[VIDEO/ACTION] Imperfect Wings Won't Get You Into S*ul S*ciety

[gin_san]

[ You’re flying!

Or more specifically, the video (also known as the journal) is flying! There is a spot of cloud, and there’s another slice of tree, and a whole lot of snow, and then with a rather unimpressive thump, the entire thing comes to a stop with a small puff of snow covering one corner of the screen, which appears to be sideways and hanging from a branch of a tree, under which two people stand -- a tall, silver haired man with silvery white wings, and a short, red-haired girl with bright red wings.

It appears that he was mid-shout when the journal opened, as he has a finger pointed up in the direction of the journal and is gesticulating furiously. ]

-- YOU WANT IT SO MUCH, WHY DON’T YOU GO UP THERE AND GET IT, HAH?!?!

[ Clearly, this is the main character of the show, because he’s 1.) shirtless, 2.) quite loud, and also 3.) has the Protagonist Image, being shirtless and buff and all. (And yes, of course he is the protagonist, because he is Gintoki, and that makes him the star of Gintama, and you are currently watching part of season 7, which has not yet begun to air on TV Tokyo because Gintama has been on hiatus. It is not in fact canceled, as you might believe.) ]

Gin-chaaaaan!

[ The girl huffs angrily, looking from the journal, to the “protagonist", gritting her teeth angrily. That journal was hers, and she knew it. Surely, an angel wouldn’t do something like this. An angel wouldn’t put her through the daily torment that Gintoki does. So she makes her decision in an instant.

He doesn’t deserve to be an angel.

She reaches out quickly, aiming to rip one of those stupid wings off of his back. She only manages a handful of feathers, but still, her point is probably made. ]

Fly up there and get it now aru, you bastard!

[ And of course, because this is Gintama, or more specifically, a Gintama roleplay, instead of just a small trickle of blood and a scream or something along those lines, there’s an explosion of blood and Gintoki goes pale and suddenly staggers as he clutches at his poor wing (is he actually serious? he’s not actually serious, is he, this is just for dramatic effect isn’t it) and actually collapses onto the ground.

He may or may not be slightly twitching.

It’s all very dramatic.]

Gin-chan?

[ For a moment, she nearly ignores him and trudges off through the snow without him. But that twitching… It’s a little disconcerting. She crouches next to him and pats his face roughly. ]

Oi, there’s parfaits over in that snow bank. I wasn’t going to tell you aru, but if you get up you can have one.

[ At first there’s no response, and then Gintoki slowly manages to move his head to look up at Kagura the way a man close to DEATH might. ]

I can’t do it. You ripped out my re*atsu when you ripped out my feathers. Without a full set of wings, I can’t enter S*ul S*ciety.

[ Her eyes widen at that. Is it true? Will he really get left behind while she ascends? ]

I’m sorry, Gin-chan! Please wait, I will carry you to the hospital aru!

[ BUT FIRST, she’ll step away, and crouch down to dig a little hole in the snow, where she buries those feathers. She doesn’t want any B*nkai wielding S*ul S*ciety sh*n*gam* after her.

And when they are sufficiently hidden, she won’t go to immediately pick him up. She instead hops up to knock that journal out of the tree. She tucks it down the front of her shirt, then she’ll hoist the man on to her back, and start running through the trees. She actually has no idea where she’s going, so she’ll probably circle back around at some point.]

[believeit]

Wait, wait! We're not actually getting married!

[Yet cough cough.]

[niceguypose]

But you just said that you were! And... and Tenten, too?!

To marry more than one... Naruto-kun, what are your intentions?! Do you see this as part of becoming the Hokage? Naruto-kun, what is the purpose of your quest for brides?!

[believeit]

I'M NOT ON A QUEST FOR BRIDES!!

[niceguypose]

YOU COULD HAVE FOOLED ME, NARUTO-KUN! IN FACT, YOU ALREADY HAVE!

[believeit]

I WAS JUST SAYING MAYBE I'LL GET MARRIED IN THE FUTURE! THE TENTEN THING WAS DIFFERENT!

[niceguypose]

DIFFERENT, NARUTO-KUN?! OR DO YOU MEAN TO SAY, THE SAME?!

[believeit]

THIS PLACE MADE ME MARRY HER, REMEMBER?!

[niceguypose]

...

I AM NOT SURE!

[believeit]

[Oh Lee doesn't remember? Ok well he stops yelling at least.]

Oi.. you remember that Valley place where I ended up a teacher? I was married to Tenten.

[niceguypose]

I remember Luceti Valley! And I remember you teaching me the ways of the gymnasium! I am just... having trouble recalling if I met your wife. Who was Tenten?!

[believeit]

I don't think you met her then. She was normally at home, doing some..work thing... with clothes...

[Tenten as a seamstress it just doesn't seem right.]

And Ikki was our kid! She kinda looks like Tenten though, with the hair. Hah..

IT KEEPS HAPPENING

[bunsofsteel]

WE HAD A KID?!

[niceguypose]

Ikki-chan! That's right. The resemble is uncanny.

But, ah, now that that has been settled... We still have a more important matter to discuss. Sakura-san!

[breezing]

You forgot about Chien! Chien was part of the family too.

[ hi this will help surely ]

[bunsofsteel]

Lee, don't listen to him! We were never married, and we're never going to be, okay?!

[niceguypose]

Tenten! I want to believe you, but is this the truth?!

1/2

[bunsofsteel]

Of course it's the truth! Why would I marry Naruto of all people?! He's not even my type!

[bunsofsteel]

But apparently somehow we got married in a valley?! It doesn't make sense, I don't remember it at all!

[niceguypose]

Tenten, I am unaware of your type! I always thought you were an independent woman who didn't need a man! Luceti Valley... It did make many unlikely couples! And... it is in the time that you do not remember!

[bunsofsteel]

I-- what?! Look, that doesn't matter! Just remember that there's no way I'm marrying Naruto. Again. Or whatever!

[niceguypose]

But what if the Malnosso try to drive you together, despite your intentions? You must be on guard, Tenten! [Beware their shipping ways.]

[bunsofsteel]

I'll stab him in the eye if he tries it.

[She solemnly swears.]

[believeit]

YOU CAN'T STAB ME!!

[bunsofsteel]

WATCH ME!

[niceguypose]

PLEASE, THERE'S NO NEED TO FIGHT EACH OTHER! YOU USED TO LOVE EACH OTHER APPARENTLY!
