[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.]

[ 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!

[chinagirl]

[ She stoops down, grabbing Gintoki by the bicep, and lifts him up a little, bringing his face close to hers. Seeing that he STILL isn't awake, she lets out an angry shriek. She grasps that arm firmly with both hands, and spins, almost like a fun "airplane" ride with a child, only the roles are reversed.

On the third or fourth spin, she releases him. ]

FINAL FLASH!!!!

[ The silver-haired man flies straight for the Saiyan. Looks like she learned a special technique after all. ]

[ Gintoki, who had passed out in pure shock from seeing Vegeta, was having a pleasant little dream about being the main character of Dr*gon B*ll Z, having mastered Kamehameha and all that jazz. It was quite a lovely dream, too, because of course, being the main character in a very popular shounen canon, everyone loved him. ]

[gin_san]

[ But somewhere along the lines, he started to feel a very strange sensation of flying, cold wind blowing over his chest. Little bits of snow melting on his skin. All quite strange, considering his dream was set in the summer and there shouldn't be anything like biting cold or snow or anything along those lines. And when he cracks his eyes open he is, indeed, flying, or maybe the sky is spinning or maybe-- ]

[gin_san]

[gin_san]

[gin_san]

[ HE'S ABOUT TO FLY INTO VEGETA. ]

done

[gin_san]

GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!

[ AND GINTOKI STARTS FLAILING AROUND BECAUSE SMASHING HEAD-FIRST INTO VEGETA WILL SURELY MEAN DEATH.

desperately

VERY DESPERATELY

trying to save his pathetic little life.]

1/? also hahhaha

[misterbrief]

[No what that's not Final Fla-]

[misterbrief]

[misterbrief]

[THERE'S NOT ENOUGH TIME TO REACT, HE WAS NOT EXPECTING HER TO-]

[misterbrief]

[AND THAT FAST-!]

done :3

[misterbrief]

[And Gintoki slams right into him, sending him flying backwards and landing on the ground, the silver-haired man now...lying on top of him.

He...was not expecting that.]

1/? sarie went afk for a bit, she'll be back in an hour or so :3

[gin_san]

[ GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

IT HAPPENED

IT REALLY HAPPENED]

[gin_san]

[ KAA-SANNN! KAAAAA-SAN! Gin-san could really use a Kaa-san right now! No wait, not a Kaa-san, Kaa-sans can't do anything other than make fried rice. They don't have any special powers like Kamehameha or Galaxy Breaker or THE FORCE. OB*-W*N K*N*BI PLEASE SEND HELP. Oiiiii! Ooooooooooooooi! Are you listening???????? ]

[gin_san]

[ And yes, it was always Gin-san's dream to become a main character in Dr*gon B*ll Z, but at this rate he'll only have about as much screen time as it took for T*en to blow himself up. Which is probably what's about to happen to Sakata Gintoki. ]

[gin_san]

[ Gintoki scrambles off Vegeta as fast as he can, hyperventilating and sweating profusely.

(Calm down, calm down. It's only Vegeta, right? He'll understand it wasn't Gin-san's fault, right? He won't put an end to Gin-san's short life of ten years of serialization in the Sazae-san format without even getting his whole back story yet, right? This ISN'T THE END YET, right? RIGHT?)

He thinks he's going to be sick. ]

[gin_san]

A-a-ah! Ve-Vegeta-san, er, -sama, er-- Oujisama. Vegeta Oujisama!

[ Maybe if Gintoki sucks up to him with enough honorifics it'll delay the inevitability of his complete utter destruction.

He bends down to help Vegeta up, and starts to brush him off as best as he can. ]

Ahh, I'm so very sorry for flying into you outta nowhere! [ NERVOUS LAUGHTER ha ha ha ha ha ha... ] Really, I didn't mean to knock you over or anything, so please don't use Final Shine on me or anything, I'm just a humble yorozuya who's trying to go on his way and not bother you any further... [ a ha ha ha

ha

ha.]

[gin_san]

[ But then.

The worst thing happens. ]

[gin_san]

[ Out of sheer nervousness and partially from being still quite sick from having feathers pulled out from his wing, Gintoki

pukes

right

down

the

front

of

Vegeta's

shirt.

To anyone else watching, it's a stream of mosaic. Possibly a bit blood-tinged. ]

done

[gin_san]

[ This is it.

It's over.

Gin-san's life.

Owari.

Please give me a nice funeral, Kagura-chan. ]

oh gin-san

[misterbrief]

[While Gintoki is helping him up, he bats the helping hand away, picking himself up. Barely listening to that babble coming out of his mouth (though it's about darn time someone called him by his title around here) he shoots a deadly, deadly glare at Kagura, his head turned though his torso still facing Gintoki...

That is, until the warm sensation of someone's vomit splashes and slides down his long-sleeved shirt. Not only that does it get on his scarf (because it's cold outside!), leaving him looking down in horror. But that horror only lasts a moment before that death glare is turned now on Gintoki.]

[His fists are shaking. He's so unbelievably angry that he's speechless for a moment. He doesn't know whether to kill him or her first, but if you were going on the humiliating scale, Gintoki would probably take the cake on this one. Yes, he can see that the boy's wings look injured. And yes, Vegeta himself has also puked because of the same thing when he first arrived here. But hell if he fucking cares right about now.

He takes the scarf, wipes the vomit the best he can off his shirt, throwing it to the ground- and shooting both of them glares that would kill the faint of heart.]

Now, if I didn't know any better, I'd say that the two of you have just earned a one-way trip to hell. Who would like to go first? Luckily enough for you I'm not picky and I'm accepting requests right now. [Because he sure as hell is going to kill someone today.]

Re: oh gin-san

[chinagirl]

[ She can't give Gintoki his nice funeral, or accept her free trip to Hell, because after watching the scene go down, frozen in horror at the realization of what she's actually done, she's starting to feel a little ill herself. And the smell of Gintoki's (most likely booze-soaked) vomit hits her nose, sending her into her own barfing fit. A pool of mosaic, or partially digested tamago bukkake gohan egg rice, if you please, starts to pool around her. ]

1/2

[gin_san]

[ Oh hell no oh fuck oh god he's gonna die he's gonna die he's gonna piss himself.

Gintoki wipes the puke from his mouth with the back of his hand and slowly takes one step back, and then another, and then another. ]
