[008: Action]

[techno-logical.livejournal.com]

[Today is April's birthday, and while April has never even really celebrated her birthday before, she thought that after that whole 'fighting with your doubles and face your issues' thing, it would be nice to have a bit of fun. So, she decides to buy one new dress for herself (since it's thick enough to protect against the cold), and also decides to buy this thing called a 'kite'. It had caught her eye when she was walking past the store and after asking the store owner about it, it sounded like it could be fun.

So, she's found a large-ish open area in the park and is now trying to fly the kite. 'Try' being the keyword here since she manages to keep it in the air for a while before it crashes into a nearby tree... o-or into anybody nearby. So if you're in the park today and see a kite crash land into a tree or get whacked in the back of the head by a kite, the sheepish looking redhead is the reason behind it.]

[...Ah. Ledah approaches.]

Not having luck?

[She shakes her head, and gives a few tugs on the string to bring the kite back to her. Though it seems to want to stay in the tree, prompting a small sigh from her.]

Not really, but I'm hoping I can get better with practice... But at least I can get it to fly for a bit before it crashes.

[gaveupfeeling.livejournal.com]

That's an improvement. Good luck.

[techno-logical.livejournal.com]

Ehe, thanks. I think the next time I do this, I should go somewhere that doesn't have trees.

... Ah, I'll be back in a sec. [Brb just gonna climb the tree to get the kite down.]

[Years of living with annoying brothers has given him an almost sixth sense that something is about to impact the back of his head. He ducks and then turns to follow the string to find the culprit.]

What the...?

[techno-logical.livejournal.com]

[April will just walk over with an apologetic expression.]

Ah, I'm sorry about that! I didn't mean for it to- um, d-did it hit you? I'm really sorry!

[namedforcat.livejournal.com]

[Gaignun just shakes his head] Don't worry, it didn't hit me, it's quite alright.

[He looks down at the lethal missile] Kites are rather temperamental creatures, aren't they.

[KITE IN THE FACE]

[what is a good luck stat]

[they must be nice things to have]

[techno-logical.livejournal.com]

[WHOOPS.

Cue one apologetic and flaily derp walking over.]

Oh god, I'm so sorry! A-are you okay? I'm really, really sorry!

[croibhristeoir]

F-fine--!

[OW MY NOSE]

[Miki while wandering around town watches April trying to fly the kite.]

Wow, I haven't seen anyone fly a kite in a long time. I thought that they were able to stay up longer though.

[techno-logical.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm not too good at this. I'll get better with practice though. [And she gives a small sigh when the kite seems to want to stay in the tree.]

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

[Miki giggles a bit at April's misfortune then goes over to help her untangle the kite.]

Well the secret is you gotta run really fast to get it going.

[ There's now a younger girl perched on a tree branch watching her.. almost as though she were a wolf. A wolf in a tree. Don't ask. ]

No good, no good at all.

[techno-logical.livejournal.com]

[Well that's... different. But April won't question it, and just gives a small sigh in reply.]

Y-yeah, I'm not good at this. Hopefully I'll do better after some practice.

[chastehuntress.livejournal.com]

It seems to be a silly sport.

[ Another unsatisfactory comment. At least she's honest. ]

[You might think Lancer'll get beaned in the head by the kite. Terrible luck and general misfortune, right?]

[Nope. He's too busy, mere moments before collision, getting tackled to the ground by an enormous brown dog. (http://i41.tinypic.com/30xadk2.jpg) Said dog, well over two feet tall at the shoulder, looks immensely pleased with itself and drops a tennis ball in his face, barking contentedly before looking up at April and wagging it's tail.]

Yeah, yeah. You caught the ball. Now move so you can give it another chase... eh?

[He spots the kite string, and follows it to the source. There's a Newfoundland and a Murderhound looking at you curiously now, April. The latter doing so upside-down.]

[techno-logical.livejournal.com]

[She takes a moment to suppress her urge to squee at the dog, and instead gives them both a sheepish look.]

Oh, um, s-sorry.

[action]

[athngabla.livejournal.com]

Sorry...? What, for this guy? He's just a bit excitable.

[He reaches for the ball, findign it rolled just out of reach.]

...Say, would you mind either tossing me that ball, or lobbing it off as far as you can?

[rocker]

[ LUCK A STAT SAVES THE DAY. Aka the kite flies just past his head, landing on the ground. It's enough to make him turn though, and he understands the situation when he sees April looking sheepish in the distance.

Luckily David is nice enough to just pick up the kite so he can walk over and give it back to her. ]

... Having some trouble?

[techno-logical.livejournal.com]

[She still continues to looks sheepish when he gives the kite back to her, and she gives him a small nod.]

Thanks. And y-yeah, I'm just not any good at controlling it yet.

[rocker]

[ He's not exactly smiling - his kindness is a more distant variety - but he still doesn't seem to mind at all. ]

It does seem like a rather difficult task. [ ... ] Did you only just start practicing?

[Saori was in the park, checking up on a tiny white kitten she found one day. It was still shy around her but she persisted. This time she brought over a treat for the animal. She had gotten it to take food from her hand when the kite decided to smack her in the head. Frightened the kitten ran into the bushes to hide. Saori picked up the kite and looked around for its owner.]

[techno-logical.livejournal.com]

[Said owner is looking a apologetic and a bit flustered.]

Ah, I'm so sorry! I didn't meant to hit you! I'm really sorry!

[needsteaplz.livejournal.com]

[She laughs and gives the kite back.]

It's alright. I'm not bleeding or anything, so it's good. Don't worry about it. First try at kite-flying I take it?
