[renegare]

[ the camera finds focus on the ground, a long stick setting unsteady lines to sketch a building. Hibari's skill with the arts is timid at best, unhelped by a tiny yellow bird that takes just this time to land on the drawing and rub against it affectionately. The stick halts its movement - ]

...shhhhhhhhhh.

[ - then is tapped against dirt, once

[So if you happen to see a dude a little ways off from the site, surrounded by pails and buckets of varying sizes, that would be Yamamoto, doing his NON CURSED THING.

The most important detail to note is that it's raining. Not everywhere, mind you. Just directly over the spot where he's set up shop.]

[hooksword]

You're raining.

[Jet's tone is dryly amused. He's carrying an armful of brick, too.]

lol fail

[derpioso]

[Rain is wet. Who knew? Before responding, Yamamoto reaches down to grab the umbrella he brought along and opens it over his already damp head.

Much better.

He grins.]

Nah, that's my box weapon. I'm just being rained on.

Got those? They look pretty heavy.

lmfao <3

[hooksword]

Box weapon?

[Jet shakes his head, shifting the weight of the brick. It looks heavy, but he seems to be carrying it easily enough.]

The hell is a box weapon?

audio ][ well that was a hilarious typo

[adamantined]

Don't tell me. You're building a dairy farm for all the cattle.

audio | I SAW IT AND I WONDERED

[renegare]

I won't tell you that aberration.

audio | DIARY FARMS ARE REALLY IMPORTANT TO AGRICULTURE

[adamantined]

Alright. What are you building? Trying to build.

audio | A GREAT AND RELIABLE INNOVATION

[renegare]

A replica.

[heliolatrous]

What are you doing?

1/2

[renegare]

[ are you stupi - don't answer. ]

[renegare]

Who asks?

[heliolatrous]

God.

[witheringlily]

Oh! What are you building?

audio

[renegare]

[ A dream, Uni. ]

Nothing you are meant to see.

[witheringlily]

You're working very hard. I'm sure it will be impressive.

[renegare]

[ almost defensively - ]

You won't see it. You won't come near it. It isn't yours.

[ - he's learned to make these mentions with the mafia. ]

[ open to other action theads, not just hibari! ]

[ Needless to say this is one of the more surreal moments Ariadne's had in her life. Standing at the edge of a large plot of land, watching a rag tag group of individuals attempt to build, of all things, a school. Her inclusion in this scene has nothing to do with curses and more to do with being simply compelled by her own morbid curiosities and so now she's here, standing beside Hibari and watching him draw in the dirt.

Though currently he's a little distracted by the little yellow bird on his shoulder. Ariadne peers at it and is tempted to poke it, but doesn't, telling him absently: ]

It's not the sort of thing you decide to do after the fact. [ Moving walls. ]

[ THEY ARE ALL OPEN AND BEAUTIFUL LIKE ARIADNE'S SPARKLING EYES ~~~ ]

[renegare]

[ And the bird takes its time to crawl into Hibari's collar, settling serenely between coat and flesh. Nap time it is. Its master doesn't turn; doesn't measure Ariadne's notice against the casual irritation reserved for interruption; doesn't forget her working legs, and where his open hostility might direct them, before the day is done and her use expires. ]

It will move --

[ He bides the moment before a nod, dispelling frustration. Hesitation. He's not learned in this. Has no telling where the next rock should go, short of his memory of where its equivalent rests in a building lost to another dimension. ]

...somewhere.

[ KYA~ ]

[proportioned]

[ Only then does Ariadne's attention shift from the tiny ball of tuft and adorable to the profile of its master. The look on her face is distinctly is this guy for real but she knows that's not really a question. If there's one thing she's already learned it's that this Hibari kid meant business. Serious business.

She's also pretty certain he needs therapy.

Moving now to grab a stick of her own, she waves a hand in the air as if to say forget that line and then promptly draws her own a few inches to the left. ]

Twenty feet further east means a wider hallway, but this room will have to come in slightly to compensate, so it's view of the lawn will be obstructed.

[ Still with me, bucko? ]

[ all in a day's work ; ) ]

[renegare]

[ Still with you, Ma'am. Though it takes him a moment to reconcile her explanation with the image in his head - he's walked Namimori too many years of his young life, but he's never thought of it mathematically. Never thought of the possibility of its duplication. Or estrangement -

...her stick looks longer than his. Gritted teeth, ]

I want it strong.

[ He turns around to catch her eyes - human, woman, no visible biological flaw, no combat instinct, probably no hidden weapons - and this is not a request. But it might as well be. ]

Do what needs doing.
