11th Inversion [Vine/Action]

[ritsu_kouyou]

[It's a bright, beautiful day in the Gardens. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, yet the Vine shows one very soaked Akiha Tohno. In fact, it seems to be raining on Akiha, plastering her white blouse to her torso (sadly she's flat as a board so it's not like it shows anything other than the lines of her camisole) and water drips off her hair. She's also, surprise, glaring at the mirror.]

If anyone needs me, I'll be out about the Gardens today and not at the mansion.


[For anyone looking for Akiha or just crossing paths with her, she's fairy easy to spot with the little black raincloud hanging over her everywhere she goes, constantly showering her with rain.]

[grandtheftmecha]

Yep.

[ Katina's the last person who will argue that point. ]

Akira's about a hundred times classier than I am, and yet here you are, not dumping me for her.

[ritsu_kouyou]

I tend to not throw away that which is mine.

...and don't use that term. Makes it sound like you're my girlfriend. I don't have one of those.

[tsun tsun tsun]

[grandtheftmecha]

Right. How about 'kick me to the curb' instead? Doesn't make it sound like we're attached or anything.

[ No seriously she wonders what to even call their relationship pretty often. ]

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Except she slightly tightens her grip a bit on Katina's arm. So contradictory at times, Akiha.]

There's no need to come up with a proper term as it's not something that will come to pass unless you really upset me. [pause] In the serious, offensive way. Not the normal way. Just to be clear.

[There is no accurate label for it.]

[grandtheftmecha]

God forbid I ever do something that bad.

[ She reaches up to run fingers through her own hair. Most people don't usually get to see it plastered down instead of popping up of its own accord. ]

So what is it that upsets you the normal way?

[ritsu_kouyou]

Stupidity, bad manners, ignorance, laziness, ignoring me, not listening to me, having to repeat myself, cats, flirting with someone that's mine, harming something that's mine...

The normal things.

[grandtheftmecha]

[ Katina ticks off the first, second, third, fifth, sixth, and seventh on her fingers. ]

Well... well the whole entire list doesn't apply to me. I'm not a cat, for one thing.

[ritsu_kouyou]

It also applies to bringing cats around me, acting like a cat or treating me like one.

[grandtheftmecha]

No catnip, no waving string at you, no meowing and pawing at you.

Got it.

[ritsu_kouyou]

Exactly. Just because you're a dog doesn't make me a cat you chase.

[grandtheftmecha]

Woof!

[ Katina gives Akiha's neck a lick. ]

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Akiha wasn't expecting that. Therefore, Katina is privy to a semi-girlish squeal and her bringing her shoulder up to block any additional licks.]

[grandtheftmecha]

[ She chuckles as she pulls away, wrapping both arms around Akiha again. ]

What, you said I'm a dog.

[ritsu_kouyou]

That wasn't an invitation for you to lick me. I'm wet enough!

[grandtheftmecha]

So it shouldn't matter! It's barely any difference.

[ritsu_kouyou]

It's undignified!

[grandtheftmecha]

Oh look, I already upset you. Puttin' myself in the doghouse so easily...

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Got that collar on? Cause Akiha's grabbing for it.]

You have a talent for it.

[grandtheftmecha]

[ And the rain better not tarnish it. ]

Haha, yeah. Nothing new for me though, honestly.

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Akiha made it perfect. There will be no tarnishing! She does tug on it a little.]

You're a glutton for punishment.

[grandtheftmecha]

Got me pegged there... at least when it's coming from the right person.

[ Yeep. She can't really pull back too hard on it either. ]

[ritsu_kouyou]

And I'm the right person.

[Statement - not a question.]

[grandtheftmecha]

You should feel special. If, you know, you don't already.

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Letting go of the collar, she'll turn a bit and play with some of Katina's hair.]

I don't feel special; I am special.

[She was also a monster, but she could be a special monster.]

[grandtheftmecha]

Very special.

[ That feels good, and she leans into it, doing the same to Akiha's hair. ]
