[ Scramble Crossing. Everyone wakes up here after completing the day's tasks. So, as Hoshi yawns and stretches, she'll approach her partner with a grin on her face. Her arms are behind her head, supporting it somewhat. ]

Yo, partner. What's the task for today?

[ Friendly enough, yeah? ]

[ Noise. It's always the Noise. As you and her are confronted by a swarm of them, her dagger immediately unsheathes and she twirls the blade around in her hand. If this is your first time, don't worry - she's got things under control!

At least she hopes so. ]

Ready for this?

[ Please don't die on me-- ]

[ Well, now you've done it. You've either gave her one of her detested foods, made her wear a brand she doesn't like - whatever. Now she's mad and growling a little. ]

Don't think I'm gonna forgive ya over this! I've told ya repeatedly, I hate Lapin Angelique, Natural Puppy and Sheep Heavenly!

[ How are you gonna defuse this? ]

Huh, it sounds more interesting than heavy. I don't need a pin, or whatever. My ability is my own. These reapers, they choose their players. Heh, I might be interested if one were to approach me. I'm rather bored standing around here.

These missions, you mean you're fighting to live again?

[radiancy]

Well, that's all right and good and whatever, but pins are apparently the only way to get through the Noise. But, hey, all I can do is suggest. It's up to ya to make yer own choice.

And yeah. I've got my family and friends to get back to.

[sou_kigetsuki]

Sounds like a boring reason to return. Yawn. Wake me when you have something more interesting. I don't need a lecture about choices.

[radiancy]

Well, ain't ya a real funny guy? That sort of behavior's not gonna win ya any favors 'round here.

[sou_kigetsuki]

To each their own. I only stated my opinion on the matter. I never said that you had to like it.

[radiancy]

Sounds like ya wanted me to.

[sou_kigetsuki]

You're reading into this more than was said.

[radiancy]

Ya gotta know how to survive so that ya can fight for survival, ya know.

[sou_kigetsuki]

[He rolls his eyes at that.]

Yeah, yeah. So what are you suggesting?

[radiancy]

I'll be Captain Obvious for a moment:

Don't get yer ass killed by a Reaper. That's yer one-way ticket to getting into the UG, where I am.

[sou_kigetsuki]

That's not a suggestion.

[He actually looks a little disappointed.]

That's advice. Will you quit it with the damn acronyms?

[radiancy]

Suggestion, advice - after a while, they tend to blend together.

[ Blink. ]

Fine, fine. UG is short for Underground and RG is short for Realground. Ya happy, skippy?

[sou_kigetsuki]

My name is Kit.

[Which isn't his real name and he's not giving that out so easily.]

And no, they don't blend. I get that now, so now it's fine to use the acronyms now that I know what they are. Geez, the assumptions people make is astounding.

[radiancy]

Hoshi. Nice to meet'cha, Kit.

[ What guise does she have to hide behind? ]

I'd shake yer hand, but ya'd be passin' through nothin'.

[sou_kigetsuki]

I don't shake hands.

[He's still in denial of his own presence.]

I'm surprised that you hadn't collapsed from using that kind of dimensional energy. It would be suffocating, wouldn't it?

[radiancy]

Why? Ya chicken yer gonna get cooties from me?

[ To that, she'll just shrug. ]

Whatever power keeps me alive, if only in this form, works. I ain't gonna tempt fate.

[sou_kigetsuki]

Ha! Hardly. I've outgrown that stage a long time ago. You said yourself that you would pass right through me.

[Still, he was curious and reached out to take her hand. He's dead himself. He hardly cared about boundaries unless he wanted them there.]

[radiancy]

[ She takes his hand with her own and gives it a firm shake. ]

I can be wrong.

[sou_kigetsuki]

There. I guess this either proves that we're both dead or that we're still alive. Either way, the point is proven. You don't have cooties. Geez, how childish.
