I need a couple of people to go monster hunting with me. Capturing, not killing.

Cowards and slowpokes need not apply.

[The end. For once there's very little entertainment value to be found in her words.]

Hey, you need anything?

private

[wellsuited]

Have you given that gun any more thought? I really think that the flash of explosives paired with the convenience of a handgun--I can't be the only one who wants that.

private

[onetoignite]

[There's a bit of silence, and then he kinda laughs.]

Guess I don't need to ask if you're all right, huh?

They call those flare guns, by the way. At least, when they're made for the flashy bit. Not for actually exploding things.

private

[wellsuited]

Oh...right. Flare guns. I forgot about flare guns.

It's my own fault. Usually, my ideas seem like good ones...at least to me. This time, I knew it was a bad idea.

And I did it anyway.

private

[onetoignite]

Yeah, well, I prefer real guns anyway. Fake ones get you into just as much trouble but aren't much help getting you out of it.

Speaking of. I'm probably not the person to talk to, being the king of bad ideas and all. Hangs out with Mello, remember?

[And then ...another little pause, for a drag.]

Do you think you fucked up or something?

private

[wellsuited]

Right.

[It's not clear which part she's agreeing with him about -- the guns or the king of bad ideas part. Maybe both.]

I started thinking that I'm something that I'm not. And I should've believed him when he told me he was a bad person. I mean, after what he showed me, this is nothing. Literally. Nothing.

private

[onetoignite]

Hah, right. Don't worry El, you're a tough old bird. I should know.

[Another pause for a drag, this one much longer.]

You wanna hear one of the first things I ever learned? It's not that interesting, but... when people disappear, or let you down, it's nobody's fault but their own.

So when you run into someone who doesn't do either of those, you stick with them.

[...]

Yeah, that's how it goes.

private

[wellsuited]

[She's quiet, first to listen, then to the process.]

So...you're saying I should stick with you?

private - lmao, oh elena :3

[onetoignite]

[...man what.]

Ssssomething like that. Sure. Sort of.

I mean, I'm sticking on someone myself, you know. Just. ...You know.

private

[wellsuited]

Not like that, you idiot. I don't downgrade that fast.

[A huff.]

But I will tell you a little secret. Reno, Itachi... I'm tired of having things taken from me. I'm gonna do some taking.

private

[onetoignite]

Oi, I'm not that much of a downgrade. But thank Christ, you had me worried for a second.

[A pause!!]

So you're going to fight back, yeah? And how do you plan on doing that?

private

[wellsuited]

I'll get back to you on that. There's a couple of people I need to talk to first.

private

[onetoignite]

Well, if you say so.

You need anything, you know where to find me.
