Considering theinstitute and he's not happy.

[last_to_kneel]

Mun, listen up!

I'm not about to go there to become some costumed lacky, got it! I'm not all that impressed with how they run things like some twinkle toes think they can do things better at surviving. Don't make me gag. Don't think for a moment that you're gonna giggle at my expense if they manage to succeed in getting me in tights! You can forget it.

In this case, yellow and blue does not make green.

[He punches his fist into his open hand with a smirk.]

It makes for one nasty looking bruise.

Making an impression, are you?

[last_to_kneel]

Always!

[Yep, he's grinning from ear to ear.]

You know me. Gotta make it count, for what it's worth. Got a question for ya. Why do heroes wear the dumbest shit if they're supposed to be so badass?

[denyamenti]

The same reason they make long pontificating speeches about friendship, I'd presume.

[last_to_kneel]

[mumbles] I need to look that word up. Yeah, ain't that the truth. I'd fall asleep listening to that boring speech day in and day out. Can't think of something original? Start reading more books, right?

[denyamenti]

Only if the book includes a picture of you in such an outfit.

So your mun intends this to be your new home?

[last_to_kneel]

Heh, not a chance.

[He clears his throat and looks off to the side quickly.]

Sort of. She's looking at making me an infiltrator, something that I couldn't do in Facility, plus I get a cool power set. Puts me back in the Bad-Guy category though. Oh well.

[denyamenti]

An infiltrator, hm.

The last time you had a cool power, you couldn't wait to get rid of it.

[last_to_kneel]

That's because it made me feel weird. This is supposed to be something I'm born with so it's not really a forced issue...unlike the last one. Heightened agility, better reflexes and environmental awareness fits me pretty well.

[denyamenti]

It sounds like you'll do well there.

[last_to_kneel]

We'll see. Gotta kick a few in the teeth though.

[denyamenti]

What about the shemayt?

[last_to_kneel]

The what? You mean dueling? I don't think it'll fit but the armor I have is stolen stuff. Gotta love the military and their anti-mutant weapons.

[denyamenti]

The songstress, you dolt.

[last_to_kneel]

[He smacks his head. God, he misses her.]

I'll have to keep in touch with her. I might not be able to see her again in the same game, but I'll remain faithful. Don't know how this works, but if you see her, let her know that I'm still hers.

[denyamenti]

I will, though I don't know if I'll see her back there without your accompaniment.

It appears this is where we part ways, iqedaw.

[last_to_kneel]

[His jaw tightens. There are some things that are simply avoidable and he holds out his hand. The smile returning to his face. He never could stay down long.]

Yeah, but ya know, it was a wild ride while it lasted. I'll keep ya updated, Bakura. Mun says she'll keep in touch with yours. She likes her, ya know.

[denyamenti]

Oh, mine's expressed the desire to continue being, pardon the expression -- [ he grimaces slightly ] -- thick as thieves with yours. I only meant you and I may not run into each other again outside of places like these.

[ and all gruffness aside, his tone indicates that to be an unwelcome realization to the thief ]

Though it's not certain. I can find useful scenarios just about anywhere.

[last_to_kneel]

Pfft, knew you still had that grim outlook about you. Still, we'll meet again. I'm out there from time to time. You know me. Gotta go where the wind takes me. Find adventure, be in the world, I couldn't do it in that place.

[He's still holding his smile but it's laced with a bit more determination than resignation.]

[denyamenti]

Aa, I know. I would be lying to say I didn't also want something more than experiment week after week.
