[ 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! ]

What slander?

Your claims that I-I send out a "vibe" that makes me prone to harassment! I'm not purposely doing any of the sort and I won't take responsibility for it!

Oh please, it's not slander if it's true. Why don't you grow a spine then maybe people won't feel the need to harass you anymore.

Th-then... [ how about he starts with you? ]

Stop harassing me -- !!

Nope, not very convincing. Try again.

Y-you're a really rude girl ... !!

You're the rude one, I was trying to help you. [she really was, in her own tough-love way...]

[ GUILT. tch. ]

You sure h-have a funny way of showing it.

Look, when you're telling someone off, stand up straight, take a deep breath, look them straight in the eye and with a confident low toned voice tell them to back off. And for goodness sakes don't stutter.

Mm... you're sure it'll work?

If I do all of that?

Well... maybe not at first but you know what they say, practice makes perfect.

Hm. [ okay, he's considering this. ]

Th-thanks.

[ i think. ]

You're welcome!
