11th - Even At The Best Of Times I'm Out Of My Mind | Islet One

They aren't the type of child who seeks out others, when something happens. Something awful, something utterly out of their control. They do not want to talk about it. They will not cry, nor sulk. There will be very few, if history has proven anything, who will even realize they have been slighted in some way at all.

And then there are those who are on island one when Chara walks up to that now empty abode. And perhaps, they will also not realize that anything is out of the norm-- but they'll certainly take stock of the suddenly flaming knife in their hand, the very same one that embeds itself in the cottage with four, additional rooms added to it, the one with no owner.

The knife, still on fire, remains embedded in now smoking wood. Calmly, Chara takes out a second knife.

And up in flames that one goes, as well.



11-13th - You Only Get What You Grieve | E4

According to some, setting houses on fire is not a healthy outlet for stress.

Which, realistically, is probably fair. The solution to this problem is not to stab inanimate objects, no sir. So how about some animate ones, instead?

The fact that the centipuppies are kind of cute doesn't mitigate the issues they cause- a pack of the creatures could go after a singular target with ease. A cute nuisance. A potentially dangerous nuisance. There would likely be one or two people not too keen on the burning carcasses they've left strewn about the place, but centipuppies aren't docile. They're not a rare creature upon Enso, either; ridding the beach of a single pack isn't problematic at all.

Not even slightly.

If anything, the ordeal becomings something of a mind numbing task, child walking up and down the stretch of the beach, watching out for stragglers. For the next two days, it's all they're going to do. Walk. Wait. And when the situation calls for it

Lash out.



13th, closed to Frisk, Lup, and Tim - Are You Smelling That Shit? | Islet 3
[Their flowers are wilted.

Three days without attention, and Chara should have expected this, really. It's not as if the plants themselves are going to die; they're sturdy enough to take a bit of thirst, a slight amount of burn at the edges of their petals from a harsh sun. The majority of them will love; there are even more shoots to grow, ready to take the place of those that won't.

But there are those that won't.

Frowning critically, Chara considers- the various things they could and should be doing, at this point. Carefully pruning the leaves and picking off the wilted buds, mixing the earth with some more most soil. Watering them all. It's a sizeable enough patch now that it should take a few hours for just the one person- plenty enough to keep them moving until they're tired, ready to find... perhaps ready to collapse into their hammock, after a few days of sleeping outside.

And yet, they don't move just yet. There's so much to do here- and moreso, if they would pay attention to anything else. They haven't been looking for food, the past few days. Haven't been collecting resources to trade with Lup and Taako. Haven't been to the new island past a brief, cursory look; the familiar, tell-tale itch of curiosity absent. Haven't spoken to Frisk or Tim since he-- since this started. There is a great deal to do.

They don't move just yet.]

[The next time he glances up, he's a little surprised to see the kid heading towards him... sort of. He's pretty sure they're not his biggest fan, but he can think of at least one reason they might bother with it. He watches them dully, not moving much, and once they make their demand... yeah. Right on the mark. His mouth thins and he expels a short scoff through his nose.]

[Rude little shit.]


I will, huh?

[It's not amused, exactly, but Ichimatsu doesn't really sound offended, either. Still crouching, he sighs and reaches into the pocket of his hoodie. The knife draws out, his fingers closed around the edge, and he holds it up to them hilt-first with the sharp tip pinched between his thumb and forefinger. It'll probably nick him if it's taken too forcefully, but he doesn't seem to care.]

Yeah, sure. I don't need it. My brother left his.

[And while the kid obviously doesn't need the help of some crazy flaming knife to set things on fire, it's not like he ever really figured out how to work it. Guess he's actually been meaning to do this for a while.]
ichininyaanshi: (did you start a fire?)

[If it were some random asshole, Ichimatsu would have gone out of his way to make it as hard for them as possible. But even a rude kid who wants nothing to do with him is still just a kid. Once the knife leaves his hand, Ichimatsu figures their business is pretty much concluded. It's when they tug a knife out of their boot that he looks again -- with his eyebrows hidden by his scruffy bangs, there's no real indication of surprise, but his eyelids do lift just slightly.]

[He stares at the knife wordlessly for a beat of several seconds. He won't lie: it's tempting to take it back, not in small part due to the fact that it would make them truly even, and the kid wouldn't be obligated to deal with him any more than he would be to deal with them. They did get the shitty end of that deal, after all. They might not need a magic knife to set things on fire, but -- he doesn't really, either.]

[Maybe it's the way the kid eyed him as they took back their property. Like he wasn't someone to be trusted; the kind of person who would turn the knife on them at the very last second. He's exactly that kind of person, he guesses, so that's exactly why he doesn't reach out for his knife.]

[He has Karamatsu's. All that careful hovering to make sure Ichimatsu didn't have too many sharp things to play with, and now his own blade is the only thing of his that Ichimatsu really uses in earnest. There's a poetic irony to that his brother wouldn't appreciate, even if nowadays, Ichimatsu believes that he would have understood it.]

[Well, anyway. Ichimatsu turns back to the dead carcass, feigning disinterest.]


Didn't you hear me? I already have another one. Keep it for all I care.
ichininyaanshi: (oh you turned me stone cold)

[His eyebrow definitely raises this time, in conjunction with a disbelieving snort. Sir? Sir?? Someone quit giving this kid sharp things and try handing them a pair of glasses instead. Sounding put-upon, Ichimatsu pushes on his knees and rises to his feet with a grunt, leveling a blank frown down at them.]

[He hates that he's being ordered around, but the brat does make a point, of course. A spare definitely couldn't hurt, especially since he let Osomatsu's hatchet get away from him long before he and Karamatsu moved to that shack. Not that any of it is the kid's problem.]

[Very slowly, Ichimatsu reaches out and obediently accepts the knife.]
ichininyaanshi: (believe me)

2/3

[personal profile] ichininyaanshi 2018-05-04 06:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Then his fingers pop open and the knife slides right out of his hand, wedging itself blade-first into the sand with a soft, polite fwhup.]

Oh, you're right. I lost it already.
ichininyaanshi: (what you gonna do when you get back home)

[personal profile] ichininyaanshi 2018-05-04 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
See ya.

[He turns around and shoves his hands into his pockets, starting to trudge away.]
ichininyaanshi: (two birds of a feather)

[personal profile] ichininyaanshi 2018-06-05 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
[One doesn't survive growing up with five siblings without a general set of eyes on the back of their head, but at the same time, it's not like you'd usually expect a kid to try to stab you while you're walking away from them. A kid who's just spent the better part of the last couple hours killing centipuppies, though...]

[Ichimatsu's probably lucky he's got other instincts to fall back on. also retcon avoidance, you cat bastard.]

[A pair of ash-colored ears perk up out of his hair, bristling and alert and swiveling their way. Seconds later, Ichimatsu jerks around. He doesn't sidestep it all that gracefully; it's barely a dodge at all, more of an awkward lope out of the way as he stumbles back a few steps back with a surprised look on his face. He blinks from the knife to Chara a few times.]

[His expression quickly sours into a mixture of confusion, relief, and irritability. Even as he starts spitting, he's tensed like a feline, obviously ready to make a break for it.]


What the hell was that for, you little asshole?
ichininyaanshi: (i've been taking my time)

[personal profile] ichininyaanshi 2018-07-09 02:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[The tigershark karma will catch up with him dw]

[Even if Chara's aggression has faded, Ichimatsu stays tightly wound up. His eyes narrow at them in distrusting silence for a good few beats, maybe trying to figure out what kind of situation he's in exactly..]

[Finally, with another hissing spit, he thrusts his hand out palm-up, holding it in the air between them. One of his ears flick with obvious irritability. Maybe a touch of unease.]


I don't get you, kid.
