[well, a little after npc reveal, she's hanging around the vicinity of mcdonalds.]

Hi, Matsui. [we're first names here.] What's on your mind?

[sanguinary]

[Sweet McDs, here to soothe them with the ever-present smell of nuggies.]

Hello, Red. [Red #1. No one in his life has ever called him Gou, so this is fine.] Mostly, I am considering the possibility of mass murder. And you?

[honkinbigteeth]

Oh, same. I mean, it definitely seems likely.

[sanguinary]

Mm. People will often go to extreme lengths to preserve their own life, even taking extremes out of consideration.

[Like Rang, who is clearly just here to have a good time and do a stab.]

[honkinbigteeth]

[yeah.]

The rules don't leave much wiggle room. People who go to extreme lengths are probably going to win.

[sanguinary]

Most likely. Though it does seem like there's a substantial risk for those who choose to erase another Player and get caught for it, given there is no guarantee they may return.

[It's a balancing act, as far as he can tell, between goals and the sort of extremes people are willing to go to.]

[honkinbigteeth]

That's right. And the type of person who would be motivated is probably also the type of person who cares what happens to them.

Still, I don't want to think that anyone might try to erase the people I care about.

[sanguinary]

[He gives her a considering look, but eventually nods.]

It's never a pleasant thing to face. I don't enjoy considering it, either.

[honkinbigteeth]

...Is that Buzen, for you?

[sanguinary]

[His head dips a little but there is truly no point in denying it.]

Yes. He's more than a precious comrade to me. [Buzen is his REASON FOR LIVING (real).] ...Who among our number is it for you?

[honkinbigteeth]

My precious comrade Gerard. [she's just copying how he said it because it sounded cool.]

[sanguinary]

[Two precious comrades for the price of one! There's a faint, barely-there flicker of a smile.]

You are from the same world, then? Do you travel together?

[honkinbigteeth]

[nod nod.]

We've been together through a couple worlds now.

[we're in selfie world this morning. does ylfa understand what a selfie is? no. but we're here. her ears are sort of perked up thinking.]

...I don't get it.

[sanguinary]

Ah... You travel between worlds?

[Sugoi... There seem to be so many worldhoppers out here.]

[sanguinary]

[this is the most feral energy icon i love it so much

Matsui the wholeass sword is also a wholeass idol with some experience in the modern world, so hilariously, he isn't too far off in his guess.]

I believe that it is a photography studio of sorts. They're quite popular in some places... You rent a room and costumes or props, and then take pictures within a staged setting.

[honkinbigteeth]

Not usually very much on purpose, but from time to time.

[honkinbigteeth]

[it's just a bit of pinkeye probably.]

Oh. Like for team photos...?

[sanguinary]

Accidental interworld travelers? [A slow nod...] It does happen. Strange that it would happen multiple times to the same people, though.

[sanguinary]

If you find a room with enough space for four, then yes, it could be.

[That's a cute idea actually, he might consider wrangling his over later.]

[honkinbigteeth]

No reason you can't squeeze in together, right? Let's pick out the perfect room for your team. Tell me about them, what's the vibe?

[honkinbigteeth]

Well - we have a magical book that tends to really bring the heat.

[sanguinary]

[There's a light little smile.]

Then perhaps we can do the same with yours. You and your precious comrade stuck together, correct? [Just assuming without looking because precious comrades gotta...] I am unsure of the "vibe", but Buzen is very much like the sun. He's always pleasant to be around... Warm and inviting. D has been nothing but polite and kind since I first spoke to him... He put out the fire at the McDonald's bush, that first day. [...] Rang is manageable.

[sanguinary]

...Is it a magical book that allows you to travel to other worlds?

[honkinbigteeth]

Yep. We're with Rin and Haru. They're fun.
