You gotta be banjoking

[thalassino]

A thoughtful (more or less) person has carried the magic banjo outside, leaving it near the corral. It still glows faintly, as if it is beckoning people to play it. The kraken, surprisingly, doesn't try to break the instrument. Then again, it is a magic banjo. Maybe it just doesn't want to touch that with a ten foot tentacle.

...A glowing banjo. Even with this madness, he can't really get it, either. So instead he just stares at it briefly under his hood, then toward the kraken. Granted, he has no idea how to really play an instrument, but he might as well give it a try. If the kraken doesn't like it, it can taste more darkness blasts.

Picking up the banjo and sitting down, the deeper-than-normal voice hums along the parts that he cannot add with the strings. He begins to strum...

"For the friends he left alone
He will continue on his dark path to atone

Never forgetting the promises they made
He'll continue on, knowing the road ahead
Was what they once forbade

Until the light is shown
He struggles with all he's known

Refused to fade away or sink down low
The young man battled on
Recalling our solemn vow..."

Yeah, a little cheesy, but he doesn't care. It's what he feels, so anyone listening can kiss it. [ooc: WHAT IS FOURTH WALL? 8D]

The fourth wall can be broken right along with the kraken's tentacles. Maybe the kraken is a staunch defender of the fourth wall. Bet you didn't expect that, huh?

...But either way, he's not happy. There are some tentacles coming right at you, Riku; you'd better move.

[limitless_land]

Actually, he kind of did. Not many people liked his playing to begin with.

Jumping out of the way, he just strums a random tune from back home. It makes no sense and has no pattern, but attack him again...

[calamarity]

Well.

The kraken is most certainly attacking again, because he very very much dislikes random tunes without pattern.

Very much. In fact, he is very pissed off right now.

So yes. He attacks again.

Whoooosh!

Banjo gets dropped, then. You know, he was trying to be nice because he felt a little bad for damaging two of its tentacles a while ago. Now? Yeah, not so much. See this shiny blade that looks like a strange crossbreed between a bunch of angel and demon wings? See it? It is being summoned instead and aiming a Dark Firaga spell.

Yes, yes that is his official "fuck you." So kind of you to notice.

[calamarity]

Well damn. That hurt.

But no he does not see it and no he mostly doesn't care. Sudden pain causes him to freeze.

And then he shakes it off and flails more, even angrier.

It'd be like burning the tip of your finger, except this guy has a gazillion more of them to boot.
