[sup unitmate! guess who]

-- King!

Mars!

[ RELIEF!!!!!

- Except he pulls up short when he sees the remnants of the wounds........... uh y i k e s ]

[he's fine??? he's fine!!]

[stepping towards King, surveying him for wounds as well]

How many rounds have you been in so far?

Just one.

[ SURE BUDDY

He has no visible injuries, at least not in this form. He does look a a little wild-eyed and lacking some of his usual composure, though. ]

You?

. . . five. Counting this one.

[he delivers the answer blandly, without an ounce of inflection in his tone]

[ ????????? ???? ? ? ? ? ]

Five?

And they didn't even let me keep my damn cigarettes.

[said like that's the most important thing, here]

[ Mars... ]

How many times have you died?

[god damn it King]

Are you going to answer that question yourself?

I can't die.

[ IT'S VERY

VERY

V E R Y BAD, MARS. ]

[that's what he thought]

I won't ask if you don't.

[not yet. too soon. there's too much going on]

Later. When this is all over.

[ Right. Why talk about it now anyway, when surely more horrors await anyway? ]

Fair enough.

[ The avoidance does answer him in non-specific terms, though. ]

☆ZRAEL is stabbing first, asking questions later. Some guy on Wild City did something stupid to the puppets in the theater in my first round? He probably used the fucking genie, now that I think about it.

I kind of remember the layout of this place, but I haven't moved around too much.

[because he keeps getting drawn into fights]

If you want to go together, I'll guide as best as I can.

[ What is "the fucking genie" - ok you know what, does it matter what anyone on Wild City does at any given time? No. ]

I'd prefer to stay close to you and Hiryuu. And I'm not leaving Yugi, either.

[glances around and notices Raijuu, too]

Hiryuu will want Raijuu to come with us, and I bet Raijuu will want to travel with his unitmate.

. . . we'll be a pretty big party, but maybe that's for the best.

Good. A deterrent is fine with me.

[laughs, eyes lighting up a bit]

I don't know; I could go for another fight.

[Mars look in a mirror]

Don't worry. If what you say about Zrael is true, and I expect that it is, you won't go without.

[then again, both Man Eater and Requiem did like. . . immediately run away from him when he saw them again after said fights]

. . . I guess we'll see.

[shifts from one foot to the next, a bit jittery]

You said you have some idea of the layout of this place, right? I have no objections if you lead the way.

[oh my god SUDDEN RESPONSIBILITY]

I-- all right.

Let's get moving, though. We're sitting ducks, here.

[ Gesturing for him to take the lead. CONGRATS ON YOUR PROMOTION! ]

[Y. . . YAY?]

[unsure how he feels about this]

[when everyone is ready, he'll be heading out?]
