Is that a thing that's okay? Because after that she's pretty sure she wants to just lay there.

Oh crap! The minute that Irezumi heard his sister fall he spins around and makes his way back. Oh man, don't be a relapse or something, please don't be something he'd have to get the maid for...

"Sabitsuki?! You alright?"

Yeah... that doesn't fly with her. Even while she still coughs, she reaches out and hooks a hand around his ankle once he's close enough. There may be a little blood from how hard she'd been coughing but hell if that's going to stop her!

... Well, alright, so she's been essentially stopped. All she manages to really do is sit up a bit with that hand around her older brother's ankle and wheeze as she catches her breath again.

"I'm... fine. Fine."

"You're sure?" He knows his sister sometimes (okay, often) said she was fine when she wasn't. Irezumi wasn't stupid and he decided to bend down to check on her in favor of trying to get out of her grip.

Well - as soon as he's close enough then, she's grabbing that pipe again and giving it one mighty swing - or as mighty as she can manage - and letting it hit him square on the... well, hopefully the head, but it might have been his shoulder. And then she lets herself collapse, letting go of her brother in favor of rolling onto her back with the dumbest, proudest, most tired looking grin.

"Got you."

She might need to be carried back after that, but goddamn if she isn't proud of herself right now.

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.

"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?"

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?
