[Coming in from the urban jumble shortly and heading directly for the box. She rolls a 2.]

[ gggglancing over. there's blood smeared over his face, near his nose and mouth, and a large bloodstain on the area of his white dress shirt near the shoulder. ]

Yo.

Re: THE DEAD CENTER

[rollplayinghouse]

[Maki looks entirely unscathed. Exactly what that means is unclear.]

...Hey. Rough time?

Re: THE DEAD CENTER

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ a shrug ]

There've been ups and downs. Looks like you've been handling yourself just fine, unless you're a fresh new face.

Re: THE DEAD CENTER

[rollplayinghouse]

No, this is my third time.

Re: THE DEAD CENTER

[carnivorouscarnival]

Oh, well how about that. Same here.

Re: THE DEAD CENTER

[rollplayinghouse]

Hm. I didn't see you before... I wonder how many times there have been so far.

Re: THE DEAD CENTER

[carnivorouscarnival]

Though I guess the real question is how many more times there are gonna be.

Re: THE DEAD CENTER

[rollplayinghouse]

Yeah. There's no telling when they'll be satisfied.

Re: THE DEAD CENTER

[carnivorouscarnival]

Well, I'm satisfied, so they'll just have to live with what they've got.

. . .

Seen any other ☆ZRAELs around, by chance? Or anyone else of importance.

Re: THE DEAD CENTER

[rollplayinghouse]

Not this time. I ran into Requiem and Doodleman last time... we got into a bit of a fight.

...By the way, don't hurt him, please. [gestures at X] Or there may be consequences.

Re: THE DEAD CENTER

[carnivorouscarnival]

Is that so? No telling who they'd fall on, though.

[ less a declaration of actual intent and more an expression of confidence ]

Re: THE DEAD CENTER

[rollplayinghouse]

I could tell you.

[likewise]

Re: THE DEAD CENTER

[idolpro]

[ Piano - This item has no mechanical effect. ]

Re: THE DEAD CENTER

[rollplayinghouse]

[WHY]

I would have preferred a gun.

[liftoft]

There are wires, right? And, uh, hammers? I dunno what to do with that thing..

[ gestures at his..motor boat... ]

[rollplayinghouse]

There are also guns and axes and that kind of thing... I don't think these are going to help much. Unless you have the shrinking skill?

[sigh. we're doing great.]

[liftoft]

Yeah I do! I dunno why though--I've never bought it, but I can use it here. You think I should take the boat and the piano?

[rollplayinghouse]

Interesting. It couldn't hurt, I guess.

[while he does that, she's going to go over to talk to Raijuu, and come back with a large scroll which reads:

"Oath of the Loyal: For so long as you swear loyalty to me and stay by my side, may you be granted glory and strength."]

This might help too.

[liftoft]

[ peers at it ]

Woah... this is pretty serious, huh?

[rollplayinghouse]

...All of the areas around here seem to give advantages to certain units' abilities. Like, that city is most useful if you can grow and shrink yourself, right? There was a temple with a bunch of these... it seems like a Taisho contract.

[liftoft]

Huh...y'know, I don't think I've really ever heard about all of Taisho's stuff.

Anyway, what do I need to do? Swear to be with you forever?

[rollplayinghouse]

N-Not forever!

Just... sign it, and you'll get strength as long as you do stay with me, I think...

[liftoft]

Like, physically with you, or...?

[rollplayinghouse]

...I assume so, yes...
