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.))

Ask Chiron, I guess. If there's a god of cooking somewhere they should have a kitchen for those kids.

[emperor_with_no_groove]

All right, I'll keep that in mind. In the meantime, we'll have the stuff in the dining hall to contend with. [He's not very fond of the food choices, but eh.]

[dragon_blossom]

Eh, the food could be worse, right? [ They have to feed them half-decent food if they're trying to make them into warriors, she's sure of it. ]

[emperor_with_no_groove]

[He smirks a little.] Yeah. Hell, a lot of things could be worse, but we have to make the best of it.

[And if he’s really gonna die next week, there are things he still needs to do, before that final end.]

By the way, you should learn how to survive in the wilderness. You never know, they might decide to dump us in the forest one day, to fend for ourselves. All the training’s meant to make us stronger.

[dragon_blossom]

Yeah, but I don't even know where to start, unless someone else here has that kind of experience.

[emperor_with_no_groove]

Really? [He quirks a brow at her.] Well, I can teach you some of the basics, if you wanna know. It won’t exactly be comfortable, but you just need to survive till you can reach some kinda civilization, or wait for a rescue.

[dragon_blossom]

The last time I was in the wilderness I had a magical puffball providing food. [ Also, it was God. Also, it was annoying. ]

Just enough to survive is plenty for me, I'm never going to be an expert at it.

[emperor_with_no_groove]

[Blank stare.] A… magical puffball…? Uh… I don’t think you’ll find one of those here… It might be convenient, though.

All right. Stop by Cabin 1 tomorrow, and I’ll have some info ready for ya.

[OOC: Wanna handwave their lesson? XD]

[dragon_blossom]

[ooc: yes let's]

There are strange things in the universes. Maybe the next one won't be a jerk.

[emperor_with_no_groove]

Heh, is that your opinion of the gods?

[dragon_blossom]

Of the puffball, actually, though it was a god too.

[emperor_with_no_groove]

…Oh. [Oops.] I guess that’s something they have in common, then.

[dragon_blossom]

Gods seem to have a pretty bad record in all honesty.

[emperor_with_no_groove]

Tch... This is why I don't pray to gods in general. I'd rather have control over my own destiny.

[dragon_blossom]

I've already had enough of playing a role in prophecy and destiny myself.
