dramatispersonae | Mikado's heart

[ Side-eyes Mikado on the computer now, feeling a little irritated. Then knocks on the glass, looking for a way through, presumably getting the same results as Apple did up thread? ]

... it can't hurt to boost it.

[ And then doing that, yes. ]

[Head in hands.]

[Same results until the boost. At which point the mirror becomes shinier and looks more solid.]

Doesn't look anymore like a portal this way.

...... you've got to be kidding me! It has to be a portal, it's the natural conclusion! But boosting it just made things harder to get through!?

[ SUPER IRRITATED. ]

A-are you guys really just changing things at random...?

[Alarmed.]

Edited 2012-12-02 09:13 (UTC)

It wasn't random! I said it was a natural conclusion!

[ I AM SEARCHING THIS ROOM THEN AND. Finding the baseball bat in the closet, yes. ]

If boosting it doesn't work to get through... then there's smashing it down!

We did get to the doors through a mirror. There was a precedent.

[Wait, what, WHAT DO YOU HAVE?!]

[On her feet, and moving to grab the bat.] Don't you even think about it!

[What am I watching.]

And why not! If all it does is stopping us from getting anywhere, then... speaking personally, I've got a good idea that that mirror is bad news and needs to be broken!

[ Kazuki is definitely athletic enough and has done enough training to dodge Kira grabbing for the bat, instead heading for the mirror and stopping just before it, ready to smash it at a moments notice. But there's still one thing he has to do-- so shouting right at the computer. ]

Mikado! The one thing more important than me seeing you is for me to have your trust! So... so if you really don't want me to break this mirror, I won't!

[You two....!]

I... I don't know. It's not like I know what everything is....! Are you really sure it's a good idea...?

I'm sure. Trust me!

[ In that case...! Using all his strength to try and smash that mirror!! ]

[AND WITCH GIRL WILL JUST]

[TACKLE HIM QUITE BODILY.]

Stop it!

[The baseball bat bounces harmlessly off the mirror with a little "broing" noise just as Kira tackles Kazuki I guess.]

[ Tackled--! Except the bat still hits because she's a tad too late, Kazuki letting it go easily as he falls and the momentum letting the bat land, before clattering to the ground behind them. ]

[ Kazuki pushes at Kira. ]

You-- stop it! Get off! Don't you even want to best for him!?

[Kira is grabbing at the front of his shirt.] Do you?! Breaking things when he doesn't even know, not even thinking of the consequences?!

There was some reasoning to suspect it might be, but breaking parts of Shark is not something you jump to!

Please, guys, c-calm down...!

And what was the consequence of boosting it, huh?! Making the one path that seems viable to where he actually is impassable!? Are you even thinking?! It's... it's basically symbolism, to break down the walls rather than build them up!

[ Iiiis completely capable of shoving Kira off him, and incredibly on the defensive! And picking up the bat again due to that! But... going over to the computer, where Mikado is watching, flopping down and just breathing angrily a minute. ]

It didn't work anyway... I'm not gonna apologize to her, but I'll apologize to you. I'm not satisfied at all though, just... give me a minute to think of another way or something.

[Yes, very true, but her fingers are twitching at her side, and everything is tense.]

[This may not be the safest body language.]

You're the one who boosted it on your own! Don't act all high and mighty when you decided that yourself and changing your mind last minute.

You don't even know what it really did, don't just flail around like a buffoon to fix something you think as a mistake without thinking. I won't let you hurt Shark because of your own incompetence.

[Di...stressed watching.]

I-it's okay. Both of you, I-I'm right, here, right...? So...

[ Goes almost dangerously quiet, actually, his head bowed for a moment. His hand around the bat tightens... and then loosens, before he turns more towards the screen, looking up and unhappy and pressing his hand against it! ]

It's not okay! And you're not right here! And...

[ Fffff. Leans his forehead against the screen too. ]

So, what? I'm just meant to be happy, meant to accept what she says with her shooting her mouth off like-- whatever! I just... want to see you! Her opinion doesn't matter to me.

Better a mouth than action against one's psyche.

Tche, if you have another boost, then the computer would be the better way. If we're talking about walls and metaphors, this is what we should focus on.

[Walking over to the computer, gesturing to the screen.] It went from text to a video chat. Seeing a face, hearing a voice is an improvement of communication, to how you can connect and meet other people, without the distance of just the written word.

And if not that, there are ways to find people you meet online, isn't there, Shark?

[Wow you guys are seriously making him look stressed out.]

I'm s-sorry. Please don't ask me to...

[He places his hand near the camera.]

I'd like to see you, both of you. But if that way doesn't work, then.... Maybe you can find something else. It's not going to be possible if you're fighting like this though, right...?

[ Kazuki's lips have tightened, and he leans back so he can really be seen. And when he looks back at Mikado, his eyes are dark with rage-- not at Mikado at least, and he's obviously trying to restrain himself. ]

[ He doesn't reply to Kira either, commenting to Mikado only, concerned with Mikado only. As long as Kira doesn't interrupt anymore than that, he should be fine. Maybe. ]

I'm out of boosts, but someone will probably be back eventually... I could probably try and sync my phone up with this computer too.

[Her expression softens a bit. It was starting to get through her anger how much this was getting to Shark. She gritted her teeth and shook her head, trying to get rid of the anger.]

[Or, well, at least restrain it.]

Would that work, Shark? You have a phone too, don't you, couldn't we do something with the GPS? [If that applied in a heart...]

[Probably better not to talk to Kazuki directly until she's sure her anger is under control. So she won't.]

[He's looking between them with concern!]

I don't know... I'm sorry, I don't... I can't say how everything would work... It's worth a try.
