That could have gone better. [Pause, pause... he draws something that looks like a jellyfish.] Anyone know what happened to my box?

[The strikes are inelegantly scribbled over instead of neatly struck out, but are still rather legible. He settles for something less dramatic.]

DON'T COME BACK SO CASUALLY AFTER DYING

Pfffffffffffft lol

[iattractmushi]

...how else should I come back?

[Cloud doesn't do drama, man.]

Screaming: The default response

[longnosedliar]

I don't know--an announcement or something? "I'm back"? Not "that could have gone better" and asking for your box right after... something like that happened.

Always~

[iattractmushi]

Well. It could have gone better. [He could have... erm. Not run into Apostle, that's pretty much the only way this could have been 'better'.]

And I was kind of hoping to get that box back. Hate to find out it got destroyed, too.

[longnosedliar]

Well obviously it could have gone better. It couldn't have gone any worse! And there are more important things than your box, like the fact that you actually came back.

...I'm glad you did, though. I didn't think you would.

[iattractmushi]

[He's not really sure how to respond to any of that, especially the last part, so there's a bit of a pause.]

People tend to come back when they've been killed here, as a rule.

[longnosedliar]

Well, if there's one thing we can't depend on in this place, it's that everybody will come back.

[Pause. How to say this without looking like a simpleton?

Oh well. Looking like a simpleton is a go!]

So don't get killed again! Don't you have a weapon or anything? Not that I'm sure it would have been of much use... but you need to stay prepared. Especially when you hang out alone at the Park the way you do.

[iattractmushi]

[Doesn't know what to say to that first part, either, so he ignores it.]

[Thought about saying 'I wasn't planning on it,' but decided he kind of deserved that.] I don't carry a weapon, no. And I've never been attacked in my sleep. [Unless you count a few things Edensphere has thrown at him.]

[longnosedliar]

There's a first time for everything.

[PESSIMISM. He has it.]

Not to say that it will happen or anything because it probably won't and the chances of it are probably really low, but it's still better to be prepared. Not that it would do much if you were sleeping.

If you're wandering alone while awake, I guess I should say.

[SUDDEN TOPIC CHANGE!]

So... you hang out at the Park, right? D'you mind if I come over later? Just to make sure.

[iattractmushi]

I told you I'd been taught the basics of using a gun and some swordplay, but it was just the basics. I haven't followed up on the lessons. [Never mind that he has ridiculously good aim with a gun, he's not buying one.]

[Raising an eyebrow at that topic change, buddy.] ...usually, yeah, but I think tonight I might be staying at the Spa. Can it wait until tomorrow sometime?

[longnosedliar]

Then follow up on them!

Oh yeah, of course. I didn't mean right now, but sometime. I'll see you later, okay? I bet a lot of people are going want to see you, anyway.

[iattractmushi]

[Just... ignoring that yes again. Whatever he says, it'll either be a lie or Sniper won't be happy with him. So, just not saying anything... it's totally worked so far, right?]

Right, see you later.

/Threadjacks because I can

[inthecenterfold]

Lea probably has it. He was.. hanging around until after the Watch was done to actually... poke around.

[iattractmushi]

[...crap. Lea saw him... his body, too? Damn, damn, damn...]

Thanks for letting me know. I'll have to get in touch with him soon.

[inthecenterfold]

... Feel like I should mention there were a lot of people there. Me, Huo, Lea... Gray, Kagerou... Reed, Rosalind, Elsa, & Nikki - plus a bunch of other Watch guys whose names I didn't catch.

So uh... don't be surprised. It was kind of a big deal when it's that bad.
