dangan roleplay || Canon is TOME: Terrain of Magical Expertise

[d_bugged]

...ugh. I don't even know where to begin.

My mun keeps dragging me all over the place. First, she kept telling me I was an "indie" then she's putting me in this "game" where - apparently - they kill each other for enjoyment.

It's more than a little fucked up.

Second of all...I don't know how I'm able to be anywhere that isn't in TOME, seeing how my appearance is supposed to be a game avatar. Especially since - y'know - there's some shit going down in the game that kind of needs my attention right now. Why am I even here?

Also, someone tell her to can it with the shipping - I'm pretty sure Alpha is straight. Last time I checked, Kirb was, too.

... t--trust me, none of us did it for fun.

[ well most of them didn't

well some of them didn't

okay look the point is muderschool was fucked up, it fucked her up ]

I can't believe it's going to happen again. Wasn't twice enough times...?

oh no

[d_bugged]

Oh? I'm assuming you've been there, then.

[no really, kizuna

what made you assume THAT]

Whatever. If it's something I can get out of easily, I'll get out of it. I really don't have the time for this.

[stitchedupbodyguard]

No, it... wasn't for fun...

[....Okay, she shrugs lightly.] W-well, most of us didn't do it for fun.

It's not something I would recommend. You might not survive if you go.

[d_bugged]

....yes, that's what I'm gathering.

[Sighs -

wait

wait what

...that kind of catches her off-guard. Kizuna gets herself together, and tries not to make any notice that she has emotion.]

I-I understand that I might die, but I don't have time to die. Other people might die where I'm from, and I seriously need to help them.

[stitchedupbodyguard]

[There's something in Kizuna's words that catches Veronica. It registers quite clearly on her face as she gives and agreeing nod.]

I know what you mean. I was always worrying about my family back home. I had a job to do, and I couldn't stay there forever.

[So, she only stuck around for the first seven weeks. Still counts!]

[double_edged_gun]

[Oh hey. Fancy seeing you here. He's about to comment but - ]

What was that about Alpha and I?

[oh god

oh god he doesn't know about shipping

dear lord, someone have mercy on this poor fashion disaster's soul]

[d_bugged]

[Oh hey it's you

god save these two, the mun's losing her shit]

It's nothing. Aren't you supposed to be with him on that mission, anyway?

[double_edged_gun]

[That's just going to earn an aloof non-answer. The way his brows crease suggests frustration, but he's not going to voice it. Or maybe he's still kicking himself over it. That's more likely, honestly.

...he's just going to shift the subject along.]

Sounds like your mun has something bad planned. Do you need a hand?

[Or a friend in an unfamiliar place?]

these two have no hope tbh

[d_bugged]

[...Ignoring everything as always.]

No, I've got it. It'll just be a hassle. As usual, I get no down time. Unlike someone else here...

[SHSL Sharp Shooter more like SHSL Guilt Tripper, right? Her eyes shoot directly towards the blue-haired man, a "tch" escaping from her mouth.]

[double_edged_gun]

[He's heard this enough so that he barely flinches, although the pout frown that crosses his face does look vaguely guilty.]

It's not like I've never invited you along or anything.

[You're more like SHSL No Fun Allowed, Kizuna.]

[d_bugged]

Maybe if it wasn't for your friend getting the most dangerous virus known to mankind, I would have gone along with you.

[The plot's a cruel mistress, Kizuna.]

[double_edged_gun]

That wasn't his fault. You and I both know that.

[...you do, don't you?]

[d_bugged]

[Oh, she knows, don't worry - mostly because of the same certain person in front of her.]

Whatever. Your mun isn't thinking about putting you in this "game", aren't they..?

[double_edged_gun]

My mun's considering sending another character there, though they might send me if you're going. Something about canons should stick together.

[He's the complete opposite of thrilled about it, not that you can tell by his offhand tone. If they both get in though, having Kizuna around would be comforting. Lord knows they've been through some shit.]

[d_bugged]

Hmph. Sounds good enough. Though...

[Nope, not gonna think about it. Nope. Nnnnnnnnnnnope. Subject change pls.]

...is everyone doing alright?

[double_edged_gun]

[It's not like you to ask about them and he knows it, but he'll just play along.]

They're all hardheaded and stubborn idiots who don't know when to back down, even when they should.

[It's almost a fond smile, but it looks too guilty to pass for fondness. Yep, kicking himself too much over the conversation with Alpha.]

[d_bugged]

[She chuckles, and then looks up at him.]

Sounds like someone I know.

[double_edged_gun]

Oh, really now? Because it sounds like someone I know too.

[He manages an almost smile, offering her a pointed look.]

[d_bugged]

[It's kind of nice to talk like this again, though she hates to admit it. They never really get to have a converstion not about work, because, well, Kizuna is always working. Zetto's off doing whatever-the-fuck on Kirb, so Kizuna's left alone with her army of Hackers. The work is put to good use, though..! At least, that's what she hopes.

However, despite this, she still furrows her brows.]

Shut up.

[She means it in the nicest way possible, of course.]

[double_edged_gun]

If you insist.

[He offers a noncommittal shrug, a tiny not-quite-smile still on his lips. It's nice, being able to banter like this. It reminds him of before this all happened.

The not-quite-smile fades a little, his brows creasing in concern.]

I'm keeping you up. You should get some rest, even you can't run optimally for so long.

[d_bugged]

...if only it were that easy. As long as the mun stays awake, I'm forced to be awake. It's a kind of crappy deal I'm in. At this rate...I don't think she'll go to sleep any time soon.

[She sighs. She'll go to bed eventually, Kizuna, don't worry.]

[double_edged_gun]

Well, whenever you do manage to disengage from here, get a good night's rest. You deserve it, after all the work you do.

[Same level tone as always, but the wamrth of his words does manage to reach his eyes. Whaddya know, turns out Zetto is capable of Genuinely Showing He Cares every once in a while.]

Take care of yourself, Kizuna.

[Please don't get dead at murderschool.]

[torya]

... Yes, I have. It wasn't enjoyable and it wasn't easy to get out of.

You'll probably die, you know.

[ no point in sugar-coating her words, especially not when it comes to this. ]

And there probably won't be anything you'll be able to do about it.
