02x. [Action - Fourth Wall Event]

[It's been a surprisingly explosion-free few days.

It's not that Kimblee doesn't enjoy having his alchemy back, as he certainly does. However, he doesn't have a proper outlet for it (..."proper") and there's that battle recently, odd and dreamlike and just kind of hovering on the outer edges of his memory - he suspects it wasn't quite a dream and there's been more than enough evidence to back that up, but really, there's not much to be done about it.

So he's restless as hell. Restless as hell is never a good thing.

Today he's got Ayanami out with him, and they appear to be exchanging blows; whether encouraging this with something that's actively tried to kill him in the past is a good idea or not is apparently of no consequence to him today, since he seems to be having a grand old time either way - the shocks she's sending at him are being countered with sharp snaps of his hands coming together and whips of energy detonating in midair when they connect with the electricity, and the explosions are loud and he isn't flinching at them in the least, and the look in his eyes is getting manic.]


Again - come now, you can do better than that!

[That's about the point when Ayanami decides to prove that she can, in fact, do better than that; she waits until the next time he fires off one of those explosive currents and promptly Mirror Coats him, and he's suddenly very, very grateful that getting kicked out of Johto for a month and a half seems to have done wonders for his spine because holy shit, nothing like having an explosion rebounded at you for double the damage, getting the hell out of the way is probably prudent.

But then the air clears and Kimblee is laughing like this is the greatest damn thing he's ever seen, and he's looking a bit of a mess but hey, at least he's happy, even if he's probably deaf as hell after that - ]


That's more like it; absolutely beautiful!

[...right. Well, either way, he doesn't seem to mind.]



[OOC: He can be run into just about anywhere because Johto is, as usual for these things, completely on the blink; he's going to be a bit...um, excited no matter where you happen to run into him because yay alchemy, but you are more than welcome to put him where you want him - he'll be ending up in Goldenrod after the event, however, so he'll definitely be there at some point!]

Well, you...didn't tell me what to do with it yet.

[And sure enough, that just kind of stalls her out a minute, because. Um.]

W-Well...

[Okay, so that means she's probably going to need a...plan...]

I...guess we should get it out of the motor pool first.

[OBLIGATORY IMPLICIT QUESTION MARK.]

[WHAT IS INITIATIVE IS THAT SOMETHING YOU EAT.]

This one will seat two, so...

[So get on.

...

Please?

When you, um.

Feel like it.]
dixiechick: (JUMP ☆ are you sure this is therapy)

[personal profile] dixiechick 2013-11-29 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
[PROBABLY.]

No, like this.

[LOOK MAN SHE'S JUST GOING TO...rearrange you here because wow it's like you've never seen a motorcycle before, much less how to ride backseat on one.]

All right. Hold on!

[VROOM VROOM. Once all seems reasonably secure, she slams the throttle, guns the engine, and takes off for the exit — thankfully, with a lot more confidence and apparent aptitude than she's been otherwise displaying all day.]

[They're going along at a pretty fair clip through the motor pool and out onto the main drag, but once they hit the open highway, it's like something finally clicks within Carmen; goodness knows there's a lot out there that she isn't good at, and she fails often and repeatedly at most everything she tries, but this is about more than just the speed and the wind whipping in her face — it's the fact that when she's driving, she's in control, and there are no walls and bars and raised voices to keep her contained. She has a vehicle under her and controls in her hands and all the road in the world to make her own, and he'd said she'd be going back someday (back to prison, back to Mason) and it's finally sunk in that even if she is, she'd better enjoy this while it lasts.

If they die here, it's not going to be because they've crashed; it'll be because she's pushed this machine so far past the limits of physics that it's surrendered to inevitability and just plain blown up beneath them.

Faster, faster. Bluebirds fly over the rainbow, but she can fly over land, and she will.]
