 Alright! High-five! Really glad we're on the same page, 'cuz like, for a while there, I didn't think you were ever going to give me a go. I mean, so the username might not be the best choice ever, and I can live with that, I really can, but maybe you should go ahead and watch my movie just a couple more times before you think about joining any games or making any ball-and-chain commitments.

Okay. Whew. Lotta stuff right there. Just a couple more things though. Official novelization? Take a peek, can't hurt. And uh, go grab some more icons. I swear I can make expressions that aren't ones where I may or may not be shitting my pants. And please, man, don't watch too much of that TV show with that dude who kind of looks like me. You might end up thinking I'm stupid or something, which I'm totally not. Right?

I wouldn't say "stupid".

Eccentric, sure. But that comes with the territory of giant robot stories.

... Though out of curiosity, you wouldn't happen to know if any parts of a Kaiju are edible, would you?

[kaijurockstar]

I mean, I wouldn't be asking for a plate of Kaiju sushi anytime soon, but there are certain things you could eat if that's your kind of thing. Like, teas and powders and stuff.

[empress_without_a_throne]

Tea?

[Mizuki's eyes light up when he mentions that.]

I'd actually be able to have tea?!? I'd finally be able to see what all the fuss is about it being able to steady nerves and everything!

[kaijurockstar]

Mmmeeeeyaaaaah, 'bout that. Did the research, dunno about the validity of it. Sucks too, because I was pretty ready to hop on the train and try some of those babies out.

[kaiju_prince]

For someone who's "on the same page" that's... an awful lot of changes your asking for. Not that I necessarily blame you or anything.

[kaijurockstar]

Hey, man, when it's your time to shine, you milk that moment for all its worth.

See, us "science guys" aren't really the big stars of the show, so when we get even a teeny-tiny chance to have things done our way, you better bet I'm showing everyone all my genius ideas.

[kaiju_prince]

No offense, but I'm not exactly a fan of "science guys." I get enough odd looks as it is, just based on my skin-tone. I don't exactly begrudge you the sciencey stuff... but, whatever.

Though, I will say I'm not sure "showing everyone all your ideas" is necessarily a good idea in itself.

[kaijurockstar]

No worries, man. I only research Kaiju anyway. Biology, behavior, their toxicity. And, well, seeing as you're not a 20-something story tall interdimensional monster, that puts you in the clear. Heh.

(Have a cheesy and slightly apologetic grin.)

Why's that? I'll get called crazy? 'Cuz if that's the case? Way too late.

[kaiju_prince]

Only half in the clear.

[He shakes his head, scratching his head awkwardly.]

Not necessarily, just there are a lot of guys here with really short tempers and the ability to level city blocks with a thought.

[kaijurockstar]

I'll take what I can get. 50%'s still better than zero.

Yeah, I don't think my mun's going to do that. Don't even think an aluminum can's in danger of being leveled around them, but thanks for the warning. (Duh, he's brilliant. He's got this all figured out.)

[kaiju_prince]

[Duncan's not going to ask why the guy isn't more curious about why Duncan is only half in the clear. He figures it just hasn't sunk in just yet.]

Good to hear. There are some muns that let that stuff happen, so didn't know if yours was one or not.

[danger_prone]

[He's just going to be standing there in the doorway chuckling. Wow.]

Some things never change. How you doing, doc?

[kaijurockstar]

Not too shabby, considering I almost got eaten three times and I didn't even crap my pants.

(Though he almost might have. Maybe.)

Oh, and drifting twice? Totally no permanent effects, baby.

(No one can tell if he's gotten crazier, right?)

So this? This whole, mingling around with a smorgasbord of weirdos... not too hard after all that stuff.

[danger_prone]

[His eyebrows go up a little over the 'no permanent effects' but hey, he's really not the one to call Geiszler on that. He admires the guy though. Driftings not something just anyone can do and he's pretty sure kaiju aren't considering drift compatible candidates. Geiszler might just be a little bit crazy - but he's not going to knock the guy for it. He's the reason they closed the rift.]

That's a really good way to look at it. Managed to get into any trouble anywhere yet?

[hardhousehitter]

Drifting with kaiju. Stupid.

But you also saved lives, so thank you.

[She's being nice, for her.]

[kaijurockstar]

Coming from you, that means a lot.

The saving lives part, I mean. Not the whole "you're a stupid dude, spiel." I get the latter one enough on a daily basis from Dr. Gottlieb.

[hardhousehitter]

[Her lips twitch upwards at the edges.]

Do not get used to it. [Compliments from here are rare things, after all.]

Dr. Gottlieb made leap of faith for you. Do not worry so much.
