[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.]

[Action] After the clinic visit sometime!

[misterbrief]

[He's headed home, traveling from the square, that will eventually pass by the clinic, and a bunch of other places, BUT EITHER WAY. HE'S RIGHT THERE. PASSING RIGHT BY THEM.

Looking grouchy of course. He spots the two, noticing how banged up the male looks, but he probably deserved it. And he'll just scowl at the two of them, arms folded.]

[chinagirl]

[ She almost doesn't notice Vegeta at first. There's the promise of free food at the end of the street, and she's running ahead of Gintoki. Since she's the stronger of the two, she can muscle her way in and get them more.

She freezes in her tracks when she DOES notice him though. SHE KNOWS ABOUT HIM. How he eats alien hands and marries pretty Earth girls. He's obviously there to challenge the strongest samurai from Earth. So she gasps in shock, taking a step backward. ]

It's Piccolo aru!

[misterbrief]

[Normally he'd just keep walking but...]

Do I look green and ugly to you?! [WAIT A SEC] And how does someone like you know that name?!

[chinagirl]

[ For a really long moment, she gives him a hard stare. He might be ugly, but is he green? Hm... It's tough to tell in this light.

Still though, she'll move in closer, and rest a hand alongside her cheek, as if telling a secret so Gintoki can't hear. ]

Even if you have lost your green color, you can still teach me a Kamehameha, yes?

[misterbrief]

....

[Give him a second because he's trying to control his temper. Just. Give him a second.]

I'm not the Namek. And you can forget learning any sort of technique from me.

[chinagirl]

[ She gives a little sigh, and a shrug. ]

I guess it will be harder to find the rest of the balls without a special technique aru, but then I won't have to share all my egg wishes that way at least.

[misterbrief]

[So obviously this girl is from his world. Knows about Piccolo, the Kamehameha, and the Dragonballs?]

Well perhaps you should think about finding a better master then. [He bets she's one of that idiot loudmouth's students. World champ. Hah.]

[chinagirl]

Okay! I was told that S*iyans are the strongest aru, almost as strong as Yato, but if it is not true, I will ask the turtle to train me instead, Nappa! Right Gin-chan?

[ She turns to find her employer, not standing there admiring Vegeta from a far, but on the ground, unconscious. ]

GIN-CHAN?

[gin_san]

[ You see, the reason why Gintoki has not peed his little fanboy panties yet is because he passed out in shock the moment he saw Vegeta. ]

oh my god 1/?

[misterbrief]

[...Nappa?]

2/2 YEAH just 2 will do it i think

[misterbrief]

[SUDDENLY, ANGER. He reaches out to grab Kagura by her shirt.]

Who are you, tell me this instant. There is absolutely no reason for you to know that name and I'll blast you to kingdom come if you don't explain yourself, so out with it.

[Cuz who cares about Gintoki, right?]

[chinagirl]

[ She just stands there, looking almost bored with this. ]

If I tell you, can you teach me a special technique before Gin-chan can learn one aru?

[misterbrief]

I'm not going to be teaching you anything at all! [His grip on her shirt tightens.] Don't you know who you're dealing with?

[Because how the fuck does someone know Piccolo and not him, he lives in actual fucking civilization for the love of the galaxy]

[chinagirl]

Hm... [ She taps her finger against her chin thoughtfully. ]

Oh I know! You are Vegeta, yes? I can tell because you have the same aura as Gin-chan. The aura of someone who does not earn money aru.

[misterbrief]

You should know who I am from the World Martial Arts Tournament. [He doesn't need to earn money the fuck he's a prince why the fuck does that matter.]

[He lets go of her, pointing an angry index finger.] I have far better things to do than waste my time at an Earthling job, for your information. You should be thankful you're alive, so don't you get on me.

[Maybe this argument has happened before in the Brief household. Maybe it has.]

[chinagirl]

Does this mean you will not train me aru? Even if I get a new tail?

[misterbrief]

No. [Hell no he's not what.]

Ah- your what? What do you mean a new tail?

[chinagirl]

[ She points to her tailbone ]

I pulled the old one off aru. But if I get a new one I can have a special technique aru, correct?

[ Let's just not mention it wasn't a tail she was born with or anything. ]

[misterbrief]

Are you trying to say that you're a Saiyan? Because I can tell that you clearly are not. [He would know if there were any more Saiyans, darn it.]

[chinagirl]

[ She shakes her head. ]

I am an amanto though, like a S*iyan. I came to Earth the same way, from another planet. There are other kinds of toppings for rice on Earth, so it was a good choice.

But I also came to Earth to get stronger aru! And if I do not get a special technique before Gin-chan, then Kagutama can not happen aru.

[misterbrief]

You know you don't need to bleep yourself out anymore, it's annoying and it makes me want to crush your skull. [Anyway]

I've never heard of the Amanto race, so whatever Kagutama is, I couldn't care less. [She must know Nappa because he might of been the one to commit mass genocide on their planet. Too bad Vegeta missed out on that fun.]

So it seems that you're just going to have to deal with it and this Gin-chan- [He says while glancing down at her pathetic unconscious partner-] will just have to be the victor.

[chinagirl]

[ She nearly corrects him, Amanto isn't her race, Yato is, but she stops. He's really not going to train her! She has to think fast! ]

Wait aru! You don't understand!

[ She rushes forward, and grabs onto his sleeve, looking up at him with tear-filled eyes. Her accent is mysteriously gone, and she now sounds like an emotional shoujo voiceover. ]

I promised! My mother was a beautiful and rich woman from Earth, who was in line to run a large corporation. She was known for her love of science, and her beautiful blue hair. But she made a mistake. She had a child with some second rate fighter who died in every big arc. She had to send me away to a remote planet, because of the shame it brought to her family.

But I promised that I would train every day. I would become a strong fighter to protect my mother and her home planet!

[misterbrief]

[Vegeta pulls a face, yanking his arm away from her.]

Quiet! What is wrong with you? [He's not stupid, the first part of that sounds SUSPICIOUSLY like she's describing Bulma. What's with that second rate fighter bit anyway? Probably Yamcha]

It's none of my concern to train you. You're just a child and I don't have time to waste with the likes of you! [He looks back over to Gintoki, with a look of digust.] Now why don't you wake that idiot up and get away from me!

[chinagirl]

[ WHAT THE HELL? That so would have worked on ANYONE back in Edo. Seething, she spins on her heel, and slams her fist straight through the front wall of the clinic. Sorry clinic. ]

GIN-CHAN!!! [ Cue Yakuza imitation ] If you ever read Jump again, I'll send you back to your boyhood with my fists aru.

[misterbrief]

[He'd be impressed with her hand going through the clinic wall if everyone he knew wasn't able to do the same thing with ease.]

It is not necessary to yell that loud! [His finger is starting to tap against his arm.] Now hurry it up!
