w0, friday

[senjinrouha]

[ welcome to the Outside where clues can be hunted for, but none can be found. what's up rin? ]

Are you hunting for something specific?

week 1, Thursday

[aono]

[It's been A Week for Rin, but maybe Thursday will be a better day!]

Get back here you crawly asshole!

[...or not.

Because Rin is screaming at a crab while trying to stab it with his sword. But the crab keeps moving.

Help him, Yuri.]

[senjinrouha]

[ i mean he could help but this is also.


pretty funny. ]

What’s with the crab hate?

[aono]

I want to eat it! But it's being stubborn!

[Stab. Stab. Stabstabstab

He's getting the ground only though.]

[senjinrouha]

[ i mean. if he were the crab he’d be making his life difficult too? valid. ]

You’ve not tried to trap it or … swipe at it instead of stabbing it?

[aono]

Swipe at it, huh?

[Well. He's adjusting his grip and swinging the sword like a baseball bat.

And instead of cutting the crab in half, it hits it and sends it flying right at Yuri. Living crab incoming.]

[senjinrouha]

[ well. that worked poorly.

yuri doesn't duck -- not completely, he just... whacks the crab back? like this is the world's shittiest game of ping pong now. ]

[aono]

Gah!

[Another swing! This definitely is ping pong. The crab goes flying back at Yuri.]

[senjinrouha]

[ what the fuc-- ]

Don't hit it back at me?

[ he will... hit it back at rin though. poor crab. ]

[aono]

Well don't hit it back at me!

[This time Rin's sword hits it correctly, and...the shell gets stuck to the sword. Whoops.]

...crap.

[senjinrouha]

[ he just applauds. congratulations on your crab. ]

It didn’t stand a chance.

[aono]

[He looks at the crab, stuck to the end of his sword.]

Guess not, yeah. Now I just gotta cook it.

[And find a way to crack it open later.]

[senjinrouha]

I think after all that, that part's going to be the easy part.

Week 2, Friday

[aono]

[Of course he's coming to check on Yuri after all of that. Rin stays away at first only because he's not a doctor, but once Yuri is awake and settled somewhere that he can rest he's going to come looking for him.

...he IS awake, yeah? Because Rin is going to carefully peek over to wherever Yuri is, just in case he's asleep.]

[senjinrouha]

[ he is awake. and sore. hi rin. ]

You okay there?

[aono]

Me? Yeah, just got in a fight.

[Glossing over that as quickly as he can-]

But what happened to you guys?

[senjinrouha]

[ blink. ]

With who?

... Uh. Plenty happened. A lot of weird shadow monsters that exploded into flames, and scared people living in the catacombs.

[aono]

[SKIPPING OVER THAT QUESTION]

Shadow monsters...where are the other people anyway? I just saw a buncha kids with you.

[senjinrouha]

[ squint ]

… They were the only ones who’d come. The others were too resistant, or scared to leave.

[aono]

...oh.

[WELL. RIP THOSE PEOPLE IG]

Sorry.

[senjinrouha]

You can't persuade everyone all of the time. Even if the situation is desperate.

[aono]

I guess not.

[He still seems sad over the loss of the NPCs.]

Well...we can make sure the kids are cared for, at least.

[senjinrouha]

Yeah. We dragged them up here, we can't really just pat them on the backs and send them on their way.

[aono]

Xie Lian said the other people from this world took them in, yeah? Then they'll be fine.

[Hopefully. Even if they're NPCs, he wants them to be safe.]

[senjinrouha]

... I hope so. The world's a big enough and scary enough place even when you haven't been hiding underground from it your whole life.

[aono]

Yeah, it is.

...I wonder if we'll keep finding random kids like this in different worlds.

[senjinrouha]

…. Man, I hope not. Kids should be somewhere safe not… abandoned in a city or hiding underground.
