The first record.

This is just not my day.. First I wake up in some strange room with a headache, then I get shocked by this damn thing on my wrist, and now I'm just wonderin' around looking for someone I recognize with no luck

You have got to be kidding me! Couldn't they have at least sent someone useful!

[strike_for_you]

.. EH!? G-General Cross!? You're here?

And what d'you mean by that!? I'm useful!

[allisrotten]

Would I be talking to you if I wasn't here? Obviously I am, idiot.

Oh yes, I've seen how useful you can be. Resembles a dead fish.

[strike_for_you]

No need to insult me, y'know. What kinda greetin' is that?

Oh, c'mon~ You just haven't seen me at my best times.

[allisrotten]

My kind of greeting.

I'd rather pass on that.

[strike_for_you]

Can't you make an effort to be a little bit nicer to someone in my position?

Hehe, why? Afraid it'd prove you wrong~?

[allisrotten]

Why? There's so many new people here, I'd hate for my reputation to be ruined. Besides, effort involves too much effort. I'm off the clock to do a damn thing.

As for you proving me wrong? Not gonna happen kid.

[strike_for_you]

Of course. Wouldn't want you to tire yourself out bein' nice to someone for a change. Anyway, I hope you've been helping Lenalee out while she's been here, without getting TOO friendly.

And it would happen if you didn't show up every time I'm without a weapon or worn out from so many fights before.

[allisrotten]

For a change? You obviously have no idea what I'm like. Apart from the stories little Allen probably told you. What business is it to you if I helped her out or not? Or in which way? I'm not that bad.

I thought young people were supposed to have more stamina, that's more than a little pitiful.

[strike_for_you]

You put him through hell from what I heard, and you don't treat me any better. Only people I've ever seen you treat nicely are women, or Lenalee. It's not really my business at all, but I don't care. I just know she could use someone she already knew helping her out in a place like this.

..!? Do you have any idea what we all went through before you showed up on the Ark? Anyone'd be worn out!

[allisrotten]

You were filthy on the Ark and not much better with the level 4You haven't really seen enough of me to make that kind of observation. You'd actually be surprised. She's been shown around and we had a chat now that we could without anyone getting in the way. Or interrupting and drawing thw wrong conclusions.

calm down kid, you might burst a blood vessel.

[strike_for_you]

I'm sure I would be surprised, the way you're talking. You don't have the best reputation with women; can't blame me for being skeptical.

.. This conversation has made me gain a lot more respect for Allen.

[allisrotten]

Rumors are just that, rumors. How I am with woman is all behind closed doors. Never hear any complaints from them. Must be doing something right. But do anything with Lenalee? She's cute, but I do have my limits.

I'm happy for you, I'm sure Allen would feel good knowing that aswell.

[strike_for_you]

I don't even wanna know. [And now he had a horrible mental image haunting him.] Glad that you've set limits for yourself, at least.

Speaking of Allen - he doesn't happen to be here, does he? Or is it just us three?

[allisrotten]

Shame, you might have been able to pick things up and got someone here. Not many, but they're there.

Walker? No, if he is then he's just arrived.

[strike_for_you]

I think I know enough to "get someone" if I wanted them.

Bet he'd be thrilled to see you if he does end up here.
