6 • Kotetsu T. Kaburagi • [Action/Voice]

[wildkotetsu]

[The first sensation Kotetsu feels is pain: a headache, which is already pounding away at his temples; there's just darkness at the moment. He can feel that his eyes are closed, hearing an inhuman sigh--a lion?--and it's pretty weird because it sort of sounds like it's coming from himself. But that wouldn't make sense. It's a few minutes later that he feels his body twist and change, but he can't snap himself awake despite his mental efforts. When he finally cracks open his eyes, he's acutely aware something is really weird.

That is, he's laying on Barnaby's couch naked. With a collar hanging off his neck. With no memory of how he got there.

...

Oh my christ.

He leaps up in horror, throwing a blanket off him. For some reason, his balance is weird, because he feels like two legs just isn't enough; there's a crash as he collapses forward into the table, knocking his journal around--just a short, horrified sort of message is sent out in the process--]

What the hell--

Where are my cloth--

[Ooooouuurgh. He feels his stomach churn--must've been the food he last ate, not that he remembers, and he slaps a hand over his mouth, stumbling to his feet as he drags the blanket with him. In no time he's in the bathroom leaning over the toilet, retching the last remains of a particularly not!human meal. Just gonna... sit here for a second. Phewwwww.]

[Voice]

[Okay. Once things are all sorted out and these hangover symptoms of his experiment are settled, he finally realizes he accidentally sent out a voice message over the journals. Can't let it be just that, since... you know, he didn't want to worry anyone with terror. So he composes himself, itching his hairline in embarrassment. He's finally remembering bit by bit of his tiger experiences. Huh. Weird.]



Naa, I guess I... uh, was pretty weird these last two weeks. If you ran into a tiger, thanks a lot for keeping me company!

I hope I didn't cause anyone too much... trouble... 

[He's thinking of you specifically, Nami.

Aaand he groans, rubbing a hand across his face.]

I'm never eating meat again.

[Which is a total lie, but whatever. He'll be out and about if you want to meet him in person; the grocery store, to apologize for wrecking havoc on their deli while he's there, to the restaurant to get some real food in his stomach, and then maybe the orchard to make sure it's not... completely... ruined. :|]

[[ooc: replies will be delayed! Just wanted to get this up on the day it happens. :)b]

You owe me a mountain of lunch meat.

[Voice]

[wildkotetsu]

E-eheh... hey now, it's not like you had to give me all that food...

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

YOU WERE SLEEPING ON MY FRESHLY WASHED JACKET!

[Voice]

[needabourbon]

You were... that tiger?

[Voice]

[wildkotetsu]

[Ah! The guy with the cool goat beard!]

Sorry if I freaked you out, huh? I wasn't really expecting to be a cat that week; things... happen around here.

[Voice]

[needabourbon]

[That beard... looks like little Batman faces...]

No problem... I can understand weird crap happening around here--just wasn't expecting a tiger.

[... The moment Sanji spots you, he's gonna swerve on his heel and tiptoe in the direction of the kitchen - let someone else handle you]

[wildkotetsu]

[TARGET LOCKED.

STEER THE COURSE.]

Oiiiiii, Sanjiiiii!!

[Action]

[concasse]

Go away.

[mikangirl]

You dug up my orchard.

[wildkotetsu]

['///']

A-ah... right... [Oh yeah. You kicked him into the stratosphere over that, didn't you...] If it's still messed up, I can help with that!

[mikangirl]

Too late, now. Sanji-kun helped me put it back to rights a few days ago. I suppose at least you didn't do irreparable damage to the trees.

[She is not actually angry. But you know, appearances and all.]

[Voice] I swear I can read.

[lostinmyway]

[Yeah, uh, Grune doesn't exactly understand what happened, but she's gonna reply anyway.]

Hello, Kotetsu! I'm sure you didn't cause any trouble at all.

[Voice]

[wildkotetsu]

That's nice of you to say, Miss Grune, but... I think I kinda caused just a little.

[sob.]

I'm sure I can get it worked out, though!

[Voice]

[lostinmyway]

Do you need any help?

[ once again kotetsu's crashing around rouses him from sleep before he's ready to wake up but he's starting to grow accustomed to it. good thing he doesn't have a whole lot of things for tigertetsu to knock over.

grumbling and sighing, barnaby forces himself out of bed and throws on a pair or pajama pants, then snags the half-empty water glass from the bedside table and shambles out of his bedroom and down the hall and-- right there is kotetsu sitting on his bathroom floor

in a collar

naked

oops he dropped the glass. ]

[He drags the blanket closer to him flailing backwards, hands shooting up like he's on an episode of COPS.]

B-bunny, I can explain—!! I probably just had too much to drink—

action

[mindgooshed]

[ okay

OKAY

he's totally got this

and now he's shifting from shocked to annoyed in a matter of moments ]

[ voice ]

[rashness]

You were a tiger?!

[ voice ]

[wildkotetsu]

[uuurggggh]

Oi, oi, not so loud; my head is killing me.

[Voice] /creeps into this post...

[inkdrops]

[Oh, gods, that first half of the recording didn't sound very pleasant at all. Miyabi's just about to ask if Kotetsu was all right - he was such a nice person from the last time she spoke with him - but her train of thought derails completely at the mention of tigers.

What are priorities.]

You were that nice tiger, Mr. Kotetsu?!

[Voice]

[wildkotetsu]

[Mmmm... Familiar voice... :|a]

Ah-- Yeah! That was me. Sorry if I caused you any trouble...

Oi, wait a sec; you're Miyabi, right?
