I'm sure we all have a 'bucket' list of things we'd like to do sometime in our lives before we die. This place certainly gives us opportunities to cross items off it, such as getting to visit other continents.

On the other hand, it also presents us with things we'd never believed would ever happen to us - the whole manner of our arrival and subsequent submersion into this war aside.

[Akiha is back from her mission in Brazil and she's not terribly happy with how it went.]

For example, I can now claim that I have been eaten by a giant slug. Allow me to cross that off my list. I've always wanted to have to kill something while inside its stomach and then cut my way out. [/sarcasm]

That said, can anyone recommend a hair stylist here? I need to take a few inches off thanks to stomach acid. [Or whatever it was.]

[It's because it's far too close to her demon ability back home. She's hiding her nature given she wasn't sure how anyone of Shibusen would react to her being half-kishin by their standards.]

No. And you won't have to worry about it when we resonance spar; I told Yuri I wouldn't use it to help even the odds given Sion's kishin egg count in comparison to his.

[Yeah, Ange, did your partner bother telling you about the sparring plans?]

[entreats]

[ Nope, not at all. Hence why she has to second check what Akiha just said, letting it run through her head once more.. spar? Told Yuri? Wait, did Yuri once again plan something without telling her?! So typical of that guy, gah..! ]

Are you telling me Yuri just decided we're going to spar with you guys without even asking me to begin with?

[ritsu_kouyou]

Yes, I am.

[It's okay, Ange. Akiha didn't bother telling Sion either.]

[entreats]

[ You two are going to be the end of Ange and Sion. ]

.. Fine. Not that I particularly care. [ But there's still something vaguely grumpy. It's difficult to tell from just her usual expression though, honestly, it's way too close to it. ] At least I found out about it before it actually happened without me knowing it would.

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Just wait for drunken Monopoly night.]

It'll do you and him some good. You aren't going to be shy about attacking me, are you?

[entreats]

[ That's going to be the absolute worst end of everything. ]

I'd be worried if I'd come across as shy. [ :| Although honestly, she figures she probably can't really match Akiha.. she did say Sion already got to have some Kishin eggs, right? Yuri didn't have any, and it isn't like she's perfect with swords yet to begin with.. ugh. ] I'm not the type to go easy.

[ritsu_kouyou]

Good. I want to see what you're capable of.

[entreats]

.. Why? [ She blinks. ] It's not like you're my personal trainer or whatever, right?

[ritsu_kouyou]

Curiosity.

[She's actually scouting them, but doesn't want to say so.]

[entreats]

Well, don't get your expectations up. [ She's just being honest here, really. Not like Ange thinks too much of herself, and she knows she's only started with swordfighting ever since she came to this place, so she's aware of the fact she isn't very good. ]

I'd hate to disappoint.

[ It's presented in her usual deadpan way, but maybe she does mean part of that last bit. ]

[ritsu_kouyou]

Don't worry; no one ever lives up to my expectations. As long as you're competent and unlikely to cut your own foot off, I'm sure you won't actually disappoint.

[entreats]

I don't know, I've had my fair share of missing foot incidents here already. [ at least it's obvious she doesn't mean this much, it's just deadpan. ]

[ritsu_kouyou]

And here i thought that limp the other week had just been a normal injury. My bad.

[And the sheer fact that Akiha actually said 'my bad' is the only indication that she's rolling with Ange's humor.]
