TREASURE

You are so, so sure there's treasure in the cave. Just a little bit further on than your light reaches. Juuuuust a little further.

No, further.

Go on.

This is completely safe.

[treasure, huh. well, okay! there IS something pretty important that he's looking for.

climbing over the rocks and inching a little further into the dark]

[Ice pops. The sign outside this damn cave said there were ice pops in here, but so far he's found nothing but rocks. Damp rocks. Even perched high up on a slippery ledge isn't helping him see better.]

Tch!
oppositeofpeople: (Eiji)

[personal profile] oppositeofpeople 2016-09-25 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[he stumbles on an especially slippery rock and stops and—was that the sound of somebody else in here?]

...Hello? Is someone there?
galaxyhearts: (Ankh surprised)

[personal profile] galaxyhearts 2016-09-25 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[His head whips around, eyes wide. It sounded like...]

Eiji?
oppositeofpeople: (Eiji)

[personal profile] oppositeofpeople 2016-09-25 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[wait wait WHAT]

—Ankh?
galaxyhearts: (Ankh surprised)

[personal profile] galaxyhearts 2016-09-25 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[He jumps from his high perch, gravel crunching under his feet.

He stands and stares for a long moment, barely breathing.

Eiji.

He nods.]
oppositeofpeople: (Eiji)

[personal profile] oppositeofpeople 2016-09-25 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[this. this was not the way he expected to encounter Ankh again. for a minute he's just staring, as if he could be mistaken in the dim light, as if this could be anything other than what it looks like, as if—

and then the realization actually hits him, that Ankh is here, and he lunges for a hug without another thought]
galaxyhearts: (Ankh smiling for real)

[personal profile] galaxyhearts 2016-09-25 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[His body jolts and stiffens as Eiji barrels into him. This is a thing he'll never get used to. But... it's good. He can feel Eiji's warmth, and his energy, and he feels... good.

So he allows it to happen. For a while.]
oppositeofpeople: (Eiji)

[personal profile] oppositeofpeople 2016-09-25 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[someday he'll do this and Ankh will hug him back! he has faith. someday it'll happen. but for now even this is great: they're together and they're not fighting and Ankh... is.

he doesn't let go but he mumbles into Ankh's shoulder]

How did this—how did you get here?
galaxyhearts: (Ankh starin pensively at the OOO coins)

[personal profile] galaxyhearts 2016-09-25 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[He cocks his head, considering the question. He isn't sure how he ended up here, once he thinks about it. For a long time, he knows he wasn't... here. In this world. He looks over Eiji's shoulder at his own hands, flexing them. Here, now. And there was a sign outside that pointed to things he desired.

He huffs out a laugh.]

Ice pops. I was promised ice pops.

[helpless laughter, because that answers nothing and yet it's Ankh all over]

That's not what I meant, I—

Wait, are you from the future again?
galaxyhearts: (Ankh sneering)

[personal profile] galaxyhearts 2016-09-25 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[Mmm. He likes hearing Eiji laugh. That question makes him frown, though.]

Haah? The future? Did you hit your head on the rocks?
oppositeofpeople: (Eiji)

[personal profile] oppositeofpeople 2016-09-25 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
No! The last time I saw you, you'd shown up from the future to help us fight a possessed future Kamen Rider!

[what if there's a red light like someone is using a laser to look around your general area

i mean that's because someone is using a laser to look around. a snail laser. snail laser night vision goggles.]
oppositeofpeople: (Eiji)

[personal profile] oppositeofpeople 2016-09-27 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
[what if chasing the laser that's what you do with lasers right]
rightbrainiac: (Default)

[personal profile] rightbrainiac 2016-09-27 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
[whoops there's a person at the other end of this laser, do you see him in time?]
oppositeofpeople: (Eiji)

[personal profile] oppositeofpeople 2016-09-27 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
[this is a weird way to get to a treasure but okay he's going for it, he's]

—Oh no—

[not seeing you in time]
rightbrainiac: (definitely compelling)

[personal profile] rightbrainiac 2016-09-27 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
[oof okay he doesn't have enough mass not to get knocked over, this wikipedia is definitely hitting the ground. weirdly, he doesn't seem upset by this.]

Are you some kind of wildlife? Mythological creature? Oh, are you a cave-dwelling bandit?
oppositeofpeople: (Eiji)

[personal profile] oppositeofpeople 2016-09-27 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
What? No! I'm definitely not a bandit! Are you okay? That was an accident! I'm so sorry.

[can he help you up, because he's definitely going to try]
rightbrainiac: (definitely compelling)

[personal profile] rightbrainiac 2016-09-27 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
So does that make you part of the local fauna, or a mythological creature?

[tbh he doesn't seem to notice or care that he got knocked over! he will let you help him up, though he is definitely more interested in looking through the goggles at you.]
oppositeofpeople: (Eiji)

[personal profile] oppositeofpeople 2016-09-27 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think so! Not either of those things. I'm just exploring. Are you looking for treasure too?

[peering at you awkwardly, from one angle and then another, as if he could see past the goggles if he tried]
rightbrainiac: (unsure if fascinating)

[personal profile] rightbrainiac 2016-09-27 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
[wait, now that he's getting a good look at you he realizes he's seen you before]

Ah, does a Kamen Rider not count as a mythological creature? Hello, Eiji Hino.

[now that he's satisfied himself that you aren't a new and exciting lifeform, he'll put the goggles down and let them turn back into a cute snail robot]
oppositeofpeople: (Eiji)

[personal profile] oppositeofpeople 2016-09-27 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I guess maybe it—

Wait, do we know each other? I don't recognize you, I'm so sorry.

[also your goggles being a cute robot is distracting fyi]
rightbrainiac: (definitely compelling)

[personal profile] rightbrainiac 2016-09-27 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
We've met several times! Though in retrospect, you probably don't see my face very often. That is more Shoutarou's job.

[maybe the snail robot is gonna poke at your foot]
oppositeofpeople: (Eiji)

[personal profile] oppositeofpeople 2016-09-27 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
[maybe he's gonna crouch and poke at the snail robot right back]

We've... oh! You're the other half of Double, aren't you? Philip, right?
