Re: THE SHIBUYA SCRAMBLE

[phoni]

I think I could, I'm pretty strong.

[ cracks her fingers. ]

[worthathousand]

[ She looks up at the buildings, evaluating the climb. ] As am I, it seems.

And I think we'll appreciate the vantage point. [ turning to Iris ] Would you be comfortable holding on to one of our backs? I don't want to risk you falling.

[rootoflove]

That's fine, if you think you can...

[and then moreau showed up hmm]

[phoni]

[ what a trustworthy looking man. ]

He must have gotten here just before we did.

[worthathousand]

[ Still warily eying the newcomer (what are your intentions regarding my perfect unit mates, sir, Amaranth approaches Iris— ]

If, ah, we're ready to go... just wrap your legs around my back, and hold your arms around my neck and shoulders...

(( roll strength 11: 3 / 3/ 4 — pass ))

[rootoflove]

Um, y-yes!

[blushing a little but clinging on to amaranth like a baby sloth]

[worthathousand]

Ah... [ seeing Iris's blush makes her blush too, but she tries to keep her expression Serious and Responsible ]

...good. Gladiolus? Do you want to bring your, ah... friend?

[ starting to climb ]
(( roll strength 11: 4 / 4 / 5 – pass ))

[phoni]

I'll see what he wants to do!

[ watches her start climbing, also a little red cheeked herself. ]

[rootoflove]

[just going to be clinging to amaranth, a little scared but also kind of enjoying the adventure]

[worthathousand]

[ Once she's in the swing of things, the climb is... well, not easy, but straightforward enough, with the evenly spaced handholds on the buildings.

Almost to the top, now... ]

[phoni]

[ ASSUMING MOREAU DIDN'T COME WITH gladiolus starts climbing a little bit after they do.

rolled 1 3 6, so she succeeds. ]

[rootoflove]

[once they do get to the top, she'll be sliding off of amaranth's back and sitting down]

...Whew. That was exciting!

[worthathousand]

[ Amaranth heaves herself and Iris over the edge of the top of the building, setting Iris down and finally allowing herself to risk vertigo by looking down to check on Gladiolus—

—who is totally ace-ing this. Amaranth is so proud. She turns back to Iris. ]

I'm... I'm glad! It was a risk, admittedly.

Here, let me just... [ she concentrates a moment, then there is a small fort summoned onto the roof along with them ]

Gods, it really did work, even without having purchased it.

[phoni]

[ Gladiolus' climb goes smoothly so she reaches the top quickly, pulling herself onto the roof with a laugh. she doesn't notice the cottage right away. ]

That was fun!

[rootoflove]

...Oh!

[SUPER IMPRESSED]

It's so cute...

[worthathousand]

[ a pleased flush ] I thought it might not be a bad idea to have shelter, up here...

It seems the interview awarded me access to Cut-Tongue Sparrow and Adventures in Wonderland for my answers, besides the Juniper Tree which I bought for myself.

Do either of you have access to our unit's abilities?

[phoni]

I have the Juniper Tree! I bought it before this.

[ also looks impressed! ]

That was smart of you, Amaranth!

[rootoflove]

I bought Adventures in Wonderland before the game...

[since cute cottages are important]

But that really was a smart move! I'm glad you're here with us, Amaranth.

[worthathousand]

Oh... [ blush blush, doki ] ...well. I'm glad I am, too. If I can keep us all safe, that's the most important thing.

[ to Gladiolus- ] I don't know if I was really smart, I just... found it useful to stop and think about which of our abilities I should prioritize buying, and why.

[phoni]

I think you were. And are.

[ she beams. ]

Wanna go inside?

[rootoflove]

-I want to go inside!

[TINY COTTAGE TINY COTTAGE]

[worthathousand]

[ They're on top of some unnaturally tall metal building in the middle of a murderous game, but she can't help but laugh at their enthusiasm. ]

Go ahead. If it's too tight a fit, Iris can make us a second, apparently!

[ a pause, considering ] ...I should stand watch, though.

[phoni]

[ we need to be happy about something! ]

It should be fine if you come in too, shouldn't it? We could leave the door open to keep an eye on things.

[rootoflove]

It doesn't seem like anyone's coming here, right? So I think it'll be fine.

[idolpro]

Oh, noble soul! [ Who the fuck is this. Kuzuebiko appears, suddenly, or someone that looks like him does anyway - he snaps his fingers and your weapon becomes. . . a soprano saxophone. hm. ] Remember now, the beauty of life! [ well, it IS a beautiful instrument. almost makes you not want to fight anymore! stunned for 1 turn. ] [ the genie disappears in a billow of smoke. ]
