[OPEN] Dog Wrestling

Who: Yamato and YOU
Where: Capricorn Ward - early evening
Format: Begins in prose, but I'll follow
Summary: Playing Training with Cerberus by fighting it with one's bare hands. Who's up for Demon Tangoing?
Warnings: Sharp claws and sharp teeth.

It had been a very long time since Yamato had last done this - probably not since he was in his earlier teens. Life had been too busy, his duties had taken precedence, and the Chief of JP's couldn't really risk being seen playing with his demonic familiar, after all. One had to maintain a certain image, even for the lower subordinates.

Now, however, he had no need to maintain image or even care about it. Yamato had reached rock bottom as far as his 'reputation' was concerned, and there was a bizarre sort of liberating feeling about it. He didn't have to care anymore, and after reuniting with his old time demonic familiar, Cerberus... well, if Yamato wanted to let off steam and relax by partaking in old plays, then he will!

Although, he made sure to do it in a somewhat deserted place - like the park in Hinoto-Ri. The sun was beginning to dip in the horizon, turning the sky into an indigo colour, and Yamato thought he was just out of sight from the main path. Hopefully anyway. His coat and phone was neatly set to the side, Cerberus - who nearly up to his shoulder in height - stretched and-

Well, they played. Playfighting was the best way to learn how to strengthen one's body through use of spiritual energy. The human body was weak, but it could be reinforced if one knew how to use their spiritual power in that way. Resist Physical - it was a natural ability of Yamato's by now. So there was no issue in wrestling his large, demonic familiar to the ground and initiating a round of playfighting. He trusted Cerberus not to use its claws or fangs too much.

Of course, if you're just walking through the park, as an average passerby, it would look like a man was in the middle of fighting for his life with a giant beast...

"Aw..." Well he sure sounded oddly disappointed. Not that it was a great thing to equip Yamato with more power (given how bonkers he went when they were trying to beat him back home), but.. well hey, it sure did come in handy against Mizar.

"That sucks. It probably would've come in handy in the future."

"...Yamato?"

Daichi was sort of used to Hotsuins spacing out and getting lost in thought by now, but that didn't mean he was any closer to being used to it. Though he just kind of looked at Cerberus curiously until Yamato finally came to, perking back to attention when Yamato tuned back in.

"Huh-- Really? You can get access to the Dragon Stream even here?"

"You mean besides the usual need for a lawyer?"

Ahaaaaa anyway--

"I mean... not much, really besides all the auction stuff. There wasn't exactly time to read up on a lot of demonology stuff.."
hetried: (Bleh ✰ seriously)

Give him a minute to process all of that, Yamato, he didn't expect a sudden infodump like that. Though thankfully this one seemed...pretty easy to follow. He hoped.

"So... like an anchor?" That was kinda want it sounded like. Hotsuins existed in this world, so the contract was still valid, right? "What could happen? I mean, I guess it'd be hard since we're not actually from this world? And the way the Dragon Stream acted back home was already pretty crazy..."
hetried: (Flip ✰ WHY IS THIS HAPPENING)

"Reassert...dominance?"

hang on give him a minute

"Wait-- You mean you have to beat it?!" Suddenly he looked like that was a much less cool idea than he had initially thought it would be. "Can you even beat something like that?! I mean we couldn't even beat Mizar without it...!"
hetried: (Glare ✰ wow yamato i'm gonna choke you)

"R-Right... Lugh..."

Daichi gulped slightly at the memory, a distant frown coming to his face. Of course, the actual events hadn't played out the worst case scenario-- she'd survived and triumphed, of course! But the thought of it possibly going wrong... well, he already spent one day worrying himself sick over it in the middle of an alien invasion, he didn't really wanna think about it again.

"S-So-- you have to do that here, with the Dragon Stream? How are you supposed to do that? Just think really hard?"

He was hoping he'd actually be able to lend a hand, buuuuut...

Daichi admittedly spaced out a moment watching Yamato's gesture-- a familiar gesture, but he couldn't quite remember where he'd seen it before...

Of course, the topic of conversation snapped him back to attention pretty quickly, and well-- it...certainly wasn't what he had been expecting. he was just a Tamer, not a Summoner after all--!

"S-Seriously...?" Needless to say, his face turns a bit pale at the thought of...sacrificing your own family to summon a weird magical entity. "D-Dude-- forget I asked! If that's the only way to do it, it's not even worth it."
hetried: (Agape ✰ oh my god what's wrong with the)

[personal profile] hetried 2013-04-14 10:25 am (UTC)(link)
"No, but-- dealing with something that you have to summon like that by yourself? I mean I guess you have Miyako here, but it sounds dangerous..."

Don't snort at him when he's trying to be concerned ok!! "Besides, how are you supposed to cheat something like...that it sounds like it'd be more dangerous than just doing it the right way!"
hetried: (Agape ✰ oh my god what's wrong with the)

[personal profile] hetried 2013-04-15 09:05 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah. They did make their own summoning app, didn't they? Guess he kinda forgot that part seeing as he went the whole week using Alcor's app.

"So... you can digitize communication with the Dragon Stream?" That... sort of sounded like what he was saying? Maybe? Possibly? He really had no idea and you could probably tell from the look on his face.

"Urgh... if you say so. Try not to get a city block killed, at least."

The sound he made next was something between a groan, and a scoff, and...maybe a bit of a sigh, we're not entirely sure what it was, but it sure sounded incredulous and exasperated.

Mostly because wow did you really just say "oh ye of little faith"

"You say that like it's a reassurance!"
hetried: (Bleh ✰ seriously)

[personal profile] hetried 2013-04-17 08:37 am (UTC)(link)
"Well yeah, but that doesn't really make it a bright side..."

The sad thing was he knew Yamato was being serious, and he realized they'd probably had some sort of conversation like this before.

He let out a small sigh in preemptive defeat. "Yeah yeah, I know, only the strong survive, all's fair, and all that..." Oh well. Sure wasn't gonna change his mind!
hetried: (Pffft ✰ stop calling me a pervert)

Daichi turned his attention back to Yamato's general appearance-- it was kind of funny, when he thought about it, but seeing as it was Yamato, it was at least pretty easy not to start laughing.

"Yeah, alright. Maybe try shopping for a new shirt while you're at it, unless you got a nice seamstress." OK, he allowed himself a little chuckle at that. "Try not to get yourself killed over it, OK?"
hetried: (Pride ✰ I CAN DRIVE)

You wouldn't expect it with most of them having one-note Japanese Video Game wardrobes

"If you end up getting killed again, I'm holding it against you in the next alternate universe," He added with a grin.

And hey, he even offered Cerberus a little wave, seeing as he was uh, kind of too afraid to actually give him a pat on the head like he would with a normal dog.
