Hello? Hello? ...Ah-ha, just kidding! Leave a message after the beepity beep~

[Donnie relinquishes Accelerator's phone, not even bothering to try looking innocent about it. And not at all slightly anxious because the esper's reached for his collar, no sir.]

Well we could get into detail but it'd mainly be about us having an impromptu burger grilling on the sidewalks.

[He might have been curious about where the things originated from but at the time he'd been preoccupied with too many other things to care.

When Leo uses his sword to pop open a portal, Donnie tries not to scrutinize it too much- oh who's he kidding, he lowers his goggles for a quick look. It's small but he can see the improvement in that connection. If Leo notices, he'll flash him a quick grin as he pushes his goggles up again before he looks back towards their resident esper.

[Accelerator is swearing under his breath as he shoves his phone back in his pocket and drops his hand.]

There wasn't much else to it. [There was murderous hamburger, Donnie cooked it with mystic tech, Excelsior sucks and he's in no rush to go back to that place. God, that day was weird.

And oh what the hell, is that Leo's form of teleporting? His attention is pulled away from sentient meat adventures to stare in mild surprise at the glowy blue portal. That's a far cry from how he's seen espers do it and he'd like to know what the vectors involved are, since this is obviously a form of movement --

Nnnnope, nope, that's a rabbit hole that could take hours. He needs to focus on the task at hand right now, and ask about the portals later.]


......... Thanks. [He takes his crutch from Leo and gets it all arranged before pulling away from the wall. Trying to switch between using it and his choker like they've suggested is the goal here, but god, it's such a frustrating thing.] Alright, ready.

[personal profile] purplexing 2023-04-24 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, Donnie's not too keen on having to deal with a consistently crying Leo, that'd just be too weird, not to mention exhausting. He's still determined to figure this out, but it's definitely a positive thing that his brother's portaling hasn't gotten worse.

He watches Leo set off then, gesturing for Accelerator to follow. Donnie will be behind them to critique.

levelshift: (grr)

[personal profile] levelshift 2023-04-24 03:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, even with his crutch he's definitely turning his choker on so he can start out on a not-terrible foot. At least with it on he can keep doing the soundwave reflection thing as he does his best to follow Leo, switching it off whenever he stops to try and conserve the battery power.

Of course, he does a piss poor job regardless because he has no actual technique - he isn't thinking about balance or center of gravity outside of not toppling over when his choker is off, his stance is sloppy, at best he's keeping his crutch close to himself the entire time so it isn't quite as obvious. He's mostly trying to mimic Leo, but mimicry can only take you so far.

At least he's taking this seriously, not wanting this to be a huge waste of anyone's time. This just requires an awareness of his body that he's never had to bother with before. He always focused on his brain, doing the calculations to prevent injuries to himself when pushing his body, but never actually focusing on his actual body. He's found a brand new reason why not having his constant, automatic reflection is a pain in the ass.

Donnie is going to have a whole lot to critique.]
purplexing: (plotting your demise)

[personal profile] purplexing 2023-04-24 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, it was...something.

Donnie has quietly been following behind, and at the very least that means Accelerator can't see the faces he makes as he observes the esper's performance.

Boy do they have their work cut out for them.
]

On the plus side it's clear you were making an attempt? It is also pretty clear that you've never really had to sneak around before.

[He folds his arms, stroking his chin as he studies the esper while likely thinking about the earlier exercise.]

I can tell you were struggling. The crutch isn't doing you any favors for this particular exercise either but they're not exactly made for subtlety so I'm not blaming you there for trying.

Thought process as you were going through the motions? What wasn't working for you?
levelshift: (I'm not overprotective)

[personal profile] levelshift 2023-04-24 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[He looks exasperated but not surprised. Actually getting support is also extremely strange, he's only really used to getting that from Last Order and Yomikawa.

... He decides it's best to not dwell on that right now.]


All of it? I've never fucking thought this much about my body ever, even before the brain injury. [He clicks his tongue in irritation.] Actually, I would've thought about it even less back then, since the reflection portion of my ability was constant. Who gives a shit about danger when even a goddamn atom bomb would automatically bounce off of you?

[But that's a lot of bitching and he doubts it's very constructive.]

I'm trying to lean more on my right side, because my left leg is weak. [Hence the crutch.] Just keeping my balance is hard when I'm switching the choker on and off, since the calculations I'm doing for balance and shit get turned off. I have to compensate for the change, and when it's that frequent it's a pain in the ass. It's like my whole body's getting fucking reset each time.
purplexing: (dubious leo plans)

[personal profile] purplexing 2023-04-25 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Sorry, even Donnie's gonna have to be sidetracked by that comment.]

Is this factually proven or an exaggeration?

[Inquiring minds need to know. But...he supposes they do have to focus on the point here.]

That's the thing Leo, he needs that to function at all. But I think that's a good suggestion...

[He holds up a finger, turning his attention towards Accelerator then.]

The less you have to switch between modes, the better. It would be best if you relied on default mode for movement. Balance is going to be important for that, but it's not impossible to be quiet that way. You just have to work on how you move. Which would fall under the paying attention to your body.

[He strokes his chin in thought as he eyes the crutch.]

Would a brace of some kind work better? Or is a crutch just what you're used to working with? It's kind of on the bulky side but I guess that's typical if it's supposed to be supplementing the strength of your left leg.
levelshift: (so they've stopped cellular aging)

[personal profile] levelshift 2023-04-25 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Hm. Ah. He should've kept his mouth shut. Going into detail about esper level categorizations, more specifically his own level, might lead to conversations he's been trying to avoid here, so he does the helpful thing and shrugs vaguely.]

I've been run through enough experiments to know. The lack of oxygen would be an issue, though.

[He only knows that detail because of a certain flour explosion he caused when trying to kill a certain level 0, whom he doubts would have any trouble with any of this because he was on the ball when it came to a physical fight....

That gets several seconds of thoughts from Accelerator before he snaps himself out of those memories, and leans up against a wall so he can slide down to the floor. Sue him, his legs are tired and this is a lot. They're both making good points.]


So my best bet is to use my power when we're leaving and keep this thing on normal mode for most of it? Holy shit, I'm going to doom us.

[This is going to require so much exercise oh goddddd. He inwardly cringes, and looks down at his crutch.]

This is what that fucking doctor gave me to use after the surgery. I've only had it for about a month before showing up here, so I didn't have time to find something else. I was still getting used to this thing. [He still is, given how sore his right shoulder gets sometimes.]
purplexing: (no i don't believe you)

[personal profile] purplexing 2023-04-25 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
Are we still calling it that? It is clearly re-cy-cling. Just not through the avenues originally intended.

[Accelerator's response at their clarifications regarding his apparent ability to shrug off atom bombs has Donnie sliding a scrutinous look back at him. It's already been established that the whole Academy City thing was messed up but now he has to wonder just why all they felt the need to make sure someone could survive those kind of circumstances.

He shakes his head, filing that thought for later as he glances at Leo, nodding along at his suggestion before he looks at Accelerator, holding out a hand for the crutch.
]

Can I have a look at it?

[He'd already been thinking about ways the crutch could be improved while he'd been watching the esper use it, but having a closer look for himself would give him a better idea of what all Accelerator's fighting with here. Because it's clearly a hassle.]
levelshift: (way too tired for this)

[personal profile] levelshift 2023-04-25 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
[He has to give Leo a look here, because him thinking positively is an even more impossible task than him exercising. He's pretty sure his brain is permanently tuned to 'being a depressing killjoy.']

Pretty sure the goddamn city'll see it as theft, even though we're doing them a fucking favour. Otherwise we could walk in the front door no problem.

[Regardless of that, it would kind of sort of maybe be nice to be able to punch better. For, you know, when he needs to punch out dipshits, which is an extremely important thing he still wants to be able to do. So he doesn't immediately dismiss the idea.]

Tche, I guess it's my best option here, even though it'll be a huge pain. Even outside of this plan, it'd be stupid to rely on an ability that's got a thirty minute time limit in a world full of superpowered people....

[Accelerator already felt the consequences of being that dumb back home, he doesn't want a repeat here.

He'll hand his crutch over for Donnie to examine, totally ignoring the look he's getting in the meantime. Look, don't worry about the bomb thing, it's whatever. The crutch itself definitely on the nicer end of medical assistant devices and probably wasn't cheap to supply, but it's still just a normal one with no fancy high tech additions.]
purplexing: (wha)

[personal profile] purplexing 2023-04-25 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[Donnie nods along at Leo's point. The big thing was that no one knew, after all.

He hefts Accelerator's crutch, tapping a finger against it as he looks it over. Pretty sturdy, which is ideal, but it's still cumbersome to move with.
]

I mean, you could even use this as a weapon if you absolutely needed to but it'd still require you having some muscle...and balance.

[He leans on the crutch as he tries moving around with it.

Leo does ask a good question though- does Accelerator know how to punch?
Donnie looks between them, brow arching at the esper then.
]
levelshift: (pfft)

[personal profile] levelshift 2023-04-25 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[Thanks, Donnie, for completely dragging him, even though it's fully warranted. He's looking down at his skinny noodle arms, which have basically no muscle mass on them, and is fairly sure he wouldn't be able to beat the crap out of anyone with his crutch. Anyone slightly proficient in street fighting could beat him handily, he already knows that. Just like he knows what would happen if he went up against someone with a gun.

He's not eager to repeat either of those situations. Punching someone definitely isn't going to help against a gun and he should probably say as much, but he is kind of perking up at that question regardless.]


Well, I've punched people before. [Is that the same thing? Surely it's the same thing. And then, because it's kind of funny, Accelerator offers a twinge of a lopsided smirk.]

I punched out a dogshit teleporter once because she was being really fucking annoying.

[There was obviously way more to it than that, like the question of why he was even bothering to punch someone out when he could've just used his reflection with less effort, but it had been fun.]
purplexing: (plotting your demise)

[personal profile] purplexing 2023-04-26 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
Waaaas it in a fight or just because she was there?

[He'd be more impressed if it were in a fight because on top of that he was dealing with a teleporter, but Donnie kind of doubts it.

He doesn't react much as Leo goes in for the noogie, just glad he's not on the receiving end for a change. Instead, he resumes his assessment of the crutch situation.
]

No hard feelings if you actually do.
levelshift: (top ten anime betrayals)

1/2

[personal profile] levelshift 2023-04-26 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
[With his choker in normal mode there's no way in hell he's avoiding the noogie. He doesn't even have the chance to answer Donnie's question because holy shit, as far as he can see that's coming out of nowhere.]

- ????????????

[He is stunned. Stunned.]
levelshift: (to hell with that!)

[personal profile] levelshift 2023-04-26 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Buuut that only lasts a second before he's flailing and trying to shove Leo away. Turning his choker on does cross his mind, but he doesn't actually want to break any of Leo's limbs. That would be overkill.]

Y - you son of a bitch!! Fuck off!!!

[He settles for shoving a hand in Leo's face. Maybe he should try punching him.]
purplexing: (...)

[personal profile] purplexing 2023-04-26 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
You think?

[Donnie looks at the two of them, unimpressed.]

Well, that proved absolutely nothing aside from Leo's love of being a nuisance.

[He shrugs, turning his attention back to the crutch before he holds a hand out beside it, forming another out of hardlight outlind in neon violet lines now familiar to even Accelerator.

It's somewhat shorter, lacking the largish cup in favor of something more streamlined with a button at the end of the handgrip.
]

Here, try this. Unfortunately I can't do much for simulating weight, but in terms of maneuverability, hitting that button should retract the length some so you'll have less to keep track of.

levelshift: (to hell with that!)

[personal profile] levelshift 2023-04-26 02:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's downright flustered over here. Who does that?? Who does noogies out of nowhere?!! The aura coming off of Accelerator, even after Leo lets go, is downright murderous, but combine that with his hair now in complete disarray and him being the least physically intimidating person ever it's more funny and childish than anything.]

You motherfucker! I should throw you through a wall!!

[Way to absolutely ruin his extremely important chuuni aesthetic. He's grumbling under his breath (complete with cursing every other word) as he takes the hardlight crutch Donnie is offering. It somewhat mollifies him as he tests it out, putting his weight on it and experimentally hitting the button to retract it back and forth.

... But still!!!]


How the hell do you put up with him? [Very important question, Donnie!!!]
