003: action

[gunite.livejournal.com]

[Irvine is in the Cafeteria, crouched over a newsletter laid upon the table he's occupying. For the most part he's keeping a straight face as he combs through the issues, which doesn't take very long. (There's a slight tug at the corner of his lips towards the end, however.) When he appears to finish he sets the newsletter aside and leans back against the chair.

There's a lot begging to be discussed, though he isn't thinking too deeply on them. In fact, as per his habit he's also taking the time to eye a female cadet or two whenever she comes into view.]

Oh, I'm just full of things like that.

[gunite.livejournal.com]

A natural instigator, eh?

[fierybluebird]

Very.

What can I say? I get bored easily.

[gunite.livejournal.com]

Does that mean you're gonna be participating, too?

[fierybluebird]

Oh definitely.

Anyone who manages to find me will get a reward. Sort of the golden goose of the game you could say.

[gunite.livejournal.com]

There's another incentive. That good at hiding?

[fierybluebird]

If I want to be.

You could say it's magic.

[gunite.livejournal.com]

Devil Fruit.

[fierybluebird]

Bingo. You catch on quickly, eh.

[gunite.livejournal.com]

Things got clearer after I saw a bird.

[fierybluebird]

Mm.

I was a little out of it after not sleeping for two weeks. Never doing that again even on a bet.

[gunite.livejournal.com]

Good choice. Sleep's important.

[fierybluebird]

I've never tried to stay up long before. I figured it was worth it.

I guess you know why I was so curious about guardian forces and phoenixes then.

Any chance I can ask you to keep it quiet?

[gunite.livejournal.com]

Was it?

After that time at the quad, more or less. Don't worry. I won't tell.

[fierybluebird]

I headed off nightmares for two weeks and by the time it snuck up on me my phoenix form had take over so it wasn't quite so bad. So yeah, I guess so. Still never doing it again.

Thanks. In my world there aren't any phoenixes that I know of. I'm the only one... of a sort. Sort of a fake phoenix at that. It's too much bother if everyone thought they could find real phoenixes through me or use my feathers to bring people back from the dead.

[gunite.livejournal.com]

Fair enough.

I get it. You've got valid reasons, considering the nature of phoenixes and all; if me keeping my mouth closed is what you want, I'll do that.

[fierybluebird]

Thanks. Still planning on joining the game? My hide and go seek tricks aren't just that I can turn blue and fiery.

[gunite.livejournal.com]

Why not? It'd give me something to do. And I didn't think so.

[fierybluebird]

Excellent, eh. It should be a blast.

[gunite.livejournal.com]

Here's hoping.

[fierybluebird]

You have played before, right?

[gunite.livejournal.com]

Of course I have. Wasn't a favorite, but I've played.

[fierybluebird]

Yeah, what was your favorite?

[gunite.livejournal.com]

Something more romantic.

[fierybluebird]

You've clearly never gotten purposely lost with someone attractive, eh?
