[action - 913 Bilko Boulevard ]

[If you happen to be there, Mokou is completely furious. Because she normally wouldn't want to drag kids into her violent escapades...and she's currently threatening the drone son with death, lest he provide her with accurate information pertaining to her whereabouts. ]

Hey! You little shit better start talking right

[action - around town]

[What the hell. What's with people and hanging out behind bushes all of a sudden?]

You drop somethin'?

[paintme_crimson]

No. I'm observing my surroundings. [And she says that in all seriousness.]

[jusenkyoed]

Oh really? Lemme help.

You're surrounded by bushes and dumb lookin' houses. There. [As opposed to him, who is currently a bastion of sarcasm.]

[paintme_crimson]

I mean this fucking hellhole, dumbass. This town. I don't just want to walk up to one of those zombie drone things and ask "Hey there! How do you all function in daily life and how do I go about getting my powers back?"

[jusenkyoed]

You're not gonna get 'em back by skulkin' around bushes, I'll tell you that. [A beat.] And watchin' them is pointless anyway. They probably don't even think that you're doin' somethin' strange right now.

[paintme_crimson]

[Sarcasm now.] No, really? Thanks for that stunning observation. I mean, I thought I could just sit here and absorb the fucking mana from the ground.

[She puts her hands on her hips.] And it's not pointless. I don't wanna get zombified, no thanks. So I'm watching how they act towards everybody for reference.

[jusenkyoed]

[Urgh.] Good thing that's not how it works. You get your powers back randomly, I never figured it out.

...they don't just brainwash you for not actin' like them.

[paintme_crimson]

Love how you assume I'm already supposed to know all of this.

[jusenkyoed]

Some of it is kinda obvious, ain't it?

that icon keyword cracked me up pfffft

[paintme_crimson]

Not really, when you come from a place where danmaku to the face means "Hi, how are you on this fine morning?"

excellent, means i'm doing /something/ right with the keywords

[jusenkyoed]

Don't know what that is, so I wouldn't know.

[paintme_crimson]

Bullets.

[jusenkyoed]

...okay, gotta admit. Didn't expect that. But yeah-- pretty sure not many people around here're gonna do that just yet. [At least, not that he's heard in a while.]

[paintme_crimson]

No shit, skippy. [She's...very irritated right now. Sorry, Ranma.]

[So she'll just step out of the bushes, shake the leaves off of her pants, and glare at him.]

[jusenkyoed]

[He glares back. This one isn't to be taken lightly, maybe.]

What're you starin' at?
