trying to decide on a second character for box_network

[gunsgoldgirls]

Me or Kyrie, huh? Yeah, that's a tough one for sure. I mean, I'm just plain great, and she's competent. How can anybody be asked to decide!

The only gentlemanly thing to do, of course, is offer myself up if it's somewhere dangerous. Gotta protect my wife and all.

But nah I'm no gentleman, and Kyrie's the last person that needs protecting, she'd probably be offended if I tried to pull that. Plus she'd just be left to worry about me instead, right? So go on, take her instead! She's way more likely to survive, I got no doubt in my mind she would do just fine!

[aaand sort of cross-post with Kyrie instead]

[Wow, seriously, dude? Come on.

Dorian Gray's judging you.]

How chivalrous. There is something of a difference between respecting a partner's right to agency and shoving them into the lion's den, you realize.

[Don't listen to him. He murders, like, 75% of his lovers and damns the rest.]

[gunsgoldgirls]

...

There is?

[depicted]

[oh my god]

You don't realize.

[SERIOUSLY?]

[gunsgoldgirls]

She's really good at stuff, plus she'd freak out if I got hurt, so...you know.

[depicted]

You said, 'take her instead.'

[gunsgoldgirls]

Huh, guess I did. What's your point?

[depicted]

None, really. I suppose I was just questioning what someone could possibly see in you. Particularly a woman of such strong character.

[gunsgoldgirls]

Plenty! I'm a hot commodity, I'll have you know!

[gabrielbefore]

Your respect for her is touching, Rudolf. I'm sure you'd wait for her faithfully, and not use her absence as an excuse to throw yourself at anyone pretty and female who crossed your path.

[gunsgoldgirls]

Hey, c'mon, what do you take me for, aneki?

[gabrielbefore]

I take you for Ushiromiya Rudolf, a man with an eye so wandering it probably has its own passport.

[gunsgoldgirls]

Where the eye goes, the body goes too...

[gabrielbefore]

Exactly. Sigh, I'm not sure how Kyrie stands it.

[gunsgoldgirls]

She doesn't mind.

[HAHAHAHA]

[gabrielbefore]

*oh my god Rudolf*

Is it nice, living in a reality all your own?

[gunsgoldgirls]

It's roomy, maybe some company'd be nice once in a while but, better than crowded.

[gabrielbefore]

At least you're honest, I suppose.

[gunsgoldgirls]

No point beating around the bush, right? Besides, trying to lie would just give you the upperhand.

[gabrielbefore]

Oh, you make me sound like some sort of evil mastermind, Rudolf!

[gunsgoldgirls]

You're not?

[dameda]

[Just.. so much head-shaking. Really, old man? Really?]

[gunsgoldgirls]

Hey, hey, what're you shaking your head for, brat?

[dameda]

Because you're being an idiot, you old bastard.

[DUH]

[gunsgoldgirls]

Like you've got room to talk!
