You make light of it now but try not to be surprised when you soon awaken with powers you cannot explain. Maga-Z's powers are ones that are controlled by emotions. To panic...that will surely bring disaster and destruction to yourself and your surrounding environment!
[Well he can likely feel him as he comes up over his shoulder and then he peeks out, peering up at Kuzuryuu from the top of his sleeve. You better be fast because you've only got a couple seconds while he sizes you up before he's trying to dash across one shoulder, behind your neck, and onto the other one.]
[Kuzuryuu was too busy having a staredown with Maga-Z to really listen to anything Gundam just said. Though, let's be honest, he never really pays Gundam's magical nonsense much mind.]
[Size him up all you want, fuzzbutt, it's obvious that he's more than a match for you! Totally going to grab you before you have a chance to do anything else. Wait for it...wait for it... And--]
[Not the most dignified of noises, but then again there's nothing really dignified about having a hamster crawl around the back of your neck.]
Why you little--!!
[He attempts to snatch the hamster now hiding on his other shoulder. Maga-Z only has a matter of seconds to move, better make them count! Treat him like playground equipment, will you? Why he oughta--!!]
[You underestimate his power! He's not some ordinary hamster you know. He's the "Crimson Steel Elephant" Maga-Z, and a few seconds is really all he needs. The little furry asshole zips into the fold of his collar, squishing himself around to the back of the boy's neck and just sitting there, seemingly happy with the cave he's found. It's sort of like a scarf. You have your own hamster scarf, Kuzuryuu, except Cham-P definitely couldn't fit into this one, no matter how amazing it is that he can fit into Gundam's.
And speaking of those other hamsters, both Cham-P and San-D have been watching this entire thing curiously from his lap, looking like they maybe want to join in...]
[Gundam, meanwhile...well, it seems he hasn't noticed that he's going almost completely ignored. Perhaps he's equally ignoring Kuzuryuu as well, because he just keeps talking.]
It will be quite the impressive display, seeing you wield the powers of the "Crimson Steel Elephant" Maga-Z! I believe his powers would suit you well...your ill-temper would utilize them best, allowing for his essence to develop to its full potential within you! I would not be surprised if you would even be able to manifest techniques of your own, rather than simply relying on those afforded to you by Maga-Z's will...kehehe, what a grand sight that would be to behold! The furious claws of the one-eyed dragon, engulfed by the flames of his very soul! His wings spread wide as he towers over his enemies, unleashing hellfire upon their heads as they scatter like mere ants beneath him!
[It's with a hearty cackle that he continues, one hand raised in a dramatic manner, fingers curled like claws, as he gazes almost purposefully at the sky.]
Imagine the sort of power you could control should all four of the Devas grant you a boon, Kuzuryuu! Though you may not wish to hope for such an event to pass, as mortal bodies cannot hope to contain all of their essence within them! It would surely tear your psyche to shreds! Leave it a tattered mess of what it used to be! Your sanity would be in pieces, lining the stale ground of your mind and desperately trying to pull itself back together, only to be met with failure time and time again, as it cannot possibly hope to grasp the gravity of having the powers of the Gods within you! You would go absolutely mad, hungry for more as the powers consume your soul in a thick, pitch black darkness, tearing through your humanity, your morals, the very core qualities that create your foundation! The basis of who you are! You would be nothing but a soulless husk...
Do not worry, however. I will be sure that does not happen to you. Now that you have Maga-Z's essence coursing through your body, it is my responsibility to carefully cultivate it within you, so that you do not become corrupt from the great influence that even one of my Devas would have on your human soul. I will take great care to insure that only one other of my Four Dark Devas of Destruction will be able to pass on their magic to you, to keep you in check. Perhaps Jum-P will offer you his nimble and swift abilities...skills such as that would flourish with someone as light as yourself...you could even master one of the Twelve Impossible Techniques, the deadly Omnidirectional Steps of the Shadow...
[What a beautiful speech that was. Really moving. At least it would have been if Kuzuryuu had bothered paying attention to the whole thing. But alas, he did not. Your magnificent monologues are wasted on this one, Gundam. He only half listens.]
[This half-listening problem only becomes worse when Kuzuryuu actually has something to be distracted by. In this case, that something is Maga-Z. He spends a good minute or two trying to deal with that particular issue, reaching around to the back of his own neck to try and nudge Maga-Z out of his collar. But apparently the fuzzball has made himself comfortable back there and just isn't having it. And Kuzuryuu...guesses that's okay? As long as he stays put. He's not really hurting anything back there. Enjoy his sort-of scarf. You win this round.]
[But even once he's dealt with that, he still can't obviously give Gundam ALL of his attention because San-D and Cham-P totally need some of it. Two hands, two hamsters: he's got this. It's only once he's kind of worked himself into a pattern with the two that he realizes Gundam is still talking.]
[Does this guy ever shut up?? Holy shit. He missed that entire middle part about his soul being ripped apart or whatever. Which is honestly probably a good thing, considering the subject. Man...what is he talking about here. Cultivate??? Don't cultivate him, that just sounds weird...]
[Oh hey, he seems to be done talking. Uh...man, he is not sure if he was just insulted or complimented there. There was that whole bit about him having an ill-temper and then he just HAD to call him "light" there at the end. But even so, he actually made those out to be good things? What the hell, Gundam. Where do you even get this stuff...]
All that...just from having a hamster run up my arm, huh?
[They are very clearly wasted on him, though apparently he's pretty good at not looking like he totally ignored everything his friend just said to him. That answer is good enough for Gundam and he nods, leaning back against the bench.]
It may seem like a small action, but the impact of the gesture itself is great.
[Hey. Hey Kuzuryuu. You totally wanted another hamster up your sleeve, right? Because Cham-P is...no. No he's not scurrying. He managed to squish himself into the sleeve, but his butt and back feet are still hanging out of it and he's not going anywhere. Too fat...
San-D continues to behave at least, sitting and enjoying the petting for now. Man she might even be curling up a little, isn't that cute?]
What do you mean? Hey, no get out of there, fatass. [SORRY AGAIN, SAN-D, YOU PERFECT, PRECIOUS HAMSTER ANGEL. These dumb boys keep taking away from your pets. But he sadly needs that hand to pull Cham-P out of his sleeve. Will you let him put you up on his shoulder instead, o great dragon? Is that an acceptable compromise since you're too fat to play in his fun arm tubes?]
[Well good, as long as you're happy, Cham-P. That's all that matters. And now he can go back to petting San-D who is quickly becoming his favorite because what a well behaved hamster. Look at you. Precious.]
Huh. And here I thought he was just being a curious little shit.
[Please remember his chief animal experience is with dogs and the occasional stray dojo cat. He knows nothing of rodents, much less how they show affection.]
[You think she's precious now. You should see her when the boys get on her nerves. Or, god forbid, Gundam does. There is hell to pay if you upset this little angel.]
Oh the curiosity was there, make no mistake. For Maga-Z to find an area to nap, however...
There must be something that they sense about you that welcomes them. I will have to observe you further to understand this anomaly you possess.
[He'll try not to do that...he'd hate to invite her furry wrath upon him. Not that he believes hamsters are capable of having wraths, but whatever.]
[But right, animals are supposedly good at picking up on this sort of thing, aren't they. Clearly, they can tell that he has a kind heart under that prickly, asshole coating of his. He has kind of the opposite problem of Peko...]
I think you're looking way too much into it... [Anomaly, really? Such a strong word...] And you make me sound like I'm some kind of lab rat or something when you say shit like that.
[Observing him, cultivating him...stop making him sound like a middle school science project or something, jeez!!]
[Ask to see what's under his bandages sometime, Kuzuryuu, if you really don't believe hamsters can have wraths.]
Hardly a lab rat.
[He gives this some thought.]
I would be tempted to use something more akin to acolyte or disciple, but you do not quite match up to such standards. However I assure you it is more humane than that. Worry not.
[Jeez it's not like he's experimenting on you or something sort-of-friend. And no comment on the looking into it too much apparently.]
[Is that a good thing or a bad thing, he's really not sure. Because he hardly wants to be an acolyte or a disciple but at the same time he doesn't like being told he's not up to snuff about something.]
I'm not worried, I'm just saying you could've worded that better. That's all.
[If you don't want to be either of those things accept it as good because if you complain, he will just make an effort to train you to become one of said things.]
Had I worded it any differently, I would have been lying to you. Observation is the most accurate description to use.
[What a liar. He's just using this as an excuse to hang out with Kuzuryuu more. If he's got an excuse like this, there's no way he can be turned down, after all.
...okay, half a liar. He may actually be serious about watching him for any power growth.]
Until they feel as though they're well rested or ready to wake back up. Sometimes it's only a few minutes, but they have been known to nap for an hour before.
[He watches the other boy for a moment.]
If you would like me to remove Maga-Z, I can do so.
[It's okay if you wanted to though. San-D knows you'll come back to pet her again. She knows she has you wrapped around her little finger! Of course, it's not like she can communicate this, nor would she if she could, so yes good. Continue petting her, human.]
When you desire to leave, or wish for him to vacate your suit, I will help. Though you could also likely coax him out on your own, should you wish.
