Room 504, Thursday Daytime

[intraspective]

There was a rather ominous level of rage emanating from room 504 today.

After being carried back to the dorms, Ino had slept in fits and starts, too wound up to ever really rest, and eventually gave up entirely.

A few hours later, Ino was sitting cross-legged on her floor, in one of Kabuto’s shirts and not much else (which, really, his shirts were more than long enough to be pajamas on her, come on) and fuming.

And considering how to burn the poster bits. Should she do it one piece at a time? Or all at once?

Ino would be good for tonight, and the boy hunting.

For now though—the poster bits were going to die by fire.

As soon as she figured out which way would be the most satisfying.

[Door shut, post open. Enter at your own risk zomg.]

Ino flailed. "It's not a game! People are going to treat it like one!"

"I don't know," Ichigo said slowly. "Didn't it say that they tested it and it's safe?"

[intraspective]

"Brains are never safe to move!"

His father was a doctor so he did have some idea that it really wasn't, but then... "Everyone keeps telling me things are different here. So maybe they do know more?"

[intraspective]

"Or maybe," she scathed, "they're both fucking morons."

Yeah.

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

Ichigo tried not to grin. "There's the distinct possibility of that," he shrugged a shoulder. "Maybe you should talk to them if you're that concerned."

[intraspective]

"Not allowed," she muttered viciously. "Or I'd kill them and Chad said I can't."

Chad was stupid. Stupid, stupid Chad.

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

He frowned. "Chad's usually right when he takes the time to say anything."

[intraspective]

"Chad wouldn't let me rip down posters either," she said, ripping one of the peices even smaller.

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

Watching her rip at the paper, Ichigo decided that he'd much rather have her put her anger there. "I see you listened."

[intraspective]

He got a positively vile look.

"I got these before he dragged me back here."

Obviously.

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

"Don't give me that look," Ichigo said, not looking all too intimidated. "See, Chad and I are buddies. At least, sort of. He's not the Chad I know, but he's close enough, and the Chad I do know I have a deal with. So if he commits himself to something, then I have to back him up."

He reached up to rub the back of his neck as if the muscles were sore from a long day's... lazing about. "It'd be a nuisance having to run you around town and then things would just get messy."

[intraspective]

"I hate you," Ino informed him.

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

Ichigo grinned. "And just after our second conversation?"

[intraspective]

"I hate you, and Chad, and Adah, and Igor, and everyone who thinks this is a good idea when it's not."

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

"I never said I think it's a good idea," Ichigo corrected calmly, still failing to look worried about Ino's mood. "In fact, I think it's a downright stupid idea. People just do stupid things."

He poked with his toe at the ex-posters. "It's like those idiots who smoke themselves to death, but you can't force them to stop. They know what the risks are so it's their choice really."

[intraspective]

She lashed out to kick at his feet.

"They don't know the risks!"

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

Damn. He actually let his guard down and Ichigo hit the floor with an umph.

"So just tell them," he grimaced.

[intraspective]

She kicked at him again.

"They'd just think 'oh, look, they've promised it's safe'," Ino scathed.

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

This time he was prepared and he blocked the kick, quickly reaching to grab hold of her ankle and pull her down too. "Stop it!"

[intraspective]

She went down, not in the right frame of mind to have been paying attention to the chance that he might, you know, not just let her kick him.

"Piss off!"

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

"Fine," he let go of her ankle and pushed to his feet. "You may have a point, Ino. I don't get this world enough yet to know, but just getting pissed off and deciding you hate anyone who doesn't agree with you isn't going to make anyone want to listen to you."

[intraspective]

She shrugged. "Whatever," Ino said. "It's not like I'm much of a somebody to many people anyway, so if they don't listen... it's not a new issue."

[first-guardian.livejournal.com]

"I'd listen if you weren't shouting so damn much," Ichigo grumbled. Or you know, kicking him. He was fairly used to the abuse, though.

[intraspective]

She just shrugged again. "I'm used to it."
