[bgcolor=#cc0000][color=black]KANKRI:[/color][/bgcolor] He wishes he could do more for her... but he can't. Not at this very moment. It sucks to watch her leave disheartened, but it had to be this way for the time being. "Yes, I will 6e seeing y9u in the future..." he listened for hee full exit before sighing and sinking further into the war... ughhh... he feels horrible; mentally, physically, it doesn't matter. He's just plain... downtrodden. He takes a bit to finish washing up before getting out. He blows out all the candles and drains the water. There are only ONE pair of RIGHTEOUS LEGGINGS, and he elected to put them back on, so he'll have to seek out Porrim sooner or later. As for sweaters he did have a spare in his sylladex, so he simply swapped the two. What should he do? Find some professional help or... sleep..? No, Kankri couldn't sleep now even if he forced himself to lay down- his body was exhausted and his head hurt, but his core was perturbed beyond belief. Rest would have to wait. He chose to... go for another walk. This time INDOORS. Hopefully THIS ONE won't cause any emotional stress for anybody... 01:43:28

[color=#008282]LATULA: There was a tell-tale grinding sound coming from outside that only meant one thing: the RADDEST GRL HAD FINALLY MADE AN APPEARANCE. The loud grinding didn't last especially long before it was interrupted by the sound of glass breaking as she did a SICK FLIP through a window. She nailed the landing, doing a kickflip before kicking her board into her hand. "N41L3D 1T!!!! d1d 4nybody s33 th4t????" Latula looked around, board in hand, before spotting Kankri and pointing at him. "d1d you S33 th4t????" Latula had her usual broad, excited grin as she sent her board to her sylladex. 01:59:10

[bgcolor=#cc0000][color=black]KANKRI:[/color][/bgcolor] What was that grating noise? He knew his mind was all scattered, but he never expected to hear his individual pancells grinding against one another just to figure out his problems- WHAT WAS THAT!? Kankri rushed to look over the banister while halfway down the stairs- oh! Oh. Oh, no- He flinched when Latula pointed at him, wishing that he had been a Void player like Horuss so that he may use his powers to potentially become invisible, instead he was stuck seeing the tail end of Latula's self-satisfying performance of alleged "R4d1c4l Stunts". Now... most certainly was not a good time to have to confront her- or more things about himself, either "Uhm.. Yes, yes, what a w9nderful... trick. 6ut I must say such triggering transpirati9ns are t9 6e fr9wned up9n. F9r 9ne, if I've t9ld y9u 9nce, I've m9re than likely t9ld y9u six-hundred and sixty-nine times- 9r perhaps... nine-hundred and sixty-nine..? We shall cut d9wn t9 a mere sixty-nine time f9r the sake 9f brevity. The p9int is: safety f9r y9urself, why are y9u n9t wearing the pr9per gear f9r such stunts?"[br] [br]He made his way down the stairs completely, inspecting the glass chips and demolished window caused by her recklessness. "Sec9ndly, destructi9n 9f pu6lic pr9perty, which will als9 tie int9 safety: f9r 9thers. As any9ne c9uld have 6een injured 6y y9ur entrance, 6e it n9w fr9m y9u having the p9tential t9 crash int9 them, 9r later fr9m the glass littering the fl99r 02:24:43
He had already begun the process of cleaning up after her, materializing a broom and reforming the broken window. He began to sweep the chips of glass into a pile. Kankri usually had a softer spot for Latula and Mituna when it came to lecturing their habits—triggering, dangerous, or otherwise—but as of this moment it seemed as though Kankri was throwing the book regulations at her, "Let us n9t f9rget, riding ind99rs as it is an easy gateway activity t9 unintenti9nal vandalism and c9uld cause further injuries t9 th9se ar9und y9u. I sh9uldn't have t9 even explain things that include, 6ut are in n9 way limited to: trauma (physical 9r mental), a6use 9f an9ther's d9micile, the presumpti9n that 9thers can and will 6e a6le t9 react t9 y9ur stunts in a timely matter t9 av9id harm c9ming t9 them, inciting 9thers t9 [i]als9[/i] partake in such danger9us activites and, m9st 96vi9us 9f all, extreme sp9rts that can in n9 way 6e facilitated 6y an ind99r structure n9t specifically 6uilt t9 entertain such things." 02:24:47
[color=#008282]LATULA: Daaang, was it just her, or was Kankri being more of a killjoy than usual? "um, c4us3 1m 4lr34dy d34d???? plus 1t would TOTZ fuck w1th my s1ck g3t-up." She crossed her arms as she listened to him. Usually he didn't lecture [i]her[/i] so thoroughly, but she usually would sit through whatever he had to say, anyways. If Porrim wasn't able to remove him from trouble, she was usually the last shot their group had of getting him out of whatever shit he got himself into.[br] [br]"yooo, ch1ll your fl4pz for 4 mo, k4nkz. d1d som3th1n h4pp3n? you s33m ups3t. l1k3- mor3 th4n usual." She had already put her board away because she knew that riding her board indoors was reckless, but making a SICK ENTRANCE was absolutely necessary if she was gonna be showing up anywhere. Latula walked closer to him, giving him a firm smack on the back. "you c4n t4lk to m3! c4nt l3t you go 4round torm3nt1ng yours3lf, h4h4." She was going to ask him to give her five for her KILLER MOVES, but she supposed that would have to wait for later. 02:34:09
PORRIM: ((cant fo+o+l a mind player kanklez 02:36:05
[bgcolor=#cc0000][color=black]KANKRI:[/color][/bgcolor] Her response was expected, a gruff sigh being returned. Fashion over Utility. Listening to her talk just proved how little people thought if Kankri's words. He kept at his sweeping, not paying her much mind but filtering her words appropriately to make her "L1ngo" make more sense to his pan. All it amounted to was a tall order of her essentially saying "it's no big deal". Kankri shut his eyes, trying to pretend as though she didn't just ask about his own state of being, of course that was halted when she put a smack to his back- striking over Aranea's scratch marks and causing Kankri to yelp, leaping away from her as if she'd flung hot grease toward him. The glass crunched and scattered beneath his feet while he stumbled away, turning to face her so that he may defend his backside from anymore jarring contact, "I AM C9MPLETELY FINE, 9KAY!?" Oooh. He has yelled at people before; Meenah, Porrim, Cronus, Damara, on the rare occasion he saw her, but never [i]Latula[/i]. He straightened up, ignoring the flaring pain on his back I am just sh9wing the [u]APPR9PRIATE[/u] am9unt 9f c9nsider t9wards safety pr9t9c9ls and [u]PR9PER[/u] respect f9r a 6uilding that I myself granted n9 assistance in constructing. That is all." 02:48:21
(he gonna certainly try today :V 02:48:32
[color=#008282]LATULA: Her brows went up at his over-the-top reaction. Sure, her smacks hit pretty hard, but not hard enough to warrant such a big reaction from Kankri. She almost seemed to shrink away from him briefly when he raised his voice towards her, partly because he had never done so before. "um, k4nkr1, nobody bu1lt th1s pl4c3. 1tz just 4 m3mory." Latula tried to apply some reasoning to his words, but she brought her hand up to adjust her glasses as she tried to move away from the topic of the building. It was pretty obvious that whatever happened to him, he wasn't willing to talk about it with her. "look, 1 d1dnt m34n 4nyth1ng by 1t. 1 d1dnt m34n to ups3t you. 1s your b4ck ok4y???? 1 d1dnt th1nk 1 h1t you th4t h4rd..." Actually, she was pretty sure she didn't. Especially with his own extra layer of cushioning from his thick sweater, it surely wouldn't have inflicted so much pain on him. "d1d som3on3 hurt you??? ooh 1ll m4k3 th3m r3th1nk th31r d3c1s1ons!!!! who w4s 1t, huh? who do 1 gott4 go 4ft3r????" 02:57:56

[bgcolor=#cc0000][color=black]KANKRI:[/color][/bgcolor] Right, the building isn't constructed it's "dreamt" up. Either way, neither of them were the ones to cause its existence in this bubble, so the least he could do was treat it with the respect he would wish someone to have while in his own hive. Kankri would apologize for being rather uncharacteristically pugnacious and short with her, but at the same time, he was a bit frustrated- not that any of it has to do with Latula- not right now, at least, but Kankri was already putting his guard up. "It's fine, it's fine, n969dy has mistreated me, all have 6een kind and acc9mm9dating- if y9u are wishing t9 seek justice f9r any69dy, Cr9nus is in need 9f s9me l9ng 9verdue ap9ls. Y9ur eff9rts w9uld 6e 6etter spent 9n him." He got back to his sweeping, having made MORE work for himself seeing as he stepped the glass into even smaller shards. Kankri wasn't even paying mind to the fact that he just told the matesprit of troll Cronus had been off-and-on bullying to come to his aid. Kankri was usually more diligent about not mentioning Mituna to Cronus or vice versa with Cronus to either Mituna or Latula, but he was in his on mental space at the moment. 03:12:33
("Go save your boyfriend's biggest opp" [color=teal]"FUCKING W H A T, BRO??????" 03:13:33
[color=#008282]LATULA: Latula's face contorted into a look of disgust at the mere thought of helping Cronus. She would rather double-die than help [i]him.[/i] But that wasn't something she was going to say to Kankri, especially with him already being in a pretty bitter mood. Man, Kankri was even more of a sourpuss than usual! "1m pr3tty sur3 h3 c4n h4ndl3 h1ms3lf." Cronus was usually the one upsetting others or making others uncomfortable, anyway. Latula opened her mouth for a moment, about to offer to take over in cleaning up her own mess, but at this point she didn't want to get any more involved than she already had. Kankri wasn't her moirail, so she wasn't going to put in any extra effort to try and console him if it didn't concern her personally. "um. w3ll, 1t w4s good s331ng you 4g41n. 1 th1nk 1 just r3m3mb3r3d th3r3z som3wh3r3 1 n33d to b3. [sub](l1k3, l1t3r4lly 4nywh3r3 3ls3 lolz)[/sub]" He seemed a little too preoccupied to hold a conversation. I mean, he wasn't even doing that weird thing where he points out a bunch of qualities about her that he found endearing out of nowhere. "hop3 you, uh, f33l b3tt3r???? s33 ya, k4nkl3z!" She did her best to regain her composure before trotting away, trying to avoid anymore oncoming lectures from the crabby individual. 03:22:54

[bgcolor=#cc0000][color=black]KANKRI:[/color][/bgcolor] He would have scoffed at her excuse if he were really tapped in to anything she was talking about, simply letting sigh grace the air as his body deflated a bit. He ceased his sweeping as she began saying her farewells and so on and so forth, pressing a hand to his temple, "9f c9urse, y9u are quite the p9pular 9ne, after all. It w9uld 6e a rather egregi9us crime t9 keep y9u fr9m any p9tential gr9upies y9u c9uld amass." He made no real remarks about meeting with her. He wasn't even going to properly send her off with a polite "good to see you too"? That much could not stand- what was going on with Kankri? He could not just lash out a be rude just because of his own current afflictions prompted by emotional turmoil that he couldn't even hope to understand. "I... Mm... It's n9thing, nevermind.

She had to put on her cool girl act, after all. It was pretty obvious that she was a little disgruntled by his previous behavior towards her, though.

Being an admirer of hers—albeit ignorant as to what way he adored her—there were certain tells he could pick up on when it came to her in particular. Unlike with Porrim, where he just passively began to accrew the Jade's telltale signs for particular things, he [i]actively[/i] took note of Latula's signals; whether she meant to give them off or not, so he did feel bad about potentially hurting her feelings just a few moments ago "Even y9u?" Kankri didn't mean it as a sort of 'Gotcha', but he was genuinely curious. Kankri wasn't going to pretend to be the most emotionally adept of his group, but even he could never recall seeing or hearing of Latula having even a bad [u]minute[/u], so it seemed rather disingenuous to act as though all was well with her with such a juxtaposition happening right before his eyes just a few seconds prior." 04:12:36

She laughed a bit, but was taken off guard when he posed the question as to whether she also went through hard times. There was a moment where she paused, thinking over her struggles after losing her sense of smell. Even if it didn't seem like that big of a deal, Kankri usually made such a federal case about it that she came to realize just how much her life changed after being unable to smell. "uhh." Latula paused for a moment, her smile faltering slightly as she cleared her throat. "y-y34h, 1 gu3ss! b31ng tot4lly cool 1n 3v3ry w4y do3snt m4k3 m3 1mmun3 to d34l1ng w1th tough sh1z, h4h4..." 04:17:32
[bgcolor=#cc0000][color=black]KANKRI:[/color][/bgcolor] "Hm." That was a much more reasonable answer than he had expected of her, so he figured there was no need to truly press into her any further on that front. Adding discomfort to the agitation Kankri had brought upon her not too long ago would prove to be a whole other can of worms. He would put on a smile, but he was feeling far too faint for that- his head weighed infinitely and nothing all at the same time. There was a static he felt running through it even though he could think with plenty of cognizance. He let out a small sigh, finishing his sweep job and getting them into a dustpan, "F9rgive my rudeness, I never even asked- h9w are y9u d9ing? Where is Mituna?

[color=#008282]LATULA: She relaxed a little once his disposition seemed to have cooled off a little bit. "dont worry 4bout 1t!" The mention of Mituna did cause her to pause. Mituna had been difficult to find recently, but she wasn't too worried since he was usually with his dream-lusus if he wasn't with her or Kurloz. "1 h34rd 4 lot of p3opl3 from our group w3r3 h4ng1ng out h3r3, so 1 c4m3 h3r3 to s33 1f h3 3nd3d up h3r3 too. c4nt B3L13V3 you guys would p4rty w1thout 1nv1t1ng m3! th1s pl4c3 mustv3 b33n such 4 snooz3f3st b3for3 1 got h3r3 lolz."

[bgcolor=#cc0000][color=black]KANKRI:[/color][/bgcolor] Poof. Mess gone. How convenient of the dream bubbles to be so malleable with someone's actions, that was perk to death at the very least, "I see, then I regret t9 rep9rt that I have n9t seen him either- I c9uld help y9u search f9r him y9u'd like- 6ut 9nly if that is s9mething y9u wish f9r assistance in." He lightly folded his arms, looking out the window. Still snowy, not that he would change it, he finds it to be quite cozy, though it may have to do with the fact Kankri's mutated blood burns hotter than anyone elses, so the cold not only is a non-issue, but feels rather good. "6elieve me, my pan has all its c9mpartments 9perating at max efficiency, 6ut I supp9se it w9uld 6e fair t9 say I was missing y9ur... rather extravagant pers9nality." It certainly could offer a distraction for the time being at least. 04:50:28
[color=#008282]LATULA: "h3llz y34h!!!! 1 know w3 c4n f1nd just 4bout 4nybody w1th you 4round, h4h4h4! 1 sw34r you know how to f1nd p3opl3 just b3cuz th3y s41d som3th1n out loud lolz!!" Her lips curved back up into a big grin. She usually wasn't one to spend a lot of time around Kankri, but she wasn't sure there was really anyone else around to help. Let alone anyone else who would be quite as effective at finding people. Kankri just manages to pop up into conversations when he isn't even nearby, after all. But his comment more-or-less implying he missed her caused a faint teal to rise to her cheeks. His random compliments were never NOT a little embarrassing. "1, uh. 1 w4s m1ss1ng you, too, k4nkl3z! l1k3, d4ng, 1t f33lz l1k3 w3 h4v3nt run 1nto 34ch oth3r 1n sw33pz. 1m sur3 youv3 b33n busy, tho." 04:56:23
[bgcolor=#cc0000][color=black]KANKRI:[/color][/bgcolor] He nodded at her... plaudit? Could Kankri even really say Latula was paying him a bit of flattery for essentially being a... [i]blood[/i]hound? Well, whatever the case, he took it in stride, "9h, that is nice t9 hear." Everyone must have split off at some point- usually everyone was a mere bubble or two–possibly four at the very most–away from one another, but they would always be in a rather decent vicinity. Then again, he had gone off on his "Journey of Seclusion" long ago, Kankri very well could have missed out on their want to split up. Still, they all seem to be converging here now. "6usy... I guess, y9u c9uld say that..." he rubbed over his neck tiredly- oh, bless Aranea's unbeating heart, his neck is doing great. Still, "busy" would be putting all that has transpired rather sparsely. He cleared his throat, brushing off those other thoughts, "Did y9u wish t9 start seeking Mituna 9ut n9w 9r were y9u m9st c9mf9rta6le with all9wing him t9 f9rge his 9wn path here?" 05:07:14
(inb4 she starts tweaking out due to his methods :V 05:10:39
[color=#008282]LATULA: Latula lifted her hands in a shrug. She did JUST come in from outside. "1 d1dnt s33 h1m 4round outs1d3, so 1f you h4v3nt s33n h1m 1NS1D3 h3 prob4bly 1snt 4round y3t. 1m sur3 h3 w1ll g3t h3r3 soon!" As far as she could tell, at least half of their group had popped up around here already. Mituna's arrival was probably just a matter of time. "why dont w3 just ch1ll for now? w3 c4n pl4y som3 g4m3z or som3th1ng! 1 prom1s3 1 wont go TOO h4rd on you, h4h4h4h4!" Although, it was unlikely she would go easy, either. She was a MASTER at winning games (sgrub aside). "1 c4nt 1m4g1n3 ouv3 l3t yours3lf 4ctu4lly r3l4x 1n 4 wh1l3. your3 4lw4yz worry1ng 4bout oth3r p3opl3z 1ssu3z. you should focus on your own for onc3!" She raised a fist to give a gentle bump against his arm, making sure not to hit him too hard. Didn't want to cause another big reaction, after all. 05:13:21

[bgcolor=#cc0000][color=black]KANKRI:[/color][/bgcolor] He was unflinching from the bump to his arm. She could have gone harder- she [i]has[/i] gone harder, he must of frightened her rather severely. Still, he wouldn't call this to Latula's attention, "I w9uld n9t agree with that n9ti9n, I 6elieve I've 6een... diminished in my stress quite 9ften while I have 6een here, 6ut either way, if y9u are c9nfident in his arrival, then I trust y9u. Y9u've always 6een a great decision-making tr9ll, I have c9mplete faith in y9ur judgement." It was not a total lie, so he felt at ease telling her he had been somewhat stress free- sure, Porrim was rather clingy... then there's the Serket Sekret being kept and all THAT entails with Aranea and... well, okay he does have a lot on his plate, but he isn't TOO overwhelmed. At this very moment at least. "A game? Mhm. I will entertain the idea, 6ut I d9u6t I c9uld 6est s9me9ne as awes9me as y9u- even if y9u [i]d9[/i] take it easy 9n me." 05:26:55

[color=#008282]LATULA: If she started to feel like she needed to actually seek Mituna out, she will be sure to bring it up again. It wasn't like it was her biggest concern at the moment, though. She let out a rather loud laugh, snorting slightly at his comment. "h4h4h4, nobody c4n b34t TH3 g4m3grl!" Latula adjusted her glasses down the bridge of her nose to look over them at Kankri's face. "not 3v3n som3on3 w1th s33m1ngly 3ndl3ss knowl3dg3 of obscur3 soc14l 1ssu3z." She put her glasses back into their normal place, smiling broadly. "th3n wh4t 3ls3 1s th3r3 to do 4round h3r3? youv3 b33n h3r3 for 4 wh1l3, r1ght??? th3r3z gott4 b3 som3th1ng 3v3n YOU 3njoy do1ng, r1ght??? 1 just hop3 1t 1snt som3th1ng th4t would b3 4 m4jor snooz3f3st to 4nyon3 3ls3, h3h." She made a gesture as though covering a yawn, winking over her glasses at him after doing so. 05:32:16

He took no real offense to her descriptor of how he proceeded with things, many didn't get it and the last thing he would do is FORCE them to understand. Just getting them to listen would be more than enough. "Ah-" what did he like doing here? All he has done is walk around and talk with the others. Was there anything in particular he did with anyone... umm.. he... sort of mocked camped with Damara and Kurloz– it was really just a bonfire and some snacks he didn't partake in and- UM. Forget about Damara and Kurloz, what about with Porrim? Well, there was- UHHHHHHHHHH. NOPE. Okay, okay! No need to worry, surely with Aranea there was something. They... went on history trip! That was neat, a bit of a field trip and then- OH. Kankri's face teased a faint rosy blush as he tried to think of things he did while here that would be considered FUN- but all he had reallg been doing is... uhhh... "N-N9thing much has really 6een g9ing 9n f9r me! Just s9me... chats and such. I'm willing t9 try whatever y9u may find t9 6e an exhilirating challenge, th9ugh." Just smile and pretend he hasn't gotten into any risque business. 05:49:11
(I watch too many videos to respond in 5 minutes :V i could if I locked in, but I never lock in >:v 05:50:01
[color=#008282]LATULA: Latula watched him wrack his pan, rather desperately, for something interesting to suggest for them to do. It wasn't that shocking that he would struggle to come up with something that might not bore her into a second death, considering his only hobbies really just seemed to be talking, talking, and talking some more. She giggled a little at the thought. Luckily for him, her red shades prevented her from seeing the faint change in the color of his cheeks. Although, his unusual stammer did cause her to lift a brow. His hesitation made it look awfully suspicious. Almost like he was trying to hide some kind of affair. Nah, there's no way. This is KANKRI we are talking about. One of the crabbiest individuals, especially when it came to most forms of physical contact, she knew.[br] [br]"hmmm." She rested a hand on her hip as she tried to take a turn coming up with something BOTH of them could enjoy doing. It was pretty hard. Kankri wasn't too fond of doing SICK TRICKS on the board, nor was he very interested or good at many games. "d444ng, 1 dont know 1f th3r3z much w3 both l1k3 to do. uh." She looked up and to the side as if looking for ideas on the ceiling. She supposed she could just poke some fun at him? That was usually kind of fun. Latula snorted quietly at the thought of his old, poorly written memos. That was something she'd already jeered him about enough, though. "um. 1 gu3ss w3 could just go for 4 w4lk wh1l3 w3 th1nk of som3th1ng to do?" 05:58:16
[bgcolor=#cc0000][color=black]KANKRI:[/color][/bgcolor] Whew. Safe. He stood there, watching Latula just... be Latula. He liked her being her, what more was there to say about it? Of course, he couldn't say he found her smile as enchanting as Aranea's was earlier... something about it always wary of how she really felt about things at times, still, it was certainly a bih one- possibly the biggest smiler in the whole group. Kankri took to look toward the ground as she mulled over an option for them to engage in, but it would appear both of them were having a rough go at it. "A walk?" He thought about it some- [i]walks are usually what cause him so much trouble-[/i] come now, Vantas, don't be so paranoid! Correlation is not causation, right? It JUST SO HAPPENS that every time you go for walks, things get a bit... antically inclined... Kankri shook the thought away before looking Latula in her shades, "A nice str9ll s9unds l9vely, I w9uldn't mind a change 9f scenery. It may j9g 9ur pr9cessing p9wer in 9ur pursuit f9r a fun "game". I will say, I'm willing t9... amuse whatever c9mes t9 y9ur mind, s9 d9 n9t hesitate t9 just put it 9ut there." 06:09:59
PORRIM: ((10+ mins later: so+ what if we smashed? Kankri: DAMMIT WHY DID I SAY I WOULD AMUSE WHATEVER SHE SUGGESTED 06:11:19
