Oh my god Kaine

Ritsuka isn't here, but someone, somewhere, appears to approve.

Except for the tentacle. That little bastard is still watching his every move with its many, many eyes.

From:

markofkaine

[I SENSE YOU JUDGING ME]

Zip it, you little bastard. I don't see you doing anything useful.

From:

fujimaru

It waves at him. It feels like someone has just flipped him the bird.

From:

markofkaine

Okay, that's it. C'mere...

[he may have been talked out of destroying it, but he's definitely going to try and PETTILY TIP IT OFF THE SHELF]

From:

fujimaru

It doesn't have a mouth, so it can't do anything like squeal protest, but it does try and scrabble at the shelf, trying not to fall off...

...which means that as it struggles, something gold falls off the shelf instead. Apparently, the tentacles were sitting on top of it?

From:

markofkaine

[What the

his reflexes kick in, and he immediately grabs the gold object. forget you, tentacles. you can struggle Lion King style.]

From:

fujimaru

It wraps around his wrist, struggling furiously. It's definitely very strong for its small size, definitely strong enough to leave bruises.

The thing he catches is a plain gold ring, heavy for its size, unadorned.

From:

markofkaine

[man fuck you tentacle. kaine's no stranger to bruises, at least.]

Hey. What is this thing? Were you hiding it?

From:

fujimaru

It wiggles harder, which is like, it's a tossup between "guilty" and "angry" in its movements, so you know.

From:

markofkaine

YOU WERE.

Then it's gotta be important somehow.

From:

fujimaru

It smacks him, and this time, he can feel it draw blood. Apparently, while it has no mouth, those eyes are actually pretty sharp when they need to be.

From:

markofkaine

[WRENCHING YOU OFF HIS WRIST AND THROWING HIM BACK ON THE SHELF. FUCK YOU I'M OUTIE]

From:

messianic

[ well we were having a conversation but this is also fine.

Minato is immediately going to try to a) rescue tentacle creature and b) save Kaine's poor wrist at the same time

even if this means, like, offering his own arms as tribute, this is fine, he's just gunning to scoop it up. ]

From:

markofkaine

[MAYBE THE TENTACLE SHOULDN'T HAVE FLIPPED IT OFF]

Hey, Minato. That piece of shit was sitting on this thing.

[holds up the plain gold ring for him to see]

From:

messianic

[ this is true honestly. Minato may or may not be trying to wrangle the tentacle figurine, but he does peer at the ring.

Oooh...?? ]

I'm sure he had a good reason... [ maybe. ]

But that seems pretty important. We should bring it with us for sure. Nice job finding that.

From:

markofkaine

The thing missing from the podium, it was made out of rings, right?

Maybe this is-- symbolic or something.

From:

messianic

Right, yeah, you might be onto something there. It's definitely worth a try... let's see if we can bring it back there with us.

Is your arm okay, by the way?
