[Sasuke is perched at the top of a jungle gym in the middle of a park. He's wearing a collared shirt, jeans, a leather jacket and a necklace, and his sword is resting atop the monkey bars beside him. He's considerably less twitchy and bloodstained than he usually is.Hey. New people. I'm sure you've heard enough bullshit about this place since

That's awful selfish of you, dont'cha think?

[Rich, coming from the queen of selfishness herself.]

[revengeisbitter]

Which part?

[jazzmurderess]

The part where there's a whole lotta trustworthy people that you're probably dismissing with a wave of your hand.

[So many three-syllable words. She's gonna need a breather.]

[revengeisbitter]

I'm telling it like it is, lady. I really don't care if you like it or not.

[jazzmurderess]

[She crosses her arms stubbornly.] So what if someone needs someone else to trust 'em? And that someone else decides to take your advice? That ain't fair to anybody.

[An eye roll.] I'm only saying.

[revengeisbitter]

It's not advice. It's the truth. No one has to believe it.

[jazzmurderess]

Hmph. It just don't seem right to me, but by all means, carry on! [GROUCH.]

[revengeisbitter]

You need lessons?

[jazzmurderess]

Not in killing people, no. [She smirks.]

[revengeisbitter]

How about killing monsters?

[jazzmurderess]

[She shivers at the thought.] I was hoping I wouldn't have to deal with them.

[revengeisbitter]

You'll have to at some point.

[jazzmurderess]

Oh yeah? And what if I never go out at night, huh?

[revengeisbitter]

Doesn't matter. They'll get to you somehow.

[jazzmurderess]

...W-what makes you say that?

[revengeisbitter]

Look, I'm not trying to scare you. I'm just trying to be practical. In a world like this, you can't get by just hiding and hoping for the best. You can't get by like that in any world, really.
