[There's been a series of deep, rumbling bangs and tremors echoing from one part of town today, and the skyline in that direction's looking a little sparser than it did the day before. And-- that building suddenly lurching then crumbling downwards in a blaze of pale blue prrrrrobably isn't anything to worry about, right?

If you go to investigate you'll finHOLY CRAP BRS just blasted a building to pieces in front of you look OUT]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh—!! [ ]

--Mato! Why are you--?!

[starsigil.livejournal.com]

WhyamI? [ ] I'm not the one blowing up buildings!!

[stars_struck]

That's-- [gives up and grits her teeth, giving chase fast enough to gain ground; the next couple of masonry chunks coming Mato's way explode into a shower of dust several feet upwards]

This sort of thing happens way too often...

[stars_struck]

[exhales a breath, and actually looks tired, slumping to a sitting position and rubbing uselessly at her now rather dusty self]

... y-you really worried me, showing up all of a sudden...

[starsigil.livejournal.com]

All of a sudden? No way! I cycle this way every day.

[stars_struck]

All of a sudden as I'm blowing up buildings.

[starsigil.livejournal.com]

Right. What's up with that... ?

[stars_struck]

[h-hauls herself up, looking Mato over for injuries while she hesitates]

... it's. A job.

[starsigil.livejournal.com]

What kind of job expects you to kill your little sister figure!?

[stars_struck]

... ... I wasn't trying to--... I'm a demolition worker.

[starsigil.livejournal.com]

... even I know that you're supposed to put up a sign! And make sure that nobody can get close!

[stars_struck]

... but it's much faster if I just take down the building...

[starsigil.livejournal.com]

I should've figured it out sooner. You just wanted me out of the picture!!

[stars_struck]

I didn't know you came this way! I've been working here all day.

[starsigil.livejournal.com]

That's the worst alibi I've ever heard!

[stars_struck]

[frowns at her, not spotting anything]

... are you okay? Did you get hurt?

[starsigil.livejournal.com]

Just emotionally.

[stars_struck]

... ...

I'll buy you things to make up for it.

[starsigil.livejournal.com]

I want a new sister.

[stars_struck]

[clams up for a long pause]

... I'm really sorry.

[starsigil.livejournal.com]

And pancakes.

[stars_struck]

... a-and pancakes. Am I going to have to learn how to cook...?

[starsigil.livejournal.com]

What!? Don't be so cheap! I want them from a restaurant.
