[ The lil shark nibble...

He's just blinking once slowly, at ALL THIS WATER, and then slowly down at Haru. He makes a kind of pinched face, and it's partially because he really is just going swimming, but also because there's that acrid smell of chlorine that he doesn't really like.

What's that mean?

[ Doot doot... ]

Never gone swimming before. Even when I'm in the bathroom, it's a short shower most of the time.

We don't exactly have a lot of water where I'm from.

[ So give him a break Haru!! It's like Turbo California crossed with Texas!! ]

[ Stop Wolfwood cares about hygiene, he's not content to stay forever covered in blood and sweat unlike some freaks of his planet. ]

No. This is the most water I've literally ever seen in my life, I'm pretty sure.

Smells bad, though.

[ That's the chlorine... ]

[ Honestly speaking he is actually not that smelly, Estinien is so much worse. He does suck way more than Estinien does though. ]

This is a lot of water to be used just for swimming. Must be nice, having that kind of freedom.

[ He doesn't sound bitter or whatever though, he's heard the Old World was more like this. It's just unfathomable to him. ]

I'll pass on the swimming, I don't have anything to wear for it anyway.

You're here.

[ Maybe or maybe not he will consider when there really is nobody around, but he will feel a little strange about going for a swim with anybody else present that isn't his canonmates. ]

We don't have a lot of water where I'm from. Not enough to drink in some cities, let alone do other things like swim in it or play around with it.

[ Nu... trying to get the Wolfwood shoeless any% speedrun... ]

[ He's looking in. It's so clear, and... blue? He can't tell if it's the tiles, or if it's the water. ]

Desert planet, here. All yellow as far as the eye can see, and air so dry it'd crack earth on contact.

Yeah? What's it all about then?

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

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

[ 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?

[ 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.

[ 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. ]

...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. ]

[ After trial and execution, neither of which I was present for, Wolfwood is left to wander and get everyone's bearings. He will nod once to Haru when he runs into him. ]

That's one week done. At least six to go. Not feeling very optimistic right now, personally speaking.

[ How are you doin', normie swimmer? ]

Ego and self-confidence go a long way. That, and the fact that coming back to life is still dangling over our heads.

[ Haru... the jock who does more than just swim... if Wolfwood wasn't constantly literally carrying that cross around, he would join him. He wouldn't mind walking, even a little fast, so Haru can still get some exercise in though. ]
