Have fun! :D

[shiromadoushi]

OK!

[[He landed on 7, going for the lower powered number just to be safe. One back in Takuto's palm, the die began to glow again, For a second, there was a small blip of light in the small patch of grass, but otherwise, nothing happened.]]

Aaaa, the same as last time... There's something I'm not doing right with that one, I think!

lol the grass just got a power up or something

[tauborn]

[Takuto frowns and then walks over to where the light had appeared and crouches down, inspecting the grass. After a moment, he pokes at it with his free hand.]

Yeah, I don't think that did anything.

[His resonance high from before is wavering, and his wavelength is starting to become unstable. He really isn't very good at controlling it at all, and he's even worse when he gets the feeling he's not doing well at it and tries to focus too hard on maintaining it.]

Yep. THIS IS WHY HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT IT DOES :D

[shiromadoushi]

[[Bakura tries to adjust, not quite sure if it's just disappointment or something more]]

Un... it's a tricky one to figure out! But I keep trying at it! Maybe someday I'll figure it out.

I'm still waiting for Takuto to understand how to use his meister ability.....

[tauborn]

[Oh crap, now that he can tell it's harder for Bakura, he's going to try to push his wavelength to some kind of even level... which is going to backfire because Takuto is a person that does best relying on instinct.]

I'm sure you will... s-someday....

What, he doesn't just sparkle naturally? ;)

[shiromadoushi]

[[Aa--! Bakura can almost tell what's about to happen with the resonance... As a preventative measure he does his best to protect a warm, soothing presence, trying to get Takuto to relax. He doesn't mind carrying a burden, he's used to it.]]

Un!

How about you? Do you know what your ability is?

yes, but that's a metaphorical sparkle and we're going for a literal one~

[tauborn]

[The soothing wavelength from Bakura gets his to quiet down a little, but quiet doesn't necessarily mean it's easy. Still, the question distracts him and the resonance isn't poor enough to entirely break.]

Kinda. Apparently I can attract Kishin eggs or something? [This is what the people at the meister ability help area have told him before. And he does always seem to be some kind of target for the monsters... though, his being an obvious target could be for entirely different reasons. Like his hair. Or his coat. Or his need to shout out attacks.]

But I thought he didn't separate the two~ ;)

[shiromadoushi]

[[Dramatic pointing did sort of grab that kinda of attention, yeah.]]

That sounds like a pretty dangerous one! Though good for when you get strong, since you can draw them away from others.

it just means that right now he's not shining bright enough D:

[tauborn]

[He frowns, thinking back to the last missions he's been on. He doesn't realize his wavelength is about to spiral downwards into ever tighter circles alongside his mood.

With Ryuzaki, the Kishin egg had ignored the weapon and instead held on to Takuto, pinning him under the murky water. He tenses at the memory, which was, in some ways, the most horrifying experience of his life.

He'd never think of drowning as a peaceful way to go ever again. It had hurt, and been absolutely terrifying.]

Uh. [Sound only comes out because he's aware that Bakura said something to him and he probably expects a response. It is a dangerous ability.]

*goes to get the glitter to help!*

[shiromadoushi]

...Takuto-kun? Are you all right...?

you're going to need more glitter.

[tauborn]

Y-yeah. [He shakes his head slightly.] I was just... thinking about something.

[And with something of a slam, Takuto forcefully turns the shiny part of his personality on. It's something of a habit, especially lately, and he doesn't realize what kind of effect doing something like that might have on his wavelength, and thus, the weapon in his palm. Bakura will likely either get shocked right out of resonance, or he'll be able to recognize that there's a certain part of Takuto that is in the process of getting buried under a waterfall of dazzling false happiness.]

I'm a craft store junky. I have enough glitter ;)

[shiromadoushi]

[[It took all of Bakura's will power to not be flattened by the sudden rush.]]


...the same as me...

[[It's not something he meant to be overheard, but he couldn't help but think it -- and wonder if that meant any time he was resonating, whomever he was with could tell when he was putting on his false face as well.

Distraction, distraction-- something to--]]

Ne, is there anything else you want to try?

[tauborn]

[There's a hitch in his wavelength at Bakura's almost unspoken words, and then his resonance completely falls apart. He doesn't want to be privy to those kinds of thoughts if Bakura is having them, and he certainly doesn't want Bakura to see all the mistakes and bad decisions he's trying to cover up, and it's impossible to resonate with someone at such a distance.

He drops Bakura as if the weapon is a hot coal, only just managing to hear his last question.]

I-I think I'm g-good.

[shiromadoushi]

[[The string detaches, Bakura managing to land on his feet as he reverts, rubbing the back of his neck a bit sheepishly]] Sorry...

[tauborn]

It's not your fault.

[Takuto feels that it's pretty blatantly his, actually. But the whole experience feels awkward now, like he's just seen behind a curtain he wasn't supposed to know existed, and he knows Bakura saw the same.]

You're... a pretty neat weapon, though.

[shiromadoushi]

Aaa-- thank you! [[smiles warmly]] You're pretty amazing too. Maybe we could practice more, sometime?

[tauborn]

I-if you... if you want to. [He's surprised Bakura is asking to do it again already. Amazing isn't something he feels at all right now.]

[shiromadoushi]

[[Bakura nods]] When you're more ready, of course! [[adds a little quickly]] I wouldn't want to push you or anything like that!

[tauborn]

[Takuto winces a little as he nods. He's had enough resonance with Bakura for one day.]

S-sure. Some other time.

[shiromadoushi]

[[nods, rubbing the back of his neck]] Good luck with the rest of training!
