[ here is Shou, looking pretty designer hip in his normal way, although there are patches of what looks like flaky burned skin on his face and especially on the back of his hands. there is also a few wisps of smoke coming from under his jacket. ]

Next time someone tells me to take a sooner flight, make sure that they need to tell me to make it a night one. You know how fucking hard it is to hide that you're bursting into flames in fronta people?

[ also his accent is fully back. if you were one of the people he had a phone convo with in the past few weeks, he sounded far better at speaking English than the mismash of words he uses now. ]

Feel like I just got stuck on a toasting rack or something... Okay who's still breathing and whaddo I gotta kill now that I'm back?

[OH LOOK HERE'S YOUR HORSE.]

:Shou!:

[ursoreckless]

[ Tony had told him about his horse, he just had thought Tony was pulling his leg after the whole phone convo about dating and such. ]

Areonwen, hey. You've got your voice back.

[wingsister]

:And I'm clever again. I missed being clever. So much happened, Shou. Torin and I fought an evil crow who wasn't the one that killed me. I just thought it was at first.:

[ursoreckless]

I think a lot of people would miss being clever but they don't realize they ain't. [ he grins and then makes a face, rubbing some icky burnt skin off his cheek. ]

...An evil crow that killed you? But it wasn't?

[wingsister]

:Well, it was more I missed it in retrospect, I guess.

The person I used to be, she was killed by an evil crow. One of the people. I think I might have been two? Or one person who was human-shaped sometimes and horse-shaped the rest of the time.:

I thought I told you to bring sunscreen.

[Video]

[ursoreckless]

Sunscreen doesn't work iffin you don't put it on.

[Video]

[chalicejoker]

You know, when someone tells you to bring sunscreen, the implication is usually that you put it on.

[Video]

[ursoreckless]

Me being human and not wired into the Network is me being very stupid about things like sunscreen.

[chalicejoker]

So you're saying that if you've got to go away on business again, I need to send you a bunch of nagging texts?

[charcoalfeather]

Uh, are you okay?!

[Smoke rising from one's body cannot be good, in Rakka's mind.]

Umm... did you notice the Doppelgangers around, yet?

[ursoreckless]

Don't worry about the smoke; I just do that now if I'm gonna be an idiot about some things.

Yah, had one try sweet talking me before I hadda go home for a while.

[charcoalfeather]

Uh, okay...

Sweet talking? [That... what?] What do you mean?

[ursoreckless]

He wanted to take me on a date.

[charcoalfeather]

Oh.... weird.

[Understatement of the century.]

Hopefully it wasn't anyone you knew?

Hey, Shou.

[Putting everything else aside, there's something very important that he needs to say to the other man first.]

... You look like shit.

[ursoreckless]

Sunlight is pretty bad for my health, apparently.

[ and he is going to pull off his jacket and shirt and beat out the last little flicks of flames. ]

Which sucks.

[brotimaeus]

Figures.

[Some kind of vampire, or what?]

You're gonna have to go for the pale and mysterious look.

[ursoreckless]

[ some kind of vampire, yup. he's even got the teeth to prove it. ]

I can do pale and mysterious.

On my good days.

[brotimaeus]

And on your bad days you look like someone lit a fire on the inside of your clothes? It's a risk, dude, I don't know if you can carry it off.

[Just sighing at him here...]

One word... Parasol.

[She happens to be outside, and in the day too. And of course she has her parasol too.]

It helps if you wear some sunblock too, you know.

[ursoreckless]

I was flying in from Japan and really didn't feel like going full loli-kei for the flight.

[he just shrugs, scratching at a spot on his chin.]

I'm a bit of an idiot too.

Re: [Video]

[scarlet_devil]

Loli-what now? I suppose you night like an umbrella better

[A sigh.]

Let's... not make a habit of this.

Frilly dresses built with a male wearer in mind.

[ he grins because he so does have some of those, though he tends more towards the Gothic type of styles. ]

I try not to, but I was in a hurry.

[scarlet_devil]

[She blinks, she wasn't exactly expecting that answer.]

What, do mean like drag?
