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]

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?

[ 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! >:|]

[notaboy-gtfo.livejournal.com]

You stand in getting it done and complaining about it the whole time. [ WAY TO BE, MAN. ]

[notabluesbro]

Good point. Does that mean I should start complaining your ear off?

[notaboy-gtfo.livejournal.com]

It wouldn't be the first time someone kept whining to me here. [ Not that she didn't complain about their constant complaining :| ]

[notabluesbro]

[He laughs, strained from his working on getting down from ledge to ledge.]

You have my sympathy, then. I happen to hate whiners.

[notaboy-gtfo.livejournal.com]

You get used to 'em. [ Growing up with a good number of boys, she was bound to hear a lot. And do a lot of it. ]

[notabluesbro]

Surrounded yourself with a lot of complainers?

[notaboy-gtfo.livejournal.com]

Just my kinda luck.

[notabluesbro]

Hey, look at the bright side: having those types around you will make you mentally stronger, right?

[notaboy-gtfo.livejournal.com]

That's the only reason I keep putting up with them. [ ...okay, lies. ]

[notabluesbro]

They're your fighting buddies, right?

[He remembers the face paint thing, and all that jazz.]

[notaboy-gtfo.livejournal.com]

That's right. [ fighting buddies, roommates, patients that she punches to keep from straining injuries they don't know how to treat properly, idiots, friends, family.

...she misses them. ] Lotta trouble, but they could be worse.

[notabluesbro]

Ha... I think we all have those kinds of friends [vash] . It's hard to say whether or not they're punch-worthy, endearing, or both.
