Day 44: Lunch

[mizuhomaiden.livejournal.com]

That had been a very frustrating shower. For many reasons. At least Raine was going to at least look at Forte. Hopefully, she'll actually heal him. The showers had also succeeded in making the ninja feel like a pervert. A mild one, but still... It was as if Yukari had picked that spot in the showers because she knew the ninja could easily see her.

Ugh! Damn youkai.

Squirreling herself away in a corner of the cafeteria, Sheena finger combed her wet hair before pulling it back with the bright red ribbon. She so needed her own hair ribbon back. She was attempting to formulate her plan of acquisition - she was ninja after all - as people started trickling into the room. The plan was put on pause, though, when her stomach rumbled.

Food now - plan later.

Rude put his hand up in a firm acknowledgment of his introduction and role as Rock'nRoll's 'source of displeasure'. Turning his attention back to Ro- sorry, Loz, he gave a shrug. While he wasn't exactly a chatty person, he was willing to talk more than this. But as long as it irked Loz, he'd keep it up for a while.

Takasugi's eyes continued to stray back and forth between them, noticing the tension that lay there. Were these two men enemies? It was obvious from their behavior and from Loz's words that they weren't necessarily cooperation, and if Takasugi saw an open wound, then it was hard to keep himself from pouring an entire bottle of salt on it just to see what would happen.

He took a few bites of his food before his attention returned to Loz. "And why do you think that is?"

[oldestremnant.livejournal.com]

"Well, um..." Loz's brow wrinkled as he tried to think and answer the guy's question. "Maybe... he's just trying to be even more of a meanie." He glared at Rude, "He helped Big Brother take Mother away from us and now he's rubbing it in!" Well, that was the only reason he could think of. Then again... "Well, I think that's why," He scowled and put a hand to his head. Ugh, he was confused. He still had no idea why Rude was so quiet to him when he'd just spend a good deal of time on the board insulting him.

This was...interesting. Well. Ok, not exactly thrilling, but the guy was playing along and Rude wanted to see where it went. Like a little therapy session and, wouldn't you know it, they were in the perfect place for one.

Apparently he was being mean. Now, most people who had any respect for heard of the Turks would think he was being positively gentlemanly right now. Because, you know, he wasn't bashing any heads against anything hard or whatever.

He certainly couldn't say anything now, it would only confused Loz even more. Right? Right.

The exchange between them was growing further ambiguous, with one man being rather unresponsive while the one who held is interest was behaving somewhat like a petulant child. Takasugi attempted to place an age for him, but ...there was something rather off in both his speech and mannerisms that made it difficult to narrow down.

Far be it to keep himself from instigating something as it would certainly make for an interesting meal. "And you won't make him talk? There are quite a number of ways to do it."

When he smiled this time, there was a slight edge to it, his thumb running over the prong of his fork as he waited again for a response.

Loz looked back at the other man and replied, "Well, I'd like to, but I'm scared that if I do, they'll stick me with those needles again, and I don't like that." He didn't like it when his head felt all jumbled up and he wasn't able to think straight. Not to mention Loz didn't really like the stingy feeling of the needles poking into him.

Still, he would have punched out Rude a while ago, if it wasn't for the needles.

[silent-shades.livejournal.com]

Mild threats now? Interesting. While he didn't exactly need enemies, he wasn't going to say no to a little fun. Besides, Rude had been there, done that, never talked. Grunted, maybe. But whatever.

Rude didn't moved. Still a picture of relaxed calm, leaning against his chair, arms folded.

Loz had already been sedated before, he was being careful. Kind of bad news as it meant he might still be pretty tough, even without his brothers. It made it a little more tempting to rile him up.

[onefellbeast.livejournal.com]

Takasugi chuckled softly. He couldn't help it. A grown man afraid of needles. Had he not been subjected to worse during his time here? How badly could those sedatives affect him? Though it was worth continuing to prod, if only to see if his words were true.

"But wouldn't it be worth it? That moment of gratification? Think of what this man might have done to you in the past."

He leaned in closer, his voice dropping as he waited to see if the silent one would pull the first punch. "Do you remember it well? That pain."

[oldestremnant.livejournal.com]

Loz looked at Rude, then at Takasugi, then back at Rude, seriously thinking it over. Then he decided that Takasugi was right, and that he should make Rude suffer for all his pain.

Glowering at Rude, the Renmant raised his fist and aimed a hard punch at Rude.

[silent-shades.livejournal.com]

They were trying to rile him up. Cute. Although it was working on Loz. Rude didn't twitch a muscle, but he was on guard. And good thing too. Loz went for it.

Rude grabbed the tray in front of him, holding it up as a shield, flinging his plate at the the table in the process, and ducked his head for extra measure. No matter how much this place dulled a guy's strength... Loz wasn't exactly gonna break a nail or something. Just Rude's face.

That had been easier to provoke than he had initially suspected. Though- Takasugi sincerely hoped it didn't end there. The nurses hadn't even come, and the other man had blocked so easily. Those reflexives hadn't escaped him since they were rather impressive.

Continuing to watch while unfazed, he merely commented,"Is that all?"

[oldestremnant.livejournal.com]

Loz cursed when he hit the tray instead of Rude's head. Partly because he hadn't hit the other man, and partly because that had hurt his hand a little. He'd forgotten that he wasn't as strong here anymore.

Rubbing his hand, Loz glared at Rude, "No fair, you cheated!"

[silent-shades.livejournal.com]

The tray splintered above him and he gave it a look before putting it down and shrugging at Loz. Of course he cheated. It was the Turk way.

Rude had to agree with the new guy. Not that he wanted his ass kicked again. But, hell, he was up for a fight. And it was one on one this time. AND? And? Rude had more time to get used to....not being quite as...good as he was used to. He was glad to know he wasn't the only one with sapped powers. Thoughts of retiring were just embarrassing. Turks didn't retire. They died or just...disappeared.

Holy crap. Was this a retirement home?

Rude waited, ready to defend again if he had to.
