back in the saddle?

[oftheturks]

It's good to be back, mun. Make it worth my while, yeah? I'm not here to waste too much time, you know.

Get to it.

[ginrouken]

Sounds like someone knows what she wants.

[ladylightning]

You sound like you know what you want out of this.

[oftheturks]

I don't like to be indecisive.

[oftheturks]

It's been boring here for a little too long.

[ladylightning]

If you really want on that boat, it's definitely going to be ... exciting.

[shinra_dog]

Hey there, girly. *mock salute and grin* You look good. Takin' charge an' kickin' ass?

[oftheturks]

The where I don't think I have too much of a choice, but it's a lot better than being here, doing nothing.

[oftheturks]

Is there any other way to do things?

[ginrouken]

Definitely not a bad thing.

Though I think the choice in setting that they're dropping us into leaves something to be desired.

[shinra_dog]

*laughs* That's the spirit, yo!

So -- ya gettin' sent off t' one of those "games?" Gotta say, it's more for them than for us, but you prob'ly already knew that.

Cissnei! EEEEE!

[thetrueme]

What sort of game would you already have a place in?

[expect_me]

Nice to see you around again, Cissnei.

[Shy monitor is a little shy.]

I hope your next game is OK.

[oftheturks]

At least I've fought monsters before.

[oftheturks]

We've both been at this long enough to know who has the real fun here.

:')

[oftheturks]

One like this one, I guess. We've both been out of commission as partners for a little while.

[oftheturks]

Nice to see you too, Anon.

Okay might be a stretch, seeing how it'll be for us in the future. But it'll be something to do, to keep me on my toes.

[ginrouken]

Hey, don't go putting words in my mouth - you wouldn't be the only one.

[And with a small flourish, he brings out two shortswords from behind his back, twirling them before putting them back.]

[expect_me]

That makes sense. The boredom does suck after a while, and I never thought I'd actually be saying that.

Somehow I don't think you'll have problems staying on your toes.

[oftheturks]

[She smirks and shakes her head.]

A professional monster-hunter?

[oftheturks]

I've been hearing all kinds of things but I don't think it should be too bad.

[Sephiroth and all.]

Too little to do makes you wish for anything, really.

[thetrueme]

Both? Are you referring to yourself and your mun here?

[oftheturks]

I am, yeah.

[expect_me]

[Ouch. He knows that feeling.]

I'm beginning to see that.

[thetrueme]

Ah. So is the game good for work force people like you and me?

[shinra_dog]

Hm. *chuckles then sighs* Workin' for Shinra, not too much surprises us anymore.

Hey -- you know where yer goin' yet?

[oftheturks]

I think so, yeah. Some ship named the Charon.

[oftheturks]

I think 'work force' might be irrelevant here.

[oftheturks]

We'll see if this is final or not, I guess. It's a lot of back and forth.

[shinra_dog]

... You're on a boat? *tries not to think of the song, this is serious business*

I dunno why, but that name kinda gives me the creeps, yo. Er, sorry, that was kinda blunt... I hope I'm wrong. But I'm sure you can handle whatever they throw at ya.

[ginrouken]

I prefer the term "protector of humanity", but same difference.

[oftheturks]

I'm not a fan of the name either, but it's where I'm headed. Besides, I was trained to handle this kind of thing. We both were.

[oftheturks]

A hero, hm? Remind me of the difference if we get the chance to talk again.

[shinra_dog]

Trained... yeah. *gets a bit grim thinking about it and where it's gotten him*

Look, I don't gotta tell ya the shit we've been trained t' take an' dish out, yo. But it's diff'rent when yer in it 24-7 without any time t' breathe, go home, or at least go down t' the bar down the street. People ain't built t' withstand that.

Just take care a' yerself, a'right? Can't have anythin' happen t' the prettiest Turk on the force, yo. *smile returns*

[ginrouken]

That I can do.

[He holds out a hand.]

Name's Rei.

[thetrueme]

Yeah but if people like us who have been specially trained to work in a force for a particular company had a game that best suited the skills we learned through that work, would this be the one?

[expect_me]

Good luck with it. I hope you stay safe.

[ladylightning]

Don't say that I didn't warn you.

[oftheturks]

[She takes it and shakes his hand in an extremely professional manner.]

I'm Cissnei.

[oftheturks]

I think I'll be able to handle it.

[oftheturks]

[She returns a very small smile. Cissnei does appreciate the concern, though.]

I will. I promise.

[oftheturks]

It might be. It depends on what the work was, really.

[oftheturks]

Thanks. You too, yeah?

[thetrueme]

My work is essentially the same as your work. I'm part of a special force that works for an energy corporation.

[shinra_dog]

Good. Good luck, yo. Keep me posted.
