[ Important new knowledge: his brother became a shichibukai. Law and his allies are fighting him. Theoretically, he should have more than enough to put together a rough idea of what Law's behavior and strange decisions are about.

He'd like to think it isn't a deliberate turn in events. Hell, he'd like to have any real idea of what's going on. ]

Of all the questionable decisions he could possibly make-- [ What's so difficult to retain about "you shouldn't be around him"? What's not to understand? Chock it up to being more afraid of his brother than anything else, no matter how long he lives or what else he sees. ]

What the hell does he think he's doing?

[ KIDS. UGH. If he sees Law again, he's punching him. Thinking about punching him. Probably hugging him. Whatever. ]

[flaredo]

To the apartments! Chances are you'll be staying there for awhile.

[ Yes, truly terrifying... ]

[sewayaku]

[ it's true... he needs to accept his fate. ]

... I don't know. [ an honest answer. According to CERES, they've all been destroyed. But he thinks CERES is full of it. That, and he absolutely refuses to believe that Fiona is gone. It just couldn't happen. For his own sanity, it couldn't have happened. ]

I want to believe that they're all right, but I've no evidence of anything. That all of us are here and alive is encouraging, at least.

[yourotherleft]

I take it you know Doflamingo, then. At least by reputation.

[understatement, yes. What Zoro don't know won't hurt him...]

Like I say, it's a long and convoluted story. At least it was probably nearing the end of a chapter when I got whisked here.

RIN-SAN~!!!

[theoreitical]

[Small favors, at least, Rin doesn't seem to be pushing the point, and the platitude dies there. He still feels a modicum of guilt over his awkward arrival, to be sure, but mistakes are meant to be learned from, and they move quickly on. He won't harp unnecessarily, and he's thankful for the unspoken forgiveness (or so he assumes).

He tries, uselessly, to wring out his sweater--which is just the right amount of beautiful, thanks Rin--but the porous fabric doesn't yield much and and contrarily continues to drip onto the ground. There's nothing to be done for it until it's left to dry properly, instead of stuck clinging awkwardly to chilled, water-slick skin.

At Rin's offer, the sweater is forgotten and he's practically beaming as he stumbles over that thank you. Friends, definitely. The affirmation is more of a point of comfort than he wants to think about, but it's all written very plainly on his face. His heart isn't even sewn onto his sleeve, it just sits there, open and waiting in his chest, as if he's never had much reason to seal it off.

He does sober up somewhat at the follow up, and waits until they begin walking to phrase the first question that comes to mind.]

I thought I saw Makoto-senpai...ah. Earlier. [easier than trying to verbalize the experience in ViViD] Is he also here?

[Haruka too, he reminds himself, as he recalls Makoto's "explanation," but then, he knows enough for that to basically be one and the same question. Usually. His first question, of course, prioritizes his friends first. He knows CERES' explanation is worth less than the sense it makes, but its importance pales in comparison.]

[cryptologic]

[ lksmfds ANY RESIDUAL GRATITUDE HE HAD FOR THIS GUY HAS COMPLETELY EVAPORATED. ]

Why am I even having this conversation with you?!

[ he throws up his hands and starts to march huffily away. ]

[theoreitical]

[He waves the platitude about his name off:] It's not that beautiful, but I hope I put it to good use! [Rei, please.]

[He laughs awkwardly; friendships are not something he eases into with grace; they're either relationships of convenience, or in the case of his swim team, something that takes a considerable amount of cajoling.]

T-Thank you! Though I feel yours is far more fitting. [It evokes a feeling, beyond that he'd be out of sorts to explain it. Literary theory may explain metaphor, but he's terrible at using it.

Then, another laugh, softer this time and less forced.] But yes, that would be nice. By all means, please lead the way.

[We all know he'd just get lost on his own.]

[cryptologic]

...Actually, my bad luck seems to kind of...roll into other bad luck. Like a big bad luck streak.

[ and with how his day had started out? he's pretty genuinely surprised he didn't break his neck falling out of that tree. ]

Uh - thanks. I'm pretty glad myself. I'm Dipper, by the way.

[babermetrics]

. . . I don't get it. If you can explain how to swim, why can't you swim?

[He doesn't exactly get how it works, either; this is a guy who can't even a little bit explain his own genius-level baseball skill, or advise anyone else in the sport. To him, being able to explain how is way, way harder than just doing it. He's completely baffled, too confused to worry about the face she's pulling at him--he just looks dubious back.]

[adornmental]

[He does look suitably impressed! Though he also waves that second comment off...]

That's probably the only thing you'd like about him if you actually met him. [Little does he know, said gloomy guy arrived this round... WHAT LUCK.]

So he's that kinda guy, huh? The super important kind! I guess his weird little glitchy sign makes more sense, then. It said king of the wolves or something like that!

[Fancy that, he really is a wolf king...]

[horsepoop]

Really? [THAT'S EVEN BETTER. Namazuo looks pleased by this news!] Would you happen to know who's in charge of it?

[overgrowth]

[ bye dude. kanda will probably insult him at another time, in another place, but for now he's free. he grunts at his back and walks off in the way he was going in the first place before he bullied a child. ]

[titled]

Aa. Every stronghold has its weaknesses, as well. Not even the castle could keep us out.

[Though he wouldn't advocate doing that kind of attack so abruptly again-- surprises like that only work the once, besides. Next time, it will be a much more organised assault.

But those plans can come later...]

[particularity]

I'm not sure... But I think if you wanted to practice there, there isn't anyone you need to ask or anything.

[zerotohiro]

I am not fast. [The quip comes easily. Baymax doesn't want Rosinante to have the wrong idea! And Hiro rolls his eyes and addresses the bot.] You're fast on some things, buddy.

[Looking back at the man, he peers around him looking for where he might have come out.] You're not the first person who's told me that. Most things in the colony are a little less intensive than the games…usually. There're some exceptions. [He gestures to pieces of the city that are visibly damaged.] You just missed one.

[waterboy]

Uh. Sure, we were. Yeah, and I bet I was-

[Wait.]

What did I do-?! From the look of it, you stole delicious meat! No wonder they're mad at you!

[waterboy]

What?! No... No, this isn't what dying is like. [Not that he's ever died before but he's like, 99% sure this isn't what it's like.]

Dipper - intro overflow

[72hr]

[Link is also looking ahead as they run - and he can see that faint glow, too. Not good... and if it doesn't emerge before they get there, driving them back in the direction they came, it will probably pass out as they pass. Maybe in the best case scenario they can go down the other way at the fork, but even then it will chase them, and be very close behind.

Link's expression changes. Through his huffing and running, his eyes narrow and harden and he presses his lips together, almost defiantly.}

Up here - go right, okay? [He looks at Dipper, not smiling anymore.] And just keep going.

[There's no time to explain beyond that. He draws his sword, the polished metal managing to glint in the low light, and he sprints ahead to gain some extra ground.

He sees the ghost in time to slow down and stop. If Dipper listens, he'll run past them and down the next hallway. If not - or if he's too slow to pass them in time - he'll be treated to the sight of the ghost turning slowly to gaze at Link. With a steady step forward, Link raises his sword and swings it down hard at the ghost - but deftly darts backwards and counters, grabbing Link's sword arm with one hand.]

[72hr]

Y-You didn't have to tell me that.

[Link gapes at Yosuke's ethereal hand and doesn't know what to say. What are you... supposed to do in this situation? This doesn't feel good. Link doesn't like this feeling. He doesn't know what's going on, or how to help him, or how to fix it.]

Can... Can I see it again?

[The only thing to do is... try to learn. That's how he's tackled these situations in the past and that's all he can do now, too. He looks up at Yosuke, his childish face making the question sound more sweet and innocent that Link really is, as he holds his hands out.]

[72hr]

[Any smile would put Link at ease again, and Corazon's is bright. He smiles back, and without hesitating, takes a seat on the bench next to him.]

Haha, yes, well... it's what anyone would do if they saw someone on fire. How did that even happen, anyway?

[As he talks, he can't help but look at the guy's massive size. That's what drew his attention to this man in the first place. Link is pretty tiny, even for his age, so he fit on the space left on the bench, but it wasn't a lot of space.]

[dontsaygou]

[ What a ridiculous question. There's lots of theory behind swimming and it's one thing to know that. But doing it? Actually getting in the pool and putting those muscles to use and propelling yourself around the pool? No can do. And she has little desire to actually attempt. ]

I just can't! There are lots of things people can explain but can't do, it's not that weird.

[meatthefuture]

Oh so it's a mystery door. What do they feel like?

[sheesh this potato was picky]

What about just P-mon then?

[meatthefuture]

Sword spirit... [he pushes more blocks into place] Hey, you should talk to Zoro if he's here. He has swords with spirits too.

[meatthefuture]

haha yep! But you left pretty early.

[blinks]

Oh right! That! haha you're right! [reaches into his shorts and pulls out a sausage that he proceeds to chow down on] Iffint fiff faffe foof fo?
