[ welcome to hogwarts, hogsmeade i guess. ash certainly looks like he isn't really sure what to make of literally any of this - it looks super quaint and twee, but he's looking in this bookshop window and that book is definitely trying to snap at him through the glass. ]
WEEK 2 - monday, subd verse
Seriously, what the hell is this place.
no subject
A nice place for a date, probably. . .?
no subject
Looking to clear the tasks quickly?
no subject
[he cracks Ash a coy smile]
So? How about it? [a beat] But maybe not a date in the bookshop.
[let's not get eaten by monster books]
no subject
[ hoo boy. ]
I dunno, that lil' guy seems fond of you. Maybe he wants in. [ the book is jumping up at the window now, and bouncing off. "fond" indeed. ]
What else is there here? I guess we gotta explore.
no subject
[is he joking?? a mystery!!]
And yeah, let's take a look around. I thought I saw a nice tea shop somewhere. . . [a beat] We can even hold hands while we do it.
no subject
[ a mystery.... ]
Lead the way. [ he just looks at akira, and his hand, and raises an eyebrow. ]
no subject
[and before Akira starts walking he just. . . extends his hand to Ash, fingers waggling. come on now. don't be shy]
no subject
...
akira you're an embarrassment.
but fiiinnnneeee. after a moment he'll start walking and grab onto akira's hand as he goes past. ]
no subject
[HE IS AN EMBARRASSMENT. HE IS GOING FULL HAM, HERE]
no subject
You gonna start skipping next?
no subject
[he won't. he'll spare Ash that much]
[also they are passing. . . gasp! the joke shop!!]
Oh, I like the way this place looks.
no subject
... It looks chaotic.
[ there's a pause, and then: ]
Shame we can't take stuff back with us. [ some of those things say exploding on them, and that's important. ]
no subject
[a forlorn sigh, but Akira is grinning as they enter the shop]
But we can have as much fun as we want with them while we're here.
no subject
You could fling some of this stuff into people's cabins, if we could take them back. [ dung bombs? in a cabin? terrible, yet brilliant.
he grabs what looks like a yo-yo as they wander past. i'm sure it's fine. ]
no subject
Are you trying to make people angry, Ash?
no subject
[ he... lets the yo-yo drop, almost casually. or it would be casual if the yo-yo didn't scream blue-murder as it falls, causing ash to jump. ]
What the fu---??
no subject
[Akira jerks back, fingers slipping from Ash's, and instinctively tries to cover his ears]
. . . put it down! Put it down!
no subject
wow. ]
no subject
That was terrible.
no subject
"Screaming yo-yo".
... Okay, but... why?
no subject
[he's cracking up now]
no subject
he picks up the rest of them and drops them.
they all shriek at akira ]
no subject
HEY CUT THAT OUT!!
no subject
he lets the yo-yos fly back up, and catches them. ]
