[That is... such a bad sense of humor. Stranger, you've definitely got to work on your one-liners — not that Touka is any better at them. But. You know. At least they're not that silly.

She huffs, softly.]

I've had worse, I suppose. [A beat.] ... Thanks.

[For not dropping her flat on her butt, that is. She was waiting for something like that to happen all the way down, because she's paranoid and ridiculous.]

okay here we go

[hoasen]

[from here!

She looks relieved when he says he is fine, so all is well.] I am still thankful that you came out of that unscathed then.

[She's not really one to laugh about stupid stories in the past, but she can appreciate them. Well, if it is told well, she would laugh about. For now, she could respect that they will never talk about this again.

When will she tell him she knows he's 1000% virgin though.]

It's quite difficult to deal with, yes, but we must do what we can. It is the only way we can make sure our world is peaceful. [If only she knew what his world is like! But he understands all too well.] What of yourself? What did you do originally?

[condoner]

[ akane gives him a firm and professional handshake before pulling away. ]

Yes, I am. You'd find that there are a lot of Japanese people here... though I'm sure we come from different versions of Japan.

[moribound]

Nice to meet you too, Yosuke-san. [The blocks are getting faster now but it's nothing Minato's ill-equipped to handle, though he does finger his Evoker, wondering if he should use his Persona.]

Don't see a problem with that, least it's not blocking our conversation. Anyway, ready for the next one?

[endgamer]

[As much as he knows it's not anyone's fault, Kagari can't help but feel frustrated by the way things are going. He shifts his his chair, agitated and unable to settle comfortably. ]

It's not-- it's not that simple, alright? Sybil's... look. Did you ever see that old movie, where the robot lady didn't know she was a robot and acted like she was totally normal?

[It's a stupid analogy, but it's all he has to go on for now, especially when it's not something he wants to be trying to explain in the first place. He shifts again, settling enough that he is only half looking at Gino when he speaks.]

Well, Sybil was like that, only it knew, it knew and it didn't care, so it could run the way it was supposed to but it could change its mind about things too. I'm still not sure if it could feel, but it sure could be determined enough to hack a Dominator and take out threats to itself.

[ Not an inaccurate assumption. "[person/thing] has an ability" is relatively standard explanation fare in his world. Sometimes it's most useful to keep to what one knows. Or in any event, it's most useful not to press where someone doesn't seem eager to give. That can set an unfortunate precedence when interesting things start happening again. ]

Call me Corazon. [ It's not the brightest smile in the world that he offers, but it's very genuine. ] I'm sure I have a few blisters, but nothing I'd worry about. You reacted pretty quickly!

[jawdacity]

[ it's a difficult question, given that rin's base skillset hasn't given him much insight into the inner workings of CERES. he's gathered information where he could, through those who have an easier time of it, but what he does know is scattered and difficult to string together.

rin continues to move forward, though he delays a step so that they're walking side-by-side. easier to have a conversation this way. ]

Nah. The only fighting we've done is through the ViViD battles - they told you about those, right? - and, well. Sometimes we get tossed into the virtual world and have to make our way out.

[ as sasuke likely just experienced. rin's reaction to the second question is more nuanced: he glances away, seemingly taking in the (bland) surroundings. ]

Well, I have a friend who was involved in a recent raid. I can put you in touch with her.

[ he's not a fighter. not yet. but that doesn't mean he's going to own up to his own weaknesses, not to a stranger who offers none in response. ]

Namur

[hasklutz]

[ from here ]

You've got some kind of attitude, punk!! [ Nailed it. Namur's totally not like 10 years older than him, he nailed it. He's in a yellow spandex jumpsuit, trying to collect physical manifestations of his own happy memories, being relentlessly pursued by ghost men who want to ruin his happy memories, and a pushy fishman is shouting directions to him from the sidelines.

Sometimes in life, a man gets called Clownshit and it's the least unusual thing happening.

And sometimes when an onlooker is offering free advice, it's better to take advantage of what he can get. As much as he's bitching about it, Corazon still turns on his heel with a frustrated growl. He tries not to think about how long he has until he trips and rolls into a full pack of ghosts. That line of thought always becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. ]

Damn it-! Fine! Which way to the next light?

[om_nom_namur]

Make yer headin' northwest by west an' y' damn well better be runnin' full sail!

[Does Namur stop to consider that maybe not everyone can taste north?

No. No he doesn't.]

Hiro

[hasklutz]

[ from here ]

[ ... holy shit, what a small kid. He'd thought about the possibility that kids would be entirely possible to extract to this place, or whatever the process may be, but he doesn't feel like he'll ever genuinely get used to seeing it in practice. Rosinante has a thoughtful frown on his face for a few moments while Hiro's friend (?? companion? suit of armor? ghost?) appears to catch him-- he certainly hopes that helping save an entire world from 'data corruption' isn't falling on one kid's shoulders alone.

With the apology, however, he schools his expression and waves one hand. ]

You don't need to apologize. I wasn't keeping an eye on my surroundings, so I made a little blunder. That's my fault. [ There's not really anything at eye-level to distract him, so there's no excuse for missing someone's approach apart from his own clumsiness. ]

So, sorry! Good thing someone caught you.

Kazuya

[hasklutz]

[ from here ]

[ ... add these suggestions to the growing list of things he'd never thought to consider. In all honesty, he knows better than to take them very seriously: there are more than enough mysteries in the world he comes from, but putting it up to a curse wouldn't accomplish much now.

Interesting to consider, though. ]

Curses, huh? You come from a place where that happens often? [ Considering it more deeply, he is mildly horrified. ]

Zoro

[hasklutz]

[ from here ]

[ Well, if he were drinking something, this is exactly the point at which he'd be spitting it all over the place. Good job that he's not. ]

J- just a minute! Law was a shichibukai?!

[ WHAT A ROLLER COASTER OF THINGS HE NEVER THOUGHT HE'D HEAR... ]

[thatdamnknight]

As humble as they come.

[whereas flynn's just having fun. showing off his bratty side isn't something that happens too often, after all.]

[yourotherleft]

Surprise?

[he doesn't mean to be an ass but that was kind of fun to spring on the poor guy]

I'm sure you'd find out pretty quick if he or anyone else from my crew showed up here anyway. Might as well tell you now.

Draco

[belfire]

((OOC: continued from here))

Ugh, my world...

[His tone said it all. Where did he even begin with his world? On the surface, it had been just your average, dull, non-magical world, where people were born, grew up, got a boring job, and then died. But beneath all that... he didn't really want to discuss it]

It's harsh. Demons on one side, humanity on the other, chaos in between and corpses underfoot. That's all I will say. [he waved his hand, as if to brush the subject aside] Anyway, enough about homes and stuff, I'm dying for some food. You wanna go get something?

[Be warned, he had an ulterior motive in inviting you...]

[belfire]

Well...

[Kazuya backed off slightly, suddenly looking a bit disgruntled at the question. That was gonna open a can of worms he was disinclined to answer, but there was no point outright ignoring the man. He sniffed and turned away, crossing his arms]

Something like that. Though, you can be cursed with different things, like... charmed to be someone's slave, or, cursed to never heal from a wound, or having your voice stolen, memories sealed, stuff like that. It isn't much of a stretch to think it could extend to luck too.

Intro Overflow!

Jason Todd

[dragonbadfaith]

((continued from here))

[Arches his eyebrows.]

Maybe you are. I've known you for five minutes, I suppose I really couldn't say.

[Uh-huh. Yeah, no indeed.

Draco shakes his head.]

It's not. I've been somewhere else for about two years now, but it was meant to be over. Something either went wrong, or...or what they said is actually correct and I've no place to return to.

[dragonbadfaith]

[Oblivious to this ulterior motive!! And sort of just blinking in surprise at that explanation of his home, so he just absently nods without really thinking about it.]

Demons again—oh, food? [Right on cue, his stomach grumbles.] ...Yes, I suppose I could eat. Just not seafood, I've eaten enough of that lately to last me a lifetime.

[belfire]

Oh, really? I was craving for some fatty tuna... oh well.

[He can adapt. If there was one thing Cerealia wasn't short of, it was food stands, especially with the rebuilding process at full force. Hungry labourers was good business, so hastily erected, or mobile stands, were practically everywhere]

There's plenty to choose from, so long as you have the credits.

[dragonbadfaith]

[Shakes his head.]

Been living on a ship for nearly two years, I'm well shot of all that.

[Though fatty tuna is different than what he's been eating and he thinks he wouldn't mind it, but he can't backtrack now!

He tips his head at that last thing.]

Credits? Oh, on that card thing they gave me?

[belfire]

Yup. That's where all your money goes.

[This guy was definitely new, then. Kazuya clapped his hands together, and he suddenly appeared cheery - a far cry from his earlier, grumpy self. Food had that effect on him]

It's really easy to use. Well, c'mon! Our food isn't gonna eat itself, y'know! [And then he began to to pretty much bully Draco out of the alleyway] Ah~ we should totally get some octopus pancake~ that doesn't count as seafood, just so you know! It's way too nice to refuse - oh, or I saw this new thing recently, called 'lavabread'. It's made out of seaweed but it's tasty too. Oh, and then-

[That's right, Draco, you've stumbled across a glutton (prone to dine n' dash at that). Watch your credits]

[dragonbadfaith]

[Kazuya needs to meet a certain pirate captain that Draco knows, who also happens to have just shown up in this world. They can squee over food together and never pay for anything!

For his part, Draco allows himself to be bullied around JUST THIS ONCE. But it's not like he knows where anything is anyway, and he'd be lying if he said he'd rather be alone right now. It's good having someone else around.]

Octopus? You can't be serious. And I'm fairly certain that only mermaids eat seaweed...

[Stumbles along to wherever Kazuya leads them, though after a moment he glances over at him.]

You never said your name.

[belfire]

Nuh uh. Seaweed is part of a healthy diet for humans too.

[At least, Kaz liked it a lot, and that's all he needed to know]

And you never said yours... unless I wasn't listening when you did. Whatever. I'm Kazuya Minegishi, or Kaz, as most people call me. You?
