This mun can't wait for him to kick the bucket! 8D

[protectedsmile]

Really? You're taking me somewhere? Not that I'm excited about this since Tsukasa and Kaitou will be there but -

[Hold on a second. He'll stare at the subject line before looking genuinely shocked despite everything his mun has already hurled him into.]

Wait, what was that? What do you mean by kick the bucket!?

[thismighttickle]

... what, no one told you?

[protectedsmile]

Tsukasa! ...wait about what?

[thismighttickle]

What's going to happen to you.

[protectedsmile]

No, not really. Why? Does yours, Tsukasa?

[thismighttickle]

I know a little bit. Not everything, but enough. [shrug.]

[protectedsmile]

What did yours tell you? Ah! Was it about the world we're being sent to? Come to think about it I wasn't really told a thing about that either.

[thismighttickle]

Why should I tell you anything about it?

[protectedsmile]

Tsukasa?

[Yusuke's looking confused by that before a metaphorical light bulb goes off.]

I got it Tsukasa! You want me to learn about the world on my own just so I can be on guard about the dangers that might be there, right? That's it, isn't it?

[treasuretroller]

She seems quite confident in your survival skills, doesn't she?

[protectedsmile]

I can protect myself just fine! I mean, I'm Kuuga after all. Still...

[Feels bad, man.]

How dangerous can the world we're going to, be?

[treasuretroller]

It can't be any more dangerous than what we've already faced.

[...Then again, Daiki knows even less about all of this than Yuusuke, probably. His mun isn't very good with the whole 'telling him important shit' thing.]

[protectedsmile]

I figured! I guess that means we'd be going up against more monsters? I wonder what sort of Rider is in that world...

[He's assuming anyway. LIKE HIS MUN TELLS HIM ANYTHING TOO. Aside from throwing her head back and cackling on occasion.]

[treasuretroller]

[What is it with muns and laughing at their muses?? So weird. One would think they'd be up to something.

...in seriousness, Daiki's uncertain about what to expect, but he's not going to sit around worrying about it.]

Who knows. I'd rather see what sort of treasures can be found there. [Of course.]

[protectedsmile]

[Not worrying about it? That Yusuke can do too.

Plus it's a bonus that no matter what, Daiki was still Daiki. He'll smile at that.]

I'm sure there's something you can find there. ...although I wonder what kind of treasure they would have.

[treasuretroller]

There's only one way to find out, isn't there?

[Uh oh. That smirk can mean only one thing.]

[protectedsmile]

I guess that's true...

[Yusuke's looking thoughtful while crossing his arms. That smirk tho.]

But you can't go around stealing either, Kaitou! Remember the last time you got into trouble because of it?

[treasuretroller]

I have no idea what you're talking about. [Suspicious denial is suspicious.]

Besides, it's you and Tsukasa who are always getting into trouble.

[protectedsmile]

Kaitou...

[He's sounding a bit like a disapproving parent, but really. He knows whatever he said won't stop Daiki from doing what he does. Then again the same can be said with Yusuke, really.]

We're just trying to help, that's all! Even if it means getting into dangerous situations sometimes.

[treasuretroller]

[The same can be said for all four members of their little traveling group, honestly...]

If I can't tell you not to let your naive kindness get the better of you, then you can't tell me not to search for treasures to take. [Folding his arms now.]

[protectedsmile]

This and that are two different things, and you know it!

[He's pointing an accusatory finger in Daiki's direction. He takes offense to that, mister!]

[treasuretroller]

[But it's only true!]

At any rate, it would be foolish not to proceed with caution there, no matter what we find. Try not to leap before you think...I don't want to be inconvenienced in order to get you out of trouble.

[protectedsmile]

[T...that's not the point!]

I can be plenty careful! Besides, we've been in dangerous situations before right? If we work together we should be fine.

[treasuretroller]

[It's so the point! You just won't admit it.

In any case, Daiki can't help but smile back at Yuusuke.]

I suppose we've been through a lot together. ...But I'll be fine on my own.

[protectedsmile]

That might be true, but you know you can count us too.

[Says the dead m- I mean the most ...fluffy beetleman in spandex. Yes.]

We're a team, after all!

[treasuretroller]

[Daiki stuffs his hands in his pockets and breaks eye contact before he responds. This is just too much Kuugadere for him to handle maybe.]

...Yeah. I suppose we are.

[protectedsmile]

[He's tilting his head and staring at Daiki which is followed by a smile.]

Although I guess for now plans for that world is on hold from the look of things. Not that I mind since it just means we can go visit other ones.

[treasuretroller]

Seems that way. [Daiki looks back at Yuusuke again.] I'm already hunting for treasure in another world as we speak.

[In reality, he's still brainwashed and peaceful there, but soon...!]

Both worlds won't keep their treasure from me for long.

[protectedsmile]

Already?!

[Wait, why was he surprised here? Yusuke's shaking his head at that.]

I hope you're not causing any trouble along the way, Kaitou.

[treasuretroller]

[Daiki grins and laughs quietly at Yuusuke's reaction.]

What do you think? [Really Yuusuke? Do you know this man?]

[protectedsmile]

Kaitou....

[He's giving him that look. That pouty disappointed look.]

What did you do this time around?

[treasuretroller]

I wonder.

[...Still nothing yet, actually, but he won't admit that out loud. Also sorry Yuusuke, but no grumpy puppy looks will work on him right now.]

[protectedsmile]

Kaitou!

[He's putting his hands onto his hip, completely oblivious to Daiki's innermost thoughts (and lies).]

You really need to get along with others. What if they try to do something to you?

[treasuretroller]

[What are you, his mom?? In any case, Daiki casually shrugs.]

That's with the implication that they'll even be able to touch me. Besides, a little danger makes things more interesting, wouldn't you say?

[protectedsmile]

[Well maybe he is!! ...okay, he's not. Still Yusuke's looking thoughtful while crossing his arms.]

Well I gue...no! [He's not jabbing his finger in Daiki's direction.] No it's not fun! At all!

[treasuretroller]

[Aaand Daiki just laughs.]

Don't be so uptight, Onodera-kun. You've got to learn to loosen up every once in awhile.

[protectedsmile]

I'm not uptight, you're the one that's too loose!

[Take that Mr. Lol-this-camera-is-a-bomb-bye-Shinkengers Kaitou.]

[treasuretroller]

[Oh come on Yuusuke, even you have to admit that was hilarious.]

Whatever you say. [He approaches his pal, walking in that carefree way he tends to walk, and...raises one hand up to playfully push his face away. Wow, real mature there Daiki.]

[protectedsmile]

[It was no-askjfalskjflaslf!

Yusuke will flail a bit, before pulling away and giving a huge pout.]

Yeah, that's real funny.

whoops I just couldn't contain the gay it seems

[treasuretroller]

[Aww but you're so ridiculous when you flail like that. Still grinning, Daiki takes that same hand again, but this time uses it to touch Yuusuke's cheek, giving him an excuse to draw even closer. Aaaand peck - on the forehead, where he'd just shoved Yuusuke a second ago. Then he pulls away quickly and looks rather pleased with himself, before starting to walk off.

No words; he doesn't need to say anything clever to get the reaction he wants, or so he thinks. And it's a fairly confident thought.]

das rly gay yooooo

[protectedsmile]

[Yusuke's looking puzzled when Daiki reached for him again. Seeing that trademark grin of his coming closer he had no idea what exactly was running through the thief's mind.

Which was why he was completely taken by surprise by the peck. Freezing he stared at Daiki's back while reaching up to place a hand upon his forehead, and then back to Daiki.]

Wha...h-hey! Kaitou! Wait for me!

[He'll rush after Daiki.]
