Unknown territory, mixed information, and no weapons. What good is a blind sniper in a hostile situation? And don't tell me it'll be easier to scout with a network. That kind of bone-digging is more of the First Lieutenant's game, isn't it?

And no. I wouldn't have sex with my own clone.

Depends on how good of a sniper you are.

And if you're flipping out over all of that, I'm willing to bet you aren't that good.

[Or Jason is trying to be as abrasive as possible to push back just ... because that's what he does.]

[ffp]

[hello unstoppable force, this is immoveable object.]

You'll have to forgive me, I'm only human. When I'm thrown practically bound and blindfolded into a place several hundred years ahead of my time, I tend to falter.

It has no bearing on innate skill, luckily.

[revolting]

We're both human.

[As if that's actually a thing that needs to be defined.

(Spoilers: it does.)]

So, let's go to a better question. What are you needing to kill? [A beat.] Or who?

[ffp]

[at this point, it actually does]

I was being to think you were some kind of omniscient creature the way you were so quick to condescend. Thank you for clarifying.

[:^)))))))]

Potentially, people. People with...abilities.

[revolting]

With ... abilities. Wow. That's both extremely broad and extremely worrying.

Are we talking aliens? Metahumans? Jeff Bezos?

[ffp]

[meta....humans??????? who the fuck is jeff bezos]

I'm not sure what you'd call them. The closest I've come to anyone close to having superpowers is a lucky grunt surviving bear attacks. Maybe someone eating parts of people and not deteriorating from it.

[revolting]

Right.

So, what's your deal with them? What's the aim? Why these types?

Or do you think it's all just cannibalism?

[theweakhavepurpose]

No weapons? Get the hell out of there. I have no idea where you are, but that sounds like a good way to get killed.

... is there a clone of you where that would be an issue?

[ffp]

I guess I could kill someone with my own hands if need be. It's just so...barbaric.


Unfortunately, yes.

[theweakhavepurpose]

Not real useful if there's more than one of them either. Choking someone out isn't gonna cut it when there's ten people with knives.

[ffp]

You're right, though I'm not in the practice of getting myself surrounded. I'm not so stupid to go for kills I can't follow through on.

[or letting his victim see him at all, really]

But let's say worse comes to worse. Any neighborly words of wisdom?

[theweakhavepurpose]

Hide. Run away.

Survival is more important than killing an enemy. And if that fails, pray they don't take you alive.

[Optimistic little bundle of cheerfulness isn't he?]

[ffp]

[ogata understands that not everyone can be a ball of sunshine and he appreciates it]

Live to fight another day. Simple, effective, though not something I'm unfamiliar with. It sounds as if you're familiar with capture, though. Practically friends.

[sweariff]

You got this far on your own, didn't you? You gotta be worth more than your weapons. What kind of soldier isn't?

[The kind that's literally about to go fuck himself he guesses.]

[ffp]

[the kind of soldier that hangs onto his sniper rifle like a security blanket]

Well, that's certainly affirming. I'll survive and adapt, as I always do. I just hate being inconvenienced.

[sweariff]

And I hate having to wake up at the ass crack of dawn every day just to get at the hot water before the rest of my building does. We can't have everything we want.

[This is completely applicable.]

[ffp]

If only everything could have such a simple solution.

[the hot water........runs out????] It doesn't stay hot? Pretty poor baths, I'd say.

[sweariff]

Why can't it? Either put up or shut up. Thought that was one of the first things you learn when you become a soldier.

—Well, I live in a pretty crummy apartment with bad plumbing that never seems to stay fixed for long. It's probably cursed. [He actually means it. There's an entire floor filled with witches and wizards, it's not hard to believe he probably pissed one off without thinking.]

[ffp]

[bigby pisses off three people before even walking out of his apartment]

You have indoor plumbing? I thought you meant communal baths. I'd say you're more blessed than you think.

[brainbits]

Is it really? I suppose you're right.

You should give yourself a little more credit though, Hyakunosuke.

[he's just having fun, don't mind him... or do]

[ffp]

[he's minding super hard right now]

I don't think it's really proper for an officer to call an enlisted man by his first name. Sir. Though I'm glad you still have such high regards for me.

[:3ccccccccccc]

[brainbits]

[good. it makes him happy, yet fuels his intolerance towards traitors. it's complicated...]

You say that as if I haven't done so before. I think we're past needing to be fully proper with each other when other officers aren't around.

[having a bit of a particular reputation kind of helps too.]

I'd like to think I've always had a good eye for capable people in the division, despite their personal issues.

[╰(◉ᾥ◉)╯]

[ffp]

I suppose you're right. After all, I'm really no longer part of your division.

[he's trying to find a button to press right now. as much as he thinks he knows tsurumi's mo, he really doesn't.]

I can agree with that. And what a ragtag, bunch of misfits you've managed to collect.

[brainbits]

You're always welcome to come back if you can't find your footing.

[kind of. not really. debatable.]

I try to give everyone a fair chance.

[but tsukishima might be the only one who doesn't need babysitting... oh, is a slight migraine coming on just thinking about it? perhaps.]

[ffp]

I think it's time I flew from the nest. [and straight into hijikata's.]

Not that you really ever needed me when you've got someone as loyal and dependable as Sergeant Tsukishima. Or the Second Lieutenant. All completely swept up by your charm.
