Characters: Natsu and Ikkaku
Location: Outside Casualty Communal
Rating: SHIT'S GONNA GET BROKEN
Time: January 29th
Description: Two hot-headed shounen idiots walk into a resonance... :|b
[ Immediately after the conversation ended, Natsu drops the communicator onto the nearby stand and heads out the door. He doesn't really get this whole resonance thing -- people becoming weapons that are stronger through meisters? Yeah, it makes no sense. But the weapons have it better here, in his opinion. Turning arms into a sword, eating souls, better abilities? If there's the slightest chance this trade can work, he sure as hell's gonna take it.
So he heads out the door, looking around for that guy. ]
YO, BALDIE!!! YA OUT HERE???

CALL ME THAT AGAIN AND YOU AIN'T GONNA BE ALIVE TO RESONATE!!
[ Deep breath. Deep, calming breath. ]
If you gotta call me somethin', stick with Ikkaku.
[ Natsu is... shorter than Ikkaku thought he'd be, but not too bad overall. He looks like a fighter-- he looks a little like Ichigo, actually, so they'd probably get along. Probably. As long as he lays off the bald jokes. ]
no subject
I probably ain't gonna remember that...
[ Unless Ikkaku was as good at fighting as he claimed to be. And then Natsu would make it a point to remember! But since they're doing introductions, he jerks a thumb at himself. ]
'm Natsu.
no subject
[ He drops into a crouch to stretch his legs, bounces back up and then swings his arm around a couple times to loosen up his shoulders. ]
How's this resonance thing work, anyway?
[ ... 'cause he's SORT OF got a handle on this wavelength thing-- it's not too different from spiritual pressure-- but the things they can do with it are mostly still a foreign idea. ]
no subject
I--
[ And then he deflates. ]
-- don't got a clue. I guess if y'just turn into your weapon form and I can pick it up, that means we resonate. Which shouldn't be a problem 'cause I'm pretty strong.
[ Except the thing Natsu doesn't realize is soul wavelength has a whole lot to do with holding weapons rather than physical strength. ]
no subject
Alright, let's go.
[ And then he transforms. Three massive blades on a heavy chain sort of fall from a few inches above the ground to bury themselves into the dirt.
... yeah, he's pretty heavy. ]
XD should they be able to resonate or have a complete and total failure?
You sure this thing doesn't shoot fire?
[ This question comes skeptically -- like he thinks Ikkaku is holding back on him. Because clearly, look at this weapon form. It HAS to shoot fire, right?? ....even if there isn't even a spot for fire to come out of. ]
MAYBE FOR LIKE HALF A SECOND before they fail epically.
I'm pretty sure it doesn't shoot fire.
[ He's not even really sure how he's communicating-- but hey, it works. In the meantime, he'll just see if he can't tap into that spirit wavelength thing a little. ]
LOL! Works for me! o7
[ He almost forgets the purpose of this. Almost. Because the thought suddenly hits him that he needs to BE this weapon, and the only way to do that is through resonance! So Natsu spits in his palms, rubbing them together to get a better grip before planting his hands on Ikkaku's form.
It's weird, there's a warmth that jolts through his body right at the initial touch. He grits his teeth, a low growl rumbling in his throat as he starts to lift. ]
no subject
[ Did-- did he just spit on his hands? Is he putting spit-hands on him?Ikkaku decides to suck it up and deal with it, though; it's not like it's any worse than Yachiru drooling on him all the time. He's still as heavy as he looks, but then he concentrates a little and--
Ikkaku gets a quick, faint rush of adrenaline. If he still had his organs, he knows he'd be hearing the rush of blood in his ears. As it is, he decides that he likes Natsu's spirit. When he's lifted a little more off the ground, he gets lighter; though still heavy enough that most normal people would have some trouble. ]
Hey, you feel tha--
[ Except it's hard to stay focused-- his wavelength really isn't as much like reiatsu as he'd thought it'd be and suddenly all that weight is back with a vengeance. ]
no subject
His muscles flex and tense as he tosses all the strength he has into it, veins bulging and teeth grtting. And that's when resonance happens. Things suddenly seem to become much easier and Natsu gets cocky at that, believing it to be his SHEER AWESOME STRENGTH. ]
Hah! This is no--
[ He doesn't even get the words out before whatever started to happen just stops. Instead, he falls flat on his back with Ikkaku's weapon form coming down atop him. And it was heavy. ]
--thin' [ WHEEZE. ] No wait! I got this!! [ strugglestruggle... ]
no subject
If that was trade, it didn't work.
[ The resonance thing seemed to have had some effect, though. Ikkaku brushes the dust off his palms and then extends a hand to pull Natsu up. ]
That resonance thing, though.
no subject
The trade....? [ And then he suddenly snaps out of all the pain as the awareness hits him. ] SHIT! I forgot about that part!!
[ Natsu accepts the hand, hopping up easily to his feet before dusting himself off. Then, his index finger juts out toward Ikkaku, challenging. ]
Let's do it again! 'm ready! You're not gonna beat me this time, I-cock-you!
[ Remember that thing he said about forgetting his name before? ]
no subject
Ikkaku. It's Ikkaku.
[ And also it's not a competition, but what the hell. If he thinks of it as a competition, he'll be more motivated.
Ikkaku sighs, cracks his neck and transforms again.
He's pretty sure a trade isn't gonna work, but getting the hang of this resonance thing would be a decent step. ]
no subject
[ But he brushes it off when Ikkaku transforms again. Alright. Time to do this. He rolls his shoulders back, swinging one achy arm over his chest to stretch out the soreness and repeating with the other one.
Then he gets a firm grip on Ikkaku, bracing his legs. Natsu doesn't lift him, at first. Instead, he concentrates and focuses on -- what must be their wavelengths, reaching out to the others. How was he supposed to initiate the trade again? Er....maybe if he wishes it outloud? ]
I WISH I WAS A WEAPON!!! [ And he waits. ]
no subject
Still, he's light for a couple seconds longer this time, mostly because at least they're on the same wavelength about wanting to SWITCH.
Andit's a little while later (like, another 10 seconds) before Ikkaku decides that he still feels like a weapon and a switch probably isn't a Thing that happens. When he disengages, though, he does it slowly this time so there's no Natsu-crushing involved. ]
no subject
Don't think we can do it. Unless there's some kinda magic behind the whole thing or we just didn't get deep enough.
[ He puzzles over this for a few seconds, almost ready to demand another retry. But the thought of it makes his whole spirit seem to ache -- it feels like he's run completely out of magic. Resonation sure as hell ain't easy. On top of that, Natsu feels pretty weary (having a giant weapon crushing your lungs kind of does that to a person), so he crosses his arms and leans against the wall of the building -- flicking his gaze up at Ikkaku. ]
What're you to Pinkie, anyway? [ And by 'Pinkie' he means Yachiru. ]
