on picking up ooooold muses

[chainreaping]

After two years, I don't think either of us was really expecting this. I was sure you'd pick Kurosaki-san before you looked my way again. I'm not complaining - it's a chance to catch up with familiar faces.

If you're telling me to get comfortable again, I guess I only have one thing to say: welcome back, mun.

Good on 'em for rememberin' ya' - I don't think many have. Heck, I sure didn't.

So lemme guess...seated right? No, you got the look of a lieutenant about you. Hmm...

[Yeah he's just screwing with you.]

[moralizes]

Take it as a compliment, you won out over the important guy. While the rest of us are just cannon fodder.

[chainreaping]

( A look. But he's going to be the bigger man here and shrug it off as best he can. )

Not all of us can have be as memorable as certain people.

[chainreaping]

Being more cooperative and level-headed than the 'important guy' puts you on a level above them, apparently.

[moralizes]

Somehow, you really are the most calm and collected of anyone I know. It's rare someone actually puts any weight in that.

[Somehow. ...Nah Hisagi's pretty good for that. Although normally it wouldn't be saying much. When the competition consists mainly of Renji and Rangiku..... Take it as you will]

... so my not serious / comical hisagi icons are seriously lacking..

[chainreaping]

It's not hard to be when you're from where we are.

( Seriously, Kira. Most of the other shinigami are pretty batty. )

But thanks.

but that one's beautiful ...also woops hit something wrong ignore me

[moralizes]

[Oh doesn't he know.]

I guess you don't have any competition, really. ...Do you ever feel you're too good to be associated with the rest?

it iiisss and haha, no worries. it happens!

[chainreaping]

( He gives Kira a look - surprised by the question. There's no hesitation in the answer that follows. )

No. ( He shakes his head. ) Sometimes I feel like it's the opposite.

[moralizes]

...Really? Why's that?

[He'd been expecting a no, but not the rest.]

[lookingfordragon]

I wouldn't be so surprised, muns are pretty strange about picking us.

[chainreaping]

( He offers a small quirk of lips. )

It's hard to explain. But I'd say it's a good thing. ( It keeps him from getting cocky. )

[chainreaping]

Yeah, I'm noticing.

[moralizes]

Well, yes, of course. Still, though.

....Please just tell me I'm not the only one who feels he's locked in with morons.

[chainreaping]

No, you're not.

( Trust him, you're not. )

[moralizes]

Good. It should have been said long ago, thank you for being sane.

[He's really grateful for this, you're the best, Hisagi.]

Again, no surprise you were chosen, then.

[chainreaping]

( A small chuckle.

You're welcome, Kira. )

I don't give it long before Kurosaki shows up, regardless.

[moralizes]

Well, so long as you're not put on the backburner in his place, right?

[chainreaping]

I doubt it. I was their 'first'. I take that to mean I'm in it for the long haul with them.

[moralizes]

[He nods. It's the same for him.]

That tends to be how it goes. I guess there's some sentimentality.

[chainreaping]

Yeah, that and I like to think it means I don't get volunteered for some of the more brutal ideas that pass through my mun's head.

[moralizes]

...Are you really that naive?

[chainreaping]

No. But it helps me get through the day when they're feeling more sadistic than usual.

[moralizes]

No one is ever safe, Hisagi-fukutaichou. In fact, you may be in a worse position than others.

[chainreaping]

Yeah, I know. Compared to a lot of the others, I've had it good.

[moralizes]

Two years of freedom must be nice...

[weak laughter...]

Have fun making up the time.

[chainreaping]

I give it about a week before they find a game they want to join.

[moralizes]

Good luck. At least the majority aren't accepting anyone new for a few weeks yet, you might have time to prepare...

[chainreaping]

Yeah, that's what it looks like.

Until then, it'll probably be a lot of memes.

[moralizes]

A much more favourable option

...Depending. Usually, that is.

[chainreaping]

Awkward is the word I'd use.

( Nothing like being propositioned with handjobs by your captain via text message. )

[moralizes]

...That too, I suppose.

[wow you win]

Not that an exchange of stories is necessary here.

[chainreaping]

Thanks.

( He appreciates it, really. )

[titillation]

Wait until they start looking for games... Then you might start complaining.

[moralizes]

I'm really only looking out for myself here.
