2nd Shadow/4th Punch [accidental voice]

[notsogrimreaper]

[There's silence for a few moments on the other end aside from a few rustling sounds, but Ryoji's voice is eventually heard, whispering harshly. He's clearly panicked about something, though without video, what has him so worried remains unknown.]

Minako-chan? Are you there? I know you know Akihiko-sempai well, so d-do you know how to calm him down? I had no idea he could be so rough-

[A deep voice abruptly cuts him off.]  C’mon, Ryoji. Quit messing around. After you get it down your throat the first time, you’ll get used to the taste!

[There's the sound of footsteps-not Ryoji's own, based on the way he gasps in surprise and... is he whimpering?-and then more shuffling as Ryoji attempts to end the transmission. He hopes Minako got the message... it was private, right?

Of course, Ryoji doesn't manage to stop recording, and the whole camp can now hear what he and the other person are up to.

Akihiko can be heard sighing.]  Hey, don’t look at me like that…  I’m not gonna chase you around the whole damn camp, you know.

[He pauses for a moment.]  Okay, I got it. Get down on your knees, and open your mouth.  You can close your eyes too, if you want.  I’ll take care of the rest.

Um... o-okay... just be careful.

[There's some more rustling sounds and footsteps, and then moments later, the rustling sounds quicken as Ryoji moves about. Something is in his mouth, and he's making muffled pleas in amongst his choking. He swallows part of it down, and then makes a breathless plea.]

S-Sempai, please-

H-Hold still, Ryoji…  Trust me, you need this…  Keep telling yourself that, and don’t spit it out.

[Akihiko's words seem to stop Ryoji's struggling, and he only chokes for a moment before he can be heard swallowing and gasping for air. He coughs a few times, and his voice sounds shaky.]

That tasted awful...

[Akihiko exhales in relief, sounding pleased as he encourages the junior.] You did it.  Good job. And don’t worry; you should stop feeling sore in a few hours.  Just be sure to take a hot shower when you get back to your cabin.

[It's at this point that Iris finally feels sorry for the traumatized campers listening in and ends the message.]

((Akihiko and Ryoji will both be responding to any tags. Not to worry guys, they didn't actually do anything terrible.))

.....

[Yeah, her mind instantly went there. She's just going to stare for a good moment while she tries to come up with an appropriate response.]

...how did...did you do it in the Zeus cabin?!

[Equally ambiguous, but come on now.]

[A sweaty, disheveled Ryoji answers, looking very relieved.]

Minako-chan! You got my message?

[And now he's confused.]

Huh? What do you mean? It didn't cut off?

[hasthepotential]

Ah...I think everyone got the message, actually...

[Wh...whoa, what a sight...Minako quickly flushes, but she tries to play it off casually.]

The only way to counter him is to over-power him...or out-run him...

[Weh...giving Ryoji advice on these things...what a backwards world she'd been revived into...;;;]

[He hears that familiar voice and freezes at first… until he remembers that Ryoji is right next to him, and he can’t make a scene.]

H-Hey, Minako. [Quiet, hesitant.] Oh, we’re not in Cabin 1 right now. It’s too tight in there. We need way more room than that.

[totheno1]

Are you trying to force-feed him medicine?

[What do you mean he was supposed to be assuming all the wrong things, he doesn't think like that.]

[notsogrimreaper]

I wish! He made me drink raw eggs!

[Ryoji is all too happy to ignore the innuendo, now that he's starting to catch on.]

[pheromonecoffee]

Use protection.

[He knows for a fact it isn't what it sounds like. This is his humor.]

[notsogrimreaper]

Protection-

[Waaaaaait a second, let him think about what he said to Akihiko...

...wait for it... keep waiting...]

That's not what happened!

[There we go.]

[emperor_with_no_groove]

[Blink.]

Protection? You mean, cook it next time?

[Yeah, that went right over his head.]

[gottabebrave]

....

Huh...!?

[Did she just hallucinate, or.]

S-senpai! What are you doing to Ryoji-kun!?

[emperor_with_no_groove]

Hey, Yukari. [Totally cool, like nothing’s out of the ordinary!] I fed him a couple of raw eggs. I know the taste takes some getting used to, but it’s good for him!

[notsogrimreaper]

He's torturing me, that's what he's doing!

[Sob sob. Save him, Yukari.]

[dragon_blossom]

[ ...there are chills up her spine and Umi quite suddenly realizes that even thinking like that says a lot.

Umi has watched anime and read manga and this is just... ...a misunderstanding? ]

Er... d-did you mean to... um... let everyone in on this?

[emperor_with_no_groove]

[What are you talking about – this isn’t an anime…

Akihiko’s left the area by this point, but he hears the sudden inquiry, and turns his attention back to the post.] No… I think it was an accident. Sorry if it bothered you.

[Just please don’t ask if he was trying to kill Ryoji.]

[notsogrimreaper]

...N-No, I didn't. I was only sending it to one other person, and it was supposed to cut off before Akihiko tried to feed me those eggs. It's not what it sounds like, okay?

[Yes, by this point, Ryoji knows just what went on, and is too mortified to really protest much.]

Action-sometime after the fiasco

[notsogrimreaper]

[Ryoji gave Akihiko a few hours to cool off. He was worried enough that he would have chased after him right then, but he knew that would have ended with him getting punched. Best to take some time, sort things out with the other campers, and then, once everything was taken care of, approach the Zeus cabin and poke his head in.]

Um... Akihiko-sempai? Are you there?

Action-time for more fiasco?

[emperor_with_no_groove]

[Akihiko’s voice came from the side.]

Ryoji?

[The boxer had a towel wrapped around his neck, which he used to wipe his sweaty face with. A few feet behind him stood a tree that had a punching bag dangled from one of the thick branches. Apparently, he was training. (Yet again.)

Akihiko ran a bare hand through his damp silver strands, and regarded the other teen with a curious look.] Yo. What’re you doing here?

[ JMKLSARUJAIDKMAS;LDFJALSK TH-THIS IS JUST WRONG?! after getting over her initial shock at this message, alex is suddenly speaking up in a loud voice— ]

D-Don't make him do anything he doesn't want to do—!

[ sobs sorry ryoji, akihiko — alex has Issues with this. ]

[ video ]

[emperor_with_no_groove]

Huh...?

[Sorry for freaking you out, Alex! we are so awful]

I'm not-! [But then again...] I-I mean...

[You know what, he's just gonna let Ryoji tell her, because enough people already think he's attacked him or something...]

[ video ]

[notsogrimreaper]

H-He didn't! I did want to do this! It's supposed to make me stronger.

The training, I mean.

[Because that's what they were doing. Not any of that 'wrong' stuff Alex was thinking.]

not here

[affluence]

[ what the heck is this.. She's definitely too embarrassed and awkward to reply to what was obviously meant to be a private message, but don't mind her if she has trouble looking either one of you hooligans in the eye for a while.

Who knows? Maybe she'll misunderstand forever. ]

not!here too

[emperor_with_no_groove]

[Your BFF was totally getting it on with Ryoji.

Or something like that.]

[orgiamode]

[...

Is that Ryoji?

Is that Ryoji in pain?

...

Should she accept this as a reliable form of Ryoji-torture? Cause she'll do it if she gets the chance to .]

Akihiko-san, what exactly are you doing to him?

[She sounds cold, aloof. She's definitely curious and definitely pissed off that this seems to be the Harbinger himself. But hey, if he's in pain, it's not a bad thing right?]

[emperor_with_no_groove]

[oh Aigis you have no idea… Everyone thinks Akihiko is trying to kill Ryoji, lalala~

By this point, Akihiko’s patience is a little worn. His response is muttered in a cool tone.] Feeding him raw eggs. [And just in case, he’ll preemptively throw this in too.] And no, he’s not gonna die.

video;

[notsogrimreaper]

...Aigis-san?

[Sorry, give him a second to swallow down that fear he feels at seeing a robot girl that is probably planning his death right now.]

He's feeding me raw eggs. They're supposed to be a source of protein. I need a lot of it for training.

[...He's getting stronger Aigis. The Harbinger is getting stronger. This probably isn't a good thing.]
