[ ACCIDENTAL VOICE POST OF GREAT FAIL ]

[shockinglycool]

[There is a soft click as the communicator turns on in Sorata's pocket. It's mostly silent for a few seconds, although you can hear some rummaging noises. Then there's the sound of quick footsteps, but they don't go far.]

"Umi-chan! Can you open this for me?"

"Huh? Oh-of course, I'll be right there!" [Footsteps again, this time approaching.] "...

....

Just yelling

[shockinglycool]

Everything's fine!

oh, you'll get some more of that.

[baratiesbest]

LIKE HELL IT IS!!

I feel bad for everyone else in the bar, just listening to the YELLING

[shockinglycool]

Isn't it more important that we're all still safe and healthy?

Good customer service, this is not.

[baratiesbest]

[okay, so Sorata has a point even though it's a shitty one. Deep breaths.]

Get. Out.

It's the special Northern Lights service. Dinner and a show.

[shockinglycool]

Hey, that's mean.

[Halfhearted protesting. He does feel bad.]

C'mon, it's not like we can break anything else!

[baratiesbest]

Most people have the common sense to isolate themselves when their powers are out of whack, you fucking idiot. You gonna wait until you electrocute someone?!

Either you get out or I'll throw you out.

1/3

[shockinglycool]

Why aren't you yelling at Umi-chan, too? Not that you should, since she's a girl-

[shockinglycool]

[shockinglycool]

Also I'm pretty sure if you tried to physically throw me out, you would get electrocuted.

[baratiesbest]

Rubber soles, I'll be fine as long as I kick you. Can't say the same about you though.

So how's it going to be?

[shockinglycool]

Y'know, I'm pretty sure I'm technically your boss.

[Whiny. Footsteps. CRASH.

...Footsteps.]

I'm going to go help out Haru up front.

[baratiesbest]

I'm a pirate, do you really think I give a shit about hierarchy?

[and you can almost hear the satisfied smirk]

You do that.

[shockinglycool]

[He's just sending off waves of pouting. And trying to pass close enough by you on the way that you got a shock. Not that he's immature.]

It was an accident.

[baratiesbest]

It was fucking stupid, that's what it was.

[Owfuck! Suppressing a wince here, like the manly man he is.]

Tch!

[shockinglycool]

I didn't know she'd gotten her powers back... [Does he sound mildly cheerful at the tch? Maybe.]
