5th rise of the phoenix ஜ Audio / Action for Spades possible

[The message comes at night, as he's wandering on the deck. He's not up for guard duty tonight, but he still can't sleep, even if now that island is at a good distance away from them, the effects it had on him haven't vanished. He's still too close to his boiling point, or maybe he's already boiling and it's just a matter of time before he explodes in a ball of fire, anger and hate. Sleeping isn't an option in this state and he knows it better than anyone else. While asleep he may not be able to control his Cosmo, or he may enter into a nightmare that finally tips him over the edge. He may fall into sleep deep enough that he won't be able to know where he is when he wakes up, if someone comes to wake him up he may attack them driven by instinct and the thirst for destruction and release. He may attack Ace if his game of musical beds leads him to his bed, and while he doubts it would cause lasting damage, he would prefer to not do that.

So he doesn't even try to sleep, instead he wanders around the ship and enjoys the silence of the night. Not everyone is asleep yet, but it's calm enough that it could seem so. Eventually, he hits the journals after finding something floating in the water and that he picks up.]

Anyone else thinks that sleep is overrated tonight?

[There's a short pause.]

Right, I almost forgot, we're in Easter period. If anyone wonders why there are eggs in places there shouldn't be or weren't before, it seems this place wants to celebrate that with us.

I found a golden egg floating besides the ship just now, or an egg painted with a gold like color at least. If memory serves well those things should be made of chocolate or actual hard boiled egg-

[There's a cracking sound as the egg's shell starts to break, causing Ikki to stop talking. A few seconds later the chirps of a little chick are heard.]

Or a fucking fluffy chick apparently. What the hell?

[That's definitively not what he expected.]

[He hums a bit, looking like he's thinking.]

I suppose you have a point. I can do at least one more round I think. I'll start to get hungry soon though.

A plan..well I practice with my swords in the morning and evening so maybe if I did something around the same times. I could try and do two illusions in the morning and two in the evening, which I don't know how long I can go on with it, but I can try.

[uccellodifuoco]

My blood regenerates at a higher pace than normal, in case I never told you before.

[Hunger shouldn't be a problem. It's not a problem with Ikki to offer Natsuno his blood, especially if it's for him to be able to train and get stronger. Whether they liked it or not, everyone had to get stronger while they sailed together.]

But as I said, it's your decision how much you force yourself and how you deal with it. Unless I'm not on the ship you can call me whenever you want for whatever you want.

[reluctantjinrou]

Yeah, I know. I'll figure it out somehow. I'm tired of getting hurt and being a liability to this crew. Someone helping me might wind up getting hurt themselves...and I can't face an ambush like that again. Weakened and useless.

[He frowns a little bit but gives his head a shake.]

I will keep that in mind. Thank you.
