THEY SEE ME ROLLIN', THEY HATIN'—

[naturallywavy]

CHARACTERS: Gintoki Sakata naturallywavy and whoever!

DATE: December 14th.

WARNINGS: this is a Gintoki log.

SUMMARY: Mostly scooter related, but some other things too: a SOL hell post.

( 1. ) SCOOTER HELL #1

<sub>[ After all the care and attention he had been given from all of these model citizens (seriously, you know who you are— and who do you think you even are anyway?), Gintoki is up and running to his healthiest. He had received once he had gotten out of jail a personal item from home and hasn't been using it except recently because he's in better condition to.

People might have seen the strange, silver "horse" as some described it, buzzing between the two divided parts of the city. Though, people in the goblin's side might catch a better glimpse of it. The horse in question is usually seen as a beacon of silver light before somebody can fully see it in the lantern lights that decorate the city.

Maybe you sent Gintoki on a task to retrieve something for you, such as an item from the market (specifically if you're on the goblin side and want something from the human side, fugitives!) or maybe he's just stopping by for a visit— you decide! It's completely up to you (remember, he's a freelancer who will do any task for money), but he stops his scooter near you. ]</sub>

Yo.

_{[ He's running late, for whatever it is we're doing, but you don't even get an apology. There's a sucker in his mouth and he pulls it out when he shows up— that probably wasn't safe to eat while you're driving, but w/e. ]}

( 2. ) SCOOTER HELL #2

<sub>[ Maybe it's the other way around— you don't need him, he needs you! Especially if you're somebody he's had CR with. He's talked about something really important that he needs to show you and doesn't go into description about it, but he's asking you to wait outside of the inn you're staying in— human or goblin inn, it doesn't matter.
And again, here he is, pulling up in his mo-ped like he is the absolute shit. It's a bit of a nerve wrecking stop as he spins the scooter, making it come to a stop by breaking and allowing it to skid to the side. Wow, look how cool it is! Maybe he was trying to accommodate for how small he was down there.

Once he has stopped there is a long silence as the dust he stirs up has settled. He removes his helmet. ]</sub>

It's cool, isn't it?
_{[ yeah this..... was all he wanted to show you. You came outside for this. ]}

( 3. ) OUTSKIRTS

No, this isn't what I'm looking for either. Do you have something that is like this, oi, pay attention— It's like this— _{[ Gintoki is having at it with a goblin vendor who is selling some articles of clothing on the streets. He's aggressively gesturing to his yukata, scooter neatly parked off to the side. ]}

White and blue— where I have have one arm out. I don't want two sleeves. I want just one sleeve. Do you have just one sleeve..!?
<sub>[ he goblin seems a bit frustrated at this and pulls out another article of clothing that looks nothing like what he's wanting (which is the exact same thing he is wearing). It's just.. it's a little stained, even after Alice washed it, with blood and has a few tears in it.

Gintoki grits his teeth, beginning to lose his patience as well. The goblin pulls out what appears to be a dress next, which is indeed, white and blue— but it's a dress. ]</sub>

What the hell is that..!? WHAT KIND OF PERSON ARE YOU TAKING ME FOR..!?
_{[ break up this argument? watch in awe? I'm not sure, but things could get violent if you just sit back and watch. ]}

Comments

[headlining]

Obviously, you're just jealous because your hair makes you look a hundred years older than you really are! Actually, how old are you? Ten?

[He lets out a laugh, returning the favor for Gin. They look seconds from beating each other up. The poor goblin vendor just is trying to ignore all of this now.]

Come now, you...whatever your name is. Are you really going to get in a hissy fit about my appearance? Really?

[naturallywavy]

SHUT UP ABOUT MY HAIR!!
_{[ Gintoki, you started it? ]}






Of course I am! It makes me angry!

[headlining]

[Letting out the MOST FRUSTRATED SIGH.]

Get yourself a blindfold, then, if you don't like staring at me! It's not like I can become invisible, you know?

[naturallywavy]

<sub>[ Gintoki eases back, finally letting him go and lets out an irritated huff himself, not daring to look at Keats in the face again.
Gintoki, please. Keats did nothing wrong. Like.. ever.



Maybe. ]</sub>

Don't stand in the same scene with me again, you— .... whatever your name is. That's all I ask.
_{[ same scene, tho. ]}

[headlining]

Same scene? This isn't some play.

[He reaches up to adjust his tie with a hand, frowning at Gintoki like it wasn't im who came up to the man and started harassing him in the first place.]

And it's Keats. Though I'm not sure you'll remember that.

[naturallywavy]

I won't. <sub>[ he won't. Gintamas are really bad with names. He won't bother with his name, though he said it informally: Gin-san. ]

[ a pause ]</sub>

What's that supposed to mean?
_{[ even tho he just admitted to it.. ok.. ]}

[headlining]

[He shrugs.]

Nothing. You just don't seem like the type of man to keep things in his head for too long.

[naturallywavy]

You don't seem like the type of man who is memorable for too long, anyway.

[headlining]

[He's not even going to take that as an insult. He lets out a laugh.]

Maybe that's the point. Journalists are rarely the focus of any story they report on.

[naturallywavy]

_{[ He sticks a finger in his ear, picking at it. ]}
They're rarely the focus of any date they get to bag either.

_{[ by now, Goblin-san has moved on. Forget these dudes, he's going on lunch. Gintoki has lost interest as well and actually begins to continue along his way of shopping. Whatever. ]}

Don't interrupt crap I do.

[headlining]

You say that like I care about dates at all.

[He really doesn't. Romance isn't on his mind at any given time, period. He has better things to think about.]

[He turns away himself, though he can't help but try to get in the last word.]

Next time, don't be so loud, and maybe I won't interrupt.

[naturallywavy]

Next time, don't listen to me, and maybe you won't hear me being loud, and you won't interrupt.
<sub>[ Gintoki wants to get the last word in as they both continue to walk away .. ?

??????? ]</sub>

[headlining]

Ah, but how can I do that, if your voice is so loud? I'd have to buy earplugs!

[JUST LEAVE, YOU IDIOT]

[naturallywavy]

I CAN EASILY RIP YOUR EARS OFF IF YOU DON'T LIKE HEARING IT.
<sub>[ still walking.. but we're yelling ???
further and further away...

in the arms of an angeeeel... ]</sub>

[headlining]

Haha, I think I'll take a rain check for that!

[KEATS JUST GO. LEAVE. VAMOOSE. GO TO WHATEVER HIDEY HOLE YOU CAME FROM.]
