log; and then everyone died

[subservience]

[... Jiros is actually not quite sure what to do in this situation. Or about being dead, really. His thoughts are somewhere along the lines of '... well, shit' and 'damn' and 'I guess I'm dead'.

...

Oh, and he's being attacked by frogs. That's kind of important too.

SO YEAH RUNNING LIKE THE WIND and half-looking for someone to partner up with though really how is he supposed to tell who else is dead—]

[inexistence]

Funny, because I'm pretty sure you do. [ know what he's talking about, that is.

he feels the gesture more than he sees it (he kind of can't, since he's rather focused on staring at your face right now with that mocking little smile), and the hilt of the dagger at his stomach feels warm. in response to the warning, he presses in closer against the hilt of that blade.

suggestively. ]

There's no need to pretend to be less than what you really are.

[subservience]

[he just kind of stares at that for a moment, because really, that's the first time anyone's told him anything like that—

... except instead of some sort of grand revelation, he just narrows his eyes as he holds the blade in place (and be glad that any implications fly straight over his head, yep).]

We're wasting time.

[inexistence]

[ and here celandine will stare at you for a moment, monopolizing your personal space, before... laughing a little. ]

Well, I got to hear you swear again. I wouldn't consider it a waste of time.

And besides... [ he glances up slightly-- the visage of a red-hooded figure disappearing into the crowd catching his attention. suddenly, the invisible barrier that he had been taking advantage of just.

vanishes.

welp.

he'll back up immediately, raising his hands up and looking down at the hilt of your dagger with amusement. ] Will you put that away?

[subservience]

[He blinks, glancing around to confirm that the barrier disappeared before shooting Celandine a glare that he immediately covers up afterwards with a blank look.]

... Very well.

[Withdrawing his dagger! And then he quickly turns away from Celandine because oh god can he just wipe that memory out of his mind—]

We should continue.

[inexistence]

[ the glare actually makes him smirk a little, which probably gives him the air of the insufferably smug. though he more or less goes back to that small, lazy smile of his when his hands slip back into his pockets.

the speed of jiros' retreat is amusing. he snorts to himself. ]

10-4 is just ahead.

[subservience]

[... it's kind of hard talking to a guy who was invading your personal space just a while ago sob.

TIME TO SUMMON ALL HIS SOCIAL SKILLS (or lack thereof).]

Then we should... make haste so as to be on time.

[inexistence]

[ yeeeep and celandine knows it. and is reveling in it. he smiles encouragingly-- ]

Don't let me keep you.

[ AKA lead the way, doormat-kun ]

[subservience]

... Do not fall behind.

[not a doormat!!! but okay leading]

[inexistence]

We have three minutes!

[ says this cheerfully as he follows! he is so not helpful in situations like these. ]

[subservience]

[He wants so badly to say "because you wasted time!" buuuuuut that would be rude so he manages to hold back.]

... All the more reason we should carry on as quickly as possible.

[Quickening his pace! WALK FASTER YOU.]

[inexistence]

[ fine fine walking a little faster-- ]

Going to 10-4, though... somehow, that seems too easy.

[subservience]

[sob he'll just have to take that]

It is the first task we have been given, though we should still remain on guard, nevertheless...

[inexistence]

It doesn't sound like you'll have any trouble with that. [ you uptight thing you ]

[subservience]

[??? ... oh wait he gets what you're trying to say

laksdjalsd annoyed twitch and IGNORING YOU as he keeps walking—]

[inexistence]

[ y e p he is so not helpful in the best of ways |D

following with a pleased look! this will be an interesting experience, he's sure-- ]

[subservience]

[YOU SUCK.

But they've finally reached 10-4 in what felt like an eternity to Jiros, because seriously, why does he have to be stuck with this guy—]

I believe we have... arrived at our destination.

[inexistence]

[ because your luck must be rock-bottom, jiros-chan... meanwhile, celandine's just admiring the scenery. he's only been to shibuya once in the past, and they didn't really have much time for sight-seeing, so being able to leisurely look around is a bit of a new experience for him. usually he dislikes large crowds of people, but being dead does have its perks.

when jiros stops and speaks up, he stops as well. one hand slips out of his pocket. he glances at his palm. ]

Seems like it. See? [ and he holds up his palm. ] Timer's gone.

[subservience]

[Jiros glances at Celandine, before looking away BECAUSE LOOKING AT YOU IS AWKWARD.]

... It would appear so. Then we have... fulfilled our task, correct?

[inexistence]

[ ... DON'T BE A SHY MAIDEN JIROS. meanwhile, celandine finds nothing awkward yep. ]

Yep, looks like it. [ he then pockets his hand again. ] Wonder what's gonna happen now.

[subservience]

[you weren't the one who got walled, celandine

There's a pause, before he just kind of flatly states—]

As we have succeeded in our goal, we should be assured of our continuation in the game.

[just in case it wasn't clear, you know...]

[inexistence]

[ there is nothing wrong with being walled. what do you mean this doesn't happen every day...

...................... and he just sighs. ]

Yes, well, it's just like them to pull the rug out from under our feet. What if they were lying all along, and we're going to disappear before the day's over?

[subservience]

[Another pause, as he thinks about that.]

... Then there would not have been a purpose in bringing us here to begin with.

[inexistence]

Who said that there was?

[subservience]

[...








have a blank look because he doesn't comprehend that.]

[inexistence]

[ ........ and he snorts. ]

What should I call you?
