The zither vibrates with escaping notes

Who: Chie Hori ([personal profile] shuttermouse) and Shuu Tsukiyama ([personal profile] preybeforemeals)
Where: Goldenrod City
When: Evening of the 14th
Summary: Pointless chatter and breaking into abandoned buildings.
Rating: PG-13? Obligatory discussions of cannibalism warning.
Log:

[ It's not out of the ordinary for them to be up late, really, as they're prone to wander out to do stupid things at ungodly hours in the morning. But on some nights they're content to remain in Tsukiyama's gratuitously large bed, spending hours talking about things and/or playing with the Pokémon that are also in the bed with them, until they finally decide to go the fuck to sleep.

Tonight looks like it's going to be one of those nights. Chie is wearing her favourite pyjamas (which happen to be very cute and so pink you could die) and she's idly running her hand through her newly hatched Larvesta's mane of white fuzz. It's so soft and fluffy and warm and the moth thing seems to be enjoying the attention, occasionally making weird moth noises in Chie's general direction. ]


Tsukiyama-kun, what do you call a bee that eats other bees?

[ ...Apparently it's stupid jokes o'clock. ]

Hannibal Nectar.

[Tsukiyama sort of hates himself for the laugh that gets out of him; it's sudden and involuntary, the sort of thing that happens when you really obviously weren't expecting whatever the hell just happened, and it gets Alessia to give him the most patronizing look from where she's coiled up at the foot of the bed, because wow, really?

That said, though, tonight he's in a good mood and he's dressed like a disaster (because these lime green pants aren't going to wear themselves and he clearly gives no fucks if they clash with magenta shirts), and he settles quickly enough, settling where he's lying on his back on the bed; he rakes his hands back through his hair lightly and he's still smirking a bit - this is so stupid, Hori, he doesn't even.]


Unless it's a ghoul bee.

[Tsukiyama, don't you even - ]

Presumably beekaku-type.

[no]

Ahh, the best ones are like that, n'est-ce pas?

[Because clearly, it's been entirely too long since his ego has been insufferable.]
preybeforemeals: (AH... ♞ why did i ask about homestuck)

[personal profile] preybeforemeals 2015-10-15 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
What? No moreso than -

[...Wait.]

...Ah, I see.

[He wasn't expecting that, okay.]
preybeforemeals: (STUDY ♞ it's not stalking; it's flattery)

[HORI, OH MY GOD - ]

Where in the world do you even come up with all of these, that's awful...

[There's a laugh behind his words, though, the sort of aren't-we-terrible laugh that implies that it's not awful at all; it's nice, in a way, to just be hideously off-color once in a while, even if it still does have to be behind closed doors due to Miss Everett being in the house.]
preybeforemeals: (VICTOR ♞ you need some better pets)

[So cute he's gonna die, good lord...

That said, though, he glances up at that; he's not staring her down, exactly, just studying.]


Bikaku, I'd think. My first thought was perhaps ukaku, but I don't think that suits you as well.

...Well, that's a practical use for it if I've ever heard one, I'll admit that much.

[Hori, why.]

You're very unassuming - honestly, you're rather mundane in a lot of ways - so I can see where having no discernible strengths nor weaknesses suits you. However, there's inherent value in having a lack of either, if one knows how to utilize that to their advantage, and I think you would excel in that regard.

Assuming that you would be granted the ideal, I'd think that's appropriate.
preybeforemeals: (ARROGANCE ♞ mhmm sure she did)

[personal profile] preybeforemeals 2015-10-20 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
I doubt you would have the strength for one, anyway, just physically speaking.

[#tact]
preybeforemeals: (DEFUSE ♞ well it ain't your personality)

[personal profile] preybeforemeals 2015-10-20 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
Well, you wouldn't be half as cute, for one thing, so I should think not.
preybeforemeals: (AH... ♞ why did i ask about homestuck)

[personal profile] preybeforemeals 2015-10-20 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
Hopefully while he was still in his prime, you mean, he's decidedly less appealing now.

...It led off with Hannibal Nectar, and you were expecting otherwise...?

Ahh, but fine, fine. I wouldn't mind that, it's been a while.
