Terminal Tokyo/themainframe Reserves! They are open! One of us!

[knightfan]

You're such a dumbass. I don't wanna hear "I know" because if you knew, then you'd get it through your thick skull that no one else is coming. Three of us is fine, ain't it? You're not the one who'd have to put up with them if they came, anyway. I am. I might've had the patience a few months ago, but hell, I can barely stand the thought of putting up with anyone else from my world.

Does that mean you don't wanna put up with me either?

[knightfan]

[ ... ]

You and Fujin are exceptions.

[captaineering]

Awww yeah! I knew you couldn't resist us, ya know?

[knightfan]

But it ain't like you're comin', either.

[captaineering]

I would if I could though, ya know?

[knightfan]

Really? Why?

[captaineering]

Cause not only would I get to hang out with my bff but I'd be surrounded by giant talking bugs! Do you know how cool that would be?

[knightfan]

...I hate to break it to ya, but I haven't seen all that many bug Digimon.

[captaineering]

..... Really?

[knightfan]

Really. But it ain't like I've been actively seeking them out.

[captaineering]

.... I hope that ain't true. That there ain't no bug digis ya know?

[nagyka]

You have nothing to worry about. The sentiment is mutual.

[knightfan]

Don't worry, "Instructor" Trepe. You have the honor of being at the top of my list. Congratulations.

[nagyka]

I'm afraid your little lists lack any meaning to me. You'll have to try a little harder if you're aiming for me to offer you the negative attention you thrive on.

[knightfan]

Too bad you're givin' me the "negative attention I thrive on" by talkin' to me here in the first place. Guess you didn't think that one through.

[nagyka]

That implies the negative part. [They aren't verbally strangling one another yet.] I can always walk away.

ignoring post dates? who'd do that? also bah, who needs reserves

[wishupona]

Well I guess you're just going to be disappointed then! Sorry, Seifer.

[Only she's not sorry at all and the smile on her face proves this point.]

Think you'll be able to manage when there are four of us instead of only three?

[knightfan]

You serious, princess? You're actually comin' to this place?

[wishupona]

[She's never going to get away from that nickname is she.]

You bet! Someone's got to keep an eye on you guys and I'm just the girl for the job.

[Count down until she needs rescued in 3, 2, 1...]

[knightfan]

Hey, we don't all need babysitters.

[ Who is the head of the Dumbass Committee? This guy. Officially. Yeah, he needs a babysitter. ]

I ain't one of the people losin' limbs.

[wishupona]

That's what you think. Give me a few days and I'll have all of you wondering how you ever made it without me.

[Which is totally rubbish and she knows it, but it's easier than talking about how awkward it's going to be dealing with him on a frequent basis again. Sigh.]

Yet. You're not one of the people losing limbs yet.

[She reaches out, pointing at his face.]

I remember a time before you had that, remember?

[knightfan]

[ Seifer rolls his eyes at her, doubting how helpful she'll actually be. At least she'll be better than Impmon. ]

Yeah, yeah. I know you remember back then, but there's a difference between getting a scar in a training session and stupidly blowin' your arm off.

[wishupona]

[Hey, she was useful pre-sorceress powers and she can totally be useful without them again.]

I'm sure he thought he knew what he was doing, don't be so hard on him.

[She'll try to take care of them, but in all reality it's one of the others who's going to be doing most of the babysitting. Rinoa's never learned how to keep her nose out of trouble and going to a new world isn't going to fix that.]

At least his wasn't from a training session! Leave it to the two of you to find trouble doing something that's supposed to be safe.

[knightfan]

Don't be hard on him? Would you say the same thing if someone else had gotten their arm blown off because of him?

[ He'd looked up to Laguna since before he ever went to Garden, but even Seifer thought it was a dumb move. ]

Accidents happen in training sessions.

[ ...It wasn't exactly an accident, though. ]

So it's better that they happen there than in the battle field where things aren't controlled.

[wishupona]

It worked out in the end, right? Accidents happen, you said so yourself.

[She frowns, scuffing her feet awkwardly.]

I don't know. Maybe? It depends on how it happened.

[It's not like she actually knows how Laguna lost his arm, geeze.]

Of course they do. [She smiles, maybe just a little smug.] Some things are just a little more accidental than others.
