Action, RED ZONE, open to all

[rabukidastrophe]

[So, surely not everyone is just hanging out neutral territory endlessly? Afterall, even if you aren't looking for a fight, there's old buildings to ransack, and of course, just exploring is something to do

[Plain old exploring is good every now and again!]

Huh, there really aren't many people out this way...

[rabukidastrophe]

[unfortunately, Kida is more than aware of what kind of temptation that is, and jerks the firepoker up quickly

however, instead of bringing it down just as quickly, he instead takes a step back]

[Rats, not fast enough after all. However, he had anticipated an absolute strike upon failure, so when Kida steps back, it takes him by surprise- though he utilizes the opportunity to scramble to his feet. The bat is still out of reach for him to try making any moves, but regardless, he's more interested in the leniency Kida's been showing.]

Hey... If you really don't want to do it, you don't have to. We can find another way. I'm sure of it! I might not be able to come up with something on my own, but the more we increase our forces, we can only gain more power from it. Don't you think?

Fights among each other like these are meant to be last resorts. If you haven't tried another option, that doesn't mean it doesn't exist! Give me a chance. Believe in me! If my methods don't work out after all... At that time, if it really comes to that, I'll give you all my tags without a fight.

But, in exchange, it means I'll need your cooperation.

[Kida doesn't entirely look as if he's decided not to clobber you, or maybe that wary look is because of something else. Either way, the carefree air doesn't return, though he clearly is listening and doesn't make any other moves]

'Cooperation'? Like what?

[batteredup]

That, too, hasn't been decided yet. But if we're going to make this work, I just know that we'll need everyone's cooperation. So of course that includes you.

[...sigh]

Why are guys like you dying and ending up in a place like this anyway? I guess this is the final proof that there's really no justice in the universe.

[batteredup]

Well, a lot of things happened and all...

What about you? What got you into this place?

[rabukidastrophe]

[handwave handwave]

Accident. Watch before you cross the street, okay? And don't wander off into the red zones by yourself anymore. Who knows what kind of ruffian will get the jump on you?

[batteredup]

Ahh, right!

[he claps his hands together and bows his head in apology]

I'll be more careful from now on!
