[ a desert... planet. he shivers a little, because even thinking about it is uncomfortable.

he retreats a little further into the pool, like it's a comfort, even if his next words don't really reflect that. ]

Water's dangerous. It's like a living thing. If you don't know how to deal with it, it'll swallow you whole.

[crucifer]

[ ...Huh. Not the answer he expected whatsoever. ]

You look right at home in it, though. You like the danger?

[squirt]

[ surprise! water is terrifying ]

No. I feel more at peace like this.

[ he's not really chasing the runner's high of adrenaline as an athlete. just here to vibe. ]

Can't you respect something, instead of fearing it?

[crucifer]

[ Haru who seems to spend 24/7 in water as much as possible: water is dangerous
Wolfwood: okay ]

You probably can, but it comes with the caveat that it's never hurt you before. How'd you come to respect it so much if you say it's so dangerous?

[ haru, repeatedly turned lifeguard in free: learn to swim ]

I don't underestimate it.

Anything is less dangerous if you're careful and you handle it correctly. [ like GUNS ] And even if it has risks, I enjoy it.

[ The conclusion of this thread is 'water is like guns' which is an insane take. May they get water guns and have the best of both worlds. ]

That makes sense. There's a lot of adrenaline junkies out there.

[ That isn't what this is but hey. ]

When you grow up with it your whole life, it's a different story.

[ yeah! give haru a glock! anyway, he gives this dude a look, like he's meeting a war vet for the first time in his life. because that's the vibe here. he is just a swimmy lad, what does he know. ]

Sounds like you've seen a lot.

[crucifer]

[ I need Haru to show up to trial with a glock but it's actually a water gun, please. ]

I don't normally think so, at least probably not in the way you're thinking. A lot of people I've met here make me feel like it though.

Sounds like a nice world you've got.

[ It's not bitterness, it's real. ]

[squirt]

[ shoots someone to death with a water gun pew pew ]

Yeah. I like it.

[ he's sure every world has its problems, but it can't compare to a desert planet, where people might fight over as little as a pond. ]

Maybe you should try relaxing while you're here.

[ he thinks the pool is nice stress relief. ]

[crucifer]

...I'll think about it.

[ Absolutely no promises, with the whole DEATH GAME!! thing, but hey. It's not like he wants to be a tense hardass for the entire (looks at watch) seven weeks. ]
