O3 | Accidents happen

[goldendays]

Characters: Hibiki and you, there!
Setting: Floor fifty-seven
Format: action, but I’ll [try to] match you!
Summary: He’s only trying to have fun around this tower, as hard as it is to believe for some of the its residents.
Warnings: n/a really unless you count a tragic loss to the soccer community

extra: sorry to all those i threaded with; if you haven’t guessed they’re dropped! my deepest apologies, really! things (cough school) came up and i guess i really have time, but i’d love to tag with you all again--especially the ones that commented on my last post i'm really really sorry!! (hearts)will you forgive this kid?



[He's tired; he had been at it for hours--running and kicking, his cap and hoodie long discarded. But there's no way he could stop, no way at all! He finally learned, that person taught it to him, and he's set on making them proud. Almost there.. He would get the timing right no matter how long it took, he definitely wasn't giving up. A determined grin set on his face, he readies himself. Now!]

Go, Arcanine! Ember!

[One small step for giant dog, one big kick for young boy! Hibiki jumps and kicks the soccer ball as hard as he can, sending it flying upward. He watches as Arcanine shoots out a stream of fire at the ball, pushing it forward towards an imaginary goal. The flames looked absolutely awesome, the ball cutting through the air like that reminded him of the meteor shower he saw once when he was a kid. Ah......but back to the subject at hand. He..he did it! He timed it correctly and the ball caught on fire and it went and it worked! It wasn't much, or nearly as cool as it could be, but he did it. Hibiki throws his arms up in the air and lets out a loud whoop, falling back onto the grass.]

Did you see that, Arcanine? We did it! [He motions Arcanine to come closer so he could pet him for the job well done...not really noticing where the ball went or what happened to it. That could possibly pose a danger to the pair. Possibly.]

Ahh, after so many tries of not getting the ball high enough or ember-ing it the right tome, we got it!! You think Sakuma-nii would be proud? I can do one of those super cool kicks, just like him! I mean it's not as cool as his, but it's close right, boy? We can play soccer together now, I have to show him!! [Hey, listen to your pal Hibiki! He listens to you when you "tell" him you're hungry!! Hey, listen!]

...Hey, Arcanine!! Heeeeeeeeeeeey! [He waves his hand at Arcanine, trying to get him to look down again (really, he's tired! Give him a break and please look down!)]

What's so interesting over there anywa-- [Well things escalated quickly. He really wished he didn't turn his head. And maybe that he decided to not keep an eye out on a flaming ball, but hey, people make..mistakes........Yeah this was bad.

The fire spread like, well, wildfire and--crud what could he do? He didn't have any water pokemon on him and sending Typhlosion or Ampharos out wouldn't help any! He scrambles up and furiously scratches his hair. Ahhh, what a mess!! The fires getting closer, where's the exist, he can't even think straight right now!]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH WHAT DO I DO?!

[Huh? Is this dejavu? He remembers....yeah...he screamed bloody murder the first time here too. Sorry Sakuma-nii. We'll play neext time, okay?]

[His eyes go wide, another gym leader?] Jasmine's here too?! Oh, John I think I met him a little while ago, we didn't get to talk much though. Yeah he's from Johto, but it's different you know? Like..uhm....it's not that familiar kind of whoa Johto people!!! Sort of?? Does that make sense? [And Hibiki's making weird hand gestures hoping they would get his point across, but probably not. There was no connection like he and you have, gosh can you understand that Morty?!]

[dusknoir]

Perhaps it's because he's a traveling Trainer, and not a Gym Leader who you've most likely seen much more of all the time. [Morty tries not to stare too hard at Hibiki's... intense hand gestures, as that would be rude, but he does have to step back a few times so as to avoid getting whacked in the face.] I haven't talked to him that much either, to be honest, but he seems nice enough.

[goldendays]

Yea, it'd be cool if I could bump into him again! I static shocked him the first time we met hehe... [He scratches his cheek and laughs, his eyes slowly wandering around the room. Accessing the environment is definitely important, even not in the wild!]

So where are we....[Annnnd Hibiki wandering eyes finally reach the ceiling. Here in the seemingly bland room--which wasn't bad, he's cool with bland sometimes! Things are hanging out up there. He's just seeing things, right? There really aren't...! He takes a small step back and bites his lip, just in case he screams...or something. Okay, he's not cool with this room at all, nope, nope. So maybe he clutches onto the hem of his shirt a little too tightly and closes his hand around Typhlosion's pokeball.]

[dusknoir]

Did you really? How did you accomplish that? [Morty chuckles a bit too, simply because giving someone an electric shock upon first meeting is such a Hibiki thing to do. For all of the misery that has been brought into this Tower, for the first time Morty feels quite grateful that other people have been brought here; selfish as it was, to have Hibiki and John around made him feel that Johto still wasn't quite gone.]

...Oh? Is something wrong, Hibiki?

[Morty looks up.]

[ ... ]

[Excitedly:] Oh, there are corpses up there!

[goldendays]

[He lets out a few sputters, but nothing that coherent since, newsflash, Hibiki's kinda of terrified at the moment. He inches closer to Morty--why was he so chill with it anyway? And then he remembers, Oh, ghosty things. He wants to hide behind him, but at the same time he's yelling at himself they can't do anything, he's down here, they're up there...uwehhhhhhh.

Looks like Morty'll have to wait for his story.]

[dusknoir]

Hibiki! Hibiki, calm down. They're just bodies.

[Man, COME ON.]
