Backdated to Truck Space

[ninjayeehaw]

[Somehow, Kinji is looking over an empty, white scene that seems to stretch off indefinitely. The only other person here is naturally Yakumo; though he's armoured up in his blue Aoninger armour, and it's easy to tell that Kinji is as well.

And about half a beat after the stream starts, Yakumo turns sharply towards Kinji, bristling.]

So fer those who might a' been wonderin'-- [Yakumo is rushing towards Kinji now, but the cowboy seems undeterred, dancing back from his partner with practiced ease.] --that if folks wanted t'go an' try straight-up possessin' this here truck we're ridin' on, this is where y'all might end up.

[Yakumo's still chasing after him, but it's not aggressive as much as very clearly trying to block Kinji's line of sight, trying to throw up his hands and block the stupid situation they've landed themselves in.]

I'd also like t'note how we're a mite bit stuck in here. Can't quite seem t'find an exit just yet.

Oh.

...Why did he do that?

[ninjayeehaw]

The truck reminded us a' one 'f our team-mates back home, his OtomoNin's a giant yellow dump-truck. We wanted t'see if it had somethin' t'do with him, so Yakki went an' hijacked it t'check.

[fearinahandfulof]

Was there any sign of him in Liminal Space, or was it just that?

[ninjayeehaw]

Just that, t'be honest. But Nagi-bocchan always was the trickiest 'f us when it comes t'pranks an' the like. It'd be entirely like him t'go hidin' from us an' set somethin' up t'catch us off-guard.

[fearinahandfulof]

There's usually some indication whenever somebody new shows up, though - sounds or lights or other things that mark them as new regardless of how they appear.

[ninjayeehaw]

[.....

now that she mentions that.]

We're ninja. Bein' identified so boldly like that ain't somethin' we usually take, 'less we're doin' it ourselves.

[fearinahandfulof]

The Arcana don't really care about that, though.

[ninjayeehaw]

An' we can't say we rightly care what they think, neither.



But y'all're probably right on that one. [He hadn't assumed Nagi was here, but it had been a very real thought on his mind when the truck that looked strikingly similar to the teen's old mecha had appeared.]

[fearinahandfulof]

It's hard not to hope, though, even when you're not always sure if you should.

[ninjayeehaw]

Truth be, I ain't been hopin' fer the others t'show up fer a while now. [Again, a conversational, slightly dry tone. But he can't hide the hint of embarrassment - the thought of the others finding out about him and Yakumo being a couple was not fun.]

[fearinahandfulof]

Oh.

It's also hard not to want to make sure they're not here sometimes, too.

[The prospect of Roxanne showing up in Liminal Space one day still makes her tense up sometimes.]
