Get back to work, please. We can discuss the possibility of recreational activities once your project is completed.

[exorcista]

So what do you do for recreation, I wonder?

[mr_glasses]

I'm sorry to say that I don't have much time to myself these days. I find I'm kept busy cleaning up the mess others have left behind.

[buddhas_gun]

I can't imagine that working as well on your mun as it does on Gojyo.

[mr_glasses]

Sanzo. That comparison was cruel, even for you.

[buddhas_gun]

If your mun is anything like mine, it's not unfair.

[mr_glasses]

Is yours really that bad? Perhaps you should go on strike.

[buddhas_gun]

That's more or less what this is.

What about you? Heading somewhere in particular?

[mr_glasses]

[ Good. There are far too many complacent people here as it is. But a world where Sanzo is stubbornly insisting on his own way is a world Hakkai can tolerate.

For now, anyway. ]

No. I've proven too difficult to manage in a game.

[ Somebody sounds smug. ]

We're still discussing whether I'll prove too difficult for memes as well.

[buddhas_gun]

[ It's been a long time, Sanzo knows how this shit works. Or doesn't, as the case may be. Been there, done that, didn't even get a goddamn t-shirt. He's reached a new level of zen not giving a fuck. ]

That sounds familiar.

... You know it'll be more of the same. Different format, same bullshit.

[exorcista]

How very inconsiderate of these individuals. [Smirks.]

[mr_glasses]

Terribly inconsiderate. I find one must look to the upbringing in these cases to find the cause of such behavior, don't you?

[ Yo momma, Hazel. ]

[mr_glasses]

Which is why I suspect I'll simply be found to be too complicated and time-consuming a character to portray accurately.

[ He's not going back. Not after that last game. ]

We have a prior commitment, Sanzo. [ In case you've forgotten. ] It's irresponsible of us to waste our time elsewhere.

[buddhas_gun]

[ Please. As if he could ever forget about that. ]

I'll pass that along to the chuckle-fucks that keep dragging me in here.

[ ...But what the hell did they do to him? Sanzo knows it's bad when Hakkai seems to be wound a little too tight even by, well, Hakkai standards. ]

[mr_glasses]

[ He found himself in a very unpleasant game. He's out of there now, with no lasting damage to any parties involved, but there is, pardon his language, no fucking way he's going to risk repeating that little experiment. ]

Mmm.

[ And for a slight change of topic... ]

I spoke to Gojyo a few days ago. He seemed far too interested in staying here. [ Well, not here here. In a game. ] And I don't recall the last time I saw Goku.

[exorcista]

Very true, indeed. Though I also believe that the company you keep can be just as strong an influence on bad behavior.

[He sighs dramatically. Poor Sanzo, having to travel with such a rag tag team!]

By the by, I like your user name. Did you choose it? [Grin grin.]

[buddhas_gun]

He would be. Not that anyone around here does too well when cooped up alone with too much time to think and nothing else to do.

[ Says the one who has made serious progress on a fresh pack of cigarettes since this conversation started. Still, if Gojyo was that eager to stick around here, then Sanzo can only imagine that he hasn't been fucked over by any of these games yet. That specific ignorance will probably be short-lived. ]

I saw Goku a few days ago. He seemed annoyingly cheerful, as usual.

[mr_glasses]

Certainly not. My sense of humor isn't nearly as juvenile as yours.

1/2

[mr_glasses]

I'm glad to hear it.

[ So they did all make it out. ]

Of all of us, he deserves... well.

[mr_glasses]

Sanzo, if you must smoke so much, please consider the lungs of others and open a window.

[exorcista]

Aw. Well now, there's no need for that. I thought it was rather quaint!

[buddhas_gun]

[ You know as well as he does that cancer isn't going to be what kills any of them, but that's not the point. Fine, he'll just grind that last one out in this convenient ash tray. ]

Yeah.

[ There's undoubtedly something witty to be said about the whole gang being here, but that's not his line. ]

Karma's a bitch, but we only have ourselves to blame.

[mr_glasses]

Did you really? I have to say, I knew your morals were questionable, but it seems your taste can't be trusted in any field.

[mr_glasses]

[ Wait what. ]

In what way do we bear any responsibility for our current situation?

[buddhas_gun]

I wasn't talking about this.

[ Never mind. He needs a beer. Or several. ]

So if you managed to make yourself unmanageable, what brought you back now?

[mr_glasses]

[ He'll drop it. For now. ]

Gojyo.

[ What else? ]
