ART IS A BANG~

[eat_my_c4]

.. This is gonna be awesome.

(During a vaguely quiet patch, the room's relative peace is violently broken by a delighted whoop, shortly followed by a harsh, victorious yell of "KATSU!" - at which a large, violent explosion shakes the room.

It's a reasonably large explosion, so your character doesn't have to have been dim enough to be standing

*stares from a distance*

What the hell was that?

[eat_my_c4]

ART, yeah!

[redeyed_genius]

Destroying stuff is an art?

But I guess it's... Nice, in a way.

[eat_my_c4]

It's the only real kind of art there is. An explosion is - sublime, yeah. Perfect. Ahahaa. Wasn't that AMAZING? Did you die?

[redeyed_genius]

Na, tennis is an art too! The rush of winning and crushing my opponents... Heh.

I'm still here, aren't I?

[eat_my_c4]

... Tennis? What's tennis?

Yeah, but I died and I'm still here.

[redeyed_genius]

You- wait- WHAT?!

You don't know what's TENNIS?!

To an idiot like you, tennis is the most awesome sport ever, and Rikkaidai beats everyone else at it. Hands down, no competition. And after I get back, I swear I'm going to be the best of the best.

If you've died more than once, that may explain why you're so loopy. Are multiple-deaths the norm here?

[eat_my_c4]

... Hn.

Sport, huh? Hmmh. How do you play?

Loopy? I'm not loopy. And I dunno. I don't think anyone can die for good in here.

[redeyed_genius]

In basic terms, you have two players on opposite sides of a court, and you rally the ball back and forth till one player scores. In a doubles game, players pair up against each other, and the rules are mostly the same, though the court size is larger.

And when I win, the rush is just awesome, and the other guy's in total shock and looking so pathetic, and I'm like- Powerful. Invincible. Of course, hitting my opponent is a plus!

Heh, some say I'm loopy. Still, I'm not going to try if I can avoid it.

[eat_my_c4]

... I'm still not getting it, yeah. There's loads of people in here and they're bored most of the time, though, so maybe you ought to teach some of these losers or something.

Okay, yeah, that I can understand - winning, yeah. Mm. Course, in my line of work winning means killing the other guy. Heh.

[redeyed_genius]

Hn. You interested?

...I don't want to know.

[Private]

...You're interesting, you know? Psycho, but interesting.

[eat_my_c4]

I dunno. That depends. What d'you hit the ball with?

.. Heh.

(priiiiivate)
Heh. Don't need to tell me that, yeah. Lots of people in this world's boring as hell but I sure as anything ain't one of 'em.

Dunno about psycho, though.

[redeyed_genius]

A racke- On second thought, never mind. I don't want the ball blowing my hand off halfway through the match.

[Private]
Eh, you're more psycho than me, so you definitely qualify.

[eat_my_c4]

A racket? So you hold it ..? Hnn, don't really sound like my thing, yeah. Don't have good arms for that kinda stuff.

(Private)
I'm not psycho. I just understand some stuff other people don't.

[redeyed_genius]

Eh~? You don't know what you're missing out on.

[Private]
What's your name, by the way? I'm Kirihara Akaya.

[eat_my_c4]

Nah, seriously. I ... well I got kinda weak arms, yeah? Cause of all the mouth and throat stuff. My grip's kinda crap.
