[i hope if he thinks the vibe is awful he just leaves
anyway, it's alright. she's not a mess like yesterday - her hand is bandaged and she's just chilling on the beach, looking out over the waves. her usual cheer is dimmed, but this time she has a smile for him when she spots him.]
[thank you gojo for telling her she's a video game character
she will take the stick though, and start drawing the worst portraits of people you've ever seen. stick figure rondo. stick figure astarion. stick figure geto.]
Not long, actually. Month or two? Feels like longer. How long's that for you, I don't know the years for your schools.
[ ............ how would he be able to tell which is which. he's trying so hard. ]
It does look like you guys know each other for ages, but it must be the stuff you all went through. [ Just assuming. ] It'd mean I knew Suguru for about two years, Shoko over that.
[I DON'T KNOW rondo has a mullet. astarion has fangs. geto has big baggy clothes??? help me]
Sometimes just a couple weeks is all you need when you're in mortal fucking peril, yeah. [she nods, though.] The three of you are a bit like that at all? With the mortal peril.
[...]
Gods, the mortal peril I wish you all didn't have to go through. It's fucked up. [babies...]
[ this is good enough he can at least tell astarion. ]
Yeah, sometimes, not all the time. [ When she starts thinking about them as babies, he looks up to her. ] It's normal in our field of work, but I do think we could use more support. Sometimes it feels like the higher-ups don't really give a damn.
Hey, but it means we have some mortal peril stories we can both share!
It's not only us out there, but... [ Starts drawing the infinity sign. ] I never asked myself that question. Suguru and I are the strongest, so it seemed stupid and useless to think about.

Enjoying the sunset, jumbo shrimp?
no subject
Damn right I am, shrimpy. [warmly!] I missed it. The beach, I mean. It's been an age.
no subject
[ Except not really....... What can he do........ Whine and complain to someone taller than him and had a traumatizing experience earlier? ]
It's been a while for me, too. Too much work.
no subject
[suguru like i've changed my mind karlach is dead to me]
Too much work? What's that even mean?
no subject
A lot of missions at home... Not enough free time.
[ Starts drawing on the sand with a nearby stick. ]
no subject
[that makes more sense.]
You and Suguru do the same missions? I've only got a slight idea of how it goes for you guys. [watches him draw...]
no subject
[ He is drawing a bunch of them boiling a goat god in a cauldron. For some reason, there is just a cat. Not Izutsumi, just a random cat. ]
Do you have a team? Doing whatever you do.
no subject
Sort of? I found most of them on the side of the road. Found Gale in a rock. Astarion tried to stab me and I headbutt him in the nose.
no subject
[ Maybe art replicates life from another world. He will give Karlach a stick so they can doodle!! ]
How long you've been with them? Suguru was a second year transfer, but I've known our classmate, Shoko, since my first year.

[ He really is so nonchalant. ]
no subject
[she says, amused. but.]
I don't know, just think it's rotten to put you in charge of saving people. Who saves you, you know? Who looks after you?
no subject
It's not only us out there, but... [ Starts drawing the infinity sign. ] I never asked myself that question. Suguru and I are the strongest, so it seemed stupid and useless to think about.
[ Past tense in some places. ]
no subject
I don't think it is. Even the strongest people need backup. A break.
no subject
[ Throws him under the bus. ]
He's always yammering about doing good and saving people, but that gets tiring eventually. I think his ego would be hurt if he couldn't keep going.
no subject
[but this makes how he acted make a little more sense.]
I don't think either one of you know what to do when I tell you that it shouldn't be just on you. I know that doesn't change anything, but still.
no subject
[ Said a stubborn bitch. ]
At least I'm listening? I don't know what it'll look like, but... I'm thinking of how to change that for people who come after me.
no subject
[sigh. stubborn bitches!! but.]
That's -- good of you. [she says, looking at him.] It is. But that doesn't help you now, is all I'm saying.
... Not that I can say anything. I'd be doing the same.
no subject
[ Stubborn bitches need life jackets and those are friends. At least he understands allies and comrades.
Hands on his hips, stick still in hand. ]
Think you can imagine me as a teacher?
no subject
she glances over at him, and then:]
Sure, I think so. An annoying one, but I could see it. [teasing!!]
no subject
If the teacher is good at teaching, it doesn't matter how annoying he is.
