They're better in real life.

[ yay ocean critters yay ]

The males raise their young in pouches, like kangaroos. [ no it's more like mpreg. ]

[doublefists]

[ what the fuck is a kangaroo ]

What the fuck is a kangaroo?

[squirt]

[ wistfully, ]

Another person who doesn't know what Australia is...

[doublefists]

[ haru why are you so funny ]

Why did you say it like that.

[squirt]

[ he shrugs, stretching his arms up, letting the lights catch on them a bit. ]

This is the second time this many people have never heard of something ordinary in my world.

[doublefists]

[ rolls over to peer at him. ]

Maybe your world's the weird one.

[squirt]

I don't think so.

[ his world is normal and he is normal ]

A kangaroo is an animal bigger than us. It's angry and carries babies in its pouch and punches things.

[doublefists]

[ he really said no thanks ]

Hah. Sounds like my kind of animal. [ she does all of those things including carrying small children around like lost puppies. ] Have you ever seen one in person?

[squirt]

[ he's normal.....

anyway she would think that, username doublefists ]

Yeah. I got dragged to Australia recently. That's the only place they live.

[ go figure it'd be a reward after he bought plane tickets? he looks back at the lightshow idly. ]

I don't need to go again right now.

[doublefists]

[ can't even deny it she arrived here with metal gloves bigger than her head. she is a fist. ]

Australia isn't the goal, anyway. [ she does not give a single fuck about the outback. ]

[squirt]

[ this is why they have a steakhouse ]

...Right. The goal is to make sure we don't lose all our progress.

[ his wistfulness is more appropriate this time. ]

Even though we earned it already.

[doublefists]

Not according to the faceless shitlords.

[ rolls back over on her back. ]

Which one was yours? The "game of origin."

[squirt]

...They wrote it as Homophonic...

[ what the fuck is that................. ]

But it was the Reaper's Game. Yours was "Final Destination?"

[doublefists]

Homophonic.

[ she repeats like. okay. sure, why not that. why not homo and wenis. ]

It was, yeah, but it was a city called Key Nueve. It was pretty final, though. You must be Nanase then, Kazuki was talking about you.

[squirt]

[ why not homo and wenis........... ]

That's me. Kazuki was one of our allies.

[ this sounds weird outside of a team game but whatever ]

You're... Vi?

[doublefists]

Yep.

[ lazy salute from the floor. ]

And I'm here with Strohl and Hulkenberg. [ a beat. ] Oh, and that other guy. Mordalion or something.

[squirt]

[ he understands, he is not well-acquainted with sqq on account of fucking his team over. ]

Friends?

[doublefists]

The first two, sure. The last guy's just a guy.

[ there's a touch of protectiveness in the first bit, though. those are her People. ]

[squirt]

Mm.

[ a look of understanding. sometimes you have your People. ]

Are you going to try and make a team?

[ haru doesn't know how the team preferences form works ]

[doublefists]

[ amused: ]

Just like that? I mean, if I get any say in it, sure. I doubt we will, though.

[squirt]

...Probably not. [ tch TCH ] At least it doesn't hurt to think about.

[ he's very team oriented, but also kind of traumatized from his own team game. it was So important. ]

Even if you don't end up on the same team, you can make alliances.

[doublefists]

[ somewhere shenhe is like one time i made an alliance and then that alliance killed me

anyway, vi hums. ]

That an offer?

[squirt]

[ gerard and just gerard how could you do that!!!!

with an undecipherable stoicness, ]

Can you swim?

[doublefists]

[ peers over at him. ]

Yeah. Is that a requirement?

[squirt]

No.

[ but it's part of his very serious grading metric. ]

But it helps. You seem cool and trustworthy. We can be allies.
