You sounded experienced with this sort of thing, at least.

[leaberator]

Hmm... sorta. Fighting off the darkness before it destroys worlds is... kind of a thing, back home.

[ not that he always helped with it, but, y'know, whatever ]

[nonbelligerent]

Well, that's probably why you were chosen for this.

[leaberator]

You think? [ he sounds a bit doubtful ] If all they wanted was someone with experience, I'm not the best guy for the job.

[nonbelligerent]

Maybe they didn't want someone too experienced.

[leaberator]

That's reassuring. Wouldn't want us to succeed too easily, is that it?

[nonbelligerent]

Or perhaps they hoped you'd be more open-minded than someone set in their ways.

But to be honest, I have no idea what they're thinking.

[leaberator]

I don't think they have any idea what they're thinking, either.

[ if they're being honest. ]

We're kinda flying blind here. I'm not sure how giving us all new powers is supposed to help, either.

[nonbelligerent]

Yes. I understand the general reasoning, but I would've preferred my own.

[leaberator]

No kidding. [ he went through so much trouble to get a stupid giant key, what the heck, let him have it?? ] And I'm not sure how to feel about the list of "other" powers they have up there.

[ he can fucking read now and he has a lot of questions, and all of them are "what" ]

[nonbelligerent]

[let lea have his giant key!!]

They're very interesting.

[which is one way of putting it.]

[leaberator]

You don't gotta be diplomatic about it. They're weird, and trust me, I've seen plenty of weird stuff in my time.

[ he scratches the back of his neck ]

Should've asked those two about them once they pointed it out. Maybe they'd at least answer what good it'd do for anyone to be able to change someone's speech pattern.

[nonbelligerent]

What, is that your ability?

[leaberator]

Heck if I know. It might be. I haven't exactly tested it out to see.

[ but he doesn't deny that he's fire which tbf EVERYONE SO SHOOK 🔥 ]

[nonbelligerent]

[gasp shock awe]

It'll be amusing if it turns out to be that.

[leaberator]

Yeah, then I'll have a real reason to complain about it.

[nonbelligerent]

At least it's a relatively harmless way to get back at someone.

[leaberator]

Are you already trying to figure out ways to get revenge, Shess? Who got on your bad side so early?

[ he's kidding. maybe. ]

[nonbelligerent]

Maybe you did after all the hand-cutting jokes.

[leaberator]

Ehh? Me?

[ points at himself dramatically, absolutely exaggerating like an asshole ]

That's harsh, Sessh. Here I thought you could handle a little teasing between friends.

[nonbelligerent]

I could be very sensitive.

[leaberator]

Can't believe this ... Beneath the cat hood, you're a real vengeful guy.

[ he has not actually done anything yet. ]

[nonbelligerent]

And beneath the spiky hair, you're rather down-to-earth.

[leaberator]

Ah, don't say stuff like that. You'll ruin my reputation.

[ how ]

[nonbelligerent]

You have a reputation?
