miscakes | catch-all: akira.

I don't doubt that.

[THAT DOESN'T MAKE IT NOT ANNOYING!!]

But as well as I speak fluent emoji, even this is beyond me.

Then, you can surely imagine how I've felt since I first saw it.

[Three furries ganged up on him to sing, dance and dash on him after yeeting a letter at his face, Akira. It's a lot.

He holds his hand out to take the letter back, though.]

Regardless, I don't expect to figure it out today. Tomorrow's trial takes priority.

[and Akira leans against one crutch as he slips the letter back into the envelop and hands it over]

What sort of song did they sing, anyway?

[He slips it back in his pocket.]

Something about the mail. The lyrics aren't relevant to the contents of the letter.

[. . . WAS IT THE BLUES CLUES MAIL SONG]

Even Plum sang for you? That's sweet.

[maybe.]

In a way. She wasn't particularly enthusiastic about it.

[Save Plum.]

More importantly, I received something this morning for my participation in Wednesday's activity. And you?

Ah. Now that sounds more like Plum.

[as he responds, he. . . well. he leans his back against the wall so he doesn't fall down and so he can let go of his crutches long enough to pull a medallion with a pentagram inscribed on it from his pocket]

Tah-dah.

[... SQUINTS AT IT.]

Does it serve a purpose?

[tosses the medallion into the air and catches it adeptly on the way down. seems like he's full of plenty of energy today, despite the events of the day before]

Yeah.

It lets me "catch a glimpse of somewhere I can't reach."

Oh? How fortunate. [NICE... Better than the smelling salts.] Will it remain functional for more than one use?

No idea. I need to ask.

My guess would be no, though. But if prizes were handed out like they were the first time we got them, then Lio and Beau should have one, too.

If that trend hasn't changed, we have at least three opportunities to make use of such a useful ability.

[Nice... He pauses, though, almost like he's debating something.]

I trust that you will keep this between the two of us, but I received a weapon.

[. . . oh my god]

Whaaaat kind of weapon?

[he! smiles!]

A spear.

[an amused huff]

Spears don't suit you. You're more of a light saber kind of guy.

[you Star Wars nerd]

Does it do anything special?

It's not my weapon of choice, but I have no complaints if it adds a layer of protection between myself and a creature.

[Excuse you... Sometimes you just like to ZWOOM... ZWOOM.....]

Supposedly, it will enhance my speed. It almost makes up for the smelling salts.

[ALMOST.]

[may the force be with u]

Almost.

[said with a light flicker of amusement]

They really didn't come with any special privilege? That's a little surprising.

[Giving him A Look.]

I already said they didn't. Are you still doubting me?

[hmmm. . . studying Akechi carefully in return, then shrugging]

No, I guess not. It's just. . . weird.

[everyone else got items with special abilities why did Akechi only get smelling salts]

[because master blue hates him, akira. that's it. that's all.]

I'm aware. [He huffs.] But it's not as if I'm the only one. Hunter should have received a tin of smelling salts as well.

[SOMEHOW HE BELIEVES IT]

Oh, you were with Hunter?

[he doesn't sound judgmental, JUST CURIOUS]

. . . what was our task that week, anyway? We had to make bush art.

I was. [Believe him, binch!!] We were given a homework assignment. Nothing that required actual thought or effort, however.

Oh yeah?

What'd they have you doing, then?

[he actually does believe Akechi he's just asking out of curiosity]

We were asked to find five things we have in common. I suppose it was meant to build rapport.

Aw.

[AW]

Are you two friends now?

[he's teasing]
