[The feed clicks on to a pirate sitting cross-legged with a child on his lap. Surely neither of those two looks familiar. Nope. Not at all.

But the [livejournal.com profile] lunateclock is quiet, hands in his lap and peering up at the [livejournal.com profile] treasurehunted instead of paying any attention to the camera at the moment.

Motochika, on the other hand, is... actually not that attentive as he looks to the camera with a slight frown. Tilting his head, he almost yawns--]


Alright, I'm gonna say my piece once and once alone. Somebody went and thought it'd be a bright idea to abduct the Little Demon of Shikoku. I'll go ahead and applaud ya for gettin' this far, but there's hell t'pay for it! Bring me back home before I get real angry! Tch. I'm pretty pissed as is.

How 'bout you, Minato? 'cept yer not allowed to use the word I just used.
[and he spares the time to glance down at Minato

The child's insta-reaction is to nod! But then he pauses mid nod and thinks about it for a moment. Angry...? No, he's not really angry. So have a quiet shake of his head instead. :O]


You're not helping me at all, kiddo. [sigh. he's cracking his neck once before wrapping an arm around Minato to keep a hold on him before changing the angle of the SFC.]  By the way, I found 'im by the mutated coral- ... which you should probably get looked at before it turns into a problem, y'know.

Anyway. Let me know if he's yours? I mean, I won't give him up to anyone - what kind of ass treats a child so lightly like that? But if ya can help me find his guardians, I'd appreciate it. 'til then, he's in the custody of Chosokabe Motochika and I'll keep 'im safe 'til his folks claim him. [Resting his chin on top of Minato's head-] Is that cool with you, Minato?

[Oh. There's a chin on his head. guess that means he has to talk. It's quiet, but hey, the kid has a voice!]

...Kay.

Hah! [His arm retracts as he ruffles Minato's hair with a big grin. Then he nods at the SFC.] There! Ya heard it yerself. I've got dibs until one of ya proves yerself to me, alright? Or you can just hand over the map to the exit and we'll be on our way and I'll find his home myself. Up to you!

[ooc: Motochika & Minato have both been aged down to 17 and 6, respectively! [livejournal.com profile] teeniki & [livejournal.com profile] hideallnoise might be used to do some tagging, too. You'll get separate threads with them but Motochika might choose to intervene to be over-protective. (Also chances of Motochika letting go of Minato are slim. Like. So slim they're non-existent. Be careful, he's not against biting.)]

[PEOPLE DON'T CARE ABOUT HIS FEELINGS WHY SHOULD HE CARE ABOUT YOURS. :|]

... That's it? 'Oh'?

[identity profile] hideallnoise.livejournal.com 2011-11-21 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
[HE'S SIX GIVE HIM A BREAK.

and it's pretty clear he doesn't really get it. He has to work through that one for a second and then...]


...Yes...?

[identity profile] beforeistole.livejournal.com 2011-11-21 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
You're Minato, right? [Then be his friend. He'll only boss you around.]

What's your favourite pokemon?

[identity profile] hideallnoise.livejournal.com 2011-11-21 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Nod! That's him, yep.

Er but...]


What's a...

[Insert concentration here.]

Pokey...man?

[identity profile] predivine.livejournal.com 2011-11-21 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
[HE'S SEVEN. YOUR POINT?

And for a while, he stares, before scoffing.]


... You're just like how I was.

[identity profile] heroistics.livejournal.com 2011-11-21 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
Six, huh? That's pretty big!

[identity profile] beforeistole.livejournal.com 2011-11-21 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
[..And cue an incredulous look.] What do you mean? You've-- how can you not know what a pokemon is?

[Seriously, Silver knew what a pokemon was before he could even walk or talk. To think of someone not knowing that is - is-

Is nigh unthinkable.
] Oh whatever. Here, this is a pokemon.

[Cue his Sneasel being shown. It, like most of Silver's other pokemon when out of pokeballs, is linefacing; gdi Vatheon, what did you do to their Master?]

[identity profile] summum-ius.livejournal.com 2011-11-21 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. We live together when you're older. ... And when I'm younger. I'm not usually this old.

Minato Arisato.

[She feels really bad because this is Minato, when Death got sealed into him by Aigis. Which was the fault of the Kirijo Group.]

You're a child now... are you alright?

[identity profile] hideallnoise.livejournal.com 2011-11-21 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Sure, sure, he's fine. He's got aniki and he knows that his parents aren't coming so at least that's a step up from what he was expecting.

so you get a nod.]


Aniki said he'd stay.

[So he's not alone then.]

[identity profile] hideallnoise.livejournal.com 2011-11-21 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh.

Was that wrong? ;;;

Either way, he stares at the sneasel a moment.]


...It's like a cat.

[Sure Minato. Whatever you say.]

[identity profile] hideallnoise.livejournal.com 2011-11-21 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Renton you are so cute.

But that leaves Minato blinking.

Um.]


Really...?

[identity profile] immortalityact.livejournal.com 2011-11-21 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
Do you want to come with me? All your things are back at the dorm.

[She just wants to hug you and give you some milk and cookies, okay?]

Or we can stay here with... "aniki".

[When was Chosokabe Motochika a big brother figure all of a sudden? This wasn't in the history books.]

[identity profile] hideallnoise.livejournal.com 2011-11-21 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
[They're both messed up brats?

...

...???]


Oh...

Um.

What do you mean?

[identity profile] hideallnoise.livejournal.com 2011-11-21 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
[....what.

Do you realize how confusing that sounds to a six year old?

...???]


...Oh. Um.

Is this bad?

[identity profile] summum-ius.livejournal.com 2011-11-21 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Th-those eyes...]

It's... not so bad. It'll wear off in a while. Are you okay?

[identity profile] hideallnoise.livejournal.com 2011-11-21 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
[nod nod nod why is everyone so convinced he might not be okay? He's fine as far as he knows.

...???]


You said it was different and sometime's different's bad.

[identity profile] predivine.livejournal.com 2011-11-21 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
[... Fair enough.]

You're too weak. If you don't stand up for yourself, then people will just continue to hurt you.

[... Wait why is he telling a human this.

Oh well.]


Well, they'll probably hurt you anyway. But maybe not you, since you're human...

[1/3]

[identity profile] teeniki.livejournal.com 2011-11-21 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Motochika's been listening in on this and as Minato is silent for a bit as he always tends to be, he rests his chin on Minato's head and gets his word in edge-wise.]

... yeah. Hey Minato, I don't wanna go and take your options from you once they're becomin' clearer and all.

Do you want me to drop ya off with her? Or you can stay with me if that's what ya want. I'll miss yer company and all-

But it's your choice.

[identity profile] heroistics.livejournal.com 2011-11-21 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
[... What why.]

Yeah! I know a few kids like you, but they're not as big as you yet.

[2/3]

[identity profile] hideallnoise.livejournal.com 2011-11-21 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
[....choices what are those.

As much as he can remember it's more "this is where you're going now" "this is who you're staying with now" and while they both make the choice clear and easy to understand, it makes him pause.

...

...]


...um.

[Passive indecisive child--but then, with a mind as much a mess as his can be sometimes, it's not so surprising.

In the end though, he trusts Aniki, but he likes Mitsuru already. So his answer is not really an answer at all.]


I don't want to leave.

[Because he doesn't like when he has to leave. But--]

Can she stay?

[3/3]

[identity profile] teeniki.livejournal.com 2011-11-21 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
[... he blinks before aiming a grin to Mitsuru.]

Well I dunno.

Can she?

I sure wouldn't mind that either.

[identity profile] hideallnoise.livejournal.com 2011-11-21 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
[He's not really used to being called big if that isn't obvious enough.]

Oh.

That sounds good.

Are they here?

[identity profile] hideallnoise.livejournal.com 2011-11-21 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
[...oh.

Ouch.

Um.

...]


Sorry.

[That's what you say when you've made someone else mad, right?]

[identity profile] summum-ius.livejournal.com 2011-11-21 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
Sometimes. But sometimes it's not. Like...

[- Ah!]

Like most people aren't missing an eye, so Motochika is different. But he's not bad, right?
