leaberator | catchall for shirasu post-murder

I wouldn't say you have to, no-- but I can't exactly leave unless one of you chooses to do so.

[which is valid, considering everything, but. it sucks.]

[ hm. he heaves out a sigh ]

Well, it's gonna have to wait a few days, 'cause I don't think I'm gonna move a whole lot for a little bit.

You seemed to have a little difficulty with that, yes-- and I highly doubt a kick in the face affected you that badly.

Yeah-- good news! You're no longer the only person who's stabbed me while we were in this place.

[ that's oddly specific ]

But the effects do seem to be sticking, this time.

[is there mild salt there? maybe just a little.]

What happened in there?

Yours stuck around long enough, trust me.

[ :/ ]

Long story short, we were hit by something that made us go cuckoo-bananas, an' Vally and I sorta tried to kill one another. And the corrupted guy.

...well. I suppose I can no longer complain much about everything that happened last time, can I?

[they had a pretty decent time, all things considered? no attempts to kill each other? shirasu enjoyed snowboarding.]

And to think I'm the one others are concerned about, in this partnership...

You guys had your own mess to deal with, but I guess none of you got that injured.

[ at that one, though, he smiles a bit ]

Awww, you scared of me now, Shirasu? Promise I won't get hit by magic thorns again.

Absolutely not. I only mean that anyone concerned about your safety clearly needs to worry more about you than myself.

[it's more flat and annoyed than usual-- mentioning being afraid of people in particular is still kind of a sore spot.

but after a moment, he exhales a breath.]

You've at least had your wounds seen to, haven't you?

[ he laughs at that, seemingly unbothered, though it might be because-- ]

Yeah. You know, you're right, they probably should be.

[ why does it sound like an inside joke? weird. ]

There was a medical team on site, turns out. It worked out pretty well, though it was a bit weird that it was a bunch of robotic sheep doing it.

I'm not certain I'd trust the first-aid training of a sheep, but if you're satisfied...

[what the Fuck kind of place have they all been in this week.]

Ah, wait, you're from one of those worlds that don't have robots, right?

[ does shirasu even know north is one ]

I'm not familiar with the concept, no.

[so- no, he doesn't know north isn't human, it's fine]

[ axel needs to stop sliding into garbage explanations so easy, but here he goes ]

Long story short, they're very advanced technology. I dunno why someone built them to look like sheep, but... They've probably got more medical know-how than everyone else left in this place combined.

It still seems like poor planning to build something like that with no hands, if you ask me.

[what is a technology even-- but he's just not going to question it too hard. doctor sheep that someone built. sure. it cannot possibly be weirder than everything else here.]

It is, but has anything in these places been good planning?

...that's a fair point, honestly.

[it gets a faint laugh, as he shakes his head.]

They've often been quite strange, haven't they?

Seriously! Do you know how many weird places I've been to? Yet somehow, these get even weirder.

Which one is the strangest to you, then-- the one you've just been to, or was it one of the others?

Honestly, from what I heard? Your gateway adventure was a lot weirder than ours.

Weirder, but evidently less lethal.

[considering, you know, being stabbed.]

I can't give you that one, Val's the one who stabbed me.

But it provided the avenue for that to occur, as you said. He doesn't seem the type to have done it otherwise.

Yeah, but I feel like bringing Minato along was the big factor for that to happen.

I do feel as if that explains much.

Did he give the rest of you any trouble?
