Shinpachi

[keichan]

[ from here ]

[ He almost wants to be offended by that comment. Almost. It's a little hard to be offended when it's so clearly the truth, or when the guy saying it is going out of his way to be generous to him.

He feels like he should add that it's not that he hasn't fought before, just that he's only fought alongside the best friends and allies he could ask for. Together, they were greater than the sum of their parts, but on his own, he can't even hold a candle to them. ]

You don't need to apologize. I was trying to steal something... just a little bit so that nobody would miss anything, but for all you knew, I could've been trying to kill people in their sleep.

[ It's blunt, but honesty is probably the best policy right now. He sighs and props his elbows on his knees, resting his head in his hands. ]

There are things I'd fight for, but some stupid game like this isn't one of them.

[nostatus]

[ At least Shinpachi is working to get some of the food ready now. He still had a small fire going - it's annoying, since it attracts monsters, but it's not like he can't handle those when he tries - and so it's easy enough to start preparing some of the meat with it while he talks with Keiichi. If the kid really is hungry enough to resort to stealing despite seeming like a reasonable person otherwise, then he better not make him wait too long. ]

Yeah, don't fight for that. [ Because it's worthless. He remembers plenty of moments this place just fucked them over without any regard for their happiness or safety, so he isn't really feeling up to playing along with dumb ViViD levels anymore than necessary either.

He reaches over, patting Keiichi on the back - maybe a little too hard since he doesn't know his own strength at times, but there seems to be a fairly clearly friendly intention behind it. Shinpachi's too open to not show it. ]

Even though you're a kid, you're still a man, right? You gotta pick battles that are worthy of a man!

[ Careful, Keiichi, you're entering Manly Advice territory from a musclehead.. ]

[keichan]

[ If there's a guy who needs manly advice, it's Keiichi. Besides his old man, he's sorely lacking in the male confidant department. He can't really be picky about who it's from, but even if he could, the way Shinpachi talks is exactly the kind of man that Keiichi wants to be.

His expression becomes more stern and determined. Inspired, even. ]

Yeah!

Yeah! <small[ He nods emphatically, even as the pat to the back makes him jerk forward a little bit. ]</small> I should fight for the things I believe in and the people I care about, not some damn, twisted game...!

<small>[ He's getting fired up now, which might be a bad thing if Shinpachi's trying to keep the location of his camp a secret. But he hasn't gotten too loud quite yet.

Operative word: yet. Nobody does full-voiced excitement quite like Keiichi does. ]</small>

[nostatus]

[ Don't worry, Keiichi, Shinpachi understands the need for super loud excitement a lot.. Usually he's that person, after all. But he has a little more common sense when it comes to dangerous situations and acting appropriately in them..

.. but he can this one slide. Probably. So far there hasn't been anything around in this jungle that he couldn't take on one way or another, so he's not too afraid even if Keiichi's loudness manages to attract something or someone. He'll kick their ass - they can afford to have a little excitement.

(It's the best cure in these sort of shitty situations anyway, he figures.) ]

Hey, hey, kid! Sit down!

[ He's laughing even as he says it though, seemingly free of worries for a moment.. instead just amused by Keiichi's behaviour. ]

Gotta say, I'm impressed by your sudden manly spirit, but you might wanna tone it down a little bit before we're going to have to share this meat with the whole jungle.

omfg sorry about that html fail

[keichan]

[ His eyes go wide for a second, and then he realizes just why he's being gently chided and turns red. Yeah, he gets pretty amped up sometimes. A lot of the time, actually. And while it's not always a negative, today, it is.

Despite his embarrassment, he manages a smile, scratching the back of his neck self-consciously. ]

H-haha... you're right. Sometimes, the spirit takes over and I get a little carried away. But I'm inspired now, so it's hard to control!

[ He even feels like he could learn a thing or two about defending himself from this guy. Not that he wants to have to defend himself, as exciting as it might be, but if he's going to get thrown into crazy scenarios like this one, it might be a good idea to know how just in case. ]

IT'S OKAY.. it happens to the best of us

[nostatus]

[ If it helps, Shinpachi is at least not lecturing him more.. he's just heartily laughing as Keiichi smiles and gets a little less loud. Almost like he finds it kind of endearing - and he does! It reminds him of when he was younger.

(He's still like that, but.. you know, he can delude himself into thinking he actually grew up and became a real adult, ssh.) ]

Don't worry 'bout it.

[ And he does seem to genuinely mean it. Despite the fact that he's a sitting muscle mountain with a sword trying to cook some meat from animals he slaughtered, there's something a little more gentle (or at least more kind and open) about him as he speaks. ]

Not sure if right now's the time for you to get too inspired though. I'd say training outside this place would be a little more helpful before you run headfirst into actual danger. [ You know, before Keiichi gets eaten by one of the monsters here. It might be ViViD, and Shinpachi knows it's not entirely real, but.. still, he doesn't want to know what happens to anyone who'd die in here all the same. ]
