He doesn't quite realize he's *actively* petitioning to be stuck on the same game. (...Or does he?)

[shagojyo]

Yooooo!

I can't believe you're thinking of trotting me out just to help that shitty monk... and then you think you're going to put me away again!

The Sha Gojyo experience is a full package, I'll have you know!

You can't just-- hey! Stop walking away from the keyboard when I'm yelling at you!

I know you can hear me. Tch, no wonder you like that pissy priest; you're just like him.

Oi! Listen up!

[beauty_tokito]

No wonder they're walkin' away from you. You're really loud.

[shagojyo]

Heeeeey, some people just don't listen unless you're loud.

And this one's worse than the monkey.

[beauty_tokito]

They might hear you if ya scream at 'em, but that doesn't mean they'll listen.

What's so bad about having a chance to stretch your legs, anyhow?

[shagojyo]

It's not the stretching that's the problem.

The being trotted out for one 'scene' and then being put away again, that's what I gotta problem with.

[beauty_tokito]

Oh.

... Well, don't let 'em, then.

[ Genius, Tokito. Pure genius. ]

[shagojyo]

That's why I'm yelling!

Speaking of--

I know you're reading this, ya bastard! Oi!

[beauty_tokito]

Hey, don't yell in my face. Geez. Where's the guy that smiles all the time, anyway? Maybe he could get them to listen.

[shagojyo]

Hell if I know...

[mr_glasses]

Do you really think shouting at them will work?

[shagojyo]

Mm-maybe? Gimme a break, nothing else has worked!

[mr_glasses]

You could always threaten to hold your breath.

[ You big baby. ]

[shagojyo]

Oi Hakkai, this bastard's as bad as the monk! He'd just time me!

[grumbling] No one seems to get what I'm dealing with, here.

Y'know the bastard also plays a pacifist? How in the hell does that work?

[mr_glasses]

Someone who solves their problems while abstaining from violence? I can't possibly imagine.

[shagojyo]

Yeah, yeah, 'cuz you're just the picture of peace yourself.

Point is, he can get along with that guy, but still pull this shit on me? What gives!

[mr_glasses]

Ah. I take it the help in question is martial in nature? I've never known you to back away from a fight, Gojyo. ...Especially when it offers the opportunity to help Sanzo.

[shagojyo]

Oh no, see, he wants me to talk to him. And then leave.

Something about a 'roleplay sample' so his unholiness can 'get onto the game', cree-py! But the leaving is the part I'm pissed at... like I come out of a vending machine!

Bastard should either put me out there, or not! These half-measures piss me off!

[mr_glasses]

Do you really want to go?

[shagojyo]

You know what? I...


...


I don't even know, man.

What's with our gang and always gettin' split up for this shit?

[mr_glasses]

[ Well, he doesn't have a choice. If Sanzo's there alone, one of them has to go keep an eye on him. Not that Hakkai's particularly happy about the idea of Gojyo and Sanzo being left alone together again.

And where has Goku gotten off to? ]

I suggest thinking of it as a vacation, Gojyo. We'll be back fighting for our lives before we know it!

[shagojyo]

Ha! I suppose you're right.

[ to both the spoken and the unspoken; Gojyo can be subtle too... in his own special Gojyo way ]

[mr_glasses]

[ One cannot make a living playing a game of deceit without developing some ability for subtlety... even if it can be often difficult to imagine Gojyo as anything other than the brash, overly loud (malodorous, foul-mouthed, classless, perverse, physically presumptuous) creature that he is. ♥


Also: I suppose you're right?

Gojyo.

He's always right. ]

Mmm. So where has our dear leader found himself this time?

[ Please say it's the one with the small fuzzy animals. He would so love that mental image. ]

[shagojyo]

[ Yes, yes, teeeeaaacher. ]

He ain't there yet, but it's some weird place with 'soul gems' keeping people alive. And it's on the back of a gigantic turtle? I mean like mega super ultra gigantic. Sounds weird as hell, yanno?

With my luck, my damn stone would be red, too. Bet Sanzo's is granite, gemstones be damned. And I bet it smells like his nasty marlboros.

[ Hi-lite's the superior brand of cancer stick, okay. It just is. ]

[mr_glasses]

Red's a lovely color.

[ But he's distracted by the idea of 'soul gems'. It's bad enough that they have no real say in the places they end up (although that's the same back home too, isn't it?). But having your life tied to an foreign object... he can't say he approves.

Ah. Sanzo isn't there yet, though, is he? Good. Then there's time to prevent his abduction.

Mind made up, his favorite fake smile firmly in place, Hakkai's ready to do combat. ]

Shall we get going?

[shagojyo]

Yeah, I guess so.

[ An answer to the former or the latter? Both? Gojyo leaves it up in the air. He's sneaky like that. ]

[badly_behaved_priest]

...

[shagojyo]

Oi.

[badly_behaved_priest]

......

[shagojyo]

...Oi.
