[Someone has been missing for weeks now. But hark, who is that man in the fedora with that suspiciously Indiana Jones-esque bullwhip and three-day scruff? Why if it isn't Tyki. And he's currently sitting in a tree, smoking, and watching the water around the tree he's in

[Abysmal? He'll say. You nearly shot him!]

Oi, watch it!

((Placeholderrrrrrrrrr))

[cardio_swindle]

I taught myself. [Yes, he sounds sullen as he tries to shoot another. And fails.] It's not as easy as it looks, you old geezer.

Can't this thing go faster?

[notpapa]

Y'ever think practice before you needed to use it might help?

[But yes. Faster. That's why he's getting Tessei out and using it as a gondolla pole, since at least that way he can smack the crocs as he propels them.]

[cardio_swindle]

[Just. This face.]

Why would I do that?

[notpapa]

T' avoid situations like this!

[Sometimes your stupidity astounds him, it really does.]

[cardio_swindle]

[If you think this is stupid you should see his thread with Kanda.]

You seem to be handling it just fine.

[notpapa]

[Pfffffffffffffffft]

[Tyki may hear something along the lines of "goddamn fucking lazy hobo" before a particularly hungry alligator leaps out of the water towards them, thrashing wildly.]

[cardio_swindle]

[Oh, this he can deal with. He drops the revolver int he boat--somehow it doesn't go off--and rises to his feet, blasting the creature to bits with a burst of rejection.]

You were saying something~?

[notpapa]

[Ducking to avoid bits of flying critter, still pushing them towards what is hopefully the exit.]

Why th' fuck are you bothering with a gun?

[cardio_swindle]

[Well there does seem to be light up ahead, and not just swamplight and fireflies.]

Oi, no need to shout.

[notpapa]

[Steering towards that then, fingers crossed.]

Humor me, Tyki, an' tell me if there really is anything b'tween those ears of yours besides the very basics of what's required t' funciton.

[cardio_swindle]

What? And spoil the suspense? I wouldn't dream of it.

[notpapa]

Refusing to answer might as well be an affirmation, y'know.

[cardio_swindle]

Says you. I'm insulted you'd even ask. I mean really, haven't you been paying attention to my intelligence and charm at all?

[notpapa]

Dunno, seems I'd forgotten them in your long absence. [Pause.] Where th' hell where you, anyways?

[cardio_swindle]

Senility is truly tragic. [Oh yeah, that does remind him.] Out here. Up here. How did you catch up to me?
