[As usual, it feels fruitless to try to argue with her. But that still feels nostalgic in a way.]

I did do that, didn't I? [Phoenix scratches at his head.] Don't worry, I'm fine, and I think I still have some more where that came from. I did eat my Wheaties this morning!

[He chuckles, but then his expression softens a little.]

But I'm glad you're alright. And... and, you still remember this place?

[roughcut]

[Well, that's a surprise. You don't meet too many women who flaunt sleeping around so openly where Kouha's from. His jaw drops open a bit in shock as he blinks, trying to process that.]

Wait, they let women go there if they aren't working? Never heard of that before... Maybe there's some upsides to this place, after all!

[It's official. Oona is the coolest girl he has met in this place so far, hands down. He smiles at her, and this time, it's full of flirtation.]

Didn't think a girl like you would have to pay for it if she was interested, though.

[roughcut]

[What.]

...You wanna run that by me again? Not being able to die is pretty much impossible, you know.

[feytality]

[Better get used to it, old man.]

You have such boring taste in cereal.... I can't believe you almost looked cool for a second, there. [Is that supposed to be a compliment? Well, it's... almost a compliment?]

[But she's straightening up to get a better look at him, now that the imminent threat of death is slightly less imminent. Is he looking okay? Did he get even older??]

What, you think I'd forget you going even more old and gray? C'mon! Did you age another ten years while I was [where was she, anyway?] gone?

[deathline]

[Shiki gives a distasteful look at Yusuke.]

Taking down nameless peons that aren't even real is nothing to brag about. If you want to get an inflated ego, be my guest.

[bewrightback]

[He feels that's as close to a compliment as he'll get, so he'll take that. And then lineface at the rest of what she has to say.]

H-hey. I still look pretty cool, you know! [He takes a moment to adjust his tie. He pretty much looks the same as he has throughout his time in the colony. No further aging happened. In fact, I- I feel even younger!

...It hasn't really been that long that you've been gone. [But so much happened. And... so much might have happened. To you.]

[thispubliclife]

If you're certain.

[Ky won't protest any further, because he's keeping an eye on the crowd and the dangers unfolding there.]

[damfool]

Nice try, sister. But if I have to hunt for fish with a shoe for a bait, so do you.

[ And more importantly. ]

Besides, it's no fun fishing alone. [ Aren't they supposed to shoe-fishing buddies?? ]

[mombastic]

I've seen quite a few impossible things. Including the dead returning to life here, though not without some consequences.

[cryptologic]

Maybe not all that fancy, but pretty powerful.

[ Considering the whole forest-leveling business. He still looks a little skeptical. That can't be all there is to it, is there?

But his question was answered, so he'll do the same. Not that he generally minds running his mouth about the veritable cornucopia of weird things he's seen in his short life. Heck, in the last six months. ]

How about all of the above? Cerealia's got plenty of weirdness going on about it, too.

[leashed_hunter]

[The bad thing - a spear is thrown at their backs - the good thing - the warning has a silver vine slamming it away from them as they keep moving away from the fight and to more neutral territory. Once the fighters are a distance away Zero comes to a stop and peers over the kid as he retracts the vines and slides Bloody Rose back into his gun holster underneath his uniform.]

.....

[roughcut]

[Speaking of mcstabbins, Kouha is feeling pretty stabby at the moment. What the hell kind of place did he get himself into this time?]

--They're making us their spies!?

[There are so many things wrong with this situation, but that one makes his hands fly to his face. As disgusting and painful as it'd be, he's tempted to try tearing out his own eyeballs right now.]

Can we go live in that sanctuary or whatever for a while? Because I am not letting someone use my eyes to spy on people!

[roughcut]

I'm not in your space, i~di~ot!

[Well, not yet, because that gives him a fantastic idea. Apparently, Leon didn't learn his lesson about turning his back on Kouha yet, he takes advantage of the opportunity and backs up a few feet like he's going to walk away. When he's far enough back, he turns, takes a running start, and slides (baseball-style) into Leon's vulnerable legs. If he's lucky, Leon will go down like a set of bowling pins.]

Now, I am! See the difference?

[discard]

[AND DOWN HE GOES just like a set of bowling pins, yep. He's only 5'2", he doesn't have a lot of height or weight to keep himself upright with a blow like that.

He hits the floor face first with a resounding thud.

And it honestly takes him a moment to push himself up, and when he does, there's slow, fiery, intensive murder in his eyes.

He lifts his sword at Kouha then, glowering (and lip bleeding from where he accidentally bit it when he smacked his face against the floor).]

It would appear you did not learn from your mistakes the first time. Allow me to teach you with the edge of my blade!

[Yeah he's... he's not going to hesitate now, he's pissed. He's going to be throwing another Grave arte Kouha's way, the stalagmite shooting straight from the ground towards him, and in the same breath he's launching himself forward to swing his sword down at Kouha's head with a quick, sharp movement.]

[prosecutory]

[Do I look like I have a tiara, Maya? Fish don't even eat tiaras!]

You're better off using live bait. A worm, or an insect.

[He's going to expect her to object to that. Maybe they should have a plan B that doesn't require any bait. Or forget fishing altogether.]

Anyway, what's the last thing you remember before you arrived here?

[pickoffs]

[ He drawls: ] Yeah, it's a real honor to get picked.

[ He only dimly remembers BR's plotline because what is pop culture when you could be playing sports, or something, but his surprisingly friendly elbow assailant isn't wrong.

He isn't wrong on his guess, either, and Kazuya laughs weakly. ]

That obvious, huh?

[pickoffs]

Yeah, sure.

[ this guy is even more distracting than possible incoming death, with the yelling and all. but he's more than used to hot-blooded idiots yelling their heads off all the time.

he's a little less used to feeling so useless, but seriously, how's he supposed to compete with dragon swarm?

mostly said to himself: ] Is the yelling a kiai thing, or what?

[ is this weird fantasy karate??

he's not so distracted he misses his pursuer's ugly friend, but it's one of the ones with fewer legs and less immediately dangerous sharp appendages, so ducks under one attack and thrusts the polearm up through its chest.

which sadly doesn't seem to be enough to kill it immediately, but it does seem to be a deterrent, and it stumbles back. he'd follow it as it drags itself back into the trees, but that seems like a bad idea. ]

[adornmental]

[KOUHA PLEASE. Kashuu will naturally attempt to stop him if he actually tries...]

Um... I don't think so. I think the stuff in there that breaks the contact between us and CERES makes us sick after a while, too. So, like. You'll be there, but you'll be barfing all the time.

[NOT FUN. Taking breaks is probably best, even though it's definitely creepy and weird and invasive to be used as the eyes for the company.]

We'll probably find a way to break contact without needing to go somewhere eventually, but for now we're just stuck with this.

[pickoffs]

[ The tattoos are - distracting, and a little weird, but Naoki seems normal enough, besides the tornado thing. Besides, he's busy snickering at this point. ]

I could deal with the jungle, it's the rest of the company that's the real problem. I dunno who they polled, but ugly, toothy and out for blood's not exactly second date material.

[pickoffs]

[ The proper bow makes him feel even more out of place, but the introduction sets the gears in his head turning. The name is vaguely familiar, but he chalks it up to his tendency to not pay attention in history class. ]

Haha, well, you're better than me already. [ Curiously: ] Are you a priest?

[pickoffs]

Who picked what got backed up, because you'd think they'd pick better people than just us...

[ Seeing as both of them are assholes.

He nods. ]

Me too. Taught me how to use this stupid thing, even. [ He rocks his wrist up and down to move the spear across his shoulder so it's obvious. ]

[pickoffs]

Delinquent-looking attorneys sound terrifying.

Me? I'm just your friendly [ debatable ] neighborhood baseball player.

[psycholawgy]

[ catch some fish?

she grimaces. . . ]

Miss Maya, I think it would be better if we just logged out.

[psycholawgy]

Well, friendly neighbourhood baseball player, you won't survive here if you don't have balls of steel!

[ did she really just say that? SHE JUST SAID THAT. ]

[unswerved]

Hell, if you think it's so easy, why don't YOU try it?!
