The day after the log...

1

*Yuri -- and quite possibly anybody else in the apartments around the two -- will find themselves awoken by the most ungodly sounds of crashing and breaking things. Investigation quickly reveals the source in the apartment's kitchenette. The stove is broken, and the counter looks like a boulder crashed on it. And in the middle of it all, keeping his hands to himself? Kotetsu. Glowing blue like a bug zapper.*

...Hey, uh... what do you say we eat breakfast out today?

2

*And so, sometime after this little disaster -- with a now normal Kotetsu -- he's in a diner somewhere in town, a cup of coffee and a rather greasy breakfast in front of him, looking at his hands.*

Ah... I think I'm remembering now. Geez, what a way to remember that...

Did a rat scare some memories into you?

*Saleh slides onto a seat next to Kotetsu. He doesn't order anything, yet, as he's more interested in a response.*

*Pfft. Great. This tool again.*

Oi, at least I was doing things back there. You weren't lifting a damn finger until someone lit a match under your ass. What, did you want us to do all the work or something?

[identity profile] hystaria.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
The word "timing" must not mean anything to you.

There had been simply no need for me to step in until necessary. Or did you want to be thought as incompetent?

[identity profile] thekoistiger.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
No need?! Does the phrase "teamwork" mean anything to you? You shouldn't damn well need ANY sorta timing to help!

[identity profile] hystaria.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
That kind of recklessness is what gets people hurt.

*Oh, not that he cares.*

[identity profile] thekoistiger.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
And how much, exactly, do you care about people getting hurt anyhow?

[identity profile] hystaria.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
Hehe . . . Not at all, I admit. But you should consider what I said.

[identity profile] thekoistiger.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
Tch.

*He's not going to deny the bastard has a point. But he's not about to admit it out loud.*

I still say you could've been a bit more help.

[identity profile] hystaria.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
There's nothing I can do about what's passed.

*Moving on.*

So? Did another sentimental memory decide to grace your head?

[identity profile] thekoistiger.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
Heh. I think it's something even a heartless bastard like you could appreciate. I remembered I'm a NEXT.

[identity profile] hystaria.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
A next what?

*He's not an encyclopedia, Kotetsu.*

[identity profile] thekoistiger.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
That's "Noted Entities with eXtraordinary Talents" to you. I got my Hundred Power back.

[identity profile] hystaria.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
Does "Callegea" mean anything to you, Kotetsu?

[identity profile] hystaria.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
No, is it.

Then you're going to have to explain what the Hundred Power is.

[identity profile] thekoistiger.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
Heh. Simply put, I can make myself a hundred times stronger for five minutes. Pretty damn sweet, huh? Would've been damn useful back at that office building.

[identity profile] hystaria.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
*Saleh takes a quick moment to think the newly obtained information over. A NEXT, huh.*

. . . Yet, you're just a Huma.

[identity profile] thekoistiger.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
Don't you mean "human?" Anyway, so what if I am?

[identity profile] hystaria.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
Huma don't possess such powers by nature. Rather, it's the Gajuma that are born with "extraordinary talents," as you call them.

Understand?

[identity profile] thekoistiger.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
Look, this is all Greek to me, so obviously that's just where you come from. NEXT are all human where I come from. A little more superpowered, but that's it.

[identity profile] hystaria.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
Isn't that interesting. Though five minutes of burst strength seem a bit limited, don't you think?

[identity profile] thekoistiger.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, a lot can happen in five minutes.

[identity profile] hystaria.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, like how being run over by a battering ram would take mere seconds.

[identity profile] thekoistiger.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
You're a real pain in the ass, anybody ever tell you that?

[identity profile] hystaria.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 04:06 pm (UTC)(link)
*Not that he can recall, but if the way he'd arrived in Sirocco was any indication . . . *

I can surmise as much.

[Yuri stumbles into the kitchen with a pair of Tiger Claws on his hands]

What - serious what the hell - did you throw that rock at our kitchen?

Re: 1

[identity profile] thekoistiger.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
What? No! Why would I do something like that?!

*He thumps the dishwasher -- oh. We hope you didn't need that washer door. Or that washer. He yelps a bit and pulls away.*

Damnit, not again!

Re: 1

[identity profile] heybiteme.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
[He jabs a hand out]

Stop touching stuff! You're breaking everything!

Re: 1

[identity profile] thekoistiger.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
I know! Geez! You don't have to rub it in!

*He stares at his hands.*

It just kind of came to me this morning! I'm not even sure what the hell it IS yet!

Re: 1

[identity profile] heybiteme.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
It's a mess -...

Why am I wearing these?

Re: 1

[identity profile] thekoistiger.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
Er... new fashion statement? Why the hell would I know?

Re: 1

[identity profile] heybiteme.livejournal.com 2011-10-05 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
[His expression changes, as if hit by a flash of insight]

They're mine. Why would they put it on my hands while I'm sleeping is...

Re: 1

[identity profile] thekoistiger.livejournal.com 2011-10-05 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, maybe it's like my ring! You must've just gotten it back!

[Shirou in a diner is a rare sight. It's only happening right now because he hasn't remembered any cooking recipes.]

Eh? Did something happen?

Re: 2

[identity profile] thekoistiger.livejournal.com 2011-10-05 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
And how. Turns out I forgot I had powers. Go figure, huh?

[identity profile] thekoistiger.livejournal.com 2011-10-05 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
Yep! It's a really cool one, too! I can make myself a hundred times stronger for five minutes!

[identity profile] wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com 2011-10-05 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
Wait, really?

...Just for five minutes at a time?

[identity profile] thekoistiger.livejournal.com 2011-10-05 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, it's got its uses! Besides, if I could do it all the time there'd be no point in turning it off, would there? It'd be kind of unfair to everybody else.

[identity profile] wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com 2011-10-05 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure. Could you do something like wash dishes with it active?

[identity profile] thekoistiger.livejournal.com 2011-10-05 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
It's DOABLE, just requires a real delicate touch. Not exactly something I've tried before, you know?

[identity profile] wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com 2011-10-05 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
Are you sure? You could have and just haven't remembered it yet.

[identity profile] thekoistiger.livejournal.com 2011-10-05 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, logically speaking here -- I've got five minutes of super strength. You really think I'm gonna use it washing the dishes?

[identity profile] thekoistiger.livejournal.com 2011-10-05 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
Anyway, sometimes five minutes is all you need, you know?

[identity profile] wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com 2011-10-05 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
You think so? It doesn't sound like that much to me.

[identity profile] thekoistiger.livejournal.com 2011-10-05 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
Then it just means you've gotta finish things as much as you can in those five minutes, know what I'm saying? Chances are if you're in a situation where you need something like that, time's kind of a premium anyway.

[identity profile] wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com 2011-10-05 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
Yea, maybe so, now that you point it out.
