[ he's already shaking it off his hand, where it rolls, still screaming, under a display table and quietens down.










wow. ]

[survivaltricks]

[WOW]

That was terrible.

[voidbreaker]

[ he just. wanders back to look at the display case for those yo-yos and... ]

"Screaming yo-yo".

... Okay, but... why?

[survivaltricks]

[he has no idea, but]

[he's cracking up now]

[voidbreaker]

[ .....


he picks up the rest of them and drops them.




they all shriek at akira ]

[survivaltricks]

[-- LAUGHTER TURNS INTO YELLING]

HEY CUT THAT OUT!!

[voidbreaker]

[
















he lets the yo-yos fly back up, and catches them. ]

[survivaltricks]

[oh my god]

[SHOVES AT ASH'S SHOULDER]

[enjoy that static electricity shock, buddy]

[voidbreaker]

[ ow??? wow hey??? ]

Ow?

[ terrible way to treat your date, akira. ]

[survivaltricks]

[says Ash who just dumped a ton of screaming yo-yos at him??]

Payback.

[points at eyes, points at Ash]

[voidbreaker]

[ that was funny, static shock is rude and sad. ]

Ugh, is that part of whatever weird shit's going on with us this week?

[ r u d e ]

[survivaltricks]

Probably.

[a light laugh]

Fortunately it doesn't happen every time I touch someone. Just. . . sometimes.

[voidbreaker]

Specifically that time, huh?

[ he's onto you, akira. ]

[survivaltricks]

[spreads his hands in front of him and just shrugs innocently]

[voidbreaker]

[ he just

pushes his shoulder.

ash's hands might feel on the warmer side. they probably did earlier too i just have a sieve for a brain. it's fine. ]

[survivaltricks]

[IT'S FINE. rocks back with the shove, noting the warmth but not commenting. he just seems amused]

So where should we go next?

[voidbreaker]

[ he's distracted for a moment by what genuinely looks like a pile of fluffballs with eyes, making little squeaking sounds, before he glances back to akira. ]

Might as well wander down the row of shops, yeah?

[survivaltricks]

Mmm. Might as well.

[to the shop exist they go! what is the next, the pink cafe?]

[voidbreaker]

[ who knows what the layout of hogsmeade is so.... yeah. i'ma say it is. ]

At least retracing our steps'll be easier.

[survivaltricks]

[a hum]

At least there's that.

[anyway. and then a thoughtful pause as they walk towards the pink cafe]

[. . .]

Hey, Ash--

[he looks like he wants to say something]

[voidbreaker]

[ it's all still so quaint. this whole place is so much. ]

Yeah?

[ say your words akira. ]

[survivaltricks]

. . .

[a tiny huff]

It's a new week, so it should be safe. . .

[what is he mumbling about]

[anyway--]

My power is to nullify the effects any power or this camp might have on a person for up to twenty-four hours.

[voidbreaker]

[ hm. ]

No healing kisses then? Maybe it really is carrot-top with that kind of power after all?

[ still he nudges akira — it’s not gentle but it’s nowhere near the sort of power he could or would normally use ]

[survivaltricks]

Hah.

[he seems amused]

Yeah, maybe. But I'm the one who shielded Dick on Thursday night and Friday until eleven.

[a beat]

By the way, thanks to SOME PEOPLE-- [he coughs] I had to make sure I or the people close to me wouldn't get punished after it came up at trial.

. . . fortunately, so long as nobody confirms it, it seems fine to speculate on powers. Even if the speculation is correct.

[voidbreaker]

Ah, so that was the delay.

[ he tilts his head ]

Does Chatterbox know your powers? I normally assume if Lili knows something he does too, unless you specified she keep it to herself.

[ in that case, he might as well ask: ] Whose powers do you know now? I don’t think telling people who without revealing what’ll count, right?
