17th Confession [Video][Daytime]

[notabluesbro]

[The feed seems abrupt, from black-to-color in an instant as it falls and flips open to show a... snow-drenched area...? No trees showing—just an expanse of bright blue sky and white off the edges. And then a noise nearby, off-screen—]

THUD.

[Something falls across the screen, and it's not quiet for much after that, because this is a stunned-turned-angry preacherman appearing in the video feed, back turned to the camera as he grabs the side of his head in complete shock. Or maybe it's rage. Or maybe, just maybe, it's both. One may be able to figure out from the snow, whipping winds, and barren area that Wolfwood is in fact on a mountainside somewhere.]

WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?!

[Last he remembered... he was just walking around town, same ol' same ol'... and then some brown-haired kid glared funny at him and he was gone. WHY DID THIS HAPPEN WHAT DID HE DO—]



Ah—Achtoo!



[ ..... Thanks, Katie. |D]

Maybe it's both. Sometimes that stuff depends on the day.

[notabluesbro]

[A snicker.]

Only been around for about a month and you know that much already, huh?

[Of course he remembers her! |Db]

[notaboy-gtfo.livejournal.com]

[ She remembers him, too! Or will more properly when she thinks to connect him to Spiky, the distinctly childlike child. Don't mind her suspicious tone while she wonders how you know she's been around this long. :|a ]

Experience is experience no matter where you end up.

[notabluesbro]

That's true: it definitely happens anywhere you go. But Luceti has such a unique brand of annoyances, don't you think?

[notaboy-gtfo.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they're special, alright. Maybe you should stick around out there and see if it helps you avoid 'em. [ GENUINE SUGGESTION. ]

[notabluesbro]

Ha, I'd love to, but I doubt I'll last long over here. I'm not very good at dealing with the cold.

[Wait until summer hits. He'll be prancing through heatwaves like a champ.]

[notaboy-gtfo.livejournal.com]

[ fffffff. she'll want to kick him. ]

At least you know before accidentally freezing to death. [ YOU'LL TOTALLY BE ALL RIGHT, GUY. You got people coming to pick you up...eventually. Or something. RIGHT? >.>a ]

[notabluesbro]

I guess that would be... one positive to an overall negative situation.

[sigh]

Whelp, no sense in crying over split milk. Time to climb this thing and see if I fall to my immediate doom or not.

[He's surprisingly calm about this, ngl. After a while, things seem less worth yelling and waving your arms frantically over. Somewhat.]

[notaboy-gtfo.livejournal.com]

[ ...very impressive :|b ]

Good luck with that.

[notabluesbro]

Aw, gee, the concern in your voice is just warming my freezing little heart.

[notaboy-gtfo.livejournal.com]

If you can survive getting tossed out there, it won't kill you to get back, either. [ Right? Right. ]

[notabluesbro]

Hey, getting tossed it a hell of a lot different than trekking all the way back in snow, I'll have you know. Spare a little sympathy for a poor old preacherman...

[notaboy-gtfo.livejournal.com]

I could spare sympathy, but it won't make you climb any better.

[notabluesbro]

You never know, Smellerbee—I might just turn into a mountain-climbing champion when I'm fueled by sympathy.

[notaboy-gtfo.livejournal.com]

And you know my name how?

[notabluesbro]

[one sec, climbing down this mountain.]

You gave it to me, of course—when I walked you to the shop and helped you get your face-paint. 'Spikey', I think you called me?

1/2

[notaboy-gtfo.livejournal.com]

[ So not cool. No more kid-buddy. ]

[notaboy-gtfo.livejournal.com]

[ Heading for recovery. ]

Tell me you got taller.

[notabluesbro]

Much taller!

[Legally allowed to drink > Being Kid-buddies.]

[notaboy-gtfo.livejournal.com]

Congratulations. [ Sticking until she meets Vash outside of donut form, bb. ]

...might've been easier to do all that climbing if you were still scrawny, though.

[notabluesbro]

Aw, come on; I've got plenty more muscle for hanging off ledges like an idiot now, y'know.

[notaboy-gtfo.livejournal.com]

It'll weigh you down in the long run. [ Smellerbee has designated herself the popcorn-gif official of this thread. ] Used to doing any long-term climbing?

[notabluesbro]

[He laughs, fumbling and skidding a little on the rocky side of the mountainside.]

Not at all!

[notaboy-gtfo.livejournal.com]

[ ...Spiky is totally nuts 8| ]

Well, you've got a great attitude about it.

[notabluesbro]

Of course! [grunt] If I don't then where do I stand in getting anything done...?

[My fingers are going numb and all that jazz, but I ain't stoppin' now! >:|]
