[--THUD]

[... after what sounds like the crashlanding of the century, there are a few loud bumps agains the mic; what sounds uncannily like a confused chicken; and finally everything unmuffles as whatever was on the communicator moves off]

O-Ow! What the hell was I-- Hey, what is this? This isn't the cellphone! Where's my freakin'--

[rattle rattle rattle smack]

[BANG BANG BANG BANG]

COUGH IT UP, YOU PIECE OF JUNK! I ACTUALLY NEED THAT THING SOMETIMES!

[...]

All right. Have it your way.

[an intake of breath]

HEY, UGLY! YOU DISGUSTING, HORRIBLE, NO-GOOD, BANANAS-FOR-BRAINS OLD HAG!!

[pant pant]

I BET THIS IS YOU AGAIN, ISN'T IT?! THE HELL DID YOU DO THIS TIME?!? I DON'T EVEN-- [a pause] ... THIS ISN'T THE DEMON WORLD!

[another pause] So... it's the human world, right? With their dumb sun and everything. But I was just there -- hey, ugly, you better explain! I don't know that many places in the human world, you know!

[...]

... Ugly? [BANG] Hey, is this thing even working? HEY--

[click!]

[have an extreme closeup of one red eye peering suspiciously in general direction of the camera]

[a long moment later, the image tilts wildly as he lets it fall carelessly to the ground]

Useless thing! What am I supposed to--

I've never heard of any of that. Bet you're lying, like that other guy.

[think, think] ... Or you're just saying what somebody else told you to say.

[video]

[pissedkitty.livejournal.com]

I really don't care whether or not you believe me.

[video]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

That's what they all say. I know what you're trying to do! It's reverse -- reverse psyching! I'm not falling for that one, either.

[video]

[pissedkitty.livejournal.com]

...Reverse psychology.

[video]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

Whatever! Whatever it is, it's not gonna work.

[video]

[pissedkitty.livejournal.com]

...Again. Believe what you'd like.

[video]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

... You're really annoying, you know that?

[video]

[pissedkitty.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you would know.

[video]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

What's that supposed to mean?

[video]

[pissedkitty.livejournal.com]

It means exactly what it sounds like.

[video]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

It doesn't sound like anything except you talking in circles! Pisses me off!

[let's start the growling again, shall we?]

[video]

[pissedkitty.livejournal.com]

It doesn't look like it takes much to piss you off in the first place.

[video]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

You...!

You better shut that mouth before I do it for you!

[video]

[pissedkitty.livejournal.com]

I'd love to see you try.

[video]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

You going to back that up or hide behind that screen all day?

[video]

[pissedkitty.livejournal.com]

I was planning on the prior. [He can hear Nora off comm at this point, so he'll just wander on over in his direction from Discedo!roofs like a real roofhopping CLAMP noodle would.]

[video]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah? So where are ya?

[he's on alert either way, the communicator recording the fabric of his shirt as he keeps his eyes trained on his surroundings]

[SURPRISE COMMENTLOG]

[pissedkitty.livejournal.com]

Turn around.

[SUP. FROM SITTING UP ON THE BUILDING BEHIND YOU. And good god he could not look more apathetic and bored if he tried.]

[SURPRISE COMMENTLOG]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

[WHIPS AROUND -- oh hey for once somebody actually kept their word and showed up. He just stares for a second before grinning and sinking into battle stance -- his magical spear (http://i49.tinypic.com/35ch5qw.png) already extended and at the ready.]

What do you know, there are some bastards good for a fight around here.

[Time to test the opponent -- CHAAARGE.]

[SURPRISE COMMENTLOG]

[pissedkitty.livejournal.com]

[...SIGH. You kids and your chips. And weapons. Come on, now. Kamui effortlessly flips right over him and his giant magic spear, waiting to see how fast his reaction time is.]

[SURPRISE COMMENTLOG] last tag before beddd

[failhound.livejournal.com]

[Well, damn it, why are all of his opponents supersonic or whatever -- he slams on the brakes as soon as Kamui disappears from in front of him, using the spear to help him turn and crouching to make a smaller target of himself as he brings up the weapon in a defensive swipe--]

[SURPRISE COMMENTLOG]

[pissedkitty.livejournal.com]

[And Kamui raises a hand to stop the movement of Nora's spear, pushing it back without much effort. IS THAT THE BEST YOU CAN DO, PUPPY BOY?]

[SURPRISE COMMENTLOG]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

[Oh shut up, he's just testing the waters -- surprise, that spear happens to crackle a little, you might get a minor burn or two if you're not careful.]

You just gonna stand there?

[CHAAARGE is obviously the best strategy; he keeps his head down and spear out and about, though.]

[SURPRISE COMMENTLOG]

[pissedkitty.livejournal.com]

[...Woah. That's a cool spear. But right, they're in the middle of something here. Kamui sidesteps Nora's charge, though, doing his best to maintain a generally passive and uninterested expression.] I could. It's not like you could hit me if you tried.

[SURPRISE COMMENTLOG]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

[Damn straight it's a cool spear, it's made from HIS SELFFFF it better be awesome.

... This is like the worst type of opponent for him, aha.]

'Tch. I'm gonna make you eat those words--!

[Have a puppyboy using the spear to turn on a dime again and then coming after you -- spinning the spear at the head of the renewed charge. Note: it can stick you from both ends, so what you get is a spinning wall of crackling steel.]
