Seriously Raul?

Sashi · Dec 30, 2015

You'd think a wind dragon would have better control over a skateboard.

Then again, it was not a matter of control; it was the matter of the rider being absolutely stupid. Raul didn't make smart decisions at times, and this was one of those times. He thought he could combine flight with skateboarding to pull off a bunch of ludicrous tricks only possible via magic. He wanted to show off his prowess and kick ass. Perhaps this could totally impress Liv! She digged skating and they frequently raced one another. Nevermind that it was winter and the weather was terrible skateboarding weather; he could master the elements and make them his--

Whoops he just ended up in a tree and hit his head. RIP.

The dragon could barely remember what happened; all he knew was that he clearly messed up somehow. How did he know? Well, his idea of advanced trick play did not end with a pounding headache and him stuck inside of a tree. He growled in frustration as the board fell out of the tree and crashed onto a branch. The skateboard snapped in half, and the halves landed on the ground. Great, just great. That was his second favorite skateboard! He sighed in frustration. His body was sprawled out, and his clothes were caught in various smaller branches.

Now how he was going to get out of this stupid tree?

Sometimes Audrey really didn't like winter. There were sad things about winter, both in general and personally. Other times, though, he could simply enjoy all the wonderful things about it. Cuddly people, falling snowflakes, warm fireplaces.

People doing completely ludicrous things.

Audrey was watching one of those people now. He was on top of a tree, intangible to keep from crashing through the much too thin branches, and just about nodding off for a nap when the tree suddenly shook and cracked and protested some mysterious assault.

Weird person crashed?

That was silly. Why would he crash? The ghost cat-boy drifted downwards, moving through concentration and mental effort rather than absently, and then perched properly on a branch above the suspended not-cat.

"Did you do that on purpose?"

The redheaded punk glanced up at the catboy. Something was off about the catboy; he didn't have a scent like a living person, but he definitely didn't have the scent of a zombie. His dragon nose is what allowed him to identify the boy as some kind of spirit or entity without a body. He didn't know if the cat was always like this or if he actually died, but he didn't really care. However, he was mildly alarmed for a moment. He didn't die and end up in some kind of tree hell right?! Thankfully he thought about it a little more before he said something stupid. No, he definitely wasn't dead. He survived through a lot worse of a beating thanks to Alex.

"Who da fuck would do dis on purpose?"

He tried to wiggle out of the tree, but he ended up getting himself more stuck somehow.

"Shit!"

He grumbled to himself. Maybe he should have had Tito come with him. Then again, what could a little puppy do in this situation? He thrashed about in the tree before glancing back up at Audrey.

"Who da fuck are ya anyway? Were ya watchin'?"

Audrey snickered at the weird formerly flying guy. This was great. So great. What was he going to do next? Would he fall or be able to climb out? Audrey could get out of a situation like that super easy. Infinitely easier than landing on his feet when he was paying attention~

well, mostly. Probably. That might be a bit of an exaggeration.

That was beside the point. The point, which was beside the exaggeration, was that watching this guy flail around was fun.

"Are you sure it wasn't on purpose? I mean, you're still there, so it doesn't really seem like an accident." Unless the guy was just that uncoordinated. Sure, Audrey sometimes forgot if he was tangible or not - that was beside the point again. Shh.

"I'm Audrey, and I both was watching and am watching," the kitten answered warmly, tail waving beneath his perch. He leaned forward a bit to better watch, then blinked.

He forgot about balance sometimes. It was very different balancing while tangible versus intangible. And now he was falling.

Nah, he just landed on the guy. Perfect landing, completely intentional.

Sashi · Dec 30, 2015

Raul grumbled even more.

"I was tryna do a cool skateboard trick, k?! It just...."

Suddenly the cat went from being on the branch to his head. This only served to make the wind dragon flail about more. Why did he have to get made fun of by a feline?! This was so not fair! He wanted to fight the cat one vs one in real life except that would solve absolutely nothing. He couldn't fight anyway while he was stuck in this tree. In all honesty, he couldn't fight regardless; he was never properly trained like his oldest brother.

"Audrey is it? Can ya get me outta here?!"

He would probably have a cheerier tone once he figured out how to get down from this stupid tree. For now, he was feeling pretty peeved and focused on his problem. Why did this have to happen? What did he do wrong?

Did he have to fight the tree in order to get free?

Oh hey he was on the stuck guy.

Shortly after observing that, and while the stuck guy was still yammering something involving Audrey's name, the catboy slowly started sinking down, abruptly and absently intangible, until he was staring Raul right in the face.

And, uh, occupying the same apparent physical space. Go ghosts?

"Out? I can do that."

Probably? Audrey sort of knew he could, and mostly how, but actually doing it was uh. Less predictable.

He floated back up, brow furrowed in concentration, and then carefully made himself tangible when he was above the weird stuck guy and not overlapping with him anywhere.

Then, as he began to fall, grabbed onto him and extended his ghostliness to the weird guy too. Hah, success-

... The ground was coming up rather fast oops.

...

...

Audrey floated back up and out of the ground, hands still clinging to Raul's shoulders, and grinned sheepishly. Sure he'd just ducked the guy through the ground for a few seconds but it wasn't like there'd been any sensation to it, much less physical damage.

Probably. Audrey had never lived as whatever this guy was, just as a cat.

Raul shivered as he came in contact with the ghost. Whoa whoa whoa, what the hell was he doing?! It was already cold; the cat didn't have to add to that! If he wanted to be frozen in a tree, then he'd go and piss off Liv! The dragon was alarmed by him being that close in proximity with him. Maybe if Audrey was a woman he'd be okay with it. He didn't mind a girl getting all up in his space — then again if Liv saw him with another chick in close quarters with him, she'd be beyond pissed off. He would be dead just like the kitty.

So Audrey could help him. Finally the scowl on Raul's face turned into a grin.

"Yes! Help a brotha out here!"

This confirmed the catboy's ghost status. He didn't care about why or how the ghost became a ghost; his thoughts were focused on the intangibility. If he could become intangible for a bit, then his body would just slip right through the branches! The dragon stopped thrashing about to let the kitten do his thing. He waited impatiently as nothing happened for a few moments. Suddenly he slipped right out of the branches like they weren't there. Success!

"HELL YEAH! Thanks Ca--"

Aaaand then he took a one way trip into the ground. He freaked out and screamed a bunch of incoherent nonsense as he tried to process what happened. Thankfully the ghost quickly fixed the situation, but the punk was still rambling obscenities as he went back to being physical. Once he realized that he was back to being tangible, he rubbed his face. That was an experience he'd rather not repeat ever again. It was too soon for the wind dragon to die; he was only a hundred and fifty years old!

"That was somethin'. Thanks Audrey. Oh, name's Raul."

He tried to shake off the mild fear from the quick ghost experience. That really spooked him quite a bit. He felt the weight of the cat's hands on his shoulders still. Somewhat awkward, but he could deal with it. Audrey did help him out after all. His clothes sustained minor damage from his tree collision. There was still the matter of the broken skateboard. Unfortunately he didn't think ghosts could fix skateboards. Not unless it was a mechanic. A mechanic ghost catboy. This island was straight up weird.

Audrey wasn't immediately sure if he should be entertained or offended by the weird not-flying guy's reaction. Sure, an unexpected trip through something solid could be... disconcerting, but was it really worth all that?

Eh, the kitten's goal was to be entertained, so if he had the choice of course he'd go with entertained over offended. His tail coiled and flexed as he floated backwards to watch, chin propped in his hands, and a grin stretched across his face.

And then, just because he could (and it happened to occur to him that he could, and therefore it was a good idea), he floated forward again and patted the guy's face.

"Raul? That's a weird name. It sounds like a food." He didn't look like a food, though, and even if he did Audrey didn't spend a whole lot of time eating. He didn't get hungry or anything.

Sashi · Jan 1, 2016

"What kinda food is Raul?"

The dragon actually sat there contemplating the varieties of food he knew. He couldn't think of any food that sounded remotely close to his name. While he would have been alarmed, there was no reason to be. A kitten was not going to eat a dragon. That was totally impossible. He wasn't that weak. That possibility didn't even come to mind anyway. The redhead scratched his head in confusion. He couldn't figure it out, so he pretty much gave up trying to make sense of it. Besides, now he was hungry. Thanks Audrey; you activated his monstrous appetite.

"Now I'm hungry....do ghosts get hungry? You're a ghost, right?"

No shit Raul, what else could he be, the Tooth Fairy? His eye twitched a bit at the patting. On one hand, he liked it because he found it amusing and cute. On the other hand, this was seriously hurting his street cred. He had to show his toughness; he couldn't melt at adorable kittens! His eyes shifted from Audrey to the broken skateboard then back to Audrey.

"I wonder if I can get da same look....totally sucks it broke."

Raul looked like he was thinking really hard. Was smoke or steam going to start coming out of his ears? Oooooh that would be silly. Audrey wanted to see that sooooo much.

He waited.

He watched.

And then Raul started talking instead, and the kitten let out a tremendous sigh. No whistling clouds to entertain him. That was sad. But Raul wanted to talk, so that was okay too. Audrey could talk and have conversations now. He purred briefly at the thought, and almost slid into negative territory, except then he didn't.

"I ammmm and I don't really. I'm glad, I don't like being hungry. Being hungry is bad." He nodded in agreement with himself, and then followed Raul's gaze to the broken skateboard. He poked it with a toe.

"Things breaking is silly and sad. Why'd you break it, huh?"
