Forty Stabs [Video]

[joyinthefight]

[Kenpachi is sitting in front of a mirror, trying fruitlessly to get his spikes to stand up. Each time it looks like one is set, the another falls down. For a moment he simply stares at the mirror before shaking his head.]

Better be an event, all I'm sayin'. Ain't goin' back ta this on a normal basis.

[He topples the remaining hair spike,

Funny you should ask.

[joyinthefight]

Yeah? I got good timin' fer once?

[general_mustang]

Seems it.

I need some help looking for scrap metal.

[joyinthefight]

Just lyin' 'round? Easy. How big do ya want tha pieces, an' where?

[heavenly_earth]

Ah, Kenpachi-san, it's unfortunate you seem to be having difficulties in this heat as well.

Of course, more water is always appreciated, and it might save Kakashi-sensei a few trips later this evening.

[joyinthefight]

Don't think many 're doin' fine in it.

Ya got it.

[originalprodigy]

If this is abnormal, except for the timing of the absurdity, then it's probably safe to assume that this is an event. How long have you been here?

[Voice]

[joyinthefight]

Long time. Over a year. Thing is, ain't anyone been here long enough ta see three summers. This might be normal. No way ta know 'til tha end o' tha week. We didn't get taunted, tha's tha only reason ta wonder if it ain't an event.

[originalprodigy]

Taunted...?

[joyinthefight]

Tha Animus.

Ya new?

[realfolkinblue]

They just love to watch us suffer, don't they?

[joyinthefight]

Yeah, I think they do. Can't think of another reason fer things like this.

[realfolkinblue]

Sadists.

[joyinthefight]

Pretty much, yep.

[turn_a_blindeye]

Having a little trouble with your hair, Ken-chan? Maybe if you tease it?
Though that's a good look for you, too.

[joyinthefight]

... How do ya tease hair?

Used ta wear it like this normally. Tha spikes have meanin', though. An' I like 'em.

[turn_a_blindeye]

Pull it up, and then brush it down in the opposite direction. It'll stand up a bit.

I prefer the spikes too. Shows your more...playful side, hm?

[joyinthefight]

I ain't sure wha' yer sayin'. Any way ya can show me even wi' yer hair shorter?

Heh, yeah. Invites people ta mess wi' me only if they can handle it. An' there's eleven, fer tha squad.
