 Jinn is standing in an empty lot with a half destroyed fence in it. No, he didn't break the fence, it was already broken, god.

There's a pile of empty cans with holes through them around the fence and he's setting an unpunctured can on top of the fence and walking back to a line he drew in the dirt.

[beastkingnaoma]

"Give me a while more to practice."

[memoryistime]

Why.

[beastkingnaoma]

"Cause I don't have this perfected yet."

He snaps a ball bearing with his thumb through the can he set on the fence.

[memoryistime]

... And why should I care about waiting, huh?

*slowly takes out their deck, shuffling through it.*

[beastkingnaoma]

"You know if you exhaust yourself and fail, which you will, I just have to carry you."

[memoryistime]

... That's why I'm doing a level 6 instead of a 7 or an 8.

I'm perfectly capable of walking even after that.

[beastkingnaoma]

"It isn't gonna work."

[memoryistime]

Why the hell not? Crows worked well against you.

[beastkingnaoma]

"That was before I learned how to see in math.

Also I was sort of afraid hurting them would cause a psychic backlash and kill you."

[memoryistime]

... Hurting them does cause some backlash but I don't. Think. It'd cause that.

The last time my existence was in danger of being snuffed out was when my energy was actually being drained, so.

[beastkingnaoma]

"Well that's why I didn't really fight back."

[memoryistime]

... And would you fight back knowing I'd still get a backlash?

[beastkingnaoma]

"...Indirectly."

[memoryistime]

What the hell does that mean, "indirectly"?

[beastkingnaoma]

"That'll be a surprise if you don't take my gingerly warning."

[memoryistime]

... Uh-huh.

*and then D.D. Crows appear out of nowhere and dive bomb you anyway. Playing it smarter at least than the Sirius!*

[beastkingnaoma]

Jinn drops so low that he's nearly parallel to the ground, the sprints towards Shian.

[memoryistime]

*what what what runs back, trying to find a different card to protect them by, the crows following Jinn.*

[beastkingnaoma]

Jinn just bolts and attempts to scoop Shian up over their shoulder.

[memoryistime]

*just about yelps as they're scooped up, flailing, as the D.D. Crows static and freeze*

He-- HEY! LET ME DOWN!

[beastkingnaoma]

"Nope."

He keeps running.

"If I do that you'll summon something else. If I do this, even if you summon something you won't be close enough to it for it to get energy from you."

[memoryistime]

Wha-- that makes no sense! Idiot! Idiot!!

*keeps struggling, hitting at you as much as they can*

[beastkingnaoma]

"WELL IT'S WORKING ISN'T IT."

[memoryistime]

Only because I can't concentrate with you jostling me around like that, gaah!

*tries to focus to have the crows go after your head at least, which results in some minor success in having them at least dive at you*

[beastkingnaoma]

"Oh. Thanks for telling me that."

He jostles you further, Shian.
