[ Rohan, on the other hand, isn't quite as pleased to see this cat. No, very much the opposite; the moment he hears that familiar voice, he becomes livid. Vane won't even get the chance to pet Yoruichi, because Rohan's pretty much cutting in immediately. ]

You ...! [ He sounds very much like an arch-nemesis right now. ] You're that cat from before! Damn you, are you following me?!

[ Whether or not that cat is following him, the outcome is all the same. Rohan feels slighted and he's hell bent on revenge. ] Don't think you'll ever be forgiven for what you pulled before! I had to throw away those shoes!

[ Vane better stop him, because he's going to use his sketchbook to smack a defenseless cat. ]

[ Actually the last thing she wants to do is follow this self-absorbed buffoon anywhere, but money is money and he's (on occasion) an easy target, and there's enough buffer in the form of a third person that Yoruichi feel safe enough loitering on the fringes of this group.

Even so. ]

They were ugly shoes to begin with. I simply did you a favor.

[ Actually she doesn't even remember what his shoes looked like, but they were probably ugly.

Even without Rohan half chasing her around, Vane's attempt at petting would have gone ignored, with Yoruichi dancing around the group as she continues to skitter just out of reach of Rohan's wildly waving sketchbook. Since Vane seems to be the more rational of the two, she addresses her next words to her. ]

Yes, I am your partner for this upcoming task. Now are you going to rein in your companion or stand there gawking like a fool?

[ they appeared to have some sort of ... history?

what kind of history... well, vane can't exactly detect it from the conversation itself. but, it seemed like this cat may have stole his shoes or damaged it? still, even vane thinks it's pretty difficult to stay mad at a cat. but, he keeps this comment to himself as he watches their exchange. it isn't like he has the leisure to really think about it either when he's a.) now trying to stop rohan from hitting a cat with his sketchbook, b.) trying to respond to the cat that... might be insulting him? ]

Guys! We're going to be working together so there's no need to get so heated! Right? Right?

[ ... also, he still might not be over this cat calling him a "fool."

... was this cat just like percy? so far it's seeming like it, but he keeps that thought to himself. he tries to put his arm around rohan, at least enough to pull him away and maybe give yourichi a bit more space to walk without being at risk. ] Besides, they say once the sun is up, it's a new day!

[ please ]

Argh! Let me go, Vane! [ Between them, Vane's got the physical strength, so Rohan can really only struggle, trying his hardest to get to where the cat is so he can teach it a lesson. ]

You're only saying that because you don't know what this cat has done. It targeted me and urinated on my shoes! Do you think I'll let that sort of thing slide?!

[ Plus, there's definitely something fishy about this cat and he wants to get to the bottom of it. The talking aside, there has to be a reason that he was targeted! Sadly, Yoruichi's staying just out of his Stand's range and there's nothing that he can do. ] Just you wait. Today is the day that I'll give you hell!

[ At some point, when he gets out of Vane's arms. Someone please remind him they have a mission to complete or he's going to keep up his supervillain-like tirade. ]

[ There's definitely something fishy about this cat, but that's a topic best saved for another hour lest they squander away their opportunity for more weather. ]

You will if you want to earn enough money to replace those shoes of yours.

[ No comment on the actual peeing on his shoes bit, because there's nothing to be gained by lying over such small things. She inches a bit closer, tail lashing back and forth in annoyance. Why must she have been paired with these idiots? Better she go off on her own and quest instead. ]

Now, follow me, unless the two of you would rather wrestle each other into the [ legokun-filled ] mud all day.

[ Maybe the secret is to just order the both of them around and leave no room for argument. ]

[ the only person who is probably not actually thinking too deeply on the cat is vane himself...

still, something tells him if this cat is capable of speaking, the reason for it ... doing its deed in rohan's shoe likely wasn't coincidence. a concept he keeps to himself, if just to keep rohan in relatively positive spirits (a task that is going awfully thus far). ] C'mon, it's just a cat. The little guy probably doesn't mean anything by it...

[ besides, vane enjoyed cats in general. but, he does his best to re-focus on their task. hence, he lifts his arm up to salute the cat. ] I wouldn't mind the wrestling, but we have a job, right? [ hence, he begins following suit, already beginning to push rohan's shoulders in the direction ... the cat dictates. ]

But, if you get tired, let me know! I can carry you easy! [ rohan too... ]

[ Don't carry him and Yoruichi at the same time. He doesn't want to be near that cat!! Being pushed just makes his mood sour, but he doesn't quite retaliate back at Vane. In some odd way, he actually likes the guy, even if he's also kind of annoying. ]

Didn't you hear it speak? It's no ordinary cat, and I know there's a reason it targeted me. [ Also, a reason it seems to be keeping its distance from Rohan, almost like it knows what he's capable of. HMM. Very adamantly: ] I'll find out.

[ He will carry out the mission, but he'll also search for the right opportunity to deliver his revenge. Hope Yoruichi likes having a hole stared into her back, courtesy of creepy cartoon villain Rohan-kun.

He was excited to explore the ruins before, but he's in a sour mood now, so he'll be spending most of the trek there doing just that. They'll arrive at the ruins soon enough, however... ]

[ As long as he's not doing anything weird back there, she honestly doesn't care if he's glaring daggers at her. If he wants to act like a baby all day, then he can go right ahead and do so.

Thankfully for them all, they reach the ruins without anyone dying, the real miracle of the day. Given Rohan's reluctance at being anywhere near Yoruichi, she'd opted to travel the distance by foot rather than hitch a ride with Vane, and so when she arrives, she leaps back up to a nearby boulder to address the two of them. ]

Now that we've arrived, I expect the two of you to get to work. I'll search around for any noteworthy landmarks and pass the information along.

[ Because she can't sketch the area with paws, obviously. ]

[ it's just like rohan to get this heated, he thinks. something he actually seems to take in stride for now. he isn't sure how a man can remain so angry at something so... cute, but vane decides not to question it too much. a wise decision considering the stakes (and rohan's crazy homie misery behavior). as the cat has stated, it'd be best for them to focus on exploration.

or more like vane should be more vigilant of their present backdrop, or else he's quick to lose sight of his intended path. ... aka, he gets lost. still, he seems excited at the prospect of being able to explore the area freely. ] So we just map out the area and let each other know if we find anything weird?

Was there anything we should be keeping out eyes peeled out for? [ but now that vane takes a look around, the ruins (esp. inside the cave) certainly were kinda weird, huh? he could definitely feel something. or maybe its just the nerves built up from exploring something totally new.

he wonders how much digging they'd need to do? ... either way, he's already beginning to... touch everything. ]

[ How dare this cat just waltz in and give him orders like this? He hasn't had to follow orders since he was a new mangaka, and the opinion of his editors still mattered in his career progression. He hates being undermined and disrespected, and if his hatred were a cake this would be another gallop of icing. ]

Vane! Why are you just following whatever that cat says? Nobody gave this cat the right to order us around. You really need to learn to think for yourself.

[ - and do what Rohan says instead, okay?

He's angry at Yoruichi but taking it out on Vane. That's happening. While Rohan does know how to be serious about his tasks, he'll need a bit of time to get over his hissy fit. aka give me another tag or two, ok ... ]

[ Don't be a rude-ass ho, Rohan. Who raised you this way?

As for Vane...well, he seems a bit simple-minded and far too genuine for his own good, but she'll take that over the screaming child throwing a tantrum. It's yet another reminder of why she'll never parent, at least for another century or two. She watches the both of them from her rocky perch, eyes narrowed and tail lashing back and forth. ]

Would you prefer to take the lead then? I was beginning to think that all you were capable of was whining.

[ And, as Vane is about to reach out to touch another strangely shaped rock, she snaps out: ]

Don't touch that so easily. It could be poisonous.

[ Who knows what weird plants might be growing in this area. ]

Hm? But, Mr. Cat over here seemed to be giving out pretty good advice?

[ especially, considering all the conflict that's cropped up so soon before departing. in reverse, it was kinda nice to focus on the task ahead of them for once, and yet... ] Besides, we're supposed to be working together, right? [ something he seems to stress with a brief tilt of his head.

but, as he's about to make contact with the plant, he hears yoruichi's chastising and instantly recoils from it. ]

Poisonous? I guess you're right. No matter how durable I am, poison seems a bit... [ he makes a strained expression as he finally begins to move onwards from that rockkun. only to awkwardly find his hand... rested on some other plant when he pulls away. ... ah,

he seems to stare it shocked, only to find... nothing happens. he lets out a huge sign of relief. ]

Edited (rockkun) 2018-05-13 13:13 (UTC)

[ He still hates Yoruichi, and he will plot out a way to get his revenge, but for now he does acknowledge that they have a task to fulfill. A task that requires putting his grievances aside. He will get back at her, though. Some way or another, his time will come!

Big sigh. ] Don't touch anything at all, Vane. Need I remind you what happened last time?

[ Only, last time Vane got poisoned, it was kind of Rohan's fault. That's just a technicality though, don't focus on it. Rohan picks up his Nikon camera, angling it in front of the ruins. ]

I would prefer to have my picture-taking day in peace, without certain shitbags ruining it with their presence, but this is fine. At least I have a good angle.

[ He tried to calm down, but he's still mad. Rohan Kishibe does not simply 'calm down'. At least he's actually being useful right now? ]
