"This is stupid." The voice of the former blonde broke the silence that had followed them for most of their trip, his voice echoing within the long, empty stair hall. With only an old oil lamp to guide them through the darkness of the tower (because the nonexistent gods knew that Toshiro wasn't about to waste his flashlight's battery on one of KoKabuterimon's little adventures), the damn building had the sort of dark, creepy atmosphere that could put the chills on the average Joe. Toshiro found himself irritated everytime he stumbled unto a step due to not paying attention instead. KoKabuterimon didn't seem to even notice it was dark, most of the time walking so far ahead of his tamer he found himself slapping into a wall from the lack of lighting. Speaking of whom; Kokabuterimon kept walking undeterred by his partner's words, the single minded pursuit of his goals keeping him on track. "I don't care, that clock ain't working and it's pissing me off!" The giant beetle said heatedly, his next step resounding across the hall as he stomped in clear, (unjustified) annoyance. "Why do we care? I've got a watch. I've got a damn phone. We don't even live here." grumbled the human, rubbing at his neck. They had walked up quite a few flights of stairs, and he was beginning to actually work up a sweat. Stupid huge ass towers and their lack of damn elevators. "Hey, you don't know! Maybe we'll end up staying 'ere; Stars above know the human world ain't all that friendly these days!" He wasn't wrong about that, though Toshiro was sort of hoping they could change that soon, not just run away from it. "And anyway! We shouldn't need any of those things in a place with a clock so large you can see and read while half a kilometer outside the damn town!" And like that any validity flew out the window. "That is the least valid excuse to trespass upon a property I've ever heard." The human informed his partner bluntly. "Yeah? Well, deal with it. We are fixing this fucker up or my name isn't The fabulous KoKabuterimon." "Lucky me then." Said the human, his partner shooting him a dirty look in response. "You'll get us kicked out of town, you realize." His partner looked at him as if he had just said something stupid. Somehow, that was far more insulting than anything the beetle could have said. "Psh, you kidding? People will love us for this. Heck, I bet they are just too dumb to fix it themselves!" It was sad his partner wasn't self aware enough to notice the irony of his words. "And you think you are qualified to fix a giant, likely complex mechanism." questioned the former blonde with a quirked brow. "Me? I ain't fixing shit." The human's face was halfway through giving him an expecting gaze before the beetle interrupted him. "You are." "I'm sorry, my hearing must be failing me. Did you just suggest I know anything about engineering? Because, spoiler alert: I don't." He had a hypothesis regarding his partner's lack of memory on his life while in the digital world. Every time KoKabuterimon said something like this, he became more convinced that, indeed, it was blunt-force trauma-induced Amnesia. Also retardation. "You are a smart guy, I'm sure you'll figure something out." "That's not how this works." "It'll be once we are done." "It's like talking to a damn brick wall." "Thanks for noticing my solid build. Now less talking, more walking. The machinery chamber must be here somewhere." sopdet ● |
