Re: THE SCRAPYARD

[syncintohell]

[ startles

tho at Mori's words he'll just assume ONLY C has seen the labyrinth ]

The Labyrinth?! But I have been there and saw nothing of the sort— where within did you come upon this sight? And who was it, who lay there, cruelly dismantled?! If it were Maki or even Eve I could imagine some sort of provocation, but there are others who would never be deserving of such inhumanity!

Re: THE SCRAPYARD

[neigh_sayer]

It's a Labyrinth, you can't see all of it at once, and I don't have a map. I must have taken a turn to a dead end. . .literally!

Anyway, I booked it the heck out of there! I couldn't tell who exactly it was. . .oh wait, I saw fur, so probably Okami? And some short hair and paint. . .maybe it was just blood!

Wheeeew, it gives me a headache to remember, so that's all I got!

[PUTS A HAND ON C'S SHOULDER]

CB-kuuuuuuuuun.

Re: THE SCRAPYARD

[asonoficeandfire]

[what is even going on, C why do you do this]

I thought you started out by the temple.

Re: THE SCRAPYARD

[syncintohell]

[ nods to C's— friend, presumably? ]

I do not wish to force him to linger on unpleasant recollections much longer. Worry not, I wish to know just one more thing. Which way did Azrael go? I must take this matter up with them personally.

Re: THE SCRAPYARD

[neigh_sayer]

You can get to the labyrinth by taking a right at the Temple! You guys never went there with me.

[BUT;; SWEATS what up mori]

Uuuum, they shouted something about going back to Shibuya--there's an area that kinda looks like it, so that's your best bet.

We're trying to get AWAY from them so. . .sorry, I can't help you. But I'll be rooting for you, for sure!

Re: THE SCRAPYARD

[syncintohell]

Very well, I will continue onwards. I will not forget your aid.

[ TO THE RIGHT AGAIN ]

[worthathousand]

[ —arriving here, now. in addition to her lance, there's now a very healthful-looking potion tied to her belt.

Amaranth looks a bit startled to see so many people here. ]

...Oh, ah. Hello again, C.
[ she turns to Shu-whose-name-she-doesn't-know ] I'm sorry, ah—I did not intend to follow you.

[ferociousfuckingnerd]

[He was going to try to stop Shu but he rushes off and now there's that other lady]

-Ah! Um, wait - hello?

[asonoficeandfire]

[looks at C like you just sent him on a wild goose chase. and then more people? turning his attention to the newcomer too]

Ah...

[worthathousand]

Hello again to you too.

[ this is so uncomfortable. are they supposed to kill each other now? to mori: ] You are... in the hero unit? And a friend of C?

This is an unfortunate way to meet.

[ even so, a polite bow to both of them ] I am Amaranth.

[neigh_sayer]

[waving off Shuuuu--WHY DO MORE PEOPLE KEEP POPPING UP]

Ah! The kind new Lilis! You just missed it, more weird puppets appeared and started chasing and stabbing another guy! Better be careful, this area isn't safe!

[ferociousfuckingnerd]

CB-kun quit it already!

[Turns to look at Amaranth, exasperated]

Ah, it's, nice to meet you Amaranth-san, I'm Mori. Yes, we're friends.

[asonoficeandfire]

[nodding to her as well]

I'm Duality.

[worthathousand]

[ just kind of.... slow glance at C. this is way less cute outside a Live, child. ]

[ to Mori: ] I... get the impression that it's a very exciting friendship.
Well, I'm glad to meet both of you. Or... well. It would be better to not meet people here, but even so.

[ she bites her lip a moment ] Do you have a plan for this game?

[ferociousfuckingnerd]

[Wry smile at 'exciting friendship', that quickly falls.]

My plan was to find these two, and ideally any teammates we might have around here, and avoid unnecessary fights.

[neigh_sayer]

[this is him 24/7 ur welcome]

I think the plan was for you to leave and us to drive away! Because. . .

[slaps Mori on the chest!! and raises Duality's arms!!]

You're totally outmatched! In one corner, you have the super human heroic husk of a person, Mori-chan! Capable of crushing you with a single blow if he reeeeally felt like it.

And over here we have the Icey Inventor of Future is Now! If he can create a car with trash, you don't wanna see what he can do with a gun.

Weeeeeeell?

[asonoficeandfire]

[so very deadpan, with a brief huff at C!!!]

I have no plans on using the gun. I was going to find these two, same as him [nods to Mori] and stay out of fights.

[worthathousand]

[ she narrows her eyes at C ]

If you do intend to fight, I will defend myself, of course.

[ glancing back to Mori, and then Duality ] ...Though I'm not sure if I would call this fight necessary. I would rather not deal with one of those enhanced firewands if possible.

[ferociousfuckingnerd]

[Scruffs C with one hand, tossing him over his shoulder]

Well, I think that's enough of that, we're all on the same page it seems! So let's agree no fighting, good luck avoiding trouble Amaranth-san.

[neigh_sayer]

[lksajdsk okay is quiet]

[asonoficeandfire]

[thank u mori]

I agree. We have no intention of fighting anyone, if we can help it.

[worthathousand]

[ she nods, almost businesslike. two of the children are Good Children. ]

Do you think it is true, that the hosts will see to it that groups are separated to encourage fighting? I was with John Doe earlier, and he was attacked out of nowhere by knife-wielding dolls. He said he believed that was the reason.

[ferociousfuckingnerd]

. . .

I saw that. I think that the hosts will encourage us to fight whether we're together, or alone. They like whatever will make it more exciting. Heart Soldier Senshi has a power that means we gain more power the more friends we have around us, so the producers wouldn't have a reason to separate me from my friends if they want to see a good fight from my unit.

[neigh_sayer]

It's true, I'm basically just a booster pack along for the ride.
