[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.]

A crossover aru?! Where's that chinagirl character?

[ She narrows her eyes. SHE HAS A SCORE TO SETTLE, OKAY? ]

[believeit]

China-who now?

[chinagirl]

[ She just points to her hairbuns. She wants the character who OBVIOUSLY ripped this style off. ]

[believeit]

[The hair? Oh.]

You mean Tenten?

[chinagirl]

[ She cracks her knuckles, grinning menacingly. ]

There's only room for one China character, so where is she? She is not your girlfriend aru, is she?

[believeit]

[No, but she was his wife in that fakey fake Luceti Valley.]

N-no, of course not! Why would you say that!

[chinagirl]

Because you're hiding her, and because men can't resist foreign-looking women. Of course you were probably harboring a secret crush, yes?

[believeit]

I DON'T HAVE A CRUSH ON TENTEN OKAY!

[chinagirl]

Now it is only obvious that it is true! I do not want to have to separate lovers, but it is for the good of the ratings aru!

threadjacks threadjacks

[gin_san]

[ And, out of nowhere, a fist slams down on Kagura's head and Gintoki suddenly intrudes. ]

Oi, get it right, kusogaki. Naruto's supposed to end up with Sakura, not Tenten!

[believeit]

Uh.. yeah, yeah! That's right!

[Still dunno who you are but YEAH. SAKURA.]

[chinagirl]

FUAHAHA!

[ She glances away as she lets out that snotty and mocking laugh. ]

You two know nothing! Sure, it used to be that way, the main character would get his main love interest aru. But in modern times, stories do not work like that anymore. Look at Gin-chan! He can not even allow someone else in his body to ask Anego on a date.

There is no hope for either of you. You will marry side characters aru.

[gin_san]

[ This time the smack is way harder. WAY. HARDER. ]

Oi, don't mistake me for the Gorilla!

[believeit]

Hey, you don't even know me! Of course I'm gonna marry Sakura-chan!

[chinagirl]

Maybe we should ask her if she thinks so.

[ She looks off camera. ]

Sakura, oi! I gotta ask you something!

[believeit]

[Oh crap.]

N-no no! It's okay you don't have to ask her anything!

[bunsofsteel]

[Ahem.]

Speaking of asking people things, who the hell is this girl and what've you told her about what didn't happen, Naruto?

[believeit]

[Oh double crap.]

I haven't told her anything! I don't even know her!!

[medicalpunch]

[And off-camera, but audible...]

What do you want?

[Kagura's already on the wrong foot with her, but not so much that she won't answer. She hasn't been paying attention to the conversation yet, though.]

[chinagirl]

[ She closes her finger in the journal, marking the page, and effectively covering the camera and mic, without totally cutting the video.

She then points to the window of the clinic, where a giant white dog is sitting, waiting patiently for its owners. ]

Do you think my dog is cute aru? He drools a lot, but he is still cute, yes?

[ And she casually flips the journal open again, so Naruto can hear her reaction. ]

o m g I just about died reading this tag

[medicalpunch]

[Something about this seems a little sketchy, but Sakura glances over toward the dog, considering.]

Well, I suppose he is pretty cute. Even if he could stand to be a little cleaner.

[niceguypose]

Naruto-kun! When did this proposal occur?! Why was I never informed?!

[believeit]

What proposal?! There hasn't been one?!

[bunsofsteel]

[Just ignore her raising eyebrows at you Nardo. Apparently there was one.]

[niceguypose]

There hasn't?! I... I didn't even know!

That... the two of you - are so close to not even need a proposal! [It's so heartwarming that he's crying tears of joy... which are mingling freely with his tears of sorrow.]
