[ursoreckless]

Too easy. [how could he explain that he often felt like he was just relearn the music? it wasn't that he didn't have the talent, he just didn't have the struggle to find that talent once he kept up with it.]

Why should I? People are people no matter what sex their body is.

[glancing at him for a moment and then grins.] Let's have an S&M party then. You can try it at my place and we can invite Adrian and get him to enjoy something to and maybe others can join in.

[depolarized]

What's with that? [A scoff.] You sound like you're looking for something.

[Nothing objectionable about that, considering gay marriage is legal here and all.] How'd he take finding out you were a guy, anyway?

[He brightens a bit.] Yeah, an S&M Party sounds good. We can even pair off and tag team if we get enough people.

[ursoreckless]

Maybe I am. I haven't a clue what it is though. I just feel... restless with the usual choices.

He didn't seem too upset. [he was a good looking guy even when he was in a skirt.]

Oh yeah. And we can get some take out and if people want to talk about serious stuff, they can go into the kitchen.

[depolarized]

Maybe you should run, then. Find out what it is that you need to know.

Serious stuff, huh. It's.. I saw something pretty weird when I was out on a job.

[ursoreckless]

That's what I'm doing here. Just... filling in time while I go about looking into other things and hoping something pings me.

Weird? Weird how? [a parking spot! Shou pounces on it before anyone else can claim it.]

[depolarized]

Just around here? No wonder. You should get out of the city. Or aren't you up to anything rougher than a dance floor? [Teases a bit.] There's a hiking trail not too far off. I... didn't forget, there.

[And that jolts him-- watch out for that fender-- nevermind.]

Weird like this. [He takes his phone out and taps through it, showing Shou the picture he managed to get.]

[ursoreckless]

I've been all over the world. This city is just another stop on my journey. [laughs at the idea] Ever danced in high heels?

[he's careful with his baby even if it doesn't seem like it. He turns off the car and unbuckles before looking at the picture.]

That is weird... If I didn't know any better I would think that InASquare was testing their latest game format in the real world.

[depolarized]

I could live without it. [Though Shou's free to try.]

[Riku unlocks the door on his side but doesn't get out just yet.]

I wish. These things were more like hairy little soot sprites. We went into a cabin to take cover.

[ursoreckless]

It's not that hard; you just got to balance on the balls of your feet. [he already has, thanks]

Did they attack you at all?

[depolarized]

You've tried it? [Maybe we should make this a crossdressing party, Shou.]

They didn't. That's the weirdest part. They just... went by.

[ursoreckless]

Half of my boots have heels on them. [don't give him ideas, or he'll make everyone wear a dress.]

That's weird. You'd think they'll be looking for us.

[depolarized]

Not so bad. [...I support this. You never asked if he ever wore heels at all, Shou.]

Maybe they're after something bigger than a couple of us.

[ursoreckless]

Of course, only a few of them have high heels. [oh dear, that would be so right err wrong... err right and wrong?]

Or maybe they're gathering information.

[depolarized]

Need a little boost? [It's an S&M Party, they should look the part, too. Roleplaying! Er. Cosplaying.]

About what? We barely know anything ourselves. The whole Sage message just sounds like a really bad prank. There's nothing to find.

[ursoreckless]

Not really. I just like how they make my legs look. [you just want to see him walk in those things, just admit it.]

Then maybe we just need to start digging around. Maybe see if the library has information or any place really.

[depolarized]

[That prompts a slightly choked laugh.] Shameless. [It's a compliment. Takes guts. They're very nice legs.]

I checked on the net, but there's nothing about 'stones of the earth' or anything like that. It's like a manga.

[ursoreckless]

And you know it. [he smiles because he knows it takes a lot of guts. aren't they ever?]

Nothing about legends from natives or anything?

[depolarized]

[Host in leather shorts and thigh high boots, Shou. Then make everyone else do it.]

Native Americans? No pings. Just a couple of jewelry shops. It might not even be really stones we're looking for.

[ursoreckless]

[those tight leather ones? oh dear, then people will believe that the party really is S&M and not for video games]

There's got to be something out there, some where.

[depolarized]

[Exactly. Riku will be your bouncer and push the little lost lambs back inside when they try to run.]

If there is, it's not going to be easy to find. [And he likes books but libraries tend to be stuffy.]

[ursoreckless]

[ah Riku so nice to Shou and his problems of communicating to the rest of the normal world]

That's why I wished there was someone like my brother involved in this. He is a bookworm and trying to pry him out of a library is like trying to pry Final Strike from the Rainbow Casino in Seven.

[depolarized]

[He's always been pretty broad minded.]

Your brother isn't in the Network, right? It's pretty weird who is and isn't. It's almost random. [Aside a generous portion of them being part or full japanese. A soft snort for that reference, though.] I liked motorcycle chase better anyway.

[ursoreckless]

[shou just forgets that not everyone speaks shou]

I've got a cousin on it but no one else. I know a couple others because of family business circles but they aren't family.

So do I, but Final Strike is useful against the Serphas.
