Re: RAGE

[carptricks]

[he slips the card back into his deck, folds an arm in front of himself, and takes an exaggerated bow. then he lifts his head and nods, eyes twinkling with that patented Kuroba mischief]

[why yes, yes I am magic~]

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Her eyes just like up and she makes a high pitched squealing sound because she can still MAKE sounds. She's also flailing and moving and it basically translate to OMGTHATSAMAZING I LOVE MAGIC YOU ARE SO COOL ARE YOU A WIZARD I LOVE WIZARDS ALWAYS WANTED TO BE ONE WHAT KIND OF MAGIC CAN YOU DO IS THAT WHY YOU'RE ALIVE OF COURSE IT IS YOU ARE SO COOL!]

Re: RAGE

[carptricks]

[TINY FANGIRL S-SO CUTE]

[his grin widens, and he points to himself, and then to her, head tilted slightly. he then brings his finger to his mouth again]

[do you want to learn? I can teach you, but you have to keep it a secret]

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[She nods her head eagerly. YES, TEACH ME YOUR SECRETS MAGIC MAN.]

Re: RAGE

[carptricks]

[he quickly tugs a coin out of thin air. . . a generic one, nothing special. then he holds out his hand, gesturing towards her own as he does so]

[give me your hand, and I'll show you]

Re: RAGE

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[she looks at his hand, hesitates, because it's...it's touching another human.]

[Slowly, she reaches out, taking his hand.]

[As soon as contact is made, you’ll feel something akin to a static shock. It’s not exactly painful, but you are hyperly aware of the point of contact. Of how warm the other is, how soft, and the sensation is dramatic enough to be rather distracting. The sensitivity doesn’t seem to want to fade anytime soon, and should it be prolonged too long, it wouldn’t be a surprise to be almost overwhelming.]

[carptricks]

[WELL THAT IS STRANGE]

[it takes him a moment to blink through the sudden surge of sensation, but to his credit, he doesn't pull away]

[after a few blinks, he gives his head a small shake and presses the coin into her palm. then he closes her hand around it, holding up his free hand to count down from three]

[count with me?]

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[She only had exoskeletons for years, man, and the cats are more recent, touch sensitivity happens.]

[She tilts her head her head, but nods. She has a very intent look on her face.]

[carptricks]

[3, 2, 1. . .]

[he pulls his hand away from hers once they reach one, and urging her to open her own :o! when she does, the coin will be gone from her palm]

[MYSTERIOUS]

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Gasp! Where did it go. Looking on the floor, did she drop it?]

[carptricks]

[nope, it is definitely not on the floor!]

[he grins, and reaches out to ruffle her hair, gesturing to her hand as he does so. you did that! you made it disappear!]

[(okay in reality he palmed the coin super quickly before she closed her hand but hey, he's trying to cheer her up here)]

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[I did? OMG, I DID! I'M MAGIC!]

[carptricks]

[claps his hands together, pleased!]

[and then he tilts his head at her inquiringly. do you feel better?]

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[She nods, pleased.]

[Then, hesitantly, looking at him with curious eyes, and grabbing onto his sleeve.]

[Will you stay?]

[carptricks]

[his smile softens, and he nods. I'll keep you company for as long as you'd like]

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[She smiles, and just...looks so HAPPY, and you are getting a bitty hug.]

[carptricks]

[wraps his arms around her to return that hug wholeheartedly]

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[She hugs back tightly, and the oppressive atmosphere has lessened greatly.]

[And suddenly you're back out on the streets again, with your new Carapacian friend.]

[You also have twelve foot tall robot firing a rocket at you.]

[carptricks]

[wHAT THE FUCK WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING]

Hang on--!

[grabs a hold of his Carapacian friend and focuses on making them both intangible while they run from that robot TYVM]

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[Was flashbacks are harsh things.]

[YOU ARE INTANGIBLE. It is, surprisingly, EASIER to intangible with your alien friend. Funny how that works.]

[Robot is pursuing!]

[carptricks]

[well, rogue is all about helping others!1]

[he's running pretty fast, so he's practically carrying the alien friend in his arms as he goes. he also tilts his head up a bit, trying to see if he can sense the lab as he goes, gauging how far away from it he is now]

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[You are two thirds of the way there.]

[When you were only a third of the way there before.]

[You might guess what's coming up next.]

[But first the robot, do you do anything else besides run?]

[carptricks]

[yeah, he's expecting it this time at least]

[he keeps running, sure, but once he gauges where the lab is he focuses on something else. . . specifically: the robot's rocket launchers]

[TIME TO CLOAK THOSE IN VOID AND MAKE THEM ~DISAPPEAR~]

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

[You now have ROCKET BOOTS clanging into the ground beside you.]

[And rocket careening off to a building, wooo.]

[Roll a ten sider.]

[carptricks]

[HELL YEAH ROCKET BOOTS. stopping to inventory those super quickly because why not]

All right! We're almost there!

[that's said mostly to reassure his alien friend as he starts running again, towards the lab. . .]

[2!]
