23nd bomb || Hayato Gokudera || [in person]

[andsuddenlydynamite]

[Well Badficians, here's to hoping you all had a good sleep, because it's about to get abruptly interrupted this fine morning, by the distinctive shouting of everyone's favorite bomb brat]

BELPHEGOR YOU COCK-SUCKING SUNNVA BITCH! GIVE ME BACK MY FUCKING CLOTHES

[and anyone in the second class lodging halls would be hard pressed not to notice the soaking wet teen running down the halls full speed in nothing but a very tiny towel, and a stick of dynamite in hand. Yup, right out of the shower and the infamous "Prince the Ripper" up and ran off with his clothes. This is going to be a good week.]

[2/2]

[andsuddenlydynamite]

[and then he smiles. A big bright smile. Followed by him just laughing. He had been so worked up over the last few weeks, and now FINALLY some relief.]

Y-yeah!

[It was a lame-ass response, but he couldn't be bothered to think enough for a better one]

[deeplymeaningless]

[This friendship is still scary and messed up, but Ryuutaro feels better now as well]

Glad you think so, too.

[andsuddenlydynamite]

I should... probably get dressed.... shouldn't I?

[though... he doesn't want to just leave without Ryuutaro, after they had hopefully resolved everything.]

Then we can see exactly where we are... besides a boat.

[deeplymeaningless]

Yes, that you should.

[And now that things are cleared, he will let you]

I've seen a bit of it already, but not everything by far. It's impressive.

[andsuddenlydynamite]

[What, if they weren't cleared, were you just going to make him stand there naked in the halls?]

[Hayato starts walking towards the room he woke up in, for a nice change set of clothes... and dynamite of course. Smokes too, he needed one like it was nobodies business]

So you catch where this thing's headed? Could have something to do witht he next plot.

[deeplymeaningless]

[Yes. Yes. Let you freeze nakedly until you things get better. That was the plan]

[Ryuutaro walks next to him, still looking around in the halls curiously]

No, I don't have an idea of that. But I don't dare to hope it'll be something peaceful.

[andsuddenlydynamite]

Once I get dressed we can ask around, find the name of the ship, and maybe where it's goin'.

[And they come to Hayato's room. He walks in and grabs some clothes, and walks into the bathroom to change. Friggin' second class bathroom and it's lack of a shower... he was going to KILL Belphegor for this.

And in a few minutes and he's out... but not done. He goes to his closet and opens it, revealing an ungodly collection of dynamite (he got bored last week), and starts loading himself up. 110 sticks of dynamite he tucks away in total, with many different varieties and charges and even fuse lengths. Lastly he tucks a little switch blade in his pocket, he's learned that knives could be very useful during certain plots and wouldn't be caught without one. All ready to go he turns to Ryuutaro with a smile.]

Alright, let's get out of here.

[deeplymeaningless]

[Ryuutaro kind of feels the urge to stare at that dynamite, but then decides to just not think about it further. This was Hayato, what did he even expect? As he's finished Ryuutaro heads for the door again, smiling back]

Whenever you're ready.

[andsuddenlydynamite]

[And Hayato follows Ryuutaro out the door, and they head above deck. Hayato aggressively stops one of the passengers and asks where the ship is headed, to which the old man answers 'New York', then he continues on his merry way grumbling about Hayato's Attitude. Naturally Hayato gives no fucks, though he does seem pleasantly surprised this place isn't headed to some deathtrap...]

Well, New York ain't so bad.

[deeplymeaningless]

[Ryuutaro can't bring himself to believe in the good new just yet. New York.... if that actually was it, it should be mostly fine. Not that he ever had the desire to go to America, but still]

I hope that is actually is and we won't face more apocalypses there...

[andsuddenlydynamite]

[Hayato walks over to the rails and leans over the side of the ship, letting the wind just play with his hair. It was nice, his hair wasn't fully dry from his shower yet, so this would probably help.

He smiles and takes a deep breath of the ocean air... sort of reminded him of home.]

It's pretty cold.... wonder what time of year it's supposed to be here...

[Well it's not THAT cold... he's just cold intolerant..]

[deeplymeaningless]

[Ryuutaro really likes being up here and watching the see as well. It felt calming and good. Even though he could not leave the ship, this gave it a sense of freedom]

Hm? I don't think it's that bad.

[But they had already talked about temperature...]

[andsuddenlydynamite]

[He laughs]

You wouldn't.

[He casually leans over the side of the ship, maybe he can catch the name... of.. the..

oh god that didn't say what he thought it said...

did it?

He steps back and pinches the bridge of his nose shaking his head slightly]

Oi... Ryuutaro... can you tell me what the name on the side of the ship says?

[deeplymeaningless]

[Judging by Hayato's expression this can't be anything good. Ryuutaro leans over, just staring at it for a while.
As he looks at Hayato again his expression is blank]

I'd rather... not tell you. But that wouldn't help.

... titanic.

[andsuddenlydynamite]

[And Hayato just stares at Ryuutaro in a similar vacant yet displeased and totally priceless expression. It takes him a few moments before he talks]

Well... looks like we aren't goin' to New York after all...

[And another pause]

....Can you swim?

[deeplymeaningless]

[Ryuutaro nods slowly. Titanic... they should've expected it]

...I can.

[Not that he's trained in it or anything, because he refuses to wear swimming trunks, but still...]

I wonder how much time we have left...

[andsuddenlydynamite]

[Hayato thinks for a moment]

Well the Titanic sinks at night... so we should be fine until then at least. I can't remember the exact time it went down though... probably best if we stayed up at night and sleep during the day until we can figure it out.

[deeplymeaningless]

That's valuable information...

[Ryuutaro falls silent as well, sorting out his thoughts]

But the Author works on week-basis... it probably will not happen until a bit later this week, I suppose.

GDI Gokudera WAI SO NERD?

[andsuddenlydynamite]

Also brings into question if this is a one week plot, or two week plot... so if it's a two week plot it might lead into something else, like with the space ship plot... Gimme a sec... I can figure this out.

[Hayato turns around, leaning against the railing and lighting up a cigarette. He's silent for a moment, then starts muttering to himself. Occasionally he opens his eyes and looks up, working something out on his fingers, maybe scratches his head in irritation when he messes up. After a few minutes he seems to have mostly worked things out.]

Alright, I think I got this. Like I said the best bet is that this plot will lead to another... like a deserted island, or maybe something aquatic? Since it used to be fairly common for her to do so, but over time it's become more gradual and spaced out, following that pattern she should be due for something along those lines any week now. That would probably mean that the ship will sink from anytime between Friday to Monday. There's also the possibility this is a one week plot, which means that most likely she's going to sink of Friday, but Wednesday and Thursday are also still pretty risky. The last possibility is that this will be laid out like the zombie plot... which would mean that the ship would sink on Monday, but she's only done that once, so percentage-wise it is the least likely of the three. If I had some paper I could work out the exact numbers, I would have to get all the plots and their duration, as well as how they ended. If I can try to calculate a pattern... and then I can write out the-

[He pauses for a moment when he realizes how much of a nerd he's being he's rambling]

Ah... sorry, you probably don't give a shit about all the numbers and stuff....

BECAUSE IT'S AWESOME

[deeplymeaningless]

[Whoa, whoa, whoa. Ryuutaro doesn't think he's ever seen somebody analyze things like this - not outside of a beybattle at least.]

Ah, no, I'm honoured to be hearing your deep thoughts.

[Really, he does think it is awesome.]

VERY TRUE.

[andsuddenlydynamite]

[And his eyes go wide in surprise. Usually people just gave him weird looks or outright ignored him when he started in on his theories. The only time it was really appreciated was during a fight.]

S-seriously? Well percentages and chance aren't really my best subjects, so I would need to try and figure out the formula by hand instead of just doing it in my head...

[deeplymeaningless]

[Ryuutaro didn't know what about his appreciation was that shocking. In Beyblade-world it's a skill to be admired, even if this had nothing to do with blading]

It's amazing enough how far you get just in your head.

[andsuddenlydynamite]

[It's compliments Ryuutaro. Honest compliments that he is not used to getting. He knew he was smart, he just wasn't used to other people positively acknowledging it.]

ah.... it's nothin'. I'm just good at math and stuff I guess...

[deeplymeaningless]

[You know... actually this is what makes Ryuutaro like complimenting you. He likes those reactions a whole lot. And you're really lucky that he's actually being honest with you. He's not exactly known for it...

Oh, and also have a friendly fan-shush]

It's not nothing when I say otherwise.

[Ryuutaro doesn't like being objected after all. Not that this was a serious case. He chuckles a bit]

[andsuddenlydynamite]

[ohgodfan. He's just going to go cross-eyed for a moment, as usual.]

Well... I... um... it's not...

[Dammit Ryuutaro, you do this every single friggin' time...]

I guess... if... you say so....
