on a reserve and p4g

[magatsu]

Whoa, hey there. Let's not get too hasty with this. I mean, I'm as happy as you are that you're looking at playing me again, but you've only just met Rise in this game and you and I both know how long it can take to get through the rest of it. Then again, the only really new thing involving me seems to be that Social Link, so I guess as long as you finish that in time we're both set.

Still, there could be some unexpected changes. I know what you're tentatively planning, but if you're refusing to look at spoilers until you properly beat the game don't get too upset if there's something unexpected and you have to change some plans.

Bee-tee-dubs. Protip from my mun to yours to not forget about the fast-forward option to get you through the shit you already know.

[ so what if she's been snooping on other threads what of it ]

[magatsu]

Oh... Right! I think he already forgot about that, actually, haha... Thanks for the reminder, though!

Um, how do you do that, again?

[drunkenfist]

Start button.

[magatsu]

Oh, right! Ahaha... What a silly thing to forget.

Anyway, it looks like if my mun does get his way, I'm seriously not going to know who you are.

[drunkenfist]

Yeeeeaaaah, mine's already been thinkin bout what to do with that.

[ she shrugs. it's a little saddening, but what can you do? besides, it's not like she's gonna ignore him or anything once he gets back. ]

[magatsu]

In a way, I guess it'll be like a fresh start, which isn't such a bad thing, really, but... It isn't really that, either. You'll still remember everything, and other people will remember me being there too.

[drunkenfist]

But you'll be coming back with a whole buncha new shit under your belt, Tohru! They'll get new things to learn bout you, y'know? C'mon, it won't be all bad.

[magatsu]

[He rubs the back of his head.]

I don't know, Roxy. Magic tricks aren't exactly what I'd call exciting or interesting, except maybe to someone like Nanako-chan, and there's no way in hell she or any other easily entertained little kids are going to end up there.

[drunkenfist]

What kinda magic tricks?

[magatsu]

Um... the simple kind? Making things disappear only to reappear behind your ear, in someone's pocket, that sort of thing. Nothing special, really.

[drunkenfist]

[ adachi this is a girl who's never seen real plants growing. of course she's heard of sleight of hand, but she's never seen it in action. ]

Show me.

[magatsu]

[Yikes, how demanding. Way to put him on the spot there.]

U-Um... Well, okay. [He digs into his pocket to fish out a coin.]

See this? [After he makes sure she's seen it, he closes his hand and opens it again to show it's no longer there! Like magic.]

Where did it go? I wonder... [And then Adachi seems to notice something!] Hang on, what's that? [He reaches his hand out only to pull a coin from out from behind Roxy's ear.]

Ta da! Pretty lame, right?

[drunkenfist]

[ actually, that was...



not the coolest trick ever, but certainly not the lamest she's ever seem. and that's okay! roxy probably couldn't do that all on her own, so knowing he's actually practiced shit like that enough to get good at it is impressive. ]

No way, dude! Do it again.

[ grinning and supportive, as always, but in addition to supporting his interest, she also wants to see if she can spot how the trick is done. ]

[magatsu]

Haha, what? Really? You want to see it again? Guess I can't say no to an enthusiastic response like that...

[Adachi lays the coin out on his hand again, closing his hand to pass the coin into his other hand, which closes into a fist and is held out to her.]

Here, why don't you try blowing on it? For good luck.

[drunkenfist]

[ "for good luck" he says. ]

Betcha you want me to blow on it for more than just luck.

[magatsu]

Well... I won't deny that, but it's part of the trick too! Come on, please?

[drunkenfist]

[ there's a naughty joke in here somewhere, but for once, roxy lets it slide so that she can gently blow on adachi's hand, smirking the whole time. ]

[magatsu]

[He opens it, and surprise surprise, the coin has disappeared!]

See?

[And then, reaching up with his other hand, he produces a coin from behind her ear once more!]

Nothing to it.

[drunkenfist]

[ BUT LOOK AT HER ADACHI, SHE LOOKS SO PROUD OF YOU. ]

For you, yeah. Shit like that takes like four goddamn years to learn. [ ok so that's an exaggeration. ] Look, I wouldn't know how to do stuff like that, so don't be so dismissive.

[magatsu]

Well, I'm sure that's just because you haven't had an opportunity to learn. Maybe I could teach you sometime. It's not too difficult to learn how to do it, but it's really the presentation that's the key and that's the sort of thing that takes practice. How good are you with your hands?

[drunkenfist]

'Kay, so when you're back there, you? Are so teaching me how to do this.

[ grin!!! ]

'Sides, you should know how great I am with my hands. Or do you want me to show you again?

[magatsu]

[He grins right back, but with a certain degree of mischievousness.]

I think I might need a little refresher. It has been a while, after all.

[drunkenfist]

'Kay. Get me a computer and I'll show you just how awesome these hands are.

[ she was talking about hacking. what did you think she was talking about??? ]

[magatsu]

Oh.

[Roxy no that's not what he needs a refresher on!!! Can you feel his disappointment? Is it tangible enough for you?]

Right. Ahaha... Sorry, but I don't really have a computer on hand...

[drunkenfist]

Welp, then I guess you're just gonna have to find out later.

[ poor adachi... ]
