"Kid?"
"Yeah?"
"Jell-o's not intended to be utilitzed as a weapon either."
"Spoilsport."

Is funny how random assocation works... Start with a plunnie of Akako giving Hakuba a vial of something and we get a One Night / Coming Back story from Kaito's POV... o_O

Being dead wasn't quite as bad as one would think.
Yeah, okay, there had been the whole shock thing as he'd been -shot-, then there had been the whole falling part. The main thing he remembered was thinking how gold Hakuba's eyes had been when the search lights hit them. Funny the things that crossed your mind as you die.
He still couldn't remember hitting the water. Kind of like that whole thing about you're dreaming of falling, then you wake up.
Only he'd woken up dead.
That had been an interesting concept to wrap his mind around... Not that he blamed Akako. He'd actually been rather grateful to her, if nothing else than for giving him a chance to say good-bye. Not that Nakamori or Jii or Mom knew it. But he'd at least been able to say good-bye to Akako, sort of make amends with Hakuba and see Aoko one last time.
When the sun rose, he figured that'd be it. Poof, he'd be gone.
He certainly hadn't been expecting to find himself at the bottom of the ocean, surrounded by little red glowing shards. Little red glowy shards that he couldn't go past, sticking him under water in a boundary several metres by several metres big.
And there were FISH.
When people said you went to a bad place if you were naughty, they weren't joking.
Actually, once he gotten used to the fish, which admittedly took what he thought was the greater part of a year -it was hard to gauge time down there-, it wasn't so bad. Kind of peaceful and relaxing. He'd mostly just kind of dozed his way through his guard duty, scaring the occasional fish away.
Then had come that one particularly tricky fish that wouldn't leave him alone. At least until it disappeared. Good riddance.
Or so he had thought until what he guessed to be a few months later when he suddenly found that he go somewhere else other than his little crystal shard cell.
Watching a woman cut the shard out of the belly of the stupid fish wasn't exactly the most pleasant sight to greet his first time out of water as a spirit... ew. Talk about fish guts.
But it had been interesting at least, to watch the commotion it'd caused.
Unfortunately, he'd been so distracted by the fish that he'd failed to realise that another fish had eaten a shard until later. Some protector of the Pandora shards he was.
It still worked out for the best. The first fish had eaten a larger shard, which had been turned into a ring. And he'd taken care of the little splinters and small particles that had been created when the jeweller had shaped the white jade for the ring. He still wasn't quite sure -how- the jade disappeared when he touched it or re-appeared when he joined the rest of the shards. It just did.
And as a result of it, Aoko, Akako and Saguru had figured things out, gathering the shards he was bound to. And since they now wore the shards, it meant that he was haunting them. Which was pretty darn cool, really. He could visit any of them at any time, which meant that he was stuck at school when they were all there -a kind of mixed blessing- and he could 'sleepover' at any of their houses when they weren't so active.
Although Aoko's sensitivity was both a plus and a minus. She slept better when he was around, but it also meant that she knew if he was there when she was bathing as well. Not that he was actually going to -spy- on her of course, it was just kind of fun to tease her...
It was just a bit of a pity that he couldn't talk to them. Well, he could, but they couldn't hear him. His ability to mimic voices that had been his trademark when he was alive was all but useless now. Leaving him with playing charades to get most messages across.
Which was a pity, really.
Because with Akako's talent to summon him where she wanted at will, he wasn't exactly sure how to pantomime 'If you don't stop putting me into silly stretchy pink leather outfits I will HURT you' in a concise enough fashion for her to comprehend it.
Not that she'd take the hint or anything...

Originally inspired by the idea of Hakuba holding up a vial given to him by Akako and muttering 'It's Pink.'.
Eh.
The really weird part was when we sat down to type and the radio chose that moment to play Aerosmith's "Pink". "I want to be your lover, I wanna wrap you in rubber..."
Mati, random Plunnie for you.
Kid goes on a heist for a rare and supposedly mystical jewel. Too bad he doesn't realise it's in the safe keeping of the Japanese clan of Gargoyles... ^^;; (hey, it's cannon...)

(trembles in terror)

Date: 2004-05-28 01:39 pm (UTC)However, adding pumpkin spice in the oatmeal cookies is pretty good. ^^
Hmm... what other kind of armourments would you add to jello?
Gummies?

Date: 2004-05-28 01:47 pm (UTC)Okay, just the thought of the SMELL of that is nausating...
Hmm... What about over-cooked skabetti noodles?
they work just as well on car paint as eggs do.

Date: 2004-05-28 05:38 pm (UTC)Although really all you need is some plain gelatin in with the Jell-O, but you'd have to watch the amounts. I still remember the school cook who gave us SOLID jell-o for April Fools.
sticky factor...

He's got enough bad influences right here at home.

Let the world beware, however.

Date: 2004-05-28 01:49 pm (UTC)So they can build weapons of mass destruction without parental supervison? *Grins*
Hmmmmmmmm..... **considers again**
Date: 2004-05-28 03:27 pm (UTC)One giant slingshot from the roof of a dorm, using surgical tubing
Two trebuchets, from which we shot TP, water balloons and stuffed animals as well as tennis balls
A small cannon (my first!) made from metal pipe, a garbage-can lid and firecrackers, cracked open with the gunpowder extracted
A larger cannon which shot tennis-balls only
A LARGER cannon which shot TP, occasionally on fire
A miniature grape-shooting catapult, for tabletop use (can also shoot cubes of cheese. Much fun at past SCA events)
Two leather slings for throwing tennis-balls
...and probably other stuff. But I've never built any weapons of mass distruction. Might be fun! How large is 'mass'? Would more than three persons count?
no subject
Date: 2004-05-28 03:38 pm (UTC)Oh, and as for the add-stuff-to-jello-for-Extra!Stickiness!, I wonder how hard it would be to insert an entire, shelled raw egg inside a jello-mass?
no subject
Date: 2004-05-28 04:11 pm (UTC)Hmm... put it in while the jell-o is still setting?
Wait... if jell-o is a water base, does that mean that maybe adding a coating of something oil in it to keep them seprarate?
One of the most disgusting jell-os I've ever eaten was wild berry blue, or some such (bright blue) with large shark gummies in it.
Have a sweet tooth, but not THAT sweet. The sharks had dissolved into the jell-o itself... talk about splattage...
Oi, we still on for tonight?

eggs! whee!
Date: 2004-05-28 07:53 pm (UTC)*cough* Anyway. Have fun plotting mayhem and everything! And (belated) happy birthday!
late addition to the scary plotting...
Date: 2004-05-28 04:33 pm (UTC)::grins::
...add glitter for additional annoyance ... the stuff is Hard to remove.
Or a coating of Modge Podge??? -- or is Jello too porous? I was thinking it would just help hold the jello together a little longer in flight...
More thought required. ::snickers::
"all the Kaitou's men"
Date: 2004-05-28 01:31 pm (UTC)Fortunately, my 5 other siblings took up the slack. *Big Grin*
Hmm... there's a thought...
Is Kaito better behaved because it's just him and his Mom, or do you think he's wilder than he would have been if his Dad had lived?
Re: "all the Kaitou's men"
Date: 2004-05-28 01:36 pm (UTC)Giving you, naturally, more than enough fodder for Kaitou?
Is Kaito better behaved because it's just him and his Mom, or do you think he's wilder than he would have been if his Dad had lived?
That's a good question. (ponders) He might conceivably have gotten worse, since dad probably would have had to present a more conservative image in order to keep his secret.
Re: "all the Kaitou's men"
Date: 2004-05-28 01:46 pm (UTC)Embarrassingly enough, becoming a Kaitou in RL... Will blanantly announce I'm stealing something before I do it. "I'm stealing your pineapple!" *swipes pineapple from someone's plate*
He might conceivably have gotten worse, since dad probably would have had to present a more conservative image in order to keep his secret.
Kid is calm and formal, so is okay for Kaito act wild and casual?
Wouldn't be surprised if he was better at different kinds of magics than his father too... hmm...
