flicking around his Fate, just so Gota would

[Basco was scoping out the plaza at the moment, waiting to see when Hiro might return and OH LOOK! It's a wet kitten. He smiles and walks over]

You seem seem a little lost. Can I help?

[will_erase]

[Since when does he resemble a cat, he doesn't even--

...

Oh.

Well, seeing someone dressed like a pirate puts him a little off-guard. And irritated. Where is he, an amusement park?

You just got ignored, Gota gave you one uninterested glance and started walking.]

[giving_to_get]

. . .

[Rude.

Welp, following him a few steps.]

Hey Kitten, do you might showing me your right wrist? It's just a little something I ask everyone I find who's newly arrived.

[will_erase]

[Gato stops.

His right wrist? Why would someone ask that? H... how?
He knows.

And out goes the flickblade. It's like a greeting at this point, really. One might also find that asterisk symbol peeking under his sleeve as well.]

[giving_to_get]

[Basco doesn't even bat an eyelash at the knife. Being completely calm and collected, his eyes moved from Gota to his wrist, seeing the symbol.]

So you are a clone...

[A smirk]

How perfect. I knew another one of you would eventually show up.

[will_erase]

[Gota tilts his head, suddenly very much interested. Can't help but mock that smile as well.]

I would know right away if you were in this game of ours, but I don't. There's no connection between you and I, so how do you know? Others?

[He chuckles lightly.] Yet you're already a nuisance, so there's that.

[giving_to_get]

You are no ray of sunshine yourself, Kitten.

[A stare]

You are right about me not being apart of your "game". I'm just very good acquaintances with one or another I've met here.

Also I would be moving that knife of yours. We wouldn't want you to die your first day here. Hiro would pitch a fit at me.

[He was holding his gold-colored gun under his parka in a way that it could be seen but was still quite concealed.]

[will_erase]

Don't call me that.

[IRKING NICKNAME--

He blinks. Lowers his arm. This... pirate... mentioned him?] You know Hiro? Hiro is here?

[giving_to_get]

[This privateer, Kitten.]

I more than know him. [Smiiiile]

[will_erase]

[NOPE, WAIT, reversing back to the same position as before.

Not liking anything you're saying. :I]

[giving_to_get]

You don't believe I'll shoot you? Hiro being upset doesn't detour me that much.

[will_erase]

I don't really believe anything your saying or your overall presence at all. That get-up just completes it.

It's pathetic.

[giving_to_get]

...

[A shrug.]

Then I'll tell you. I am the owner of the space ship The Free Joker, Basco Ta Jolokia; A privateer. No, little boy, I not joking. I am as serious as this gun.

[Which he did pull the trigger of, letting off two shots, one bullet for each leg.]

Do we want to keep testing my limits? The next shot will be in your head.

[will_erase]

[It's not really appropiate for him to laugh.

Sure, after he drops to the floor. Not really stable anymore because, son of a bitch, those were real shots and real waves of pain in his legs.

He just got fucking shot.

So, he laughs, feeling overly stubborn today. Gota pushes himself up the arms as soon as he's finished.]

It's funny really.

First there are clones who are supposed to kill each other, then there's a underwater city surrounded in a bubble. And I'm shot in the legs. By a goddamn guy like you.

[He pauses, gritting his teeth. Laughter only distracted him from the pain for a brief moment.]

It doesn't seem like I'm ever going to get the normal life I want so much.

[giving_to_get]

Tell me this, Earth Boy, what do you think a normal life is?

[will_erase]

Being...

[Instead of bothering with this any longer, he lays on his back. Just to stare at the water above.

Maybe at some point it will sink in and drown him. Then this will turn out to be a dream. He's actually alone with his private thoughts. That's it, right?]

Being surrounded by my family and friends. [Gota chuckles again. Says the guy who doesn't trust a goddamn soul. Except a voice on his phone.
What the hell?]

I already dug myself so far, so I might as well keep going.
