New (extremely shaky) muse.

[tracerfist]

You don't know what you're doing, do you? Tch. Guess that's two of us, then.

You surprised? These assholes only have two settings: sadistic and clueless.

[tracerfist]

I think I can handle this. [Bullet, punching things isn't "handling it".] You're Ragna the Bloodedge, right?

[needsahand]

[Yeah Bullet. Sometimes you need to cut or stab something to handle it. Punching doesn't always work.]

Yeah that's right. Who wants to know?

[tracerfist]

[How about explosions? Those seem pretty decisive.]

Bullet. [Socialization: the dump stat.] You're not Sector Seven, so we don't have a problem. Not unless you want to start one.

[needsahand]

[The bigger the better. Who doesn't love fireworks?]

Thanks, but no thanks. I have enough people out for my head as is. Not really looking forward to adding to that list.

[And Sector Seven? Pfft, like hell he'd work for that crazy bitch Kokonoe. Bad enough he had to hear her in his head randomly.]

So. [How doe conversation.] Isn't it a bit early for you to be making an appearance? Not that my player's any better.

[tracerfist]

[Let's see them get up from that.]

You rack up enough of a bounty, what you want doesn't factor in. I've got bigger fish to fry, anyway. [As tempting as fighting him is, it isn't called for.]

[Bullet shrugs a shoulder.] It's early. She keeps saying my "dubbed fight voice" is out there now.

[needsahand]

[Bigger? Than him? He's tempted to say he sincerely doubts that, but he's thankfully not THAT much of a dumbass.]

Tch, you aren't telling me anything I don't already know, Bullet.

[But he waves it off.]

Yeah? Mine thought something similar with Azrael. Been real fun dealing with that asshole.

[tracerfist]

[Smart man. Kokonoe's going to be a pain to deal with. And then there's that other person who sent her comrades to extract Nirvana. He's up there on the shitlist, too.]

The Mad Dog, huh? Sector Seven's ghosts never lie quietly. Kokonoe's going to burn for what she's done.

[needsahand]

[ALL THE UNSURE. Kokonoe's a crazy bitch but he's not sure if he wants her dead.]

You've really got it out for Sector Seven. The hell they even do, anyway?

[tracerfist]

[Bullet's laugh is harsh and bitter.]

She hired us! Because of her... because of her and Relius Clover... my comrades died! The only reason I'm still here is because I was injured. It's her fault...

[Congrats, Ragna, you found a sore spot! Don't poke it.]

[needsahand]

[Poke? Ragna the Bloodedge? Never.

...WAIT HOLD THE FUCKING PHONE.]

Hang on, hang on, hang on. Are you implying that Kokonoe is working with Relius Clover?

[WHAT THE FUCK.]

[tracerfist]

Was. Once. Sector Seven stole a Nox Nyctores from Naiobi five years ago. Nirvana. That man- [The venom in her voice grows.] -That man planned the operation. He hired us as muscle. He'll pay right after Kokonoe.

[needsahand]

[His fists tightens up upon hearing her explanation. Figures. He thought maybe he could trust Kokonoe to some extent, but it seems that isn't the case. He knew she had some skeletons in her closet, but he failed to predict just how big that goddamn closet was. Of course, it's possible she's lying, but he knows that tone of voice. That bitterness and hate. He's been there.

Hell, he's still there. And that's why he just can't let this go.]

Tch, in that case best of luck. Be sure to give her a solid asskicking.

[tracerfist]

[If you live your life with nothing but battle and war for company, soon it's all that you know. All you have to tie you to a world outside of violence. Bullet tenses for a moment, teeth clenching. Then she exhales through her nose and gives Ragna a grateful nod.]

Just don't get in my way, Ragna the Bloodedge.

[needsahand]

Don't need to tell me twice. Besides, I've got my own shit to deal with and this is none of my business.

[zerohesitance]

Sometimes I ask my mun the same thing...

You're pretty new from what I've heard. [as far as released games go that is]

[tracerfist]

Yeah. I'm new. [And not the most social person ever. Whoops.] Big deal. I can fight just as good as the old hands.

[zerohesitance]

[the newcomer with a strong fighting spirit. at least she doesn't seem as cocky on the surface as Axl is. but he's not one to judge so easily]

I'll bet. Plenty of stories out there show someone new that have a lot of combat experience before being introduced.

[being a Maverick Hunter and no stranger to futuristic weaponry, her golden gauntlets happen to catch his eye. not something he'd expect to see on an otherwise normal-looking human]

[tracerfist]

Mercenaries, soldiers, it doesn't matter. We live our lives on the battlefield. It's what we're good at.

[If she sees Zero eyeing her gauntlets, she doesn't seem to care. She merely crosses her arms and settles into a casual stance. No point in sweating about it.]

[zerohesitance]

Heh. Guess we come from a similar style of life. My job is to destroy any AWOL Mavericks that threaten the human race.
