[That's got the exact exaggerated motion with her arms that you might've imagined, of course.
Though, she ends up dropping her arms part way when she realizes -]
... Um, Ibuki didn't have anything special in mind...
Caaaan you do demons or ghosts?
Or curses! Like trees weeping blood, or seven day curses, or...
Or guys with chainsaws! Have you ever watched the Texas Chainsaw Massacre!?
Slasher flicks are the best; Ibuki's so great at panicking, even better than the characters on screen!
[... What was she talking about?]
no subject
I can do all of that! [ Jesus, he sounds cheerful. With all of the glee. Finger steepling, claws clicking together. ] Frankly, I don't think I do enough of it! We should definitely start writing this down-- Let me see that! [ All rambunctious now, he snatches his book away, produces a pen out of NOWHERE and finds an empty-ish page to begin scrawling ideas on. ]
How about--... When people change, they get all kinds of crazy things! Did I tell you my legs melted off? Because I threw up on them?
[ ibuki probably cares ]
no subject
You melted off your own legs!? Like - with puke, or was it like a cobra? Can you draw that, too!?
Is that something all snakepeople do, or did you decide to just get rid of your legs on your own terms?
That seems like something Rohan-chan would do!
[She's going to lean over to see what he's writing, then, and she couldn't be more excited if she tried.
If she had a tail right now, it'd be wagging. Give it a week.]
Oh, oh; you said some monsters can get extra hands, right? Does that mean they get more arms?
Or can they get hands in weird places, like something from a psycho-thriller??
no subject
[ This is both good and very sad. Two giant nerds nerding out over gross shit and trying on jewelry. ]
I didn't choose to have my legs melt off. It was shortly after I came here last year-- [ AROUND THIS TIME MAYBE? ] I had an awful toothache and a stomachache that I couldn't get rid of. I figured that I would walk it off or find an apothecary to help. [ He begins to scribble in the book some more and oh look there's Rohan in all his sketchy glory spewing up something in a spray and his legs are already drawn like they are rotting away. ]
The next thing I knew, I was retching up all of this black stuff-- Like the kind you see in my jars at the shop. I had apparently begun to produce mass amounts of stomach contents. I don't... remember a whole lot because I blacked out but when I woke up they were necrotized and sewing themselves together in a grand knit of scales!
[ He THUMPS!! his tail to punctuate it.
Little too happy to be talking about trauma. ]
no subject
[But, of course, that's said with awe and admiration rather than any actual disgust. She's gonna lean even more to see that drawing of himself spewing everywhere, her eyes pretty much sparkling from both how fast he drew it and just how detailed it is.]
Rohan-chan's stomach turned against him!? That's so weird! That's so weird!
It's so weird, Ibuki's starting to repeat herself!!
Can you draw your legs turning into a tail, too!? Sewing themselves together, like you said!?
THIS ICON SENDS MIXED MESSAGES
[ Why don't we go back to talking about jewelry-- ]
Yes, yes, let me see here... [ He falls silent as he goes about his business just drawing a little panel of himself waking up to his legs woven in on themselves with a mess of scales that start to taper painfully at his knees and thighs which are sloughing off to the bone. ]
And goodness when Jotaro scales came in, I had to flay his skin off with a knife and my venom...!
1/2
But she does let out some sort of excited squeal, at least.]
This is the best...! The best!! Rohan-chan could be the Super High School Level Horror Illustrator, if he was high school age! And also went to Hope's Peak!
Why did you have to take off his skin? Was it not coming off on its own? Were the scales sticking through and acting like gross little pins!?
Ugugugu... just trying to imagine it is blowing Ibuki's mind...!!
no subject
Wait, wait... can...
Can you draw Ibuki as a snake!? You could do that, couldn't you!?
Rohan-chan's talents are SKY HIGH, so Ibuki's certain you could!
no subject
It wasn't coming off enough to accommodate how his scales were coming through. It was one set of skin converging with another... [ He blinks at her, eyelashes fluttering when she states what she wants. ]
Draw you as a naga? Let me... See...
[ Shutting one eye, he tries to visualize what he can-- it doesn't take long. What takes shape on the next page is indeed a snake. In black and white, he has to simulate any colors she might have. Blue and pink scales intermingled on a black backdrop of noodly body. With her mouth open, she bares fangs as long as one's fingers, curved and dropped down just as his do when he's upset. Her hair is still there but it has become almost sentient. It fans out and rises like a makeshift hood to accompany and amplify the glowing from her eyes and the radical, wide-armed and claws-out pose she is sporting. ]
What do you think of this?
[ it's sickening the house, fam. ]
no subject
But then again, he did just draw her as a giant snake monster.]
Nyahaaaaaa~!! It's perfect, it's perfect, it's perfect!!
You captured Ibuki's badassery perfectly in such a short amount of time...!
Even though it's in black and white, Ibuki can imagine all the colors perfect, too!
[Remember that hug from earlier?
THE HUG 2: THE HUGGENING.]
How? How!? It's like magic on paper!
You are seriously blowing Ibuki's mind over here...! She's getting all DOKIDOKI about this rad talent of Rohan-chan's!!
no subject
Careful-- [ He lets out an exasperated whine. ] Do you want it? [ As his tail slips around to tug at her skirt to cue her OFF OF HIM. TUG. ] If you would like to keep it, you can. If it brings you so much entertainment, I can't just let it fester in my book...
no subject
Because she wants to take the picture instead, nodding her head vigorously in excitement.]
Yeah, yeah! IdoIdoIdo!!
Ibuki has to show Sonia-chan and Hiyoko-chan, of course! And hang it up somewhere in my room!
But, but! It's not entertainment, it's joy! Ibuki will cherish her special Rohan-chan Original featurin herself for a really long time, y'know?
Stuff like this is really special...!
[Look, Ibuki doesn't get gifts often. She waaaants it.]
no subject
It makes me glad that you like it so much. [ she's not a KID but she acts like one. ] I don't do little commissions like these except for a handful of people. [ READ: The underground group of humans who have a monster fetish. ]
Don't get too grabby with them. You might find them to be less sentimental...
no subject
Case in point: she sticks out her tongue with a grumble when told to take it down a notch.
She's going to anyway, because Rohan is cool and doesn't seem like he'd be very fun when annoyed, but that doesn't mean she has to like it.
... Which mostly means being more still and talking a little quieter. A little.]
Less sentimental? No way - Ibuki treasures anything she gets from her friends, y'know?
Like these earrings! Ibuki's never gonna take them off! Except to, like, sleep and stuff.
But any other time, they're permanent attachments and should be considered part of Ibuki's unique style!
And likewise, Rohan-chan's artwork is gonna hang in Ibuki's room for as long as she's here. I'll write a note about it and everything!
If people come and go and lose memories so much, then Ibuki's gotta make sure she always remembers who it's from!
[Yeah, just straight up calls him her friend, whether he agrees or not. Sorry man, friendship ain't a two way street with Ibuki.]
no subject
Mm... [ He doesn't argue and just nods his head. ] That isn't a bad idea. I don't know if I have met anybody here who has lost any memories. I certainly hope I never do. [ Because there's one thing... ]
Memories are highly important to me. Myself and others. Back at home, I had a power that I no longer have here. [ WELL HE DOES BUT IT'S... NOT THE SAME AT ALL HERE. ] I have the ability to read the memories of any person I meet. I can read everything from their birth to the present. I can remove them if I feel like it to use as material for my writing but in all honesty I believe that memories are the most important things a person can have.
[ it's also a little inappropriate to mention the BODY HORROR THINGS his Stand can do. or that he would TAKE MEMORIES WITHOUT CONSENT. ]
I can't say that I have always been respectful in the past but they are things that I feel should be held very dear.
[ also at the moment right now he can trigger the most traumatic event in your lifetime and make it happen Live From This Room. ]
1/2
But hearing that, Ibuki goes... uncharacteristically quiet, listening to everything Rohan says and even staying silent for a couple of moments after.
Almost like she's being... serious.
She's taking this seriously.
It could be because he's talking about trespassing into someone else's memories. Or how he's mentioned stealing them from people for his own use.]
no subject
Well, y'know... Ibuki can't really feel the same about that. 'Cause she's so bad at remembering things...
If Ibuki doesn't write things down, she can completely forget what she planned on doing an entire day! It can be really fun; Ibuki makes a game of it, called "Will I Get There?"
I just leave the house and go wherever the wind takes me, and sometimes I end up somewhere real neato! Ibuki tried that here, and found a shop that sells fake monster parts!
... But, since memories are kind of fleeting, y'know, it means Ibuki doesn't need them that much, either. Sometimes there's stuff worth forgetting, anyway!
In Ibuki's honest and real opinion, it's better to live in the moment!
Aaaaaand, this is an important milestone for Rohan-chan, too! 'Cause Ibuki's apparently lost a lot of memories, and not just because she forgets things so easily!
[She'll just eek that in there at the end of what she's saying, yep.]
no subject
No, she's actually like this but it does a nice stunt. He appreciates this random 17-year old girl for what she is. Or what she appears to be. None of it seems fake. Her smile droops but his grows a little, eyelids falling slack. It's a real smile that only shows the beginnings of his teeth. His chin is resting on his hand it's like listening to Jotaro when he talks about something stupid or when he's playing him music. ]
There are things that are worth forgetting. They no longer apply to anything. And they likely won't ever apply here. You can make a new batch of them forever in any way you wish. If you need my drawings to document that, then by all means, Ibuki.
[ ER... mioda... ]
1/3 i am so sorry
Ibuki will deal with it as it comes!
[Specifically: if Mikan ever shows up here... how is she gonna deal with that? She has no idea.
But Ibuki really does appreciate him offering his drawings like that.
After all, she has a hard enough time remembering to write down things to remember!
Drawings from people who actually have working memories sound so much more useful.]
no subject
W-wait, wait - did Rohan-chan just say --
no subject
[Sorry if he was enjoying the sentimentality and realness there.
Her free hand - the one not holding his drawing - goes to her cheek, as she acts like he said something just... so inappropriate.]
Saying that so freely...! Are we really that close? Are we?
Do you really think we're close enough for something like that?
[Ibuki, he just used your first name. That's something literally everyone else in Ryslig does.]
no subject
It's pretty much like a reverse version of getting Deep with Jotaro where all words grind to a halt and just random noises and 'yeah' at varying spaces.
But uh... ]
... What are you talking about?
no subject
Oh, you know...! Don't be so shy about it, Rohan-chan!
It's better if you're upfront and proud about everything you say, even things like that!
[That's said as she waves a hand a little at him, an obvious "oh, you" type of gesture.]
Ibuki won't tell anyone, promise, promise! Gosh, to think she's so lucky, though...!!
no subject
I... [ He doesn't know a fucking thing, my dude. ]
I like to be upfront about things but I'm not quite sure what falls under "even things like that".
[ He is asking too much of her. ]
no subject
Ibuki thought we established that she's the one with the bad memory!
[Blush blush, wiggle wiggle, etc. It's like a scene out of some sort of shoujo manga--
But yeah, no, okay. She'll be nice.]
Rohan-chan used Ibuki's name...! Without a second thought!
So bold, so forward!
Not even Sonia-chan is on a first name basis with me, but Rohan-chan just did that so plainly...!!
[it's making her kokoro go DOKIDOKI
... And, actually, though she's definitely just harassing him, this feels kinda familiar.
There's definitely some other angry rich man she likes to hang off of, isn't there --]
