[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.)]

...

This place officially sucks ass.

Who do I have to beat up to get us all out of here?

[identity profile] heroistics.livejournal.com 2011-11-20 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
... I don't think beating anyone up will help, Aniki.

[identity profile] teeniki.livejournal.com 2011-11-20 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
That's a loser's attitude, Renton.

[identity profile] heroistics.livejournal.com 2011-11-20 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I just don't think that beating things up is really a good solution to things.

[identity profile] teeniki.livejournal.com 2011-11-20 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Still sounds like a loser's mentality to me.

[identity profile] heroistics.livejournal.com 2011-11-20 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
... Can I take back what I said about you being a good aniki?

[identity profile] teeniki.livejournal.com 2011-11-20 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
... well that seems kinda petty.

[identity profile] heroistics.livejournal.com 2011-11-20 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
And saying that not liking to beat people up is a loser's mentality is kind of stupid, Aniki.

[???]

Hell're you talkin' about? If they ain't lettin' us go yet when we're all complainin', what're we supposed to do? If negotiation ain't possible, the only way to do it is force. Because otherwise, you've got tots like Minato here being abducted and that's just an asshole move.

[identity profile] heroistics.livejournal.com 2011-11-20 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
So you're saying you should act on impulse when you don't understand the full situation?

[identity profile] teeniki.livejournal.com 2011-11-20 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
What is there to understand when there are people being mistreated?

[identity profile] heroistics.livejournal.com 2011-11-20 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[He looks away for a moment, a flicker of grief passing through his face (thinking of that dying girl—).]

Good intentions don't always equal good results. Moving recklessly can just get more people hurt.

At least think of a plan first.

Find out where the assholes are.

Kick their asses.

Done.

[identity profile] heroistics.livejournal.com 2011-11-26 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
... Yeah, you're not gonna get very far with that.

[identity profile] teeniki.livejournal.com 2011-11-28 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
And why the hell is that so?

[identity profile] heroistics.livejournal.com 2011-11-28 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
For starters, I don't think we really know exactly who's behind this, unless you plan on just beating the crap out of everyone you suspect...

[... Actually, he wouldn't doubt that.]
