40th Sphere (backdated to Saturday morning after the event)

[got_blitzed]

[Jecht wakes up with a gasp safe and sound in his own bed - well, the one he's been calling his own for the past couple of months, at least.  For some reason, Yuugi isn't there passed out drunk next to him like she usually is, but that isn't the first thing on his mind.  Growling and rubbing at where he'd been stabbed in the neck the night previous, he throws off the covers and storms downstairs to use the phone.]

"Banika Conchita.  Dunno who the hell she is, but she fuckin' stabbed me in the goddamn throat and killed me in that stupid hotel last night.  Figured the rest of you'd wanna know there's one more psycho murdering bitch runnin' around this town.  And if you're listenin' too - you're dead next time I see you.  Eye for an eye.  I'm sick of this bullshit."

[Jecht slams down the phone, wandering toward the door.  He's intercepted by Yuugi's drone, who is already awake and cheerfully fixing breakfast.  Grumbling angrily, he picks the phone back up and dials out again.]

"Oh yeah.  Yuugi's droned too, for anyone who gives a shit about that.  Anybody needs me, I'll be on the beach."

[He doesn't wait for responses to the second call, heading straight outside to swim and relax on his makeshift beach.  It's Labor Day weekend, after all, so it's more or less getting to be his last chance to do stuff like this before the weather starts to get cold again.  After a short time, the postman comes by to drop off a package, tipping his hat and grinning.  Jecht doesn't trust it, but he figures everything else that's arrived this way has been fine, so he eventually decides to just open it.  Out of the long and bulky package, he draws a pretty badass looking greatsword.  After grinning and taking a few practice swings, he plunges it into the sand next to his lawn chair.]

"Well, 'least I got somethin' back for my trouble."

((OOC: Please let me know whether you're responding to the phone stuff or the action stuff when you reply.  For anyone who wants to talk to him about Yuugi, they can respond in person at the action part since he hung up right away after announcing that.))

[And time for a hard-to-pin-down Jecht laugh.]

"Good to know. So, when do you wanna have that sword duel?"

[thenorthernwall]

Tomorrow is fine.

[Olivier idly stretches.]

Or tonight, if you're that excitable.

[child-abuser.livejournal.com]

Tomorrow's better. Not in the mood right now.

[thenorthernwall]

Understandably. Need anything?

[child-abuser.livejournal.com]

...Feel like goin' for a swim?

[thenorthernwall]

[She smiles a close-lipped half smile and shifts a bit in the seat.]

Absolutely.

[child-abuser.livejournal.com]

[Smiles, and wastes no time in hopping into the water, waiting for her to get in and join him.]

[thenorthernwall]

[She only hesitates for a moment before pulling the towel aside and slipping into the pool, careful not to get her hair wet right away.]

[child-abuser.livejournal.com]

This is the life. Too bad it's startin' to get too cold for this.

[thenorthernwall]

I'm the only person not bothered by that.

[child-abuser.livejournal.com]

[Shrugs.]

"Hey, like I said before, it hardly ever snowed back where I'm from."

[thenorthernwall]

Right, right. But I'll make something far superior to this if it ices.

[child-abuser.livejournal.com]

Yeah? What's that? Or is it a surprise?

[thenorthernwall]

A snow fort, of course.

[child-abuser.livejournal.com]

Sounds pretty sweet. Should I just leave the sand in the yard, then? Been wonderin' what to do with it all.

[thenorthernwall]

I don't see any reason to take it down.

[Fussing with her hair... It won't stay up!]

[child-abuser.livejournal.com]

Works for me. Less shit I gotta deal with now and when the snow melts.

[thenorthernwall]

Do you think it will actually snow here?

[child-abuser.livejournal.com]

Who knows. I haven't been here long enough to see it.

[thenorthernwall]

They'll probably keep it sunny just to piss me off.

[She leans her head back, letting her hair loose and giving up on keeping it dry.]

[child-abuser.livejournal.com]

Heh, yeah, knowing this place.

[thenorthernwall]

Bastards, all of them.

[child-abuser.livejournal.com]

Well, guess we'll see for ourselves in a couple of months.

[thenorthernwall]

[She laughs lightly.]

Surely, with all the idiots and powers we have here, we could manage to change up the weather.

[child-abuser.livejournal.com]

Gotta be somebody that knows how.
