Dance of the Plum [ACTION]

[eggplantallergy]

[In the training center, there is a male with purple hair, looking as if he was dancing, but really practicing his sword swings.

Until you hear this melody come from his weapon. High slashes give off high notes, low slashes for low notes, and all else in between are thanks to fast movements and gliding the rainbow blade through the air to allow the notes to resonate.

He looks really into it.]

[Neku was in the Training Center today, attempting to figure out strange new weapons. Key word: attempting. He kind of wanted to go back to the magical pins. They were much lighter, for one thing; he couldn't even hit the trees, much less the creepish vine things that crawled around here, so he always ended up fleeing from them.]

[But he stops this when he heard music, high and whistling music, coming from somewhere else in the area. So he's just going to stand there, watch Gakupo, and listen.]

[Gakupo does a roundhouse when he notices someone, and almost falls on his face. Luckily, he just stumbles a lot. He clears his throat.]

Ah...was I disturbing you?

[7-days-clapping.livejournal.com]

No. Just listening. Carry on.

[Seriously though, making music with a sword? That's awesome.]

[eggplantallergy]

[Kinda creepy, but he's not unused to crowds. He'll just continue on!]

What were you doing before? [Playing sword music and talking, yup.]

[A wild Zigzagoon appeared! Fight / Pokemon / Bag / Run]

[eggplantallergy]

[Pokemon--Oh wait...

Gotta fight?]

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

[The wild Zigzagoon used Growl!]

[eggplantallergy]

[...is it loud?]

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

[Yup, and surprisingly angry-sounding for such a little raccoon!]

[Robin's not going to disturb senpai, especially since he looks really into it.

Still, the sight nearly distracts the kid from defeating Grats. Belatedly remembering to finish it off, he then slowly wanders over in Gakupo's direction and watches. Huh. Robin didn't even know swords could do that!]

[eggplantallergy]

[If he can face a few powerful GFs and Mewtwo, h-he can handle this!

First, he'll try to draw magic from it, to see what he can get.]

[eggplantallergy]

[He forgot all about Grats, but he sees one inching towards him. With narrowed eyes, Gakupo breaks his melody to slash at it once, defeating it easily before going back to where he left off.]

{ Appears out of nowhere.

WOW!

[bunnypassingby]

[Draw failed! Gaks, bro, I'm pretty sure you know how to Tackle someone.]

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

[Oy.

For once, being a ninja isn't working in his favor...] How are you even able to do that?

[eggplantallergy]

[Startled!]

UWAA!

[eggplantallergy]

[It's rather hard to hear footsteps over this music, so Gakupo stops abruptly, seeing a costumed youth behind him. He remembers that person from a while ago...]

I'm not doing anything. It's the way the sword was created.

[eggplantallergy]

[Why would he tackle a wild Pokemon?!

Gakupo simply throws out an ice spell, not wanting to harm it, but maybe it'll scare it off...]

[yellowzippers.livejournal.com]

[ Blinks at him.]

Oops... Sorry!

[bunnypassingby]

[That's all you'd get out of a Zigzagoon!!

[The wild Zigzagoon stupidly used Tackle right into the ice spell's path! Zigzagoon was frozen solid!]

[bratbeyond.livejournal.com]

Really?

[He has to remind himself that Gakupo doesn't know his secret identity. So Robin bites his lip, trying to be careful about what he says next:] Did you just buy it that way? Or did someone put a spell on it or something?

[eggplantallergy]

It's...alright. You simply startled me a bit...

[eggplantallergy]

[It would seem wrong to finish it off, but if he didn't, that thing would attack again.

Better to through another ice spell at it. He feels so bad for doing this...]

[eggplantallergy]

That's a good question. This sword was passed down from my father, and his father to him, and so on. It's an heirloom, but I don't know how it was forged.

[bunnypassingby]

[Zigzagoon fainted!]
