[RL with Shiro]

[effulgentxx]

Spike was waiting outside his crypt, one hand in the pocket of his jacket and the other flipping the lid of his lighter opened and closed. A cigarette dangled from his lips, but he wasn't really concentrated on it. He was waiting. He'd had a couple different offers from that community he couldn't stop browsing, and maybe someone should show up

Shiro had managed to find someone to bring her to the stranger's. She was too curious for her own good, sometimes. Gullible and naive... some things she just didn't get. But that was okay. She was happy that way. She lived happier than most people.

When she saw the familiar face she waved, a music player in her hand and headphones in her ears. "Stranger!"

[thered_man]

Frowns at this. "Ganta supposed to win. But Ganta saved Shiro instead. Said Shiro and Ganta not eat sweets together if Shiro die."

Spike was quickly realizing that the girl only made sense a good third of the time. "So who won?"

[thered_man]

"No one. Ball fell on spikes and all lost," She said with a shrug.

[effulgentxx]

"What's that go to do with dog racing?"

[thered_man]

"Not dog racing! Dog Race. Prisoners and Shiro race to end. Whoever still alive play game. Hold ball longest and not fall. Ganta not catch ball in end like supposed to, so all lost," She explained, exasperated almost.

Spike was interested in the game to say the least, but it did seem like a waste of a way to bring about death. "How many usually survive?"

[thered_man]

She shrugged. "Shiro not know. Lots? None? Different all the time."

[effulgentxx]

"Then how are you still alive if you've played it so much to lose count?"

[thered_man]

She grinned. "Shiro knows how to not lose!"

[effulgentxx]

"And how's that?"

[thered_man]

"Not die!" She said and giggled.

[effulgentxx]

Spike tilted his head and shrugged. "Seems to be working."

[thered_man]

Nods her head. "How it works!"

[effulgentxx]

Spike smiled. "You want the grand tour while you're here?"

[thered_man]

Brightens up again. "Shiro want to see!"
