Second Bullet; [Video | Mirror]

[dyingtohealyou]

Alright, I give.

[Akito is sitting in his seat, arms crossed, with a cardboard box to the side on his desk. For those that have seen him before, his eyes seem a little... different.]

Does anyone know anything about contacts? Specifically, colored ones. I got some cheaper ones, but they hurt my eyes and I can barely see. I don't know how else to explain to my parents about my new eye color - wearing colored contacts to make them this color is a little too weird. I doubt they'd buy it.

[He's spent too much time testing their limits to know what will and won't fly. And speaking of flying...]

Also, has anyone noticed all the sick birds around town? I haven't heard anything about the sickness, but this guy was sitting outside my door when I came back today.

[It's here that he picks up the box, tipping it just enough to show a very still bundle of feathers covered in part by a towel. He gently puts a hand on the cloth and reaffirms that it is indeed still alive when it gives a weak flutter in response. Satisfied, Akito will set the box to the side again.]

I'm not really sure what to do with it. It definitely looks diseased, but I've got no idea if it's something humans can catch or not.

[He leans back thoughtfully before saying one last thing.]

Hey-- Nick, right? Sorry, I got kind of busy. Would you still be up for lessons sometime?

I did, I just haven't figured out how to use them yet.

Oh? Like what?

Force fields that can also destroy other force fields. I used one to beat up a giant spider. I think.

That sounds like it could be useful.

Too bad you don't know how.

There must be something I haven't gotten back yet. A piece of equipment or something.

Do you have any idea what the basis of the power itself is? Like, are you sure it comes from you instead of something else?

I know it's something I control with my own mind, and I can feel how to do it, you know? Like the most natural thing in the world.

It's like remembering how to ride a bike if I had no idea what the hell a bike was, I guess.

Guess we'll just have to wait and see if you ever get the bike, then. Sucks, though.

Tell me about it. It's like karma or whatever picks what we get has something against me.

Maybe you did something terrible in your past life and now it's finally catching up.

That's a hell of a thing to assume about someone you barely know.

[dyingtohealyou]

I was only joking, y'know. Relax already!

Hey, this is serious. Bad luck is preventing me from stopping Zombie Bird Flu.

Guess we'll just have to rely on someone else who actually has a working awesome power.
