[ There's a scuffle, Vatheon. His SFC is pointed to the sky but anyone would be able to hear him distinctly over the network. ]

Blimey, ow. Ah, hell... it all hurts.

[ Ronald's prodding his cheek slightly with a thumb as he gets up. Truth be told, he's an absolute wreck. His uniform's bloody and a mess, his hair's disheveled and his glasses are being groped for before being put back on his face. ]

ow... owowowowowowow... Beastly, that's what he was. Not that I'd expected mercy... cor now, hold on...

[ And then he realizes he isn't on the ship anymore. ]

This isn't the Campania. Did I fall into the ocean then?

[ There's a sigh though as he strains to sit up, finally spotting the SFC and eyeing it curiously before picking it up. ]

...Don't think anyone can hear me through this, can they?

Comments

one day i will be timely gomen gomen

[raincoats]

Uhh, all of those..? Well, minus the bubble caving in part. That hasn't happened yet, at least... [ thank god. ] It's err, pretty unpredictable. I'm not sure how to explain it, actually. Oh, but they call them "curses"? Not sure how familiar you are with that kind of stuff though.

No worries. /o/ worth the wait.

[diehardreaper]

[ There's a moment where the look on his face is just incredulous. ]

Here I was going out on a limb and tossing out the first thing that came to my mind. Can't say I've seen any curses for myself but there's always a first time, eh?

[ Buuuut that's not gonna faze him. ]

Really no way of going home then?

ty ty!

[raincoats]

Not that I know of... Although if you ask around I'm pretty sure that everyone else will tell you the same. They kind of make it a point about having no clear-cut exits. Makes sense if you think about it though. I mean why else would they bring us here by force if we could just leave at anytime?

No problemo. <3

[diehardreaper]

Guess you've got a point there.

[ He seems to think this over a moment before suddenly brightening up. ]

Well, best to make the most of it then. Could prolly think of this as an extended holiday. Been needing one of those. Pity we're not getting paid though.

[raincoats]

[ his expression is somewhat inscrutable, but his tone remains optimistic all the same- ]

Yeah... That's how I like to look at it, anyway. Uh, but as for the paid part, believe it or not almost everything's free here! No clue why though. Maybe it's like a return for having to put up with all of this, y'know?

[ adachi was fairly pleased upon discovering this for himself. nothing like eating something different every night for once..! ]

[diehardreaper]

Free? Just as long as you're not joshing me on that, I'll prolly take your word for it that the city's not as bad as it lets on.

[ They can be optimism bros together. ]

Just as good as a paid holiday then. All expenses paid that is.

[raincoats]

Exactly! [ he likes that analogy. ] I mean the curses are kind of annoying but they usually fix themselves in a week so it isn't too bad. And if it's not a curse you can generally count on someone else to do if for you. Lots of.. energetic types.

[diehardreaper]

[ Isn't it the best analogy? ]

Well, bob's your uncle then. Best we make the most of what we've got here. City's a pretty enough sight and I'd wager there's lots to be done.

[ Brow raised though. ]

Bubble's full of gung-ho heroes, eh?

[raincoats]

Yeah, something like that. You know how kids are. Well, most of them are kids...

[ weirdos. weirdos everywhere and of all ages. ]

[diehardreaper]

Kids, eh? As long as they're old enough to fend for themselves...

[ There's a laugh though. ]

Kind of nice to see a little enthusiasm despite the circumstances though.

[raincoats]

Makes it easier, I'll tell you that.

[ less work = a cool thing. really good cop™ ]

As long as they're not biting off more than they can chew, y'know.

[ which happens.. a lot...

not that adachi really cares but he can driveby judge. ]

[diehardreaper]

[ And a laugh. ]

No kidding. Though I suppose there's its share of troublemakers round here?

I mean, apart from those curses, 'course.

[raincoats]

[ aight time to do what adachi does best and talk about crime- ]

Yep, plenty of those, too. [ his tone changes to something more arrogant, albeit with satirical amusement- ] Every once in a while you'll get some crazy guy who thinks it's a blast to blow up his own apartment or something like that. [ ... ] Heh, that was a pretty good one!

[ laughing at his own jokes 5ever. ]

[diehardreaper]

[ Can we talk about murder next, Mister Adachi? Oh please?

However, concerned look coming from Ronnie here. ]

...How does a bloke manage to blow up his own apartment? Even worse, why'd he want to anyway?
