Thirty-Fourth Reap → Action [Backdated to Sunday Evening]

[black_onslaught]

[Ragna has been hanging around Luceti Land for a few days now, remembering it as the first memorable thing that happened to him back when he first arrived in Luceti. Aside from a few mishaps back then, it was an okay place to hang. He remembers this, and decides to take full advantage of the place's attractions this time around. Which has mostly

[derpherp, yeah, don't mind Noel. It's getting late and she's contemplating just... leaving when she sees Ragna from outside the arcade.

...Ragna? At an arcade? Playing? This requires an investigation.

Noel walks on over.]

Ragna?

[bullet_dance]

[--Only to see what game he's playing.]

What are you playing!?

[black_onslaught]

[WAIT NOEL WHEN DID YOU GET OUT OF THE GAME-- Oh, it's the real Noel.]

Does it matter?! [Don't distract him! Unless it's all apart of her genius plan!]

[bullet_dance]

Of course it matters! [She points a finger at the screen.] Why are you and I in that!?

[.........]

Is that Kagutsuchi!?!

[black_onslaught]

I don't know! It doesn't matter to me! [Seriously. He's not surprised by any of this. He's gotten used to not being surprised by things by being able to take monsters from back home and putting them into a simulation at the Battle Dome. So why couldn't a game be made for Luceti Land about their world? It's creepy, yeah.

But he's not surprised.] What matters is that I beat this damned... you!

[bullet_dance]

[Staaare.]

She... She fights just like me!

[black_onslaught]

That is you, isn't it? [Unless there's some other Noel Vermillion who wears that stupidly short skirted uniform with the silly hat in Kagutsuchi.] Of course she's gonna fight like you.

[He's still not really all that bothered by this. He didn't see Terumi on the character select screen. He's just irritated by how much this game cheats to win.]

[bullet_dance]

But they have it to the tee. And yours, too! [...and what the hell] Why does he keep calling her stupid!?

[black_onslaught]

[Geez, why does it matter so much to her? She should just get off of it already.] Probably because she keeps beating him by cheating!

[bullet_dance]

Just because she's using chain revolver doesn't mean she's cheating! You probably just don't understand the controls, Ragna! [Because she doesn't like her intelligence being insulted!]

[black_onslaught]

Bullshit! There's no way in hell my attacks should go right through her! [That's what he calls cheating, Noel.] I hit hard! I don't hit like a goddamn spring breeze!

[bullet_dance]

[NOEL WIN]

...maybe there's something you're not doing right.

[black_onslaught]

All I'm doing is pressing the buttons like it said to! [IS THIS GAME KEEPING SECRETS FROM HIM.] What else can there even be to it?

[bullet_dance]

Is it really that simple? [She thought it was more complex than that! But if that's the case...]

Um... could I... give it a try, too?

[black_onslaught]

Well-- [He was about to say no, when he turned back to the screen and saw a second pair of controls. Which means that they could probably play against each other.

Someone he can BEAT. Oh, his manly pride. ;_;] ... Yeah, come on, let's give it a shot.

[bullet_dance]

Really? ...okay! [And she steps up! Since there's two of the same thing on that dashboard thing, that means they can both play, right?

As soon as she moves forward, the screen returns to the main select screen.]
