7th rise of the phoenix ஜ Voice / Action for Spades
[His voice is heavy and a bit hoarse but still easy to understand. He has yet to hit the bottle today, but it won't take him much longer to do so.]
Soon it will be September again. Hn, when people started to vanish I thought there would be only a few of us left to see a second autumn in this world.
[Of course, that refers only to those who were the first to arrive to this world. Unfortunately he never doubted that there would still be a lot of people trapped, just... Not the same people for so long.]
Have any of you changed since you arrived here? No matter how long you have been here... Ever wonder what your people would think of you if they saw you here?

[He chuckles as he takes another gulp from his drink. He's not being serious and he knows well that's not what she was thinking or even saying. As if she would want that after everything he had done to her, it's already a miracle she still wants to talk with him.]
If you get me something I guess I should give you something as well.
no subject
*No, really, Ikki, stop putting thoughts like this in her head! While she was still blushing at the images she was now thinking about, hearing his chuckle relaxed her and made her laugh*
Oh? What are you thinking of getting me? A nice whip?
no subject
[He laughs again, actually quite oblivious to her blush or her thoughts at the moment.]
Depends. Is that what you would want?
no subject
*Selphie turns to him with a raised eyebrow at his question and slowly shakes her head*
Nah, I'm much more of a feather duster type girl myself...
*Clearly a joke, but then she stares at her bottle and shakes her head, quicker this time*
Uh - I mean - well, my friend used a whip as her weapon of choice but.. I like my nunchaku much better. They hurt people more, ya know?
no subject
[Except that he still hasn't told her when that is.]
Should I get you a maid outfit?
[He hums as he takes another gulp.]
Yeah, a whip isn't much of a weapon for damage, not to say it doesn't hurt, but it takes a lot of dexterity and strength to be able to use it like that. Some people can use it and cause enough damage to make someone scream with just one hit but most people don't. Now, if you were using chains as a whip...
Shun's Cloth, the Andromeda Cloth, has chains as its weapons, not that he ever uses them much to hurt others, but they can hurt a lot if you're hit with them. Even when he's going easy on you.
no subject
*Selphie smiled at that and stuck hee tongue out at him slightly. At his suggestion, she giggld and took another gulp*
So that's what you want, huh? Me in a maid's outfit would be both our presents rolled into one huh?
*Selphie giggled at that then listened to what he said*
Yeah, that sounds pretty brutal.. My friend had a few scarier looking whips that no doubt hurt a lot.
no subject
Not what I want, but I can't think of anything else that would match with a feather duster. I don't know if there are maid uniforms with skirts as short as the ones you like to wear though.
[He laughs again and by now it should be clear that he's already drunk given how open he's being with that. Not that he plans to stop or anything anytime soon.]
Do you miss them often? Your friends, I mean. Not the whips.
no subject
*Possibly not what he was saying but she was tipsy enough now to be more than happy to tease him. She looks a little more thoughtful though as she decides how to answer his question*
Some times. I really like the friends I have here, but lately they've had a habit of disappearing.... I guess maybe that's when I miss them. And stuff like holidays, and birthdays. It's so weird to think that I haven't seen any of them in almost a year..
no subject
[He shrugs to the rest of what she said, that wasn't really what he was saying after all. And there's no way it will happen so he doesn't bother with it more.]
Even if they were here there are the same chances for them to leave as anyone else anyway. And would you really want them here? Fuck, even if you were home with them all nothing says they wouldn't be missing the next day. Or left in a coma at the verge of death for who knows how long as you can do nothing but stand there and watch them wither.
At least here when people go missing you can assume they just went home, and no one dies here.
no subject
*At that, Selphie stretches her legs out in front of her, and tilts her head as she looks at them - today was yet another day she was wearing a short dress*
I don't know if I'd want them there, necessarily. This place can be pretty shitty to people...
*She looks a little less happy when he mentions about being in a coma on the verge of death, and takes another sip from her bottle*
Yeah. That's true. So if - if I went home, then everyone could just say, 'Oh, hey, Selphie has gone home. Isn't that nice? That means she can't get herself into trouble, or anyone else.' That might be kinda good for the crew, huh?
no subject
[This place only makes it more obvious and constant. His eyes fell on her legs as she stretches them out, drinking idly as he listens to her. The moment she mentions "get herself into trouble" and everything else, though, the bottle is sent flying to the sea, falling into it with a loud noise.]
Haah... I don't want you to be scared of me again, so I'm not gonna yell or say that I want to slap you for saying stupid things. So each time you say something stupid I'll sent a bottle of booze overboard and when there is no more booze I'll move to juice and others things. So the survival of this good booze depends on you not saying silly things anymore.
[He takes another bottle and swings it before her face with a serious, although drunk, expression. He then takes another gulp from the new bottle.]
There's no way it would be nice if you went home. 'Sides, you're a soldier, you'll have to get yourself in dangerous situations because of your job. And you don't get anyone into trouble, you're not useless or anything bad. Though you say silly things at times.
no subject
Huh? What did I say that was so wrong?
*She put a little bit of a pout, slowly finishing off the bottle that she had, but she genuinely looked confused about what she had said*
Silly things? But it's true - you know very well I've got myself in trouble a few times in this last year, and it's put you and others in trouble too. But - that's not a silly thing to say, is it?
no subject
I can't think of any time you did anything wrong that caused the crew trouble. So saying that you did so is wrong. And silly. Or do you mean we should have regarded Sora or Kairi as nuisances because they were killed? Or Thatch, Namur and Leanne, look at them, look at all the "trouble" they are causing us. But it's not trouble, because they didn't get caught on purpose and we're nakama. Saving your nakama is the natural thing to do, it's not "trouble", except for those who took our nakama away.
[And it will be big, great trouble for them when Ikki gets his hands on those assholes.]
no subject
No. They're not getting us in trouble. We're nakama, so we have to save them. It's no trouble at all, right?
*She looked up at him with wide eyes, as though looking for reassurance*
no subject
Yeah. It's never trouble.
Even if they had gotten caught on purpose, it's not trouble to help your nakama. So stop thinking that you have caused any trouble, you haven't. No one in the crew has. And we will always go save our nakama, no matter what happens, or what each of us do, or even if we're angry with the ones that have to be saved.
no subject
Right! Nakama saving - that's what it's all about! I'd save you, and you'd save me - nakama.
*She forced thoughts about what they might be going through wherever they were away, especially trying hard not to think about what they might do to Leanne. Then she lifts her bottle words Ikki's, as though to make a toast*
To us - nakama rescuers!!
no subject
[He lifts his bottle and taps hers' lightly before taking a good gulp.]
... I suppose that I'll end sailing alone for a while after everything is over.
no subject
Yeah, we will! A big Spades party! With drinking and dancing and everyone with snuggle and cuddle together in happiness!
*When he mentions going away alone, Selphie sits up suddenly straight, quickly enough that she bumps into him a little*
What? Alone? Why? Where would you go? Why would you leave me - I mean, us?
no subject
Even if they haven't done anything to her, which we both know won't be the case, Leanne is going to be in an awful shape. She's too sensible to those things and whatever we do, the rescue won't be something peaceful and smooth. And I'm sure that after that we will return to Deesuko which... Isn't very good for her either.
So I suppose that sooner or later, we will have to visit Serenes for her to recover. And I'm not going to go anywhere close to that island ever again.
[His hand finds her head again, caressing it once more.]
Serenes is good for the rest of you. Well, minus Thatch and Namur, Marco doesn't like it that much either but all of them seem more able to deal with it than me. So going off alone is the best option.
[Though he has no idea where he will go, he will decide that when he's sober and time to do it.]
no subject
Serenes would be best for her. But you could just go somewhere else while we're there...
*She seems somewhat soothed with his hand on her head again*
Maybe...you could stay in that volcano and I'll just let you know when we're leaving Serenes, and you can come back?
no subject
[It's not just about Leanne though, sure, she's the main reason, but not the only one. He doesn't expect the fights they are going to have to be anything smooth and he fears in what state they might find the others, they won't be dead but... Sometimes that can be worse than just finding them in a pile of corpses. So he expects it all to take a toll on them all, specially Selphie, and Serenes should be enough to help heal them a little.]
We will be in contact too. Anyway, that won't happen till much later so no need to worry about it now, right?
no subject
*She smiles softly and rests her head ever so slightly against his shoulder, blinking up at the sky and trying to ignore all those various horrible thoughts running through her mind*
no subject
[He hums as she rests her head against his shoulder, shifting to let his hand fall from her head and wrap around her waist for a more comfortable position and an easier way for her to rest there.]
I would ask you to come, but with what we may be going to fight off to get back the rest I think a visit to Serenes will do you also a lot of good. I'll let you know if I find anything interesting, deal?
no subject
*Selphie smiles warmly as he moves his hand to her waist, feeling much more comfortable against him this time. She looks at the bottle in her hand, knowing that he probably wouldn't want to do that if he were sober. But she likes it so she really isn't going to complain*
Mmhm. When we get Leanne back, I think it'd be good for her if I was there with her in Serenes too.
*Still not really thinking about the benefits for herself. She nods against his shoulder at that last part and glances up at him*
Okay. That's a deal.
no subject
[Ikki chuckles at that, a small part of him telling him that she must be well drunk now if she wants to be in that position, but he himself is drunk enough to not care. Besides, if he tried to take away the bottle from her she would do the same with his and he isn't ready to stop yet.]
It will be good for you too, to be there with her and the rest. Think about the benefits for yourself too.
