Raidou rolled his shoulders, pivoted on his peg and went back around the bar. "Everyone says that but they don't really have any idea. Oh, hello skull, you can be my lucky dead guy head, I lost the other one I had. Okay, it was actually a button but it was a really lucky button you know that and he was sensitive about being a button and not a head and It's just been a very bad day, you know? I bet you know the dead just watch that what they told me once, the mermaids said that the dead watch the living and wait for the end and," he picked the skull up and lobbed it into the pile Damn escaping skulls, trying to roll to freedom!
He paused at the edge of the bar, where he could still see new guy with gun. "You should know that thing won't do you any good less you're really good with it, and you're hugging it like a pacifier so you're probably not good enough." Raidou smiled, then looked at the pile, brought up his hands.
"Yakedo no Justu," he said, almost a whisper.
The twist of fire between his hands whispered back.
"Kasei no jutsu," he mumbled to his little fireball, and it snarled and purred in his hands. "Kasou,"
Jutsu stacking, the one thing he'd learned here that might have applied in his old life.
He shoved it towards the dead, and the dry sacks the bones were wrapped in caught like wax soaked rags doused in oil and rum.
The flames went from red to blue to laughing.
Raidou tilted his head. Laughing was new. Oh, look, shapes in the smoke. "Look, they're free now," he said, grinning like the loon he was.
