4th Rise of the Phoenix ஜ Voice/Action

Uhm... Smoker, uhm... I was wondering, could I move in with you? I know how to take care of myself well enough to not be a bother.

[That will reach him, right? Whenever he checks the books, hopefully soon. Ikki is inwardly dying due embarrassment for asking and hesitation. He can be alone quite well but... He doesn't like it that much to be always alone. He likes the marine well enough even if he has only met him once, may as well ask him first before asking in general if anyone would take him in as Giles had suggested.

After a moment the kid talks again, just for the sake of it.]

Hi, Luceti... Anyone there?

[He's not messing up, right?

Meanwhile he will be exploring the town, eventually ending at the Seventh Heaven to get some food and something to drink.]

[ooc: Ikki is ~~still~~ affected by the event and a kid, he's from right when Pandora was trying to kidnap Shun, so he's fairly young and without the anger issues he has when older. And will remain this way till the end of the event. Tags will come from

Yeah, of course kiddo.

You wouldn't be a bother anyway.

Where are you now? -- Tarantara.

[Ikki would sigh in relief upon hearing that, but that's not something he does, so he just does it inwardly. He puts him a confident smile.]

I'm where I woke up first here. The tall houses, the number 5, room...

[Uh... He doesn't know what number it is, or rather how to read it so have a "24" written carefully copying the sign in the door.]

Ah, all right. You sure you want to stay with me?

Sure! I wouldn't ask if I wasn't sure.

[Who do you think he is? An unsure child? Because no, he's not hesitant, he didn't doubt you would let him stay with you either. Not at all.]

Yeah, all right then. You mind doing another store run with me? You can help me pick up things you like to eat.

I don't mind at all. But I'm not picky with food, where do you want me to go?

Just meet me outside and I'll come pick you up. Unless you're already in town?

Nop, I'm at my room... Well, the room where I woke up when I arrived here. I'll see you out of the building then?

Yup! Remember my jacket? I'll be wearing that, so easy to spot.

I remember. But you're tall and big to be easy to spot already.

[The kid will get out of the place with a small bag and wait for Smoker anyway. In his bag there's some clothing that he got in the stores, but really nothing from the apartment as it is given how doesn't recognize half of the things there. Specially the big metallic box that sits on one side of the living room, though no one has come to claim the place yet so he assumed that maybe that's part of the decoration or something.

See chibi Ikki, standing outside the building, a bit properly dressed for the cold, with a bag and holding his journal.]

Hah, thanks for that kid.

[Stomps along in heavy boots and gently ruffles Ikki's head when he gets there.] All ready to go?

[Smiles and nods.]

Yeah! I don't have anything else. Where do we go first?

Not a problem. Traveling light is best.

Groceries first I think.

Okay, I'll help with the bags.

Thanks kiddo. So what do you feel like tonight? Something hot?

Warm food is always nice. I don't mind what it is... But maybe some meat?

[Laughs.]

Meat it is. Maybe some teriyaki.

[He blinks as he realizes something, have some staring.]

Tarantara?

... Damn it. Is that still going on? I was hoping it'd worn off.

Tarantara~.

[Sorry but... He's a kid, he's going to laugh a bit here.]

What's that?

[Laughs himself because he can't help finding it cute.]

Part of a song apparently. It won't leave me alone. Keeps slipping out no matter what I do.

It's funny.

[Still chuckling, but he's not laughing at you Smoker, promise.]

You know the full song? Or just that part?

Sadly.

[Clears his throat to sing it because what the hell, not like he can escape it.]

When the foeman bears his steel
-Tarantara, tarantara
We uncomfortable feel
-Tarantara
And we find the wisest thing
-Tarantara, tarantara
Is to slap our chests and sing
-Tarantara
For when threatened with the meutes
-Tarantara, tarantara
And your heart is in your boots
-Tarantara
There is nothing brings it round, like the trumpet's martial sound
Like the Trumpet's Martial Sound!
-Tarantara, tarantara, tarantara, tarantara, tarantara, tarantara, tarantara, tarantara, tarantara

[That is as far as you can get Smoker to go however.]

[He didn't really expect him to start singing but he's not going to complain. Smoker will get a chorus on the "tarantara" parts after the third verse, see? Ikki too has now something to feel mortified for. Not that he minds it in his current state.]

You sing pretty well, Smoker!

Huh, you think so? You're not bad yourself kid.

The song suits you too, do marines use trumpets too?

Heh, they sounds a little cowardly from the song, but the tarantara sounds more like marching to me, so there's that.

And yeah, sometimes. Not in battle though. That would just be distracting.

I don't think you can be a coward anyway. The tarantara was what suits you, it's the easiest part to remember.

Yeah, it's not too bad once you get used to it. Tarantara.

[Huh. This kid looks like he could use someone to talk to.]

Hey there. Yeah, we're out here.

[That's a voice he doesn't know. Ikki didn't really expect anyone answering besides Smoker because, well he had called for Smoker after all.]

I know you are out there. It would be silly to think you're inside the book.

[Attempting to sound mature, because now that he thinks about it again maybe he came off as weak and childish before? It's not too late to shake off that impression, right? He has to be mature and responsible even if Shun isn't here.]

Who are you?

Yeah, I guess that was a silly way for me to reply. But either way. The name's Adell. How about yours?

Hm, I'm Ikki.

[Pause.]

It's my first time using the books to talk.

Nice to meet you, Ikki. Yeah, it's... a little weird talking to a book at first. But you get used to it surprisingly fast!

It's weird, but easy. Giles taught me to use them.

I'm not sure what to use it for, though. Smoker said it's okay to move with him so I don't need to ask around.

Honestly? It's the best way to keep in touch with people you've met. Most people here use them, after all. You can call them, or they can call you. I carry mine around with me all the time!

It sounds really useful. I think I'll carry mine around too.

[A pause.]

Isn't it bad to listen to others' conversations though? I don't always feel like talking.

Well, you don't have to. You can keep it closed, and you can pick and choose what you want to listen to sometimes too. But if someone's talking publicly, there's not a problem in listening in, unless you think they deserve privacy. Besides, filters are there for that.

And just because you carry it with you doesn't mean you have to talk if you don't want to.

Isn't it bothersome to carry it if you're not going to use it?

Nah, not really. Even if you don't use it often, it can be worth carrying around if an emergency arises. Like if you need help.

Or if someone else needs help. That's one of the major reasons I carry it around. I have to. As a member of the Blue Rogues, I have to be ready to jump at the call once it goes out.

What are the Blue Rogues? The police?

Ikki!!! Hiiiiiii!!

Hello, Selphie.

[Despite his slightly less casual greeting it's clear the boy is happy to hear of her.]

How are you?

I'm really good! You?

I'm great! I'm waiting for Smoker to go shopping. You?

I'm waiting for a snack!

A snack?

[Pause.]

Want me to ask Smoker to get something for you?
