You're gonna tell me what happens to you if you say a word of this. If I don't like what that is, you can tell it to the wall!
[That's right, Kaneda, you get to do even more work to do something nice for him in order to tell him who pranked him. That's exactly what's going on right now.
Because even if he's stuck on his bed, Tetsuo refuses to not have power over this situation. He can't not.]
[Ahahaha that's not foreboding. In fact, that arm moves from his neck to behind his head, smiling in...an attempt to stave off that worry.]
Right. Deal.
[Because really, this is as good of a deal as he can get with him. He kneels down, trying to find the remains of the box underneath all those unicorns, in order to gather them all up again. A futile attempt, honestly.
So he'll start shoving them in the crook of his arm.]
Hazel.
[The way he says it, it's like he's stating the weather.]
[KANEDA IS SO DEAD THIS IS THE LAST FUCKING TIME THAT ASSHOLE GETS TO RUIN HIS LIFE GODDAMMIT]
You--
Go ahead, Kaneda... break that deal.
And when you do... I'll bury you so far in the ocean they'll never find your corpse!!
[The air's thick with potential, but he manages to avoid actually attacking. You hear that, Kaneda? Tetsuo'll keep his word. Every last one he's said. HE WILL FIND A BRIDGE OVER WATER ASSHOLE. Kaneda never specified how FAR Tetsuo got to throw him.]
[Kaneda stands up, walking over to Tetsuo's bed casually, plopping down opposite of him to set it in front of them like some weird kind of science project.]
[It's weird isn't it Tetsuo? The whole...horn thing. Sorry something about personal space what's that. He totally forgot they were enemies for a moment.
Because...it was so easy to fall back into that routine.]
The fact Kaneda's genuinely confused is the most surreal part of all of this. And that's after getting a box full of unicorns and finding one that forgot unicorns were horses. And all of this happens in America.
[He blinks a moment, looking at Tetsuo as the situation slowly sinks back in. Honestly, the whole whale thing made him forget that Tetsuo was actually mad.
It's now that it hits him, but...there's a smile, rubbing his hand behind his neck again. He threw Tetsuo off his angry streak, right? Not exactly intended, but he'll take it.
[Angry confusion is a lot easier to work around than anger, it's true. Kaneda hasn't even been thrown off the bed yet; Tetsuo's still busy trying to piece together how he ended up there.]

action;
...What is it that Tetsuo wants to do more than anything?
Oh. Oh this one was easy.]
Shit, I don't know...I'll let you throw me off a bridge or something.
[He'd probably live, right?]
action;
[Good start, that.]
action;
You trying to get the right lighting or something?
[You'd think with Kaneda, the 'bridge you pick' is 'the closest one'.]
action;
[He'd draw himself up to his full 5'4" stature here, but.. circumstances prevent that.]
Deal. What son of a bitch did this?
Re: action;

Mmmmmhmmm.
That's who the message went to.

action;
He looks over at him, giving a shrug at that threat--it's not like Tetsuo hasn't wished/threatened death on him before.]
Aw Tetsuo, you have such faith in me...
[He's about to continue, until something catches his attention.]
action;
Deep, angry breath, don't you even pause asshole don't you think about it]
action;
...
The hell is this.
[Some...whale unicorn? Did the plushie company have a defect?]
action; 1/

action; /3
[seriously though what is that, now he's a little curious dammit]
action;
There's no way it's real.
action;
Stares at the uniwhale. Then stares at Kaneda the second he sits down on his bed. WHAT PART OF HE WILL MURDER YOU DID YOU NOT HEAR]
Get away from me.
action;
Because...it was so easy to fall back into that routine.]
Huh?
[Oh. OH.]
action;
The fact Kaneda's genuinely confused is the most surreal part of all of this. And that's after getting a box full of unicorns and finding one that forgot unicorns were horses. And all of this happens in America.
Are you fucking serious right now.]
Don't you - ...The hell?
What do you mean, huh??!
[Did you SERIOUSLY forget what was going on here?
WHAT IS GOING ON DID WE SKIP A CHAPTER WHAT]
action;
It's now that it hits him, but...there's a smile, rubbing his hand behind his neck again. He threw Tetsuo off his angry streak, right? Not exactly intended, but he'll take it.
Heads.]
So...you gonna keep it?
[I mean, it's so WEIRD...]
action;
[Angry confusion is a lot easier to work around than anger, it's true. Kaneda hasn't even been thrown off the bed yet; Tetsuo's still busy trying to piece together how he ended up there.]
action;
Yeah but...until we figure it out.
action;
[Shit, uh... it's a what.]
It's a stuffed animal!!
action;
Of what, though.
