Kunai the 8th: [Video/Olivine Action]

[itsjustdust]

[It's him, though only the goggles were in view, his headband having been neatly adjusted so that it was just dark blue cloth and the metal plate was quite hidden in the folds of material. It was definitely long enough for it. He was also lounging back on a bed with a blank wall behind him, his charmander dozing on his chest]

So. How many of you have had a moment where you're sitting there going 'when the hell did I become the smart one?'

I mean, I've never been stupid, but things have been ridiculous lately.

Weeell, that's really Kusanagi-san's role. You have two more guesses!

voice.

[itsjustdust]

The quiet one [And a long pause...]

...You know, Kusanagi is a sword where I'm from.

voice.

[skilful]

Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, the blade that Susanoo gave up to make peace with Amaterasu. My name is a sword too, the Totsuka-no-Tsurugi.

[ A beat. ] Quiet's not exactly the word I have in mind but you get fifty points! How about one last guess, Obi-kun?

voice.

[itsjustdust]

Those all sound like something important I read once. Huh. Guess I won't find out where.

Snarky?

voice.

[skilful]

[ hold on, he's laughing. in-between the laughter: ]

--That's a good one! I've never heard anyone call him that before!

voice.

[itsjustdust]

We are talking about the dude you intercepted right?

voice.

[skilful]

Yes! The word I was going to use for him is 'kindest'.

voice. 2/2

[skilful]

[ suddenly: ] --oww!

voice.

[itsjustdust]

Soooo he's not agreeing with you?

voice.

[skilful]

[ After a minute or two-- ] But I know the truth.

voice.

[itsjustdust]

There's a lot of people out there like that.

voice.

[skilful]

You know one too?

voice.

[itsjustdust]

Pretty sure I live with one.

voice.

[skilful]

They are interesting people, aren't they?

voice.

[itsjustdust]

[He hummed and nodded.] Pretty much yeah.

voice.

[skilful]

Even though they're so against admitting it~

voice.

[itsjustdust]

Actions over words and all that [Immediate nod cause yep.]

voice.

[skilful]

Exactly, exa~ctly!

...But, what does that make you? [ If you're not normally the smart one. ]

voice.

[itsjustdust]

What, no guesses?

voice.

[skilful]

[ Laughing. ] Right, it's only fair!

Let's see... A natural leader type?

voice.

[itsjustdust]

Pfft, I wish. Not even. Try again.

voice.

[skilful]

I've still got two guesses! [ And he plans to use up all of them. ]

The vanguard? [ -- that's not really a type, Totsuka. ]

voice.

[itsjustdust]

...That's a battle position not a personality type.

voice.

[skilful]

[ Very thoughtfully, ] I suppose. It's my last guess, isn't it?

...Then, Obi-kun, you're the cheerful and caring one who truly treasures his comrades and looks after them as much as you can. But, that's not all there is to you, isn't it? [ Though phrased like a question, it's more of an observation and a statement. ]

voice.

[itsjustdust]

[There was a rather long moment of quiet.]

Is that all there is to anyone?
