[It had actually been a few days since he'd come back to Luceti. After his initial rage, he had just decided to stay out of the way. He didn't want to talk to anyone, didn't want to deal with anyone...

But that, of course, wasn't going to last forever. He couldn't get things he needed without going in public, which meant running into people he didn't want to run into.

Ion in a wheelchair, though...that was something he didn't expect to see. There was a moment of "was it really him?" But it was completely impossible to mistake Ion for someone else; because really. He was him, in a way. Brothers, a twisted idea for a family, whatever.

He was quiet, when he approached him though. Ion seemed to be minding his own business--it would be so easy to do. And the temptation was pretty much overwhelming. How could he pass this up, when the opportunity was right there, as if handed to him on a silver platter?

Hopefully he just won't get grounded this time. ~~YOLO!!~~

He creeps up behind Ion, bent on making it being a surprise, really. Sync could be quiet when he wanted to be; so hopefully he wouldn't be caught.

3...2...1--AND there he goes, tipping Ion out of his wheelchair in as swift of a move as possible. He laughs as he does so, mischief glinting in his eyes.

Okay, maybe he had kind of missed messing with Ion. Help the poor soul?]

((ooc: ion and sync will both be responding to this! characters can intervene right after Ion falls or while Sync is destroying the wheelchair (which will be happening as well). Just specify when!

edit: ALSO i didn't specify but Sync is in fact wearing a mask. So characters might not know immediately that he and Ion resemble each other.))

That's of no concern to you. [HE'S STILL MAD well, okay, it's rather like having a tiny kitten mad at you, but he's still mad!!]

You of all people should know that you can't get away with attacking people in a village this size in broad daylight without getting caught. So why are you trying this again?

[Ion knows that even with Master Toph gone, there would always be someone in the village who would stop Sync if he tried to hurt anyone. And of course, Ion also has the advantage that while he knows Toph isn't in Luceti, Sync doesn't. You'd think that knowing that the ground could open up and swallow you at any minute would be a pretty big deterrent.]

[Rude, Ion's thoughts, Jade's still hear to be somewhere near as scary as her. He casually pulls his spear out from his arm and turns it around. Part of him is feeling that restless need for action, but he knows restraint, and he knows that this village is an unwise location for a battle, so he's just going to look intimidating and leave a next move up to Sync.]

It's because he has a death wish, isn't it? [He looks towards Sync, dumbfounded.] Isn't that right? Or have you forgotten the types of people who tend to gravitate towards Ion, specifically to defend him from idiots?

[Sync is...carefully just going to make sure that spear doesn't come anywhere near him. And he's hyper-aware just in case another one of the brigade showed up too. They won't get him off guard again!]

Yeah? Are you going to do anything else but attack while my back is turned, though?

[Call him stupid or not, but he might just be trying to provoke Jade. Again.]

Not if your back is turned to leave. [After all, what would they get out of chasing him down? And besides that, it's not as though Jade could leave Ion here on the ground, helpless, while he hunts after Sync.]

[Of course, in that same respect, with Ion rather unable to move right now, Jade is stuck defending a pretty open target.] We have no reason to fight you here, Sync. You're the only one who doesn't understand that.

Oh, there are a number of distinct attack possibilities. Rest assured, I'll be all too glad to let you watch me make waste of you if that's such a concern for you. [He says casually as he twirls his spear around and steps cleanly between Sync and Ion. That would mean that any of Sync's potential attacks would be going in the same direction as Ion, but it also meant that Jade could try to defend anything that could be sent towards Ion regardless.

And then he stops his twirl, holding the spear rigid, as his glasses gleam]

But the fon master is right. Now that you're stuck here as well with no chance of any fruitless victory, why don't you just crawl into some hole to waste away like your compatriots?

[Sync watches warily as Jade steps in between Ion and himself. He wasn't about to let this guy get the best of him, either.]

You want me to do that, but I won't.

[The rigid spear is just a tad bit more alarming, to be honest.] And don't you think I've tried to stay away from you people? At least I did something interesting with my time this time.

You can't very well make the argument that you're staying away from us when you're the one who approached me.

[You know. This time. It's not as though Ion can deny that he's reached out to Sync in the past -- but how could he not? Even after everything that's happened in Luceti, he still believes there's a lot they could learn from each other. They were both replicas, after all.]

I wasn't even aware you had returned to Luceti.

There's nothing interesting about your actions at all, Sync. All you've done is remind us how much of a nuisance you are.

[He's not willing to cut Sync any allowances. He could run off to hide with all the other God-Generals, but this bold attack was tempting Jade to just do off with him. Aside from knowing Ion would disapprove, he was primarily held back from knowing that death doesn't work right in this world. Sync would be back in a week.]

We're certainly aware of your return now, Sync. Now why don't you try even harder to stay away with us? You could earn yourself a gold star.

You're making it sound like I'm stalking you or something.

[Literally he just was minding his own business and found Ion. But no one's going to believe him, so he isn't sure why he's going to try. Not that he cares, anyway.

He could off him -- he wouldn't care too much. Death was where he wanted to be, right?]

What're you going to do if I don't?

[If Jade tried to kill Sync, Ion would certainly disapprove. Not only for Sync's sake, but for Jade's as well -- it was all too easy to make a bad name for yourself in a village this size. With Sync newly returned, who's to say the majority would take Jade's side if it ever came in to question that he murdered Sync on the street? If anything, the fact that Sync shares a face with both Ion and Florian would likely put himself in an advantage, if he chose to take that route.]

What are you trying to gain from this, Sync? You won't lose anything if you walk away right now.

You might nod. [Jade corrected.] But certainly, any degree of trutworthiness is already long gone.

Trust? [Ha!] I never wanted trust.

[He glances over at Ion, and finally backs up a step.]

Do I always have to have a reason?

Edited (KICKS HTML) 2013-07-04 23:40 (UTC)

...I don't suppose you do. You never have, after all.

[Not in Luceti, and perhaps not back home either. But that's not a fight Ion wants to start right now -- much like with what Sync is doing here now, there was nothing to gain from it. At least, not right now.]

Yes, yes, you reject all trust and reason and would rather we all did away with you. Will that quite be all, then? You've made your point quite clearly already.

[Hmph. He knows getting into a physical fight with Jade would be a bad idea right now, so...]

Take your precious Fon Master and go away.
