Seventy-Ninth Explosion
[Voice]
All that snow and not even a single yeti! Not even a yuki-onna?! I mean come on, this is the perfect chance for an interesting experiment and it's not even used?!
Oi! Oi! Did anyone see either of those? Maybe Jack Frost? I mean there was a Jack O'Lantern a while back, so there should be something like this for payback for all this stupid snow...
Rena! Where the hell're you? [A pause, and then someone might hear Shiki whine-yelling something in the background. And then Haruki groans audibly before he tags on, as an afterthought-] Neku, you too. How's things there?
SOS-Brigade, report! Statuses, now!
[and then there's a chirp from Sekai in the background and he closes his journal]

[Action]
[Action!!]
[Clearly, this explains everything ever. As he wanders over to Sekai there to pat his ever-growing head]
[Action!!!]
[Oh it does, Shiki just thinks that's a dumb excuse. She watches the two of them a bit more.] Besides, if you two had swapped places I'd make sure he asked about you too.
[Action!!!]
[A groan there as he sits his butt on the ground there and glares at the fire.]
[Action!!!]
[Action!!!]
[Action!!!]
[Action!!!]
[Action!!!]
[Action!!!]
[But after Haruki says that, Sekai chirps out "dumbass!" - the bird likes the copy words a lot]
[Action!!!]
[Action!!!]
[And Sekai, wisely, remains silent this time. Staring at Shiki though]
[Action!!!]
[Action!!!]
[Action!!!]
[Action!!!]
[And now Sekai echoes "exhibitionist" just ftlulz... albeit the way Sekai says it is more questioning as if to say "what the hell is that?"]
[Action!!!]
How am I being a verbal exhibitionist!?
[Action!!!]
[Action!!!]

[Action!!!]
Fine, fine, whatever.

[And with a sigh he's going to pat Sekai one more time before shuffling to go get another log for the fire from his stock in the dining room. He's back in like no time at all obviously]
[Action!!!]
[Action!!!]
[Tossing the log in the fire now]
[Action!!!]
[Action!!!]
He knocked my karaoke in the hotel.
[Action!!!]
...except what the hell Haruki?]
...what.
[Action!!!]
[>|
Sekai, meanwhile, is going to look up at Shiki, and then look over at Haruki, and then back up at Shiki, content to be silent for now]
[Action!!!]
[Action!!!]
Anyway, why's that guy matter?
[Action!!!]
I guess he doesn't, other than the fact he's always there.
[Action!!!]
[Action!!!]
[Action!!!]
[Action!!!]
[Action!!!]
[Which is only said here to make him asking Neku too that much funner. Sekai at this point looks up at Haruki. What are these "balls" he keeps talking about? He doesn't say anything though... yet]
[Action!!!]
[Action!!!]
And Haruki, of course, answers flatly with:] His testicles.
[...Which Sekai still looks at him confused about. Shiki, want to save the day]
[Action!!!]
[Action!!!]
Pecking at Mr. Mew's foot]
[Action!!!]
[Action!!!]
Oi! What the hell, Shiki?!
[Action!!!]
[Action!!!]
Shiki, don't be stupid! This is the only warm room in the house!
[...well aside from the magically heating shower (tm) on the second floor or the magically heating bath water (tm) on the first. But even those are going cold fast right now]
[Action!!!]
[Action!!!]
No, you stop being an idiot!
[Action!!!]
I'm not being an idiot!
[Action!!!]
Are too!
[Action!!!]
What the hell are you doing!?
[Action!!!]
[Oh man, she's light. Wow...]
[Action!!!]
Re: [Action!!!]
[Action!!!]
[Action!!!]
...Actually doesn't hurt all that much. He bears it like a champ. Unlike Neku, he's got abs of steel... well that and pecs. Pecs are more important here]
[Action!!!]
freak outcrysulk in peace, damn you.][Action!!!]
Oi! Oi! Oi! What the hell, Shiki?!
[Action!!!]
[Action!!!]
[Action!!!]
[Action!!!]
Lost balance so he's literally throwing her at random as a way of release. Sorry Shiki]
What the- Hey!
[Action!!!]
[Action!!!]
Whatever.
[Action!!!]
[Action!!!]
[Action!!!]
[Action!!!]
[Duh, Shiki. Of course, after answering that he stands... and begins to follow her]
[Action!!!]
[Action!!!]
You're talking about some other guy's dick while snuggling into my bed? That's classy.
[Action!!!]
[Action!!!]
Tch.
[Fine. You know what? He's going to leave and sit by that warm fire. Screw you too]
[Action!!!]
[Action!!!]
Because he doesn't even answer]
[Action!!!]
[Action!!!]
Yeah.

I think you're right. Yetis are fairly docile, quite peaceful really, very in tune to nature.
no subject
no subject
Wh-what! Oh! Heavens no! Nothing ever like that happened. I-I've merely heard stories, er yes, stories. I mean one can merely deduce right? Although I don't know how good my memory is; I'm quite along in my years...ah the joys of youth.
no subject
Yeah, yeah. Stories are obviously somewhat true, but there's bound to be inborn errors just based on word of mouth and all. I mean some vampire stories claim they can't cross running water; that's just dumb.
no subject
Mis-translations and the writers gift of ingenuity by adding their own twists to it also is a factor, I'd think. Really? I've never heard of such a thing! [ He's laughing. ] That is a bit ludicrous.
no subject

no subject
[A grunt and then a shrug there] I mean what, are vamps so atheist that the idea of God or Jesus or whatever kills them? And what about say a Chinese vampire?
no subject
It depends where the myth originates from I believe. Normal vampires were thought to be demons which possessed their victims, drank their blood and were conceived during the time of witches. Even Russian folklore depicts them as being witches that rebelled against the church. So you can see where the crosses come into play. Being undead, impure creatures of the night also made the cross a mighty foe to them.
Jiang Shi are a bit different, but similar cultural aspects are incorporated into their folklore as well. Like using rice and seeds to impede them.

[But he's worried about the same thing; she is chummy with Minato, and Fina lives with Minato...
Oddly enough though, he's more concerned that Minato will (accidentally, that is) kill Rena more than Renna hurting either of them]

[And now Haruki slams his fist on the table he's been reading this on, before you might hear in the background him yelling at Shiki in the background. He's carrying his book though, so it should be audible as-]
Shiki! I'm going out!

[And with that, H leaves the room. However, as he does there is one, tiny, tiny covert action which most if not all the people in the room are sure to miss. As he walks out of the room, he happened to pause to put on his shades. To be fair, the next room over had windows and the glare from the sun is pretty strong. However, when he did put on his shades, his hand happened to brush a bit on the table next to him - a small bedside-type table- where a book is laying open.
It's actually Emil's journal, which H took the liberty of taking and writing an entry - a voice entry - filtered to himself in. When he brushes past, he clicks the space needed to set off it recording.
And after that, he silently goes into the next room. To listen in on this conversation as long as the journal will record it using his own journal. He can't afford to miss information at this point. This might be outside the law - if you ignore the Patriot Act, that is - but there really isn't a law here, and he needs to level the playing field just a little. He's done worse before, after all]
no subject
I came to pick up Rena.
[...But with the armed cop here, he knows that he can't]
no subject
no subject
I'm sorry... [ She says quietly, her apology heartfelt, although her voice lacks the same volume as the intensity of this sentiment. ]
no subject
In fact, it makes him take a hard step forward... before balls his hands into fists at his sides, and making his face a mask of rage to try to hide his deep seated fear - and pain, and sadness - about this situation]
no subject
Stop. [and that is very clearly an order.]
no subject
no subject
But there's a man with a gun here - a man he doubts he can take in a fight if it comes to that as a result - and as such he can't take Rena. He bites his lip but he doesn't have a response here. Mostly because he's trapped and he's not going to be in this elements any longer if he can help it...
But he knows he can't. Not unless- but no, he doesn't even know how to do that]
no subject
We all want to help Rena-san. [...] Please tell us what you know.
no subject
She agrees with what Minato said. She would do anything to help Rena and she nods wordlessly before looking down, not wanting to aggravate Haruki again by speaking out and saying anything else to upset him. ]
no subject
[That's flatly. It's... trying to keep in his emotions on this, but he grunts a little before... he shrugs. He doesn't know what to do here, but he knows he doesn't want to tell them.]
no subject
[Even if there is nothing they can do - which he doesn't believe - there have to be signs.]
no subject
I... um I hadn't seen her like that for a while and then it happened so suddenly.
no subject
"Triggers." Haruki turns and looks at Minato with a looks he's probably not seen since Haruki slugged him all those months ago: honest rage-born seeming hatred. He's glaring. His eyes are really mad-looking. And...]
And there's nothing you [Clearly to imply Minato in particular] can do about it.
no subject
[He keeps his eyes on Haruki, no rage in his own but quiet determination. There's a lot he will sacrifice for friends, and many times he'll back down to keep them happy. But right now, it's Haruki's feelings against Rena and Fina.
If Haruki throws a punch, this time he won't take it.]

[Voice for Neku, Action for Haruki]
I am not!
[Voice]
[Voice for Neku, Action for Shiki]
[And then he's throwing the pillow right back. Because he caught it. You also might catch Sekai chirping. It's not translated over the journals (so Neku can't hear it) to Shiki will hear him saying "Are you?"]
[Voice for Neku, Action for Haruki]
Neku where are you anyway?
[Voice]
[That should be obvious.]
[Voice for Neku, Action for Shiki]
[A grunt and then Sekai chirps again. To Shiki, she might hear him saying "I was confused!" - he's finally starting to progress to real sentences]
[Voice for Neku, Action for Haruki]
[She just stares at the bird there.] Seriously, you're weirding me out.
Is it just you and Mr. H?
[Voice]
[Voice for Neku, Action for Shiki]
[Blink. What why?]
[Voice for Neku, Action for Haruki]
Ugh, seriously? That sounds really fun.
[Voice]
[He probably sounds a little off right now.]
Voice for Neku, Action for Shiki]
So has he touched Neku's balls?
[Voice for Neku, Action for Haruki]
[Voice]
[What the hell you guys.]
[Voice]

Neku, tell Mr. H I said hi, okay? [Yeah, totally excluding Joshua for now.] You're still snowed in, right?
