[--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!]

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

Useless thing! What am I supposed to--

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

[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.]

[SURPRISE COMMENTLOG]

[pissedkitty.livejournal.com]

[Spinning wall of crackling steel! There is a simple solution to this. And this solution is to kick said spear in the center, and hard- not quite as hard as he could get with little effort in canon that sent Kuro flying, but strong enough to at the very least send Nora off balance and possibly onto his ass.]

[SURPRISE COMMENTLOG]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

[Well, what do you know, you get not only bowled-over demonboy, but you also sent his spear flying off to shank some poor unfortunate building over there.]

Argh! Damn it... You won't get that lucky again! [Even as he scrambles to recover his spear, doing a funny kind of crabwalk to keep Kamui in his sights as he retreats a little.]

[SURPRISE COMMENTLOG]

[pissedkitty.livejournal.com]

[Crossing his arms and looking generally displeased! :|.] It has nothing to do with luck.

[SURPRISE COMMENTLOG]

[failhound.livejournal.com]

[Goddamnit stop looking down on him EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE SHORTER, KITTEN. This gives him time to grab up his spear again, though; and this time he's a little warier -- you're fast and you're confident. Hmmm.]

You bastard! It's nothing but luck! If I had my magic--

[This time he comes in faster, but just before his charge would have connected, he uses the spear to slide and dash behind Kamui and deliver a spinning kick at his head from below.]
