[ 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! ]

Does he look like the type to be a giant anything?

[morecowbell]

I see your point.

I'm Nanami by the way, could I get a name to go with your voice.

[sulphurous]

Whatever for?

[morecowbell]

I don't know, so that I can call you by it?

[sulphurous]

Assuming we ever speak again.

[morecowbell]

Assuming we do, a name would be nice.

[sulphurous]

I suppose it would be.

[morecowbell]

This isn't happening is it? Fine, I'll just call you Richard and make your partner tell me later.

[sulphurous]

Were you not advocating the positives of standing up for yourself mere moments ago to him?

[morecowbell]

Let's be real, he's not going to master it immediately.

[sulphurous]

Not with someone like you helping him.

[morecowbell]

Hey I gave him some sage advice, my part is done. You're his partner, how about you help him out, Richard.

[sulphurous]

But he needs to learn the meaning of independence. [ haha ] And why that name, in peculiar?

[morecowbell]

I have a feeling you're quite all right with the current status of your partnership. Because it's the first name that popped into my head. [also even though she's a "lady" she can still laugh on the inside about the shortened version of it]

[sulphurous]

I won't argue with that. [ ah shrieks. ] I see.

[morecowbell]

[she'll just be sitting over here looking smug for a moment]

Well then, my part as unassuming audience is now over so I'll just leave you to do whatever it is that you do.
