[ shouichi irie is pacing. this is all going much, much too fast. adjusting to death city and its amenities was difficult enough on its own without all of the extra details and fine print involved. ]

Are you crazy? I-I'm not going to just run out to who-knows-where to like that! I don't know how to fight, I'm an engineer!

[ somewhere off screen, another voice cuts in: ]

That's exactly why I told you to leave it to me without making a fuss.

I can't think of any good reason why I ought to!

For a supposed genius, you're awfully slow.

Oh? F-for a proven delinquent, you're rather casual! I-I want to get this over with as much as the next person, but I don't think it should be done so recklessly!

Why not? If speed is the priority, a little collateral damage isn't worth crying over.

IT IS WHEN I'M THE COLLATERAL DAMAGE

Is that why you ran away crying in the middle of things?

For the last time, I wasn't crying! I was having a asthma attack!

Which only occurred because you started crying. I don't think I've ever seen that particular shade of blue before on a human, by the way.

I wasn't -- Okay, look. Wh-what I'm trying to suggest is that maybe it would be beneficial to the both of us, if we practised some first!

[ a pause. ]

Considering how the first practice run ended, perhaps it'd be better if you found someone more suited to your delicate sensibilities.

THEY'RE NOT DELICATE, THEY'RE PERFECTLY REASONABLE.

[ ooc: orange is shouichi, purple is mukuro! ]

Perhaps you should find someone else who's a little less work. Are your souls even compatible?

Our personalities are at odds.

Well, I'm not that well versed in how resonance works having only tried it once myself but I suppose even the best of partners may not necessarily see eye to eye. Professor Stein and Professor Albarn are like that.

Oh? Well, that's a relief. Personally, I think it makes things a little more interesting.

I bet it does, I can see why you're enjoying yourself. So are you a weapon or a meister?

Enjoying myself? You could say that.

That's awfully forward of you.

Huh? What do you mean?

Are you a weapon or a meister?

I'm a weapon.

I thought so.

How did you figure? Also, you can answer the question now.

Intuition, maybe?

It's more interesting if you guess.

Okay... I'm going with meister. [couldn't see that particular partnership any other way]

You're smarter than you look.

[is this some thinly veiled insult?] Are you saying I look dumb?

[ yes. ] I didn't say that.

[why you...] It seemed like it could have been implied although it's hard to tell when I can't see your face. Well, whatever, what kind of weapon is your partner?

Not a very useful one.

...

Do you disagree?

Oh, I had meant what type of weapon, as in what form does he take?

A spatula. [ no he's kidding. ]

Seriously? [totally falls for it...]
