Going to havenrpg, being taken from early Ep 5

[selflessselfish]

Hey, hey, what's the big idea? I just took a really big responsibility back home, you know! How am I supposed to protect everyone if I'm suddenly being taken somewhere else?! Your timing is really bad, you know.

What do you mean 'it was the best time to'? Saying cryptic stuff like that is pretty annoying, mun...


Well, whatever. I'll just have to beat whatever's making everyone suffer here so I can hurry on home! You'll see! I'll make short work of it and have enough time to brag.

Yeah, I know it's dangerous! I've known it's going to be dangerous since Mami and...hey, don't change the subject! I'll be fine, beat the bad guys, and get home in no time.

You still have a rotten attitude. [She's just gonna stick her tongue out at him.] I'll just have to protect the ones who don't do much while getting to the bottom of this.

A mystery? Are you some kind of detective or something?

[deciphering]

Wow, real mature. [EYEROLL] Have fun with that.

Only the best. See, unlike yours, my confidence is well-deserved. I've solved stranger cases in my freetime.

[selflessselfish]

[Edward, you are criticizing a middle schooler on maturity.]

Really? Like what?

[deciphering]

[how the mighty have fallen.]

I'm from a city where most crimes are perpetuated by costumed criminals. Use your imagination.

[selflessselfish]

...you're serious, huh?

So it's a whole city with a bad fashion sense or something? Or from comic books?

[deciphering]

It does seem a tad on the fantastical side, doesn't it? So-called supercriminals conspiring to rob, kill and otherwise turn the city into their own personal playground sounds like it would be the plot of some sort of pulp fiction novel, but I can assure you, it's all too real.

[Seeing several witches and all she learned in the past week or two alone already blew her suspension of disbelief in the water, thankfully.]

Is that why you dress like a walking Christmas tree?

1/2

[deciphering]

[he chuckles.] In my line of work, it -

2/2

[deciphering]

- Christmas tree?! [a little more wounded than he would've liked to sound, but whatever. the heat of the moment and all.]

[selflessselfish]

[She fails to suppress some laughter.]

Yeah, a Christmas tree! It's bright green, after all. Why do you dress like that?

[deciphering]

It - It's not -

[gosh, keep it together, eddie.]

It's just a suit. I have an office; I have to wear something professional.

[selflessselfish]

Okay, okay, I get that, but why is it bright green?

[She's not letting this go.]

[deciphering]

Why does there have to be a reason? I just like green, that's all. Do you see me making a big deal out of your fixation with the color blue?

[selflessselfish]

That's just how my hair is...

[Mumble mumble green jerk.]

[deciphering]

[bluh bluh blue brat.]

No kidding? Your head looks like a giant blueberry.
