[A drawn out yawn before...] What did I even miss... [Rin is up now, for the first time in... a while. He'd been sleeping a lot before then with intermittent periods of being awake for short hours. And now, for once, he doesn't want to sleep more. Not the lead because he's really hungry, having not really eaten for the past three days... or seen Shiemi or Skarmy in the house. Or anything. Really, the thing which immediately stood out when he finally got up and wasn't sleeping was that someone (probably Eleanor) had put a huge stack of homework by his bad.

That said, he's eating cereal now, and isn't feeling the need to nod off again despite being up almost an hour (he even showered) which is why he's using his journal]

Sorry, uh, work 'n school people and Wolverine. My bad - I guess I got really sick or something. Shiemi was takin' care of me most of the time too so sorry to any of her friends. [A pause as he chews his cereal and...] Who wants to do... anything? I've actually been sleeping way too much and I wanna stretch my legs.

[ And anyone can tell him what he missed, win-win.

Which of course means there's sidebar action as he goes to Seventh Heaven, next door, the Dome, the Item Shop and other assorted places to see what's what.]

[He just laughs, shaking his head.]

As far as I know the only one around you was your friend, until recently at least. Unless she is the type to try to wake you up with kisses, no one took advantage of you while you were out of it.

[rashness]

[ SHEIMI KISSED HIM...?! ]

[Action]

[rashness]

[ ... Oh no she didn't ]

Oh.

[Action]

[uccellodifuoco]

[Stare.]

Did you want her to kiss you to wake you up?

[Action]

[rashness]

I NEVER SAID THAT EITHER!!

[Action]

[uccellodifuoco]

You looked slightly disappointed, guess I read that wrong. Did you sleep well?

[Action]

[rashness]

I... yeah! I guess! [ But now his mind is way off in the fantasy land of Princess Warrior Shiemi kissing him awake. Oooooh ]

[Action]

[uccellodifuoco]

So, do you have anything specific in mind for the day?

[And Ikki is oblivious to Rin going off to fantasy land.]

[Action]

[rashness]

[ Oh......... Oh......... ]

Sorry, d'you say something?

[Action]

[uccellodifuoco]

I asked if you had anything specific in mind for the day, I heard you asking who wanted to do "anything". But surely you can have something more specific than that?

[Action]

[rashness]

I didn't think that far actually. Like... maybe running around? You can move fast, right?

[Action]

[uccellodifuoco]

At the speed of light, or close to it while in the village. So you want to exercise? Not a bad idea after sleeping for so long.

[Action]

[rashness]

-Whoa, the speed of light? Oh man, I totally have to see that! I'm fast, but I don't think I'm that fast!

[Action]

[uccellodifuoco]

If you can't move that fast yourself it's possible that all you'll be able to see is a flash of light, though. There's not much to see on it.

[Action]

[rashness]

So what! We might as well race about it!

[Action]

[uccellodifuoco]

You realize that if you can't run that fast making it a race is pointless, right?

[Action]

[rashness]

So what?! We could at least try it, right?!

[Action]

[uccellodifuoco]

[There's a soft chuckle.]

Whatever you want.

[Action]

[rashness]

Sweet. Okay, meet you at, uh... outside my house?

[Action]

[uccellodifuoco]

So a full circle around the village?

[Action] Would you believe I forgot this was action for a bit (yes you would )

[rashness]

[ ... You know that's a good question. Seeing as how they started here, this seems like a logical end point so-

Actually wait]

Yeah but wait a minute! I gotta go get my sword, so hold on.

[ And one apologetic hand later, he heads back into his house! To go get Kurikara. He'll be right back out ]

[Action] /pets it happens

[uccellodifuoco]

[He arches an eyebrow and waits patiently for him to get back.]

Never got told to not run with sharps objects in your hands?

[Action]

[rashness]

Naw, I just need this to transform.

[ And thus he draws the sword. Resulting in blue fire going everything, blue fire horns, longer claws, longer fangs and teeth, his tail lighting on fire too, and him generally just producing a big ol' demon aura ]

[Action]

[uccellodifuoco]

Impressive. Are you faster like this?

[He hopes so.]

[Action]

[rashness]

You bet. I'm stronger, too!
