Style: First, but I can match!
Status: Open

Jungo! No!

[There's a loud commotion going on in the plaza right now. A cat seems to have painfully latched itself onto a random passerby's. Juneko is an agitated wet kitty right now. And no matter how much he's being pried off of this person's face, he didn't seem to want to budge.]

I-I'm sorry! He's usually not like this at all—

[Except when he's taking a bath.

However, Jungo never expected his cat to suddenly explode like that. But after several seconds of prying, Juneko hissed before letting go and then bolting off into a random direction.]

Jungo, come back!!

[Feeling equally distressed, he chases after the runaway feline.

Somebody, anybody, help him retrieve his cat!!

Ooc: You can also assume that you're the random person that Juneko is attacking~]

Comments

[chawanmushi]

"O-oh...!" Normally one would deny owning a cat that clawed at not only one, but two people now! But Jungo doesn't hesitant on reclaiming his cat. He'll take responsibility for Juneko's actions!

"Y-yes...! He's mine! U-um..." Even with the wonderfully cool facade Gilbert is putting up right now, it still looked really painful. Jungo had to quickly pry his cut off of him. "I'm sorry! I'll get Jungo off of you right now!"

Out right pulling him off would only make it worse. So Jungo tries to quickly soothe and calm the feline down. Once Juneko eases up a little bit more, he's quickly pulled away from Gilbert's leg.

Unfortunately, Jungo couldn't save Gilbert's pants though.

"I'm sorry about your pants. Um..." He pauses, thinking for a bit. "I'll buy you a new pair to replace those!"

[kivaember]

Gilbert winced when the cat was pulled off - although it seemed calmer, the scratches and gouges in his leg still throbbed with pain. He looked down to inspect the damage, and almost cried at his jeans being torn to bloody hell - literally, the shredded denim had smears of blood from his cuts. It looked like his shin got attacked by a rabid badger.

"...don't worry about it," Gilbert muttered. "The stuff here is free, so it's not like it cost me anything..." he looked up at the man, frowning intensely. Hmph! Well...Gilbert was pretty pissed, but the man looked very apologetic, and one couldn't blame a cat suddenly drenched with seawater to act nice. He had a weakness for animals, anyway. "You can get me some iodine though," he huffed. "My arms are full and I didn't get a first aid kit yet."

[chawanmushi]

Welp, good thing pants were free. Jungo didn't have any money to begin with...!

But Gilbert's leg looks awful... It's the first time he's really seen Juneko act like this, but he'll have to scold the kitty later. Right now, he has to take care of Gilbert's wound.

"Mmm! Okay! Just tell me where I can get it and I'll bring it over to you as quickly as possible!"

[kivaember]

"Eh..." Okay, the poor guy looked genuinely distressed over the whole thing, enough so that Gilbert finally rolled his eyes and let out a little huff. "Don't worry, I'll show you. I think you'd just get lost if you're a newbie and then I'd probably die of old age before you'd find me." With that, Gilbert began to limp back towards the shops - it was mostly for show. If he could run for miles on a broken leg, a few scratches won't stop him!

[chawanmushi]

Yes, leading the way would definitely be the better idea. Except, Jungo is feeling even more guilty now as he watches the man limp as he walked. So, he'll help Gilbert out in the only way that he can with that. Trusting that Juneko isn't going to run away this time, he sets the cat down so he could walk beside him.

"...Mmm, sorry if you don't like this..." That was the only warning Jungo gave him as he approaches him. He hooks his arms undo Gilbert's legs and lifts the man up, princess style. Even for a grown man like Gilbert, with Jungo's strength, carrying him like this is really easy.

"Just give me directions and I'll just carry you there."

[kivaember]

"Wha- gah!" Gilbert squawked when he was suddenly picked up, hurriedly clutching his shopping bags to his chest so they didn't spill out all over the floor. "H-Hey! Don't just do that!" he yelped, wriggling a bit in Jungo's arms - but not too much since he didn't want to tumble out of them and send his bags everywhere.

Eventually he just accepted it, and relaxed into the man's arms with a quiet, prideful huff. "A touchy feely guy, aren't you? You're like Antonio. Probably as stupid as him too..." he grumbled. He meant this affectionately, of course, as Spain was one of his closest friends. He was like a dumb puppy, and Gilbert loved puppies.

[chawanmushi]

"It's easier this way...! You won't have to strain yourself now." He smiles once Gilbert has relaxed and settled into his arms. They're strangers, but at least he trusts Jungo enough to do that. That alone makes him feel really happy.

And at the stupid comment, Jungo just chuckles at that. "You think so?" His smile widens even more. Even if Jungo hadn't known it wasn't meant as a insult, it wouldn't have bothered him anyway. It's not the first time he's been called that.

Hmm, a big dumb puppy. That's certainly a fitting description for Jungo!

[kivaember]

Gilbert gave the man a weird look. Yup, definitely like Antonio. He sighed and after a moment, muttered at himself. Well, this flash of minor familiarity was comforting in a way. Vatheon was still freaky enough for him to still get homesick.

"...the name's Prussia, by the way. That or Gilbert, if the pronunciation's too much for you."

[chawanmushi]

"Prussia..." He repeats his name as if to test how it'd roll against his tongue. "I think I've got it!" Jungo is smiling oh so confidently, as if he pronouncing Gilbert's name is the greatest achievement ever. So great, he should get a sticker!

That's what they did back in the orphanage he came from! Good boys and girls that do great things get a sticker!

"I'm Jungo." His smile drops a little. "I wish we could have met on better circumstances..." A scenario where Gilbert didn't have Jungo's crazed cat clawing at his jeans and leg. "I'll definitely take responsibility though."

[kivaember]

"Nah, it's fine. I've had worst first meetings," like getting beaten up by Hungary, who was a monster! She was such a butch girl, it was totally gross. "You're on the 'okay' level of first impressions. Your crazy cat attacked me, but you were nice about it, so it's alright."

[chawanmushi]

"Okay leveled?" How surprising! "I'm really happy then!" That bright, cheery smile of his is easily recovered. "And, it'd be wrong if I didn't help you out. Jungo is usually really good. He's just been really restless since arriving here though."

Luckily, the cat seems to have calmed down a bit now. Jungo gives the feline a few quick glances every now and then just to make sure.

[kivaember]

It took Gilbert a few moments to realise he was talking about his cat and not himself in third person. "...your cat's called Jungo?" he asked. Well...Gilbert can't really say much about that. He called his canary Gilbird after all. Easiest name to remember.

[chawanmushi]

"Yes, he is Jungo too!" In Jungo's defense though, he wasn't the only one that decided on that name. "My friend, Hiro, helped me name him too. He also picked 'Jungo'." But really, the main reason is because it's the easiest name for him to remember.

[kivaember]

Gilbert grinned slightly. "I bet you picked it coz it's the easiest name to remember, right? Eh, I get that. I have a companion too! His name's Gilbird. He's the cutest little canary you've ever seen!"

[chawanmushi]

"Wow, you're amazing! That's exactly why I named him Jungo!" Jungo is impressed now. Very impressed! "You have a bird...?" He's smiling at the way Gilbert described his companion. Gilbird must really be as cute as he says. "Is he here with you too?"

[kivaember]

Gilbert sighed and jostled the shopping bags on his stomach with a small grumble. "...no, he isn't. He wasn't with me when I got sucked into this Atlantis reject place."

[chawanmushi]

"Oh..." That's really sad to hear. That smile of his slowly turns into a frown. "I'm sorry to hear that..." It must be sad arriving to a place like this all alone. Jungo would have been more distraught if Juneko hadn't arrived with him too.

Jungo finally approaches what appears to be a general store. "Oh, maybe we can get something to clean and wrap your scratches from here...!"

[kivaember]

"Yeah. You- er, you can put me down now, y'know," Gilbert drawled, wriggling slightly in Jungo's arms to be put down. He could hobble about in a store long enough to pick up some iodine and plasters - well, no, it'd be wiser to buy bandages instead. The scratches were too long and numerous to cover them all with plasters.

[chawanmushi]

"Right, sorry!" Jungo gives Gilbert an apologetic look and slowly sets him down on the floor. Now that his arms were free again, Juneko took the chance to jump into Jungo's arms. The cat has become tired of walking around.

"I'll help you look for the things too!" It's quicker this way.

[kivaember]

Gilbert adjusted the shopping bags in his hands and nodded - why spurn help? - and stepped into the store. He had to wander about a bit before he found the medical supplies, but when he did, he immediately picked up the brown bottle of iodine solution, and a packet of bandages (he had to do some juggling with his shopping bags, but he managed). "Ah, there we are."

[chawanmushi]

"Here, let me help carry your bags while you fix yourself up. They are really getting in the way." He temporarily sets Juneko back down on the floor again, much to the cat's displeasure. Then he holds out his arms so Gilbert could pass them over.

[kivaember]

Gilbert gratefully handed over the shopping bags, and led them over to where the store had a little bench thing. It was probably where people could effectively juggle their shopping bags and wedge purchases into already bursting bags in peace, but Gilbert was going to use it as an impromptu medical station.

He parked his ass down on the bench and unscrewed the cap of iodine. The strong smell made him wrinkle his nose, but he just rolled up the shredded fabric of his jeans and splashed a good portion on there. He hissed at the sting, but just rubbed the solution in with his sleeve. Not the most sanitary thing but there you are.

As he started to unwind the bandages to wrap around his leg, Gilbert looked up at Jungo. "So...where're ya from?"

[chawanmushi]

Ah, that looks really painful. Jungo has seen some really terrible stuff before. But this is something he blames himself for. Maybe that's why it's so much harder for him to look at.

"I'm from Nagoya, Japan." He smiles a little, thinking about home. "It's a really nice place...!" If demons weren't running around rampant. And that dark void wasn't slowly consuming it.

[kivaember]

"Japan? Oh, you're one of his, then?" Gilbert questioned, looking up from his bandage wrapping. He grinned. "Oh wait, you wouldn't know. I've been to quite a few places in Japan. Wonderful place. Awesome place to get manga and anime. Germany doesn't sell lots, but that's because he's such a gigantic stick in the mud. Ah, whatever happened to my cute little brother...he became so stiff..."

[chawanmushi]

"You've been there before? Then you must have tried the food there too, right?" He smiles happily at that. "Have you gotten the chance to try Chawanmushi?" If it's Jungo, he'll always bring that topic up.

He's chuckling a little at the last comment. "You actually have to buy it from your little brother?" Do siblings not share nowadays?
