For Anemoi

[mybrotherskeeper]

1) At the breakfast table
[You'd think that a person like Gaignun Kukai would have had harder adjusting. A millionaire, running his own galaxy-spanning corporation, reduced to sharing a converted hotel room. But by the way he's eating that omelette and checking the news on his phone... you wouldn't think he's lived any different.]

Any plans for the day?

2) After a successful expedition
[Maybe you're battling monsters. Maybe you're searching ruins. Maybe you're just helping one of the townsfolk, but in some way, you've been rewarded with anemoi! Gaignun takes his, holds it up to the sky...]


So does this mean I've lost my marbles?

3) On the street
[He's talking. Laughing. Having a good time with this conversation. Only someone didn't quite notice the painting crew five stories above the sidewalk he was currently walking on. So when a bucket tipped over and starting a steady stream of red paint falling to the ground... guess who was in the path. Was it you or was it Gaignun?]

[Well of course it was Rozalin! Red paint is just covering her from head to toe, completely ruining her dress.]

W-what in the!?

[sinful_rose]

What just happened?!!

[mybrotherskeeper]

Looks like someone quite liberally decided to paint the town red.

[sinful_rose]

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS?!

[has_a_blog]

[WAAAAAAY up above]

Whups!

>Abscond

[mybrotherskeeper]

[Stepping out of reach here...]

Can't say I can see anyone.

Jr., I hope you're not busy.

[sinful_rose]

Well I did! Excuse me a moment while I take care of the little worm.

[sinful_rose]

[Now her attention is completely on getting the moron who dumped the paint. Taking note of the room placement, she races upstairs to find him. Gun in hand of course, and ready to fire at anything and everything that moves.]

GET OUT HERE YOU PIECE OF TRASH! I AM GOING TO MAKE YOU PAY FOR THIS!

[red_dwarf]

I'm not. What's up? Need something?

[mybrotherskeeper]

On the fifth floor, facing Spring Garden Road. Someone just tipped a red paint can, got over Rozalin. Culprit's a blond male, about your height, white shirt. She's dangerous right now; make sure he's not there in the next... thirty seconds.]

Rozalin, wait!

[red_dwarf]

Oh hell. Okay, got it. I'm nearly at the door.

...I'd say try to calm her down, but that's probably not an option, eh?

[sinful_rose]

[Too late, Gaignun. She's way past earshot and it wouldn't have helped anyways. She's reached the right floor and is making her way to the right room.]

[red_dwarf]

[...Just as Jr. is leaving said room, having entered and seen no sign of Dave.]

[sinful_rose]

[Being so enraged, Rozalin doesn't register the fact that it's Jr. in front of her and not Dave.]

Take this for ruining my dress, you ignorant oaf!

[Aiming, she fires once in the direction of Jr.'s head...]

[red_dwarf]

[Jr. looks up just in time to see the enraged Rozalin. With a small shout that could have been a scream, he begins to rush back into the room, but he's too late.

The bullet flies at his head...

...and hits his earring perfectly, sending out a ding! that rings through the hall.]

[mybrotherskeeper]

[There's a moment of silence as the sound reverberates through the air.]



...nice shot.

[sinful_rose]

[That sound is what manages to bring Rozalin to her senses.]

Oh my Overlord! Jr., I am so sorry! I did not mean to shoot at you.

[red_dwarf]

[Still stunned and trembling slightly, Jr. reaches up to touch his earring. Once he seems to realize that all of his parts are still there and functioning normally, he falls to the ground in a heap, laughing quietly.]

You've got a hell of an incredible aim, Rozalin.

[sinful_rose]

You are not hurt, are you?

[She makes her way to check, but stops herself when she remembers she's covered in wet paint.]

[red_dwarf]

Nah, just shaken up. I tried to catch Dave for ya, but he's fast.

[sinful_rose]

Good. After all, it was not you who did this.

[She gestures to the paint.]

Oh, it is all right. I shall hunt him down later and make him pay.

[Then Jr., still in his pajamas and with his hair rumpled all over the place, plops down across from him. Absently, he reaches out and grabs a banana from the bowl of fruit at the table.]

Dunno. You thinking of anything fun?

[mybrotherskeeper]

Depends on your definition. I heard an island might need clearing of inhabitants; it would make for a good staging area to get across the harbor.

[A slight chuckle at something on his phone, then he glances upwards at Jr.]

You look like you had a wild night. Who should I be prepared to see leaving your bed now?

[mybrotherskeeper]

I... suppose whatever floats your boat.

[red_dwarf]

[mybrotherskeeper]

I mean, I'm sure the lack of puberty didn't help, but...

[red_dwarf]

Hey!

That's not...

I mean...

I don't even know how she got there!

[mybrotherskeeper]

Ahh, the ol' "supposed to leave out the window" trick.

[red_dwarf]

Why would I even...?!

You know what? This is pointless. I give up.

[red_dwarf]

Yeah? That has potential!

[Jr. goes from frowning at Gaignun's chuckle to full-out blushing and flailing in a matter of moments.]

Wh-what?! No one! I mean...!

[He makes a visible effort to calm down.]

...Dammit, Gaignun.

[mybrotherskeeper]

And now you look the part more than ever.

[red_dwarf]

Who's fault is that?!

[mybrotherskeeper]

I'll know once they come out.

[red_dwarf]

There's no one in there, dammit!

[mybrotherskeeper]

Anymore.

What was that, was that supposed to be a pun? As a guy who was in the business of makin' nautically-themed puns for a while I gotta say I got serious critiques on your punnin' ability.

[mybrotherskeeper]

Then let's hear them. How would you reel this one in?

[beaches_and_wwhores]

Haha okay now that one wasn't bad, that's an old favorite. I can respect that, we all have some sinkers. You just gotta stay afloat with your best fin forward sometimes you know what I mean?
