Log;
( his phone feels like a lead weight in his pocket, weighing him down and reminding him of the current situation at hand. the current situation was that he was making his way over towards the fountain to find a person none other than the great beast, udou akira, for whatever poor reason he had in mind for calling him out here.

he said he wasn't here to stop him, but something like that doesn't seem like likely. of course he'd try to stop him, especially after agito had told him what was going down.

fuck. why was he agito's watch-dog anyway?

grumbling underneath his breath, he stops just right in front of the fountain and where akira stood. he looks him over once, eyes combing over his posture to figure out whether or not he should be expecting a fight. )

Right, so—

I'm here.

They can take important memories. You can ask for it so they're returned after a while, right? Like Kaito when he gave up his sight... Which would also work, sight or voice or something-- though I'd rather try to go with something that isn't so blatantly obvious at first.

And—?

( he taps his foot against the ground, clearly waiting for something. )

[superbeast]

And what?

[crowing]

You didn't answer the question. What do you have to trade?

[superbeast]

( his fists clenched, opened for a moment-- only to repeat the same process two more times. deep breath, exhale. )

...All my memories with Ren-fah. That's why it has to be temporary, else I'll go with any physical hindrances they want to throw my way.

[crowing]

All of them, huh?

( there's a slight shake to his head as he repeats akira's words out loud, completely incredulous. how could he do such a thing? jesus. )


Why that in particular?

[superbeast]

( well, he wasn't about to start being secretive now, all things considered. it takes him a few seconds, but he does find the words. )

They've always been what's most important. But being here... it's reinforced that Akito's just as important to me. So if I have to give up one for the other to make the trade equal and actually see him happy again, it's worth it.

( feels feels feels. )

What about you?

[crowing]

( there's a pointed look towards akira before he decides that's not really worth pursuing and he doesn't care that much about it anyway. )

I said you were part of the team, so—

I'll let you trade with me.

( then there's a pause. )

I'm giving up the memories of my childhood, of everything before I got my first pair of A-Ts.

[superbeast]

You weren't kidding about that?

( innocently, doing his best to appear surprised to hear about this still being on the team business-- which in some ways he was. )

That doesn't include basic skills you learned during childhood, does it?

[crowing]

I'll get them back. ( he says it like it excuses everything, like it is a viable reason for trading away the start of his life. although, he doesn't think akira referring to being on the team. obviously. who the hell would pass up such a chance? )

Nah. Personal memories only.

( a pause. )

C'mon, let's go get this over with. I know where to get this started.
